#45305 [Opn]: From Header Not Parsed Correctly

ID: 45305 User updated by: php at info-svc dot com Reported By: php at info-svc dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Notice the SMTP error can never be reproduced if the following statement comes before mail() ini_set('sendmail_from', ini_get('sendmail_from')); This is a good workaround until the bug is fixed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-19 00:42:39] php at info-svc dot com Description: ------------ PHP fails to parse the From: header in mail()'s additional_headers parameter when all of the following conditions exist: * Header is in the form of From: Name <address> * Script does not call ini_set('sendmail_from') * php.ini does not configure sendmail_from As the test server is using the localhost smtp service I can't see the smtp session using Network Monitor. The error returned by PHP is shown below. If there is a way for me to show you the bad MAIL TO command just let me know how. Reproduce code: --------------- ini_set('display_errors', TRUE); echo 'Sending message 1<br />'; mail('nospam@info-svc.com', 'Test Message1', 'Does the From header work at all?', 'From: miqrogroove@hotmail.com'); echo 'Sending message 2<br />'; mail('nospam@info-svc.com', 'Test Message2', 'Does the From header work at all?', 'From: Robert Chapin <miqrogroove@hotmail.com>'); ini_set('sendmail_from', NULL); echo 'Sending message 3<br />'; mail('nospam@info-svc.com', 'Test Message3', 'Does the From header work at all?', 'From: miqrogroove@hotmail.com'); echo 'Sending message 4<br />'; mail('nospam@info-svc.com', 'Test Message4', 'Does the From header work at all?', 'From: Robert Chapin <miqrogroove@hotmail.com>'); Expected result: ---------------- Sending message 1 Sending message 2 Sending message 3 Sending message 4 Actual result: -------------- Sending message 1 Sending message 2 Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 5.5.4 Invalid Address in test.php on line 5 Sending message 3 Sending message 4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45305&edit=1
