Ye've a bug with registration!

Failed sending email :: PHP ::

DEBUG MODE

Line : 236
File : emailer.php
Shown immediately after successful registration on the forums. NOT after I activated my account, just after I registered. The email sent fine, though.

Thanks for that... I wonder what's caused that :?

Will look into it asap.

Error happened to me

Post by markfm »

Saw the same error too when I just registered moments ago. However I did receive the email and confirmed my registration.

At least this problem wasn't as fatal as the error I experienced a few days ago. You guys fixed something. Check the "Memberlist" and notice that no one joined between 23 and 30 December. At least we can register now.

I would have alerted someone to this problem days ago, but there is no "Contact us" link or any moderator contact info available to non members.

Unfortunately, it appears we are unable to fix the issue.

It appears the mail server is overloaded. Why, I have no idea.

As far as I know IMHosted have changed some stuff with the MX servers because we saw issues with mails being rejected as spam due to a lack of rDNS not long back.

This can perhaps be "patched up" either way :)

The mails are sending, but the error is showing anyway?

No way to supress the error?

So I think we should let the users know and let this sit for a while to see if it still happens for folks.
FYI, this situation is currently under review with our host.

For reference, here is a screenshot.

I don't understand why this can't be suppressed. I mean, prepending @'s to functions, commenting out echo's, or, if absolutely necessary, using output buffering and throwing away the results should fix it temporarily. It's not like the mails aren't being sent.

It can't be surpressed with error suppression since phpBB manually throws it with it's own error system, but it can be commented out. I'll see what we can do :)

This should no longer be happening. Fingers crossed :)
