[RESOLVED] Gmail problem?

wmhop

The following email code sends to my yahoo account just fine, it is displayed as a properly formatted message. But when I send it to my gmail account the actual html code is displayed instead of a formatted message. Any help in resolving this would be appreciated. Thanks.

<?php
	$send_notice_to="me@gmail.com";
	$head_notice  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
	$head_notice .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
	$head_notice .= 'From: [email]contact@mailplace.com[/email]. "\r\n" .
	  'Reply-To: [email]contact@mailplace.com[/email]. "\r\n" .
	  'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
	$message_notice = 
	'
	<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
	"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
	<html>
	<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
	<title>Title</title>
	</head>
	<p>Message Here</p>
	</body>
	</html>
	';
	mail($send_notice_to,'My Subject', $message_notice, $head_notice);
?>

What version of PHP? I happened to use a very similar process to send an email to my Gmail account the other day while testing, and it received my HTML email just fine. 😕

5.05

You mention that you are using a very similar process. How different is your script. I'm wondering if those differences could account for the reason mine is behaving badly. It's weird to me that it looks fine in Yahoo but not Gmail.

Thanks

I did notice that other html emails from other companies like Apple come across formatted properly. But for some reason mine isn't.

I used more of a this kind of thing:

<?php 
    $send_notice_to="me@gmail.com"; 
    $head_notice .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; 
    $message_notice = '<p>Message Here</p>'; 
    mail($send_notice_to,'My Subject', $message_notice, $head_notice); 
?>

That seemed to work fine for me... although it's not as complete. 🙁

Go back to your first post and look at the script. Specifically, look at the color-coding. Notice anything wrong? I sure do.

    $head_notice .= 'From: contact@mailplace.com. "\r\n" .

Your error is in the above line of code.

Thanks for noticing that, I changed the email address before posting it here and mistakenly left off the single quote. However the problem is still the same.

Any other suggestions?

The solution was a lot simpler than I thought. I changed "r\n" to just "\n". And that solved the problem. It now sends to yahoo, gmail and my work email properly.

Thanks for the suggestions.
