mai(), Windows and *nix

I have this funtion I use to send mail:

function send_mail($from_name, $from_mail, $to_name, $to_mail, $subject, $message) {

global $server;

$headers = "From: \"$from_name\" <$from_mail>\n";
$headers .= "To: \"$to_name\" <$to_mail>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: \"$from_name\" <$from_mail>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP4\n";

return(mail($to_mail, $subject, $message, $headers));

}

If I end the $headers with \r\n (like it should, right?) the linux server puts the headers in the message body. with out it (only the \n) it works fine.

The windows server is the other way around. Is there a way to setup the headers so both (Exchange??) and sendmail handles the message the same way?

Thanks

Can you find out what the server is running on?

if(preg_match('/Unix/i',$_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'])) {
    echo "Server is running Linux/Unix";
    // Use \n
}
else {
    echo "Server is running Windows";
    // Use \r\n
}

Probably easier way to do this.

That is the way I have it now. Just thought there must be a common way of making this to work

Why don't oyu jsut use the built in mail function and let PHP do the leg work for you?

That is what I'm doing. See the script:

return(mail($to_mail, $subject, $message, $headers));
