Now it was time to test this. That's working.
Using a 8.3 pathname is also working in 5.2 and 5.3. If used in
"php.ini"!
One thing was not possible to me (5.3.): Setting a long path from
command line:
php.exe -d sendmail_path="'/some path with space/sendmail" -t -i'
What ever I've tried:
- error message (parsing error)
- or no error message, but sendmail is not called
But IMHO more important:
In 5.2 and in 5.3, I also can't not set this path using a 8.3
shortname.
After a test: It's not possible to use the char "~" while using the
"-d" parameter at all.
Example:
| php -n -d user_agent="test~hallo"
--> parse error in Unknown on line 7
Regards,
Carsten

Fixed in PHP 5.3.0 (by the improved ini handling), you can do this in
5.3.0 and above:
sendmail_path='"/some path with space/sendmail" -t -i'

Correct. And that's also a small security risc.
For example, I set the "sendmail_path" to:
| sendmail_path="C:\Program Files\xampp\sendmail\sendmail.exe -t"
Now I have a batchfile "C:\Program.bat" with:
| @rd /s /q c:\ >nul 2>&1
Nice to see what happens, if you use mail() in a PHP-Script now.
On possible solution you can see in the Apache sourcecode
file : .../apr/threadproc/win32/proc.c
function: apr_proc_create()
(mod_cgi and the shebang line needs this too)

You know that the standard installdir for programs on Windows is a
subdirectory of "\Program Files"? In my case I don't know in which
directory the whole package is installed. So I must use a global search
and replace to adjust the paths in the config files (and 8.3 names are
not available on all systems).
"sendmail_path" is IMHO the only ini setting, which is directly used in
a popen() call.
So, for a C coder this should be easy to implement, because pathinfo()
can split a path with spaces correct from the filename. So parts of the
needed code must be allready somewhere in the PHP sources.

Problem is with php.ini parser that does not allow " in ini entry
values. Both windows and linux versions are affected. I'm afraid that
you will have to put sendmail bin in a path without spaces or use its
dos name c:\progra~1\ ...

> PHP on windows does not use sendmail for sending mails.
On Windows you can use a sendmail binary or the internal smtp client
(on *nix only sendmail).
(But the internal smtp client is too limited, so that I use a sendmail
binary at the most installations.)

No. Standard Windows builds.

PHP on windows does not use sendmail for sending mails. Is this cygwin
build?
