Hi all,
I've been trying to set up a filter so that it gets piped to an email (i've also tried in the past to forward my emails to a script for the same effect, and i've gotten the same results).


Step 1) I've verified that the filter works correctly
Step 2) I created my script
test.php
#!/usr/bin/php (i've also tried /ramdisk/bin/php5
<? echo 'hello world;
Step 3) chmod 755 test.php
Step 4) Send an email
Step 5) Response of email:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

pipe to |/home/xxxxxxxx/public_html/maintenance/test.php
generated by xxxxxxxxx@minyanmaps.com
local delivery failed

I've tried to run the script from the shell (note I don't have shell access, but i'm using a PHP/AJAX combination to "emulate" a shell for non interactive programs) and I get the output

sh: ./test.php: /usr/bin/php

Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Apparently the files were in DOS format.....

I'm having the same problem.
What do you mean "the files were in DOS format" ? That was the problem ? How can you make them in other format ?
