PHP and the Mail() Problem with my Web Host

Web Host not helping me with some PHP config

[resolvco]

Curretly I am using a certain Web Host Company that has the PHP.ini removed and they don't use the standard directory for sendmail.

It's a Linux site, I started out my Script with
<?PHP
set_include_path('/trial');
error_reporting(7);

then I put my PHP.ini in the /trial folder;
[My PHP.ini File]
sendmail_path = "/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i
SMTP = mailhub.registeredsite.com
include_path = ".:/usr/local/
engine = On

So, that's it. I could really use some help on this!

Thanks so Much in Advance.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld, resolvco.

You won't be able to do what you think you are doing here as that is not how a PHP configuration file works.

The php.ini is read at Apache start and loaded in memory. You can view the contents of the php.ini by using the phpinfo() [php.net] function.

<?php 
phpinfo(); 
?>

Load that little snippet there into a script, FTP it over to your server and call the file up in your browser. Scan the page that gets displayed and you'll find your sendmail path ;)

Coopster....you were right. I ran the PHPInfo and did get a bunch! I can't seem to get to the location of the ini file though. They and other sources say that by default, sendmail should be found. This was the comment from their helpdesk: Sorry for the inconvenience, please use mailhub.registeredsite.com for your e-mail smtp in PHP.

And I guess I'm stuck as to where to make this declaration. Shouldn't sendmail already have this in control?

Well Thanks Again and any additional guidance will be appreciated!
