popen problem

[waynew]

I'm using PHPMailer on various websites. Recently, the host decided to restrict a number of functions. popen() was one of them. Problem is, PHPMailer uses popen in one of its class functions:

 

 

function SendmailSend($header, $body) {
        if ($this->Sender != "")
            $sendmail = sprintf("%s -oi -f %s -t", $this->Sendmail, $this->Sender);
        else
            $sendmail = sprintf("%s -oi -t", $this->Sendmail);


        if(!@$mail = popen($sendmail, "w"))
        {
            $this->SetError($this->Lang("execute") . $this->Sendmail);
            return false;
        }


        fputs($mail, $header);
        fputs($mail, $body);
        
        $result = pclose($mail) >> 8 & 0xFF;
        if($result != 0)
        {
            $this->SetError($this->Lang("execute") . $this->Sendmail);
            return false;
        }


        return true;
    }

 

 

Is there some sort of alternative way to restructure this function?

how about changing it to fopen()?
