Question

I need to test some script using PHP\'s mail. I\'d like to be able to finally get this working locally. I am using MAMP. Is there a way to do this without installing any thi

Answer 1

I think the best solution is write all messages to file. So you just need to make own sendmail.

1. add to httpd.conf file this strings:

   php_admin_value sendmail_path
   "/Applications/MAMP/somefolder/mysendmail.sh"

2. In the file mysendmail.sh add following:

   #!/bin/bash

   while read line do echo "$line" >> ../mail_log.txt done

   echo "------------- next mail ----------------" >> ../mail_log.txt

   exit 0

3. Do not forget to set privilegies: chmod 755 mysendmail.sh
