We read text from the DB (MySQL 5 using php my admin)and it echoed out fine, however during the mail, the last bit of text got cut. After putting a \n in to the message after each entry and broke up the line it worked fine. Reproduce code: --------------- $query="SELECT * FROM opendoor_articles WHERE issue_id='$issueID'"; $result=mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { $message.="<strong>$row[title]</strong>"; $paragraphs=explode('</p>',$row['body']); $message.=$paragraphs[0]; // this is what we added as the 'fix' $message.="\n\n"; } $to="$email"; $from="someone@somewhere.com"; $subject="OpenDoor $issueName"; $headers = "From: $from\r\n" . 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n" . "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); } Expected result: ---------------- should have echoed out the message with the code recieved from database. Actual result: -------------- shows the code up to 1022 characters then dies and goes to the next line. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39066&edit=1
