Yep. I changed line 217 to (according to your last post);

Code: Select all

if(!ini_get('safe_mode')) { 
      mail($recipient, $subject_encoded, $body, $from); 
   } else { 
      mail($recipient, $subject_encoded, $body, $from); 
   }

[mdgroot]

Any idea of what the problem was/is ?

[Oliver Georgi]

Maybe additional headers are the problem or the "\n" has to be "\r\n" or "\n\r" on your system. Sometimes it is.

You can try this:

Code: Select all

if(isset($send_copy_to)) { 
      $from = "From: ".$send_copy_to."\r\n"; 
      if(!ini_get('safe_mode')) { 
         mail($send_copy_to, $subject_encoded, $body, "From: ".$recipient."\r\n".$content_type."\r\n"); 
      } else { 
         mail($send_copy_to, $subject_encoded, $body, "From: ".$recipient."\r\n".$content_type."\r\n"); 
      } 
   } else { 
      $from = "From: ".$recipient."\r\n"; 
   } 
   if(!ini_get('safe_mode')) { 
      mail($recipient, $subject_encoded, $body, $from.$content_type."\r\n"); 
   } else { 
      mail($recipient, $subject_encoded, $body, $from.$content_type."\r\n"); 
   }

Oliver,

What is;
"-f".$from

doing ?
If I only remove (I'm still a little bit experimenting:-) ) this bit then the form is working.

additional attribut for sendmail

For your information, this code sorted the problem for me.

   }

Hi,

I have checked and worked out this one. I think this works best for everybody:

http://www.phpwcms.de/support/act_formmailer.zip

You will need the most current general.inc.php.

i changed these files and the email form worked. but some areas of the backend stoped working properly, specifically the article features.

That thread is ~almost~ 4 month's old and phpWCMS has progressed beyond any use of that, I believe.
