The php function error_log() let you send logs to email setting the second param to 1. I do that, but i want to dispay message in html. The code looks like this:
error_log($this->_errorMsg, 1, ADMIN_MAIL, "Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf8\r\nFrom: ".MAIL_ERR_FROM."\r\nTo: ".ADMIN_MAIL);
Probably i mess something declaring the content type, because i get msg in plain text:
<h1>Website Error</h1>
<b>ERRNO:</b><font color='red'>1</font>
...
You should read the comments in the PHP reference for error_log, one of the first ones contains an example :
error_log("<html><h2>stuff</h2></html>",1,"[email protected]","subject :lunch\nContent-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1");
Try to set up your headers like so:
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
note the content-type and mime headers at the end.
Most likely it does work out of the box already, there is no need to mess with the .ini file.
What's not clear is where is sent this email, in Linux out of the box it's in the built-in mail tool.
This is to be reserved for highly important things only, such as forgery attempts.
<?php error_log('CSRF token validation failed for user: ' . ($_SESSION['username'] . ', Consider a BAN', 1, "[email protected]");
So, after login trough SSH, you'll see:
You have a new mail.
Or type in mail in a terminal.
Postfix will say that the email could not be delivered, but that's fine, as you'll get the mail content.
Thus, to go further and actually send that mail, it's about POSTFIX and SMTP configuration, and not PHP.
