RE: [PHP] Why do I keep getting a 501 mail error?

Are you getting this error on the Linux or the Windows box? Correct me if i'm wrong but the mailserver directive in php.ini is only valid for with PHP on the Windows platform? /Nicke -----Original Message----- From: Curt Zirzow [mailto:php-general@zirzow.dyndns.org] Sent: den 6 augusti 2004 05:50 To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Why do I keep getting a 501 mail error? * Thus wrote Brian Dunning: > Developing on a Windows server to be deployed on Linux.

Here's my code: > > $mail_from = 'My Name <name@domain.com>'; > $mail_server = 'mail.servername.com'; // This is hosted externally > ini_set("SMTP", $mail_server); > ini_set("sendmail_from", $mail_from); > $mail_to = "$first_name $last_name <$email>"; I know this isn't going to help your problem but... you should quote this mail_to: $mail_to = '"' . str_replace($first_name, '"', '\"') . ' ' . str_replace($last_name, '"', '\"') . '" ' . <$email>"; It will prevent 'To' injection: $last_name = "<email1@anotherplace>,<email-infinity@enless.com>,"; without it: To: <email1@anotherplace>,<email-infinity@enless.com>,<real@address.com> with quoted: To: "<email1@anotherplace>,<email-infinity@enless.com>," <real@address.com> With the latter only sending one email verses however many one person whishes.
