What terms did you try when SEARCHING for a solution:
PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing

Write your message below:
Hoster is using new servers and the location of the guestbook has changed so at first it didn't work anymore.
The location of the entries.txt is now updated and it's working again, but when I post a new message I get a blank page with HTTP 500 error.
I have to use the backbutton of my browser to see the messages.

The hoster get the following message:
PHP Warning: mail() [function.mail]: "sendmail_from" not set in php.ini or custom "From:" header missing in \\data\files\root\localuser\allezma\gbook15\gbook.php on line 745

The only lines that have been changed is the location in settings.php.

Hello Jomar,

Try opening the gbook.php file in an editor.
Find line (line 760)

Code: Select all

mail("$settings[admin_email]","Someone has just signed your guestbook",$message);

and change it to

Code: Select all

mail("$settings[admin_email]","Someone has just signed your guestbook",$message,"From: $name <$email>\r\n");

Try if that helps.

Groeten,

I am having the same problem, but I am using version 1.7 and that line is not on line 760 or anywhere else.

Any help?

Hello jpprice47,

In version 1.7, there are two places in which the e-mail addres is used, here were go:

Line 989

Code: Select all

mail($settings['admin_email'],$lang['t41'],$message,"Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);

replace it with

Code: Select all

mail($settings['admin_email'],$lang['t41'],$message,"From: $name <$email>\nReply-to: $email\nReturn-path: $email\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);

Line 953

Code: Select all

mail($settings['admin_email'],$lang['t41'],$message,"Content-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);

replace it with

Code: Select all

mail($settings['admin_email'],$lang['t41'],$message,"From: $name <$email>\nReply-to: $email\nReturn-path: $email\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);

There is actually a third on line 489

Code: Select all

mail($email,$lang['t80'],$message,"From: $settings[website_title] <$settings[admin_email]>\nReply-to: $settings[admin_email]\nReturn-path: $settings[admin_email]\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=".$lang['enc']);

But this one does not need replacement.
