I've been getting "data format errors" from Sendmail when trying to send automatic e-mails from my websites recently, and as I can't find a fix for this, I tried some code that someone sent to me which actually worked. It uses popen() and I'd like to know if this method of sending e-mail has any major drawbacks over using the PHP mail() command (which doesn't work for me anymore). Here's the code:
-------- $messg = "Here we put the content of the message."; $sender = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -f $sender"; $body = "This is a test."; $fd = popen($sendmail, "w"); fputs($fd, "To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]"); fputs($fd, "From: \"Sender Name\" <$sender>\r\n"); fputs($fd, "Subject: Finally\r\n"); fputs($fd, "X-Mailer: Mailer Name\r\n\r\n"); fputs($fd, $body); pclose($fd); -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
