[PHP] Re: mail() & getenv() problems (after 4.1.2 update)...

[Keith Waters]

I'm having the same problem -

I've been using the mail() command for quite some time now and it's been
working 100% and executing immediately.

Suddenly, this morning, it is taking about 60 seconds to send mail, delaying
the display of the php web page by that same amount of time.

I have checked the mail server and sending mail from the command prompt
(linux) and there is no delay there.

Does anybody have any clue? I even momentarily downgraded to 4.1.0 to make
sure it wasnt a bug in 4.1.2

[PHP] Re: mail() & getenv() problems (after 4.1.2 update)...

[Keith Waters]

Just to report back to the group, the mail() delay problem was solved by
putting entries into /etc/hosts to speed up reverse DNS lookups.  (Worked
fine before 4.1.2, but I guess there's some new code in there somewhere!)

Paul's getenv() problem was a simple one, he forgot the double-quotes!

[PHP] Turn-key output compression support in 4.1.0

[Keith Waters]

Hi All - I see this feature mentioned in the release notes - It could be a
nice alternative to mod_gzip if it is what I think it is, but there doesnt
seem to be any documentation on it.  Does anybody out there have an idea?

Regards,
Keith
