#14954 [Com]: Warning: Server Error with mail() function

ID: 14954 Comment by: cleilton at secrel dot net dot br Reported By: jberall at yahoo dot com Status: No Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.1.0 New Comment: I have the same problem using php 4.2, windows 2000 server iis5. I resolve the problem using \r\n not \n for the break line. Example: mail("cleilton_ce@hotmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); This code results in a server error Correct code: $email = mail("cleilton_ce@hotmail.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3"); If ($email){ echo "E-mail was sent!"; } :-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-03 01:00:08] php-bugs at lists dot php dot net No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is being suspended automatically.

Every so often it does send mail. I tried putting the php.ini in the c:\php\php.ini instead of the c:\winnt\php.ini but that didn't help. I've been at it a while and I've found no solutions on the web yet, while other people have encountered the same issue. PHP.INI has a valid SMTP = mail.pnang.com and sendmail_from = jberall@yahoo.com. The code mail("jberall@yahoo.com", "My Subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); And the birthday one from the manual. Again the frustrating part is it worked last night. My outlook works perfectly with the same SMTP.
