#22317 [Opn-Fbk]: mail() has address parsing problems
ID: 22317 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: mark at virtualcreations dot com dot au -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Mail related Operating System: Win32 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: so your SMTP server doesn't accept this syntax. What kind of SMTP server is that? Is there any way you can capture what php is sending out to the server? Previous Comments: [2003-02-20 02:22:49] mark at virtualcreations dot com dot au Thanks for the suggestion. I put the error reporting code in, and now have more information to share: When I tried: mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1) I got the response: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 unacceptable characters in local-part in index.php on line 5 I think the unacceptable characters refers to the space after the comma and before the [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Then I tried: mail(Fred [EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1) and got the response: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 illegal address syntax in index.php on line 5 But this same line of code works fine in Linux, and used to work fine in Win32 4.2.3 Mark. [2003-02-20 01:39:10] [EMAIL PROTECTED] These work just fine for me. Do you get any error messages? (put error_reporting(E_ALL); into your script) [2003-02-20 00:48:58] mark at virtualcreations dot com dot au Thanks for the reply, but that made no difference whatsoever. (installed the Win32 version, and restarted Apache. It definitely installed correctly because phpinfo() showed version 4.3.2-dev) [2003-02-20 00:26:20] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip [2003-02-20 00:07:49] mark at virtualcreations dot com dot au This just started happening with 4.3.0. Before that it was all fine. The problem only exists on Win32 - it works perfectly on Linux. Using the example from the manual, this works fine: mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1); But this returns FALSE and the message is not sent: mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1); However, THIS is fine (note the missing space): mail([EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1); Also, I have yet to figure out a way to send a message where the recipient's NAME is also specified. For example, this fails: mail(Fred [EMAIL PROTECTED], My Subject, Line 1); Finally, when I use a BCC option, it is also dependent upon the placement of a space. For example, if I include a line that reads: $headers .= Bcc:[EMAIL PROTECTED]; it works as expected, but: $headers .= Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; fails. It doesn't make any difference if a \r\n is added to the end of the line. I repeat, all the problems above are NOT problems in Linux.
