For a Windows server, how does one configure MediaWiki's PHP to use its own PHP.INI file instead of the server's? The sources of the question is how to allow MediaWiki to send emails from an address other than than the server administrator's address configured in its own PHP.INI file?
Here is the message the server administrator sent me:
"As for the email issue - I've not worked that out just yet. So far PHP scripts can compose and send emails but they are mailed with the administrator's address as this is hardcoded in the INI - there is however a way to set the "email from" smtp header on a per email basis using the mail command within PHP - it all depends on how the script is written. If the script does not take advantage of this, emails will come from postmaster@email-host.XXXXXXXXX.com mailto:postmaster@email-host.compcoind.com. I've not worked out how to let individual sites set their own PHP.INI file just yet. It may not be possible with the setup we have and may prove to be a security risk in the long run." _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list MediaWiki-l@lists.wikimedia.org http://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
