“Mail option not available!”
Posted on June 25, 2007
I spotted a strange PHP "feature" in the error_log() feature.
PHP checks for sendmail functionality once during ./configure for the mail() and error_log() functions.
Now, you can quite happily pass the sendmail path with the 'additional_parameters' flag to the mail() function, if you added mail support later but error_log() won't take that flag, so it fails with "Mail option not available!"
Rule: Install postfix/qmail/whatever BEFORE installing PHP if you want to use mail as an error_log() option.
