Description:
------------
when sendmail is not found at configure time, PHP_PROG_SENDMAIL is defined as "" in main/php_config.h, so DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH is defined as "" " -t -i ". this lead to no error message and mail() just return false.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$ rm /usr/sbin/sendmail
$ ./configure
$ make

(now go install /usr/sbin/sendmail with any packages like rpm)
(and you have /usr/sbin/sendmail after php is built)
$ ./sapi/cli/php testmail.php

Expected result:
----------------
php should use "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i" to send email

Actual result:
--------------
php try to execute " -t -i"
