RE: [PHP-WIN] email() problem

When using IIS it is a good idea to use '\r\n' instead of '\n' when using the mail() function. I've also had problems with the 'From:' header in the past. This syntax seems to work though: $mailheaders = 'From: "A display name" <mail@mysite.com>\r\n' IIS seems to have real problem with that if you leave out the email address (and just have '"Name" <>'). The foramtting above is the one that I worked for me when wrestling with it myself and I haven't had the will to see how much IIS will let you play with it.
