note 75344 added to function.mail

Re: "Second, the custom headers like From:, Cc:, Bcc: and Date: are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP. As such, the to parameter should not be an address in the form of "Something <someone@example.com>". The mail command may not parse this properly while talking with the MTA." SERVER: PHP 5.0.4 Fedora Core 4 Apache 2.0 Sendmail 8.13.7 SMTP: localhost CLIENT: Windows 98SE Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.3 Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800.1106 COMMAND: mail("User Name <username@email.com>","Subject Here",$msg,"From: us@mysite.com"); Using Firefox, no problems with the above command. Using MSIE, won't send mail "to" address formatted as above. COMMAND 2: mail("username@email.com","Subject Here",$msg,"From: us@mysite.com"); Works fine from both clients. I mention this because it appears there is some interaction between the client and MTA that is unaccounted for in the above quote from this doc page. ---- Server IP: 69.39.81.135 Probable Submitter: 206.135.122.57 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75344 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75344 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75344 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
