#29646 [Bgs]: 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: Bogus Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.3.4 New Comment: Thanks for providing the additional information that you think it is a bug in QMail. That would be logically consistent with my results in not having the problem with PHP on SendMail. I have also alerted Pair.com about my work-around. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-19 01:18:23] pollita@php.net It's a qmail bug. That MTA attempts to automagically guess newlines and does a bad job of it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-18 23:11:35] iliaa@php.net 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. Until can be verified with latest PHP version, considered bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-08-18 19:44:51] shelby at coolpage dot com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [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(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
