Re: [PHP-INST] Re: Problems with mail() From: Juan Ant. Marti'nez (Juanan.Martinez <email protected>)

Hi,

First of all, thanks for the suggestions. My problem is 'almost' solved.
I have succeeded sending an e-mail with the mail function. The problem
was in the php.ini file. I had limited the execution of phpinfo() and
system() commands. If I enable both commands, the mail() function works
fine.

The problem is that I would like to have both functions limited. PHP is
installed in a multiuser environment and there's a lot of information
available with phpinfo(). Is it possible to make mail() work with
phpinfo() and system() disabled? If that's not possible, how can I limit
the information phpinfo() gives -ideally it should give no information-.

Thanks,

Juanan
