Description: ------------ If safe mode is switched on, Mail_mail::send() will fail with the following error message: Warning: mail(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE. The problem occurs even though only a backend driver, but no params are passed to the factory method. Here's a patch that fixed the problem for me: --- mail.php~ Wed Sep 17 16:09:02 2003 +++ mail.php Wed Sep 17 16:14:47 2003 @@ -109,7 +109,12 @@ // flatten the headers out. list(,$text_headers) = Mail::prepareHeaders($headers); - return mail($recipients, $subject, $body, $text_headers, $this->_params); + // Only pass fifth parameter to mail() if safe mode is off. + if (ini_get('safe_mode') == '1') { + return mail($recipients, $subject, $body, $text_headers); + } else { + return mail($recipients, $subject, $body, $text_headers, $this->_params); + } } } Best regards, Christof
