This line works fine in PHP Version 3.0.16 but not in PHP Version 4.0.1pl2:
mail($email,'[WorkOrder]: New WO received',$msgText,"From: jswift@bindview.com\r\n");

I have tried leaving the extra header information off:
mail($email,'[WorkOrder]: New WO received',$msgText);

php3.ini and php.ini both contain the same section:
SMTP           = "rd.bindview.com"
sendmail_from  = "jswift@bindview.com"
;sendmail_path =

PHP4 seems to work well in other circumstances, such as retrieving info from the database, etc.  When I go to test PHP4, I rename index.php3 to index.php; the .php extension is set up to run via PHP4.

When I comment the mail() lines in the script, PHP4 executes it correctly.

This is with the CGI version of PHP4, not the ISAPI version. I'm running WinNT4.0 and IIS4.0.  I am loading the php_mssql70.dll.

Please let me know if you need more info or if I can help in any way.  (I'm really excited about getting 4.0 running so that I can implement its session support.)

Thanks,

The symptom:
the web page attempts to load, but the server never responds with information.  I do not receive an error message.

I have also tried using \n and \r\n in the message text and header info.  I have tried leaving them off altogether.

I have tried uncommenting the sendmail_path and leaving it empty.

Thanks again,
Joel Swift

User feedback:

I downloaded and built the latest version from CVS but now
it won't read my php.ini file. No idea if the SMTP problem is fixed.

Please try latest CVS or snapshot from http://snaps.php.net
and reopen this bug report if  mail() doesn't work. 

If something else is broken submit a new bug report. One bug per report.
