php mail ()

[wormsunited]

Hey greetings to all of you   

I recently updated one of my servers from the PHP version 5.4.16 to 5.6.30. This solved some issues i had with PHP scripts i had to run, a few of them were a session shopping cart i was making. Other server with the same configurations but i did not update gives me the same issue, here is what is wrong with me:

I moved to some different project and when i reached the form submission i found out that i cant send emails from a PHP script using the mail() function. I checked some information before i do any more steps and i found a lot of issues related to this but no one cant tell exactly how to fix this.

Now i am running the latest version of Sentora 1.0.3 within a Centos 7 Minimal x64 8GB ram with 150GB HDD.

I wish some of you can contribute to help me. Thanks in advance!

Hey bud, 

What is exactly wrong with the mail() function ?

Could you give more in depth errors and what you have found to be the issue etc.

Question: what is the error lol

Hi so sorry, well i have a code to submit a form, very simple one just to send a notification by email. This is my code:

PHP Code:

<?php
// the message
$msg = "New Item submitted";
// use wordwrap() if lines are longer than 70 characters
$msg = wordwrap($msg,70);
// send email
mail("someone@example.com","Pay attention you got a new Submission",$msg);
?>

Now this code comes right after a query to insert in MySQL and before an echo function to notifiy that was sent. All passes just fine and the query works like a charm. But the system does not send the email. It seems that my PHP its using the sendmail option, so i think i gotta edit the sendmail? That's the thing, i dont know were or how to edit this.

Thanks in advance and my best regards mate!

Late reply wormsunited. you can check in Admin>Sentora Config. Scroll down and you will see what the server is using as default for mail provider. the options you r have SMTP/PHPMAIL/sendmail

Hey there, well i did but it simply does not work! I have that option but it seems Sentora makes sendmail the default one. So it must be inside sendmail files. Even so, i cant seem to make this working tho. I am considering using a PHPMailer Class on it with a php.ini file just for this domain name.

Any ideas?
