Problems sending mail

[Anon]

Hi there,

I am using a PHP3 program to send emails to a list read from a file on the serve.

I use the mail function in the following way:

mail($to, "subject", "message", "From:[e-mail]");

The $to variable is read from the file (the fuction is in the loop)

The mail is sent alright but -

When I view the meassage on the mail client the subject does not apear on the subject line (It does appear on the body however) and the sender is not what I entred but the name of my company (again my address does appear in the body as "reply to".

It is intresting that when I use the same function and the address is entred manually through an HTML form it is working OK.

Thank you very much for your help

maybe u can check if u have ' or " in the strings.......

can you post the function that generates the $to field.

It looks like the problem might be in the generation of this variable.

I am having the exact same problem. When I hardcode the "To:" variable, everything works. When I try to grab it from a mailing list file, things go goofy.

Would someone mind checking out my code?

thanks!

<?
$DataFile = "/usr/home/jlowe/www/htdocs/testing/emaildata.txt";

//$Recipient = "[e-mail]";
$Sender = stripslashes($FromEmail);
$Message = stripslashes($Message);
$Priority = stripslashes ($Priority);
$Subject = stripslashes($Subject);

/ To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. /
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

/ additional headers /
$headers .= "From: $Sender\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: $Sender\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "X-Priority: $Priority\n"; // Urgent message!
$headers .= "Return-Path: $Sender\n"; // Return path for errors
//$headers .= "Cc: [e-mail]\n";
//$headers .= "Bcc: [e-mail]\n";

/ and now mail it /

$Open = fopen ($DataFile, "r");

if ($BeenSubmitted) {
if ($Sender AND $Message AND $Subject) {
if ($Open) {
$Reading = file ($DataFile);

	for ($n = 0; $n < count($Reading); $n++){
	$GetEmail = explode(" ", $Reading[$n]);


			$Recipient = $GetEmail[0];
			if ( mail($Recipient, $Subject, $Message, $headers) )
				{ print ("Sent to $GetEmail[0]<br>\n");


				$DontShow = 1;
				} else {
				print ("error. didn't send<br>\n");
				}

		}

	}

	} else {		
			print ("Please complete all the fields below before hitting the send button.\n");	
	}
}	

fclose ($Open);

//input form
if ($DontShow != 1) {
print ("<form method=\"post\" action=\"/testing/mailing3.php\">");
print ("From email: <input type=\"text\" name=\"FromEmail\" size=30 value=$FromEmail><br>\n");
//print ("To email: <input type=\"text\" name=\"ToEmail\" size=30 value=$ToEmail><br>\n");
print ("Subject: <input type=\"text\" name=\"Subject\" size=30 value=$Subject><br>\n");

<option value=\"3\">Select
<option value=\"1\">Highest
<option value=\"2\">High
<option value=\"3\">Normal

print ("<input type=hidden name=BeenSubmitted value=true>");
