Script implementation for Sendmail? - Where do I put it?

[rbftp]

This was found in one of tje General forums, but was locked. Where would I install this function to work with osCommerce?

 

 

Hello All  

I have had a heck of a time getting PHP to send out confirmation emails on my server, and I have seen countless complaints on the list about this. So I have written my own tep_mail using the popen command that bypasses the php mail command completely. I am running Postfix, a sendmail replacement that is working flawlessly on my server except that PHP will not talk to it using the built-in mail command. Must be some permissions problem??  

 

With this new function my_tep_mail, I am able to reliably send out confirmation emails, every time. I have also added the capability to add a few more parameters to tep_mail, with a bit of error checking as well. I am happy, I hope some of you can use it as well.  

 

Note the use of sendmail -oi -oem option to allow spoofing Return-Path headers.  

 

Good Luck

function my_tep_mail($toAddress, $subject, $message, $additional_headers = '',  

$to_name,$from_name,$fromAddress,$replyAddress) {  

 

if (trim($to_name)=="") { $to_name="Shopping Customer";};  

if (trim($toAddress) == "") {  

$toAddress="[email protected]";};  

if (trim($fromAddress)=="") { $fromAddress="[email protected]";}  

if (trim($subject)=="") { $subject="My Sales Update";};  

if (trim($replyAddress)=="") { $replyAddress="[email protected]";};  

 

$recipient =$toAddress;  

 

/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */  

 

$headers .= "X-Sender: " . $fromAddress. "n";  

$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP Scriptn"; // mailer  

$headers .= "X-Priority: 1n"; // Urgent message!  

$headers .= "Return-Path: " . $fromAddress. "n"; // Return path for errors  

 

/* If you want to send html mail, uncomment the following line */  

// $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1n"; // Mime type  

 

// $headers .= "Bcc: [email protected]"; // BCCs  

 

$LocationOfSendmail="/usr/sbin/sendmail";  

 

if (($fp = popen($LocationOfSendmail . " -oi -oem -f""  

. $fromAddress . """ ,"w"))!=0) {  

$out = "From: " . $fromAddress . "n";  

$out .= "To: " . $recipient ."n";  

$out .= "Subject: " . $subject . "n";  

if ($headers != "") {  

$out .= $headers ."n";  

}  

$out .= "n";  

$out .= $message ."n";  

fputs($fp,$out);  

pclose($fp);  

return 1;  

}  

else {  

return 0;  

}  

}
