LI. Mail Functions

Introduktion

The mail() function allows you to send mail.

Krav

For the Mail functions to be available, PHP must have access to the sendmail binary on your system during compile time. If you use another mail program, such as qmail or postfix, be sure to use the appropriate sendmail wrappers that come with them. PHP will first look for sendmail in your PATH, and then in the following: /usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/etc:/etc:/usr/ucblib:/usr/lib. It's highly recommended to have sendmail available from your PATH. Also, the user that compiled PHP must have permission to access the sendmail binary.

Installation

Inga extra installationer behövs för att använda dessa funktioner; de är en del av PHP-kärnan.

Konfiguration under drift

De här funktionernas beteende påverkas av inställningarna i php.ini.

Tabell 1. Mail configuration options

Name	Default	Changeable
SMTP	"localhost"	PHP_INI_ALL
smtp_port	"25"	PHP_INI_ALL
sendmail_from	NULL	PHP_INI_ALL
sendmail_path	DEFAULT_SENDMAIL_PATH	PHP_INI_SYSTEM

For further details and definition of the PHP_INI_* constants see ini_set().

Här följer en kort förklaring av konfigurationsdirektiven.

SMTP string

Used under Windows only: DNS name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function.

smtp_port int

Used under Windows only: Number of the port to connect to the server specified with the SMTP setting when sending mail with mail(); defaults to 25. Only available since PHP 4.3.0.

sendmail_from string

Which "From:" mail address should be used in mail sent from PHP under Windows.

sendmail_path string

Where the sendmail program can be found, usually /usr/sbin/sendmail or /usr/lib/sendmail. configure does an honest attempt of locating this one for you and set a default, but if it fails, you can set it here.

Systems not using sendmail should set this directive to the sendmail wrapper/replacement their mail system offers, if any. For example, Qmail users can normally set it to /var/qmail/bin/sendmail or /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject.

qmail-inject does not require any option to process mail correctly.
