#22962 [Csd]: mail-function uses only \n to seperate fields To & Subject

ID: 22962 Updated by: pollita@php.net Reported By: uroeder at gmx dot net Status: Closed Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Linux PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: What edink's last comment didn't mention is that I reverted mail() back to its original behavior. No need to worry about comming up with examples. 4.3.2's final release will do just what you want. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-11 10:40:15] om at insign dot ch pollita: I can't post any example yet, but I'm now sure there is a real problem: an "original" php-4.3.2rc2 is broken, while a php-4.3.2rc2 compiled with the mail.c from 4.3.1 is working fine. The used class to send the mails is an old version (1.3.4) of the HTML Mime mail by Richard Heyes (http://www.phpguru.org/mime.mail.html). We'll try if it works better with the current version, but in every case, there _is_ a problem with the current mail.c. regards, Olivier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-07 07:15:34] edink@php.net This bugfix is wrong. \r\n is used in headers in SMTP communication which mail() uses on Windows. Since Unix version of mail() pipes output to mta direcly \r\n may confuse it and as we have seen from several reports it breaks mail() functionality. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-06 18:59:30] pollita@php.net Pasting some headers (or entire message content) would be a big plus. The fix applied here should not adversely affect Outlook, but it's worth some investigation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-06 16:28:01] om at insign dot ch Hi, can it be that the bug you fixed last month ( http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22962 ) broke something in the mail() command ? We have a kind of CMS (www.icms.ch) with a mailclass which sends mails with attachments: with php 4.3.1 it works fine, with 4.3.2rc2 it "looks" fine too, but outlook users can't read the mail anymore: pretty wired... (no changes others than php version) I'll make some more tries tomorrow, but maybe you will have an idea before :) Regards from Switzerland, Olivier ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-04-01 00:28:07] pollita@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. Fixed (partially) in CVS. The \n characters surrounding the message body have been left as \n only while \n characters in headers have been expanded to \r\n. This is because of tests with multiple MTAs showing inconsistent behavior which is best left as is. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
