Form Sending Problem

[jeffgman]

I have a form on my website for user input. The form is sent using the
following php script:

<?
$header="From: $name <$email>";
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key => $value)
{
if($key == "recipient")
{
$recipient = $value;
}elseif($key == "subject")
{
$subject = $value;
}elseif($key == "redirect")
{
$redirect = $value;
}elseif($key == "required")
{
$required = $value;
}else
{
$message .= "$key: $value\n";
}
}
if($required)
{
$required=split(",",$required);
foreach($required as $value)
{
if($$value=="")
{
echo "You must enter the required
information!<P>";
echo "Please go back and fill out the form.<BR>";
$goback=1;
}
}
}
if(!$goback)
{
$subject = stripslashes($subject);
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$header);
if($redirect)
{
header ("Location: $redirect");
}
}
?>

But, for some reason, the e-mails I am getting now look like this:

Return-Path: <nobody@>
Received: from xxxxxxxxx () by xxxxx with
SMTP (Eudora Internet Mail Server 3.2b5) for <[e-mail]>;
Wed, 12 Feb 2003 07:15:04 -0800
Received: (nobody@localhost) by xxxxxx (8.9.3) id HAA07078
sender nobody; Wed, 12 Feb 2003 07:14:56 -0800

Message-Id: <200302121514.HAA07078@xxxxx>

Subject: Turner's Response Form

city: xxx

fax: N/A
webaddress: [url]http://[/url]
email: xxxx

Send: Send Message

You will notice there is no space after the From and where the message
body starts. Because of that my mail client will not display the message.
This script used to work with no problems. The only thing that has
changed is my hosting provider installed PHP 4.3.0. Would that make a
difference? Or do I need to look elsewhere?

Thanks,

line 2:

$header="From: $name <$email>";

if the $name is coming from the form (which probably is) then change it to this:

$header="From: ".$_POST["name"]. "<$email>";

No, that was not the problem. The problem I am having, and maybe I did not do a good job of explaining it is, the e-mail which is created, does not put a blank line between the headers and the body message. This blank line is required for the mail client to know when the headers stop and the body message begins. This was working fine before, but something must have changed. All I know is that my provider did change PHP to 4.3.0 about a week ago. But, he did put register_globals to off because of some other problems I was having. So, my old scripts should work with no problems. How can I put that blank line between the last header line and the first message body line?

Thanks,

Well, I think I might have fixed it. On the mail line I now have this:

mail($recipient,$subject,"\n".$message,$header);

I added the "\n" and it appears to have fixed it. Why would it have worked before without it and now it no longer worked?

Thanks,
Jeff
