#9859 [Com]: mail() doesn't send cc or bcc as in the manual instructions

ID: 9859 Comment by: admin at aesirnetworks dot com Reported By: joel at intwebservices dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows NT 4.0 PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 New Comment: <?php print mail('admin@aesirnetworks.com', 'Subject', 'Your message here.', "To: The Receiver <admin@aesirnetworks.com>\n" . "From: The Sender <admin@aesirnetworks.com>\n" . "Cc: Interested <mike@aesirinteractive.com>\r\n" . "X-Mailer: PHP 4.x"); ?> Fails to send with any combination of \r\n or \n, and CC, cC,Cc, and etc. Basically we are are unable to send with CC at all.

Is it necessary for the win32 version of the mail() function to require that you use \r\n? If it is, I can add this information to the mail function docs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-03-20 02:42:22] joel at intwebservices dot com script example: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?php $returnvar="false"; $mailto="you@yourdomain.com"; $mailsubject="cc test"; $mailmessage="message content"; $mailHeader="cc:otheraddress@yourdomain.com\r\n"; $returnvar=mail($mailto,$mailsubject,$mailmessage,$mailHeader); ?> <html> <body> the mail was sent? <?php echo "<br>returnvar= $returnvar<br>"; ?> </body> </html> --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The above does not send the carbon copy. The pdf manual says: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $headers .= "cc:birthdayarchive@php.net\n"; // CC to $headers .= "bcc:birthdaycheck@php.net, birthdaygifts@php.net\n"; // BCCs to /* and now mail it */ mail($recipient, $subject, $message, $headers); ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- That does not work since Win32 sendmail.c looks for case sensitve "Cc:" sendmail.c also does not look for "bcc:" Also you must have "\r\n" not just "\n". I think the problem is here in win32 sendmail.c : if (headers && (pos1 = strstr(headers, "Cc:"))) { pos2 = strstr(pos1, "\r\n"); tempMailTo = estrndup(pos1, pos2-pos1); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=9859&edit=1
