mail() function problem

I've been using ISS for over 2 years and all scripts worked okay.

I'm now using Apache on a Win2K system and my mail() command don't seem to be working now.

my code was:

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

in the $headers was:

"From: <email>\nReply-To: <email>\nDepartment: <department>\n"

now when I send the mail on the Apache system the email'a header I recieve looks like this:

To: <email>
From: <email>
Reply-To: <email>
Department: <department>

becuase the Reply-To: and Department: are tabbed the email in not being processed correctly.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Maybe

"From: <$email>\nReply-To: <$email>\nDepartment: <$department>\n";

without the $ symbol it is using literals.

Try replacing the \n with \r\n, windows doesn't understand just a linefeed, it needs the carriage return too.

cheers mate,

I did actually try

\n\r but no luck, never thought of it the other way.

cheers again.

sorry about that, I meant <email> to mean an email address.

All $ prefixes were there.

The problem was \r\n instead of \n,

cheers for your input
