[SOLVED] Postfix and PHP mail function

Hey,

I recently installed a complete mail server using Postix + Courier POP3 + MySQL for multiple domains and for some weird reason I can't make use of the PHP mail function. The e-mail is send correctly but with no contents or information at all. I've been trying different things like changing the php.ini sendmail_path option but no results at the moment.

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i").
; http://php.net/sendmail-path
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f info@domain.com

That is the output of /var/log/mail.log using the php form:

Oct 12 11:19:46 cadaques postfix/pickup[6020]: D626943EEF: uid=33 from=<http>
Oct 12 11:19:46 cadaques postfix/cleanup[6040]: D626943EEF: message-id=<20091012001946.D626943EEF@domain.com>

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail";
// From
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

// Enter your email address
$to ='info@domain.com';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

// Check, if message sent to your email
// display message "We've received your information"
if($send_contact){
echo "We've received your contact information";
}
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

No idea where to go from here.. anyone who had similar problems?

Thanks a lot!

Re: [SOLVED] Postfix and PHP mail function

<?php
// Contact subject
$subject ="$subject";
// Details
$message="$detail";

// Mail of sender
$mail_from="$customer_mail";
// From
$header="from: $name <$mail_from>";

// Enter your email address
$to ='info@domain.com';

$send_contact=mail($to,$subject,$message,$header);

<SNIP>

Where does $subject, $detail and $customer_mail get set? From what you've posted, they will be unassigned variables so an empty e-mail is to be expected.

Re: [SOLVED] Postfix and PHP mail function

Solved!! The error was on the PHP form script, I found a different one and yeah it works very well.
