Description:
------------
Starting with php-5.2.6 the PHP_PROG_SENDMAIL detected at configure time isn't picked up any more as a default value for DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH. This breaks the mail() function on systems where DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH != /usr/sbin/sendmail (e.g. Solaris with /usr/lib/sendmail) and sendmail_path isn't explicitly set in php.ini.

The following patch restores the behavior known up to php-5.2.5:

--- main/main.c.orig    Mon May  5 16:44:56 2008
+++ main/main.c Mon May  5 16:47:06 2008
@@ -355,6 +355,8 @@
 /* Windows and Netware use the internal mail */
 #if defined(PHP_WIN32) || defined(NETWARE)
 #      define DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH NULL
+#elif defined(PHP_PROG_SENDMAIL)
+#      define DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH PHP_PROG_SENDMAIL " -t -i "
 #else
 #      define DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i"
 #endif

Is there a specific reason why the two lines have been removed?
