Works as php program, but doesn't when invoked within a webpage. Here's the synopsis:
Platform:
Win/7 Pro Sp1
Apache 2.4
Php 5.6
Cygwin emulator gives Linux/Unix emu and has
Exim 4.84-1 (alternative to sendmail)
program: sendit.php
| Code: | hndl popen( exim ... )
fwrite(hndle, email_headers);
fwrite(hndle, email_body);
fflush(hndle);
fclose(hndle); |
(a)launch from user account
php sendit.php -> exim/exim_main.log updated
reports 368 bytes sent to exim
-> email arrives
>> demonstrates sendit.php works & Exim config and permissions are correct
(b)launch from apache account uid(apache) gid(srvc)
php sendit.php -> exim/exim_main.log updated
reports 368 bytes sent to exim
-> email arrives
>> demonstrates sendit.php runs from any account
(c)launch from within a web page
Apache is run from its own uid/gid as in (b)
page.phtml
sendit.php
-> NO update to exim log
-> no mail recv'd
reports same NNN bytes send to exim
*NO* I/O errors
*I* fwriting_stream 368 bytes ...
*** wrote body fragment 368
*** wrote total 368
*I* Wrote Body:(368) of 368
*I* Wrote EOT(5) of 5
*I* FLUSHING pipe
*I* closing pipe
*I* is closed pipe
*I* returning 3
adding -d+deliver+host_lookup+lookup+rewrite options to the popen(), yields nice trace - -
EXCEPT when run withing Apache - - nothing shows up
Apache cfg has ExecCGI in the directory and other php / perl programs run there.
Issue is Exim is not within the Apache environment (/usr/bin/exim)
So, created link /usr/bin/exim -> docroot/exim
and reference this instance popen(docroot/exim ...)
Still fails to deliver via pipe -> exim
Any ideas??? |

| Are your php.ini settings the same on the command line as when you run it on apache? |

absolutely
#STATUS: SOLVED 2015-05-30
Issue is Windows + Cygwin pathing
PHP tolerates Cygwin as $PATH is available.
Running within
Apache LoadModule php5_module "c:/php/php5.6/php5apache2_4.dll" does not
Must use an absolute WINDOWS path like
c:/cygwin/bin/exim-4.84-1.exe within the server.
php cmdPath_Tests.php
uses file_exists($path) exec to
find that path usable within Apache
