ID: 45932 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: danny at mintyslippers dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 SP2 PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely to be the same. Thank you for your interest in PHP. See bug #28038 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-08-27 09:23:32] danny at mintyslippers dot com Description: ------------ Since upgrading to PHP 5.2.6 I can no longer use a full email address. When sending an email to "Joe Blogs <joe@example.com>" It fails with "Invalid e-mail address". This is on a basic mail script. It appears to be because PHP 5.2.6 reparses this as "<Joe Blogs <joe@example.com>>". It tries to help and add more <> brackets than necessary. The only thing changed on my server is PHP. Others have reported the problem on phpfreaks.com. I also tested on a freshly built virtual server with the same results. I also run wordpress which also fails when sending mails because of this. If I write a script to just mailto "joe@example.com" without any <> brackets it works fine but cannot use the name. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php $mailto = "myemail@mydomain.com" ; $subject = "Mintyslippers Feedback" ; $messageproper = "Test"; mail($mailto, $subject, $messageproper, "From: Test User <test@theirdomain.com" ); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Sucessful email Actual result: -------------- Invalid e-mail address ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45932&edit=1
