${US_ROOTF} wrong value when using php-cli.ini from CLI

[carlopug]

Hi to everybody,

this is my first post here.

 

I've a problem sending email from php54 CLI.

The .ini file used is php-cli.ini from core\php54 folder.

 

But the ${US_ROOTF} variable in the .ini contain the user home directory in windows (ex. "C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\").

 

How about this strange behaviour?

 

TIA,

Carlo

Please supply example code, do not include a real email address.

Explain how you run this code.

 

All the best

Sure!

 

This is the code of test.php file:

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', '1');

mail("to@email.com", "Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3");
die();

This is the command line to run the code:

F:\UniServerZ\core\php54\php -f F:\Home\Dropbox\test.php

This is the error message:

Impossibile trovare il percorso specificato.

that sounds like "unable to find the specified path" or something silimar (I use italian OS).

 

I think that the ${US_ROOTF} variable contains a wrong path value...

 

This is the command line to see the default configuration file loaded:

f:\uniserverz\core\php54\php -r "print (php_ini_loaded_file());"

the output result is:

F:\uniserverz\core\php54\php-cli.ini

php-cli.ini default file contains:

sendmail_path = "${US_ROOTF}/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe --file=${US_ROOTF}/core/msmtp/msmtprc.ini  -t"

extension=php_com_dotnet.dll

If I try to change sendmail_path configuration with

sendmail_path = "F:/UniServerZ/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe --file=F:/UniServerZ/core/msmtp/msmtprc.ini  -t"

the following error comes out:

F:/UniServerZ/core/msmtp/msmtp.exe: cannot log to C:\Users\utente\AppData\Roaming\core\msmtp\msmtp.log: cannot open: No such file or directory

and the email was correctly send. In the last error message I can see the USER HOME path so I think that ${US_ROOTF} contains it.

 

This solution is not the best...

What can I do?

I assume you are running the following command line:

 

F:\UniServerZ\core\php54\php -f F:\Home\Dropbox\test.php

 

from a standard command prompt (cmd). What is missing are two environment variables HOME (required by msmtp.exe) and US_ROOTF (required by php-cli.ini)

UniController automatically creates these environment variables. For example run UniController and click "Server Console" button this opens a console window (command prompt). Now enter the command line:

php -f F:\Home\Dropbox\test.php

your script will run correctly. Generally if you are using the command line to run PHP scripts use this command prompt.

All the best

You are right!!!

Thank you very much!!!

 

I never used the server console before...

 

Setting HOME and US_ROOTF variables from the batch before calling php is the right way to solve the problem.

 

Is there a method to force the server console environment to call custom batch?

 

TIA,
