ID: 10182 Updated by: mfischer@php.net -Summary: problem with the "To" field Reported By: apere@agilitime.com -Status: Assigned +Status: Open Bug Type: Mail related -Operating System: Windows 98 - 2 +Operating System: Any Windows -PHP Version: 4.0.4pl1 +PHP Version: CVS Assigned To: mfischer New Comment: Updated summary, Version, Status, OS Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-22 18:47:06] hholzgra@php.net windows mail code *badly* needs a rewirte ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-04-05 09:46:21] apere@agilitime.com Ok, I have found several notes telling that the following syntax works : $to = "\"Arnaud PERE\" <apere@agilitime.com>"; mail ($to,"subject","message"); But when I try this, my SMTP server says : (bad host/domain syntax: "agilitime.com>") see the trailing ">"... Instead, I tried the following syntax which appeared to work : $to = "apere@agilitime.com (Arnaud PERE)"; mail ($to,"subject","message"); This problem does not appear on the Unix version of PHP4.04pl1, but only on the windows version. Did I do something wrong ? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=10182&edit=1
