I'm not sure what's going on with your program, exactly. Here's what I
tried:
>>start script<<
<?php
foreach($_REQUEST as $key => $val) {
$$key = $val; // do not know what this is supposed to do here...
$email_body .= wordwrap("KEY: " . $key . "\n",70,"\n");
$email_body .= wordwrap("VAL: " . $val . "\n",70,"\n");
$email_body .= "\n";
}
print_r($email_body);
mail( 'tamara@localhost' , "Test Pipe To Program" , $email_body );
>>end script<<
(Note: according to http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php:
"Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be
larger than 70 characters."
Which is why I added the wordwrap on each line and terminated the
lines with "\n" instead of "\r\n".)
Calling the script, print_r showed the string as expected:
>>start output<<
tamara@caesar:~/$ curl 'http://localhost/~tamara/testmail.php?a=1&b=2&c=3'
KEY: a
VAL: 1
KEY: b
VAL: 2
KEY: c
VAL: 3
>>end output<<
And the email message showed up in my inbox:
tamara@caesar:~/$ from
<www-data@caesar> Test Pipe To Program
And the contents of the email are:
>>start email<<
