#1352 [Bgs]: $crlf in Mail_Mime example should be "\n"

Edit report at: http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=1352&edit=1 ID: 1352 Updated by: pear.neufeind@speedpartner.de Reported By: mhaertl at emiga dot de Status: Bogus Package: Documentation Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: danielc New Comment: I've used the standard-setting of \r\n for quite a while myself, during development on a project. And I knew it was according to the RFC (looked that up). But a customer using, if I remember correctly, Outlook Express said that he had problems that the mail was not interpreted correctly. Changing the linebreaks to \n helped in that case. Seems like some Micros*ft-tools are not fully RFC-compliant? But from the practical point of view, may it be a good idea to at least mention to try "\n" if you're having problems with certain Outlook-versions? Even works with just \n on all other mail-clients I was able to test so far. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-21 09:05:09] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Regarding http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail-mime.example.php you are saying it contains "\n\r". It contains "\r\n". This has been the case since the files were uploaded in September 2002. "\r\n" (aka CRLF) is the correct line separator for mail as per RFC 2822 (ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc2822.txt). If you are having problems with your programs, please ask for help on the pear-general mailing list. Subscribe at http://pear.php.net/support.php. If people there indicate there really is a bug with Mail_MIME, then open a new bug report for the Mail_MIME package directly rather than the documentation. Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-21 04:11:15] mike@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. Hi, it will show up on Sunday. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-21 04:03:57] mhaertl at emiga dot de Sorry, but it's still not fixed in the online docs. Have a look: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail-mime.example.php There's still $crlf="\n\r"; ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-20 10:50:27] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com I went to go fix this and found that the change had already been made. Thanks for your report. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-05-06 05:52:19] mhaertl at emiga dot de Description: ------------ In the Mail_Mime Example you use $crlf = "\n\r"; The Documentation for Mail_Mime::Mail_Mime() says: 'Normaly, it is not necessary to set the $crlf parameter. But, if you want to send the generated MIME message using Mail then you have to set $crlf to "\n".' Since i used the example code i got a lot of trouble with users receiving illegible MIME mails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=1352&edit=1
