Bug #1268: The mail() function doesn't correctly escape lines with only a dot in them

From: hrabbach@wupperonline.de Operating system: Linux 2.0.36 PHP version: 3.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Misbehaving function Bug description: The mail() function doesn't correctly escape lines with only a dot in them hmm, short script reproducing the problem? I'd rather just describe what I do: I create a new file from a database, then use this file to create a patch with diff. I have diff output an ed script because the system administrator demands it. Now I want to use mail() to send the script, but as soon as the dot indicating the end of the first change is reached, mail() will finish sending. Apparently the dot is directly passed to the smtpd and thus treated as the "end of message" marker. -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
