Eudora cuts message sent by PHP form

gmichel

Hi!

I have set up a PHP mail script on my site and it works great when I check my messages on the web based server, the whole message is diplayed.

When I check my mail with Eudora, the same message is completely cut and only the first line is displayed... I tried on another computer and it is the same.

I wonder if there is a special code I should add to the script.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thank you for your fast reply, the code is below:

<?php #the HTML form that can be written dynamically
$form ="<form action=\"$PHP_SELF\" method=\"post\">";
$form.="<br>Nom: <input type=\"text\" name=\"username\"";
$form.=" size=\"30\" value=\"$username\" maxlength=\"35\" > <br> <br>";
$form.="Email: <input type=\"text\" name=\"useraddr\"";
$form.=" size=\"30\" value=\"$useraddr\" maxlength=\"35\"> <br> <br>";
$form.="Message:<br><textarea name=\"comments\" ";
$form.="cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\">$comments</textarea>";
$form.="<br><br> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"sent\" ";
$form.="value=\"Envoyez votre Message\"></form>";

#execute this code if the form has been submitted once
if($sent)
{ $valid=true; #set variable default value

#check username field is not blank
if( !$username )
{ $errmsg.="Vous avez oublié d'écrire votre nom...<br>"; $valid = false; }

#check email useraddr field is not blank
if( !$useraddr )
{ $errmsg .="Vous avez oublié d'écrire votre adresse email...<br>"; $valid = false; }
else
{ $useraddr = trim($useraddr);
#patterns for name, domain and top-level domains
$name = "/^{[-!#$%\'*+\.\/0-9=?A-Z}`{|}~]+";
$host = "([-0-9A-Z]+.)+";
$tlds = "([0-9A-Z]){2,4}$/i";
#check validity of email format
if( !preg_match($name."@".$host.$_tlds,$useraddr) )
{$errmsg .="Il y a une erreur dans l'adresse email !<br>"; $valid=false;} }

#check comments field is not blank
if( !$comments )
{ $errmsg.="Vous avez oublié d'écrire votre message...<br>"; $valid = false; } }

#if invalid write the error message/s and the form
if($valid!=true)
{ echo( $errmsg.$form ); }
else #if the form is valid send the email
{ $to = "incentives@reperages-thailand.com";
$re = "Message envoyé par $username de www.incentives.reperages-thailand.com";
$msg = $comments;
$headers = "From: $useraddr \r\n";

if(mail($to,$re,$msg, $headers))
{ echo("Merci de votre message, $username."); } }
?>

try using these headers and see what happens, and please remember to use the PHP coloring so it is easier for use to read

$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $useraddr\r\n";

Thank you, I am impressed...

I am going to try and let you know if it works.

Bye.

Hi!

The additionnal headers worked as I am getting the whole message now in Eudora. The only problem is that the text arrives without any format, the paragaphs are gone...

Thanks for yopur help

you could enclose your $msg variable using a function called
nl2br()

e.g.

$get_format = nl2br($msg);

if your sending the form using html mime then nl2br() will convert every newline into an HTML break.

gmichel

Thank you for the help but it doesn't work.

The message is sent in text format, not in HTML.

Michel

Xoid

ok then try wordwrap()

e.g.

$msg = wordwrap($comment,20,"%0A%0D");

you can play with this function to suite your needs, 20 denotes the numbers of characters per line and "%0A%0D" is a line break in HEX which may possible work.

give it a try!

Hope it helps!

Hi!

This is how I received the message in Eudora after adding the line of code. I tried also to modify it but all it gives me is an error message on the server.

Does anybody have an answer to this problem?

The script is working well except this little annoying problem...

Thanks for your help.
