error sending emails, in compatibility.php

[sclifford]

Hi,

 

i have installed oscommerce on a windows host, and installed patch 1.5.

 

i am gettingthe following error when i try sending emails from the contact page....

 

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in E:\domains\u\uklockpickers.co.uk\user\htdocs\oscommerce\catalog\includes\functions\compatibility.php on line 170

 

166 if (!function_exists('checkdnsrr')) {
167	function checkdnsrr($host, $type) {
168	  if(tep_not_null($host) && tep_not_null($type)) {
169		@exec("nslookup -type=$type $host", $output);
170		while(list($k, $line) = each($output)) {
171		  if(eregi("^$host", $line)) {
172			return true;
173		  }
174		}
175	  }
176	  return false;
177	}
178  }

 

 

Have i not got something installed correctly when applying the patch?

 

 

thx in advance.

With a windows box you need to set your mail to SMTP not sendmail.

There are contirbutions for SMTP if the defualt does not work
