Bug description: 'to' parmeter of mail() gets altered when containing trailing
whitespace
Description:
------------
When you hand a variable to the 'to' parameter of the mail() function
which has trailing whitespace the PHP variable get altered!
It seems the mail() function is stripping the trailing whitespace by
putting a null character at the start of it, but this is somehow getting
back into the PHP variable (as if it had been passed by reference?) so the
PHP variable contains a null character where the trailing whitespace
started before the mail() function was called.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// to address with trailing space
$to = '[EMAIL PROTECTED] ';
// Output the ASCII code for the last char
// in the $to address string
print("Last char=".ord($to{strlen($to)-1})."\n");
// Send a message to the email address in $to
mail($to, "Subject", "Message");
// Output the ASCII code for the last char
// in the $to address string
print("Last char=".ord($to{strlen($to)-1})."\n");
?>
Expected result:
----------------
Last char=32
Last char=32
Actual result:
--------------
Last char=32
Last char=0
