#29646 [Fbk->Opn]: mail() inserts change CRLF ("\r\n") to CRCRLF ("\r\r\n") for some extra headers

ID: 29646 User updated by: shelby at coolpage dot com Reported By: shelby at coolpage dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: No I will not do your work for you! Your general assumption that it was fixed without specific knowledge it was fixed is not enough to make me go through the hassle. In short I doubt your assertion it is fixed, because: 1. You have not provided specific knowledge that it was fixed. It seems you are just hoping it was, and want me to go through hassle to prove it. You prove it. It is not my bug. It is YOUR bug. 2. You closed this other similar bug report in Feb. 2003: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22262 But I am using a version from Nov. 2003: coolpage@qs662% php -v PHP 4.3.4 (cli) (built: Nov 4 2003 16:10:03) Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies And this bug has been around since at least 2002 and has been ignored. No related bug report has been marked as fixed. They were both closed because the people who made the bug reports are not going to test it for you: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=22262 http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=15841 You method of closing bug reports because reporters are not willing to retest every time you decide to put a new version # on PHP is ridiculous. Have it your way...fix it or do not fix it... closing this bug report does not mean it is fixed. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 08:11:30] derick@php.net You're using a very old PHP version (4.3.4), I am very sure it was fixed since. So try that snapshot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:58:42] shelby at coolpage dot com Also telling us to try the latest snapshot is useless unless you tell us what is the correct use of the mail() function on Qmail. Please see my original post and please answer the question as to what is the correct documented use. In the meantime, I have provided a documented use in my comments on this bug which works and which I am suggesting that others link to, as a replacement for the document for PHP mail(). Hopefully that will generate enough pressure to finally fix this bug and also help people work around it in meantime! Correction: in previous post for work around, I said "if another header follows". I believe I insert the "\r\n" and "\n", even after the last header input to mail(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:52:38] shelby at coolpage dot com Thanks, but has the latest snapshot been specifically edited to fix this specific problem? Because this problem as been around for years, and so only a specific fix is worth my time. Also I have no way to test the latest snapshot until my host Pair.com upgrades. I alerted Pair.com to this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:49:37] shelby at coolpage dot com I verified that the work around this bug for my configuration (as previously mentioned) is to use "\r\n" only after the "From:", "Reply-To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" headers, if there is another header which follows, and to use only "\n" after other extra headers, if another header follows. Note in my use, I only tried placing the "From:", "Reply-To:", "Cc:", and "Bcc:" headers first, and any extra headers (such as "Date:", "Mime-Versions:", etc) after. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-17 00:40:32] iliaa@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
