Email Issue

[obrienkev]

Hi all,

The below sends if I set $fromaddress = 'From: [e-mail]';

However, for some reason it won't send the way its set below.

Why is this?

I would really appreciate a quick reply.

Thanks.'

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

$mailcontent = 'Name: '.$name."\n"
						 	 .'Email: '.$email."\n"
							 .'Title: '.$title."\n"
							 .$name.'s choice: '.$choice."\n";

$fromaddress = 'From: '.$name.'@mysite.ie';

$mailcontent = Stripslashes($mailcontent);
$fromaddress = Stripslashes($fromaddress);


echo '<p>Thank You. Your submission has been sent.</p>';
mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $fromaddress);

Hello,

It looks like it should work, Kev. Hmmmm. I would try this:

<?php
// set email headers
$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers = 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $name . '@mysite.ie>' ."\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; 


// define content, from, subject here...

if(mail($toaddress, $subject, $mailcontent, $headers)){
	echo '<p>Thank You. Your submission has been sent.</p>';
} 
?>

Hey Rodney. Doesn't send.

$to = "[e-mail]";
$sub = "Subjects are over-rated.";
$msg = "Hello there!\n\nHow are you today?\n\nI can't believe you thought I really cared!";
$from = "FROM: Troy Aikman <[e-mail]>";
$from .= "\r\nContent-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

if(mail($to, $sub, $msg, $from))
  echo 'You did it!';
else
  echo 'I can\'t do it!';

sorry: My bad

Yeah, woops. I mixed up the headers' sequence. From should be first and at the end of the line, use the "\r\n" escape sequence. Then concatenate on the Content type.

It might be that your code is missing a return carriage after your "from".

$headers .= 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $name . '@mysite.ie>' ."\r\n";

Since there will be more headers added by the server, maybe the omission of the return carriage jacked it up ...

just a though
