ID: 20056 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: webmaster@a-display.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows XP Pro PHP Version: 4.2.3 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. Sounds like a configuration issue with your Windows' SMTP server.

Outlook express cant't recognise the mime format. The difference between the results of the same script on Linux/4.2.3 and XP/4.3 seem to be "\r\n\r\n" are changed to "\r\n". I'm not sure, but i think the double /r/n/r/n was compulsory in some cases to separate mime blocks Tried "\r\n \r\n" instead, witch is not changed but it does not work. Everything else "\r\n\r\n\n\r" ... is each time changed to "\r\n". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-24 08:23:05] sander@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-10-24 05:23:04] webmaster@a-display.net This bug happends only on 4.2.3/Win XP/IIS, (developpement site) our web site runs the scripts corectly on 4.2.3/Linux/Appache. Whe have a function to send by e-mail a web page from our site, including pictures (mime multipart) if used. All works fine, but on our developpement system (XP/IIS) it seems that only very small message works (2kb ok, 7 kb hangs) To send mime compliant message all text is prepared in a single string $mtext and sent with: $is_sent=mail($to, $subject,"",$mtext); result is a send a report bug window to microsoft after a 5 sec wait. Printing text with flush() during script made us sure the bug is in the mail function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=20056&edit=1
