Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=13044&edit=1 ID: 13044 Comment by: kumarsher45 at gmail dot com Reported by: michalprv at poland dot com Summary: unexpected characters in mail Status: No Feedback Type: Bug Package: Mail related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 4.0.6 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks! :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-02-29 05:02:48] brendan at brendanenglish dot com Try using 'wordwrap' when sending the message, this should break up the email and fix the issue: @mail($to, $subject, wordwrap($message), $headers); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-15 13:35:24] indeyets at gmail dot com This is a standard limit of sendmail/smtp. See here for details: http://safari.oreilly.com/1565928393/ch20-77125 Solution is to use base64-encoding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-04-07 20:45:26] ryan dot morrow at gmail dot com I was having a similar problem sending the Content-Type: text/html through the php mail() function. Extra spaces were being inserted almost randomly. If I added text, the space would move down the number of spaces I added. I was pulling the HTML from a database, and everything was inserted on a single line. Inserting newlines corrected the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-18 11:28:31] michael dot reiter at univr dot it I had several links in my HTML email. The effect described above could be resolved by adding the target attribute to the link. Note that exactly the same HTML would be correct and would bring no error within browsers. This effect only applies to HTML emails sent with the PHP mail() function. <a href="url">text</a> in some emails causes the characters <p> to be inserted at the end of paragraphs or spaces to be inserted within words (splitting them up) in the subsequent html <a href="url" target="_self">text</a> (also target="_blank" or whatever) does not bring this effect ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-03-18 09:04:57] michael dot reiter at univr dot it I have this problem with PHP 5.2.5. Seems that when the message exceeds a certain length it adds strange characters (</p> in the message, splits a word with a space character, ...) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
