Because there is no native php sendMail() function... You should use the native mail() function and setup your server to use send

I have the same code running smoothly in PHP 5.2.0 but on this server with PHP 5.1.6 it is nondeterministic whether the mail function is defined or not. I am sure the problem is not in the code itself because simply running this script: // PHP http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5996712/php-5-1-6-php-fatal-error-call-to-undefined-function-mail 5.1.6 ... php prints sometimes "mail is defined" and sometimes "mail is undefined". email phpmailer php share|improve this question edited Oct 7 '13 at 10:15 Colin 't Hart 3,6631338 asked May 13 '11 at 19:18 Matteo 192 Regarding PHP 5.1.5, someone posted a similar report. Unfortunately, the maintainer qualified it as a non-bug. Did you compile PHP yourself? Or do you use a standard build of a linux distribution? –SteAp May 13 '11 at 19:43 1 check your mail function via phpinfo() some hosting companies can disable mail function if your hosting company disabled mail function you can check this URL link –Mustafa May 13 '11 at 19:43 Do you get both "defined" and "undefined" from the same server? In that case you might want to ask your hosting provider to fix the problems and install PHP with mail() support. –Arjan May 13 '11 at 20:53 yes, I get defined and undefined randomly just refreshing a page containing only this script. mail looks correctly compiled and enabled in phpinfo(). I think I will ask rackspace (my hosting company) if they can fix it
fix it, so now is http://jgwong.org/writeups/mailerror.php the time to give back. Executive summary: This error occurs https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/243818-call-to-undefined-function-mail/ because PHP couldn't find sendmail at compile time. So the mail function didn't get built, thank you. Here's what to do to fix it: If you compiled PHP before compiling (or installing) Sendmail, you just have to recompile call to PHP again (with Sendmail installed) and, hopefully, you're done. If you use QMail (that was our case), you have to fool PHP that Sendmail is actually there, using QMail's wrapper. Just do: ln -s /var/qmail/bin/sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail , recompile and, hopefully, you're done. You're using some other esoteric call to undefined mail server which is not Sendmail. If it has a wrapper to Sendmail, try the QMail tip (doing a symbolic link to the wrapper). If you don't have a wrapper, well... you're on your own. Unless you really need to use that mail server, I recommend QMail or Postfix. In all cases you must recompile. It's important to do a make clean and then do the whole configure/make/make install dance, otherwise you'll compile the same configuration (with no mail function) all over again. Yes, I did that twice, silly me. I don't know exactly in which places PHP looks for Sendmail, but I know one of them is /usr/sbin/ (to make it clear, it looks for the file /usr/sbin/sendmail). Hope that helps. Revisions: 2004/01/13 - Thanks to Oliver for pointing an incorrect ln call. It's fixed now. Back to my page
