Call to undefined function: mail()

Since my last yum upgrade on my FC3 server I've been unable to send using mail()

I've got the following php packages installed:

php-mysql-4.3.11-8.rhfc3.art
php-pear-4.3.11-8.rhfc3.art
php-4.3.11-8.rhfc3.art
php-mbstring-4.3.11-8.rhfc3.art

downgrading to php-4.3.11-7 solved it for me.

Could you write a basic php test script for that for me? That would help me out putting together automated tests for this kind of thing.

what I use is....

Code: Select all

<?php

error_reporting(E_STRICT);

function getmicrotime()
{
  list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime()); 
  return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec); 
} 

$script_start = getmicrotime();	

mail('<email address>','test','This is a test');

echo sprintf("%.4f",(getmicrotime() - $script_start));

?>

Just go through and replace <email address> with your email address

Yes, I too am having this problem. I'm on -8 also. NOTE: This seems to be a problem SPECIFIC to Fedora Core right now as I also have a RHEL box and it's working perfectly.

Any update on this?

havent had a chance to look into it, but I'll probably resolve it on 4.4.0

Just got the same problem, and solved it by installing 4.3.11-7. Also, it shown a dependency on libpdf.so.1. In case anyone has the same problem, just install PDFlib package.

I am experiencing the same on Fedora Core 3 and Plesk 7.5.4 with the yum update from ART.

I sincerely hope that Scott has a fix for this when he comes back from his (well deserved) vacation!

Yes, mail() is also not working with your current 4.4.0 release. I went back Fedora Core 3's php again.
