You might not think that way if you had been developing in M$
QuickBASIC for the Mac. One day M$ just said "Nope, the line isn't
making the money we want, so we're dropping it." There were a lot of
developers who were left hanging -- I wouldn't want to be there again.

If at all possible, I choose any alternative over what M$ provides.

Ditto to what Tedd just wrote - a major client has a project stranded
forever in VB6 because MSFT broke the model with VB.NET. There are
constructs and structures which were perfectly legitimate when it was first
conceived, when VB4 was the current version.

So - when I was asked to write a little app to maintain some subscriber
billing info and create some reports on the desktop side, which could have
been done in Excel, I opted for PHP, PHP-GTK and MySQL. There was a
learning curve with PHP-GTK's layout (Glade helped a lot!!) but this will
continue to work, Windows or Linux, and should run on later Macs.

Great feeling!

It wasn't a joke.

M$ has one thing on their mind, and that is $.

If their bottom line isn't improved by whatever they produce, then
they drop it. If it hurts thousands of developers who supported their
product in process, then that's to be expected -- after all it's M$

That reminds me of story about a young girl who in the middle of
winter came across a poisonous snake laying in the snow. She picked
up the snake and took it in doors and placed it by the fire and gave
it warm food and drink and saved the snake's life. The snake, after
being revived, bit her. She proclaimed "Why did you do that? I saved
your life and now because you bit me, I'll die." The snake replied "I
don't understand your confusion, you knew I was a snake when you
found me."

Whenever possible, I now take the fork in the road not traveled by M$.

I'm having a problem setting the return-path using the mail function. I seem to be able to modify any of the other header information I want, but not this one item.

Here's my code:
$headers = "Return-Path: Test <testtest.com>\r\n" .
   "From: Test <testtest.com>\r\n" .
   "Reply-To: Test <testtest.com>\r\n";

$sub="Test sub";
$msg="Test msg";

$to="subdrewpydraws.com";

mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers, '-f testtest.com');

And here's the headers that come in:
Return-path: <nobodyamsterdam.servershost.net>
Envelope-to: subdrewpydraws.com
Delivery-date: Sun, 02 Apr 2006 15:19:45 -0500
Received: from nobody by amsterdam.servershost.net with local (Exim 4.52)

To: subdrewpydraws.com
Subject: Test sub
X-PHP-Script: www.drewpydraws.com/crap.php for ip address
From: Test <testtest.com>
Reply-To: Test <testtest.com>
Message-Id: <E1FQ933-00082V-8qamsterdam.servershost.net>
Date: Sun, 02 Apr 2006 15:19:45 -0500
X-Antivirus: AVG for E-mail 7.1.385 [268.3.4/299]
Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain

The "From" and "Reply-To" get set correctly so it works fine on e-mail clients, but some of the messages will be delievered to cell phones that display the return-path instead of from and reply-to.

Any thoughts on how I would go about setting the value for Return-Path?

No space between -f and the email.

I assume your host doesn't have safe-mode on? (You can't use this method
if so).

Check a phpinfo page and look for:

sendmail_from

If that's set, this way won't do it either, you'll need to do:

$orig_sendmail_from = ini_get('sendmail_from');

// this should match what phpinfo tells you but replace the email. so
might be '-f'.$return_path
ini_set('sendmail_from', $return_path);

mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);

and leave off the last parameter.
