Question

The title basically says it all.

We’ve got a subdomain setup where every single subdomain is the same exact site, but branded for different companies.

There’s a PHP script that sends an email based on certain actions when a form is submitted. Is there anyway (possibly in cPanel) to see a record of those sent emails? Or will I have to code something in to that script?

Answer 1

If mail() encounters an error, this usually logs the error in this location: /var/log/messages (unix path)

Otherwise, logging is as easy as adding few extra lines of code when you are calling the mail() function.

$file = "mail.log"; // log file name
$fh = fopen($file, 'a') or die("can't open file"); // create a handle
fwrite($fh, "to: ".$to.",subject: ".$subject.", body: ".$body."\n"); // log email sent
fclose($fh); // close file
