#48841 [NEW]: A tab inside ob_start using Eclipse IDE causes a glitch when sending HTML email

From: jason dot anderson at abcphones dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: A tab inside ob_start using Eclipse IDE causes a glitch when sending HTML email Description: ------------ Using a text editor (Eclipse) for PHP the attached code will not work properly when a tab is typed inside of the ob_start() section. No errors are reported but when the HTML email is received it is represented as raw text including the header data. Debugging for this in such case can be very very difficult. Reproduce code: --------------- function test_html_email(){ $to = 'jason.anderson@abcphones.com'; $subject = 'My Code'; $random_hash = md5(date('r', time())); $headers = "From: admin@pgxgolf.com\r\nReply-To: admin@pgxgolf.com"; $headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\""; ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering - Notice tabs below ?> --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello World!!! This is simple text email message. --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?> Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <h2>Hello World!</h2> <p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>-- <?php $message = ob_get_clean(); ob_end_flush(); $mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers ); echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed"; } test_html_email(); Expected result: ---------------- Hello World! This is something with HTML formatting. Actual result: -------------- --PHP-alt-527d2deecd08a0f3e80bced5cace8aaa Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello World!!! This is simple text email message. --PHP-alt-527d2deecd08a0f3e80bced5cace8aaa Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <h2>Hello World!</h2> <p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p> --PHP-alt-527d2deecd08a0f3e80bced5cace8aaa-- -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48841&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48841&r=mysqlcfg
