email headers

[Anon]

I am having trouble getting the subject and from headers to work in my email. I am doing this within a loop and the variables echo correctly in the loop, but they do not work with the mail function.

$mail_to = $address;
$subject = "Survey Passcode";
$body = "This code $password is your pass code to log on to the MSUM survey at http://test.cyberduck.com/survey/login.html";
$from = "[e-mail]";
echo "<br>mail_to $count<BR>";
echo "<br>subject $subject<BR>";
echo "<br>from $from<BR>";
echo "<br>body $body<BR>";

mail("$mail_to","$subject","$body","From: $from\r\n"); 

I checked the forum and archives and tried the different things I found there but still no go.

Thanks,
Kody

You might just want to see if you really need the \r. I use a tool call quikmail for anything more than the most basic email. quikmail is probably here but the writer also quotes http://paulschreiber.com

I have tried the /r alone and hte /n alone and both as well as niether. It still doesn't work right.

It seems to be an issue of sending mail while in a loop. If I send one mail outside of the loop everything works fine. If I try to send even one mail inside the loop, it still doesn't work right. I am using php 4.0.3 and I am afraid to upgrade to 4.0.6 on my Raq4 because of some issues with the upgrade and Mysql not working.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
