@Matt
I tried this script on a older cent0s box and it failed. I checked my message log and found that php 4 did not have a file_put_contents() function. I found one on the php.net site in the comments for file_put_contents(). Add this to the phpsendmail file under the comment at the top of the script and it should fix your problem.

function file_put_contents($filename, $data) {
$f = @fopen($filename, ‘w’);
if (!$f) {
return false;
} else {
$bytes = fwrite($f, $data);
fclose($f);
return $bytes;
}
}

Tried this and when I changed the php.ini file send mail stopped working. The binary is in the same place and I checked the file permissions. Using FreeBSD.
