[1998-04-27 11:06 UTC] be at shonline dot de

when there is no sendmail_path
defined in php3.ini
the default path found by the configure script
is ignored and a program named " -t" is called
to deliver mail
(which is actually the sendmail -t parameter)


by the way: is it really neccessary to call
sendmail by -t?

any lightweight sendmail simulation/wrapper
which is usually sensible in chrooted cgi
environments could do the mta job if only
php wouldn't call by -t

This isn't exactly a bug, you're not supposed to specify
empty values for that key.  nonetheless, I changed it
to ensure that the value is indeed unempty if it exists.
I also changed it so that the value supplied in the
php3.ini file is the full command line, that is, -t will
not be added to it (the default is still sendmail -t, 
and you can also specify arguments in the sendmail_path
directive in php3.ini)
