Mail() Function Not Working When Adding A Headers Parameter?
This works:
$to = "email@address.com";
$subject = "CONTACT FORM";
$body = "test";
mail($to, $subject, $body);
But when I add an additional parameter $headers, it doesn't work:
$to = "email@address.com";
$subject = "CONTACT FORM";
$headers = "From: My Name Here";
$body = "test";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
What could I be doing wrong?

Mail() From: Headers Not Working
i have a couple scripts on my site that send emails, and they've all been working for months with no problems. all of a sudden the from headers aren't working, so the messages all come from the server (texasnee@web012.ahp01.lax.affinity.com) instead of the address specified. i haven't changed anything in the scripts and i didn't (knowingly) make any changes to the server....

Mail Headers For Online App Are Not Working Properly
We switched to a new host last night and for some reason my mail headers for my online app are not working properly. The following code use to display the incoming apps as an html page in Outlook. Now it displays "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" at the top along with the page source below it. $mailheaders = "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $mailheaders .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"; mail($allRcv, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

Checking The 'message' Parameter Of The Mail Function
I would imagine it is a fairly common situation for a site to allow the user to enter some text into a field and then to have that text passed to the 'message' parameter of the mail function (http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php). Is it a good idea to pass this text through some other function first or can it be sent through as is? Is this a case where the maxim 'do not trust input from the user' does not apply?

Headers Using Mail() Function
I know there is lots of information out there and I've taken a look, but I want to learn how to do this myself. And I'm a beginner here and some of it I don't understand (so no flames, RTFM or GFGI Here's my function: function send_mail($to_name, $to_email, $from_name, $from_email, $subject, $message) { $thedate = date("r", time()); $headers = "X-Mailer: PHPMailProgram/1.0"; $headers .= "From: "".$from_name."" <".$from_email.">"; $headers .= "Date: $thedate"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain"; $from = "".$from_name."" <".$from_email.">"; return mail( $from, $subject, $message, $headers); } My problem is that it will never arrive with the "Name" <email address>, and I can only make it work using email addresses without the names or the angle brackets around the email addresses. Once I tried printing the headers and the quotes and angle brackets turned up, but no names or email addresses. And once an email arrived but with nothing but angle brackets! (I wonder how that happened? The SMTP server must have stripped things out perhaps?)

Headers For The Mail() Function

Mail() Function - Additional Headers
I writing a script to send emailing using php and the mail() function. All of the codes is tested on a different server than I am currently using and works. The code I am using now works but it will not send email to .edu addresses. Has anyone ever heard of this? Could this be a problem with my php.ini file? Do I need additional headers that I don't have? Any thoughts would be of service. Like I said I've gotten it to work on a different server, I do not have access to that php.ini file but I now have access to my current servers php.ini file if that is where the problem lies. mail() sending emails fine to .com addresses (from what I can gather, sends them to gmail and hotmail) but like I send not .edu address.

Mail() Function Not Working
I recently moved hosts and I am now using QMail instead of POSTFIX. My PHP mail() functions that used to work, now do not show HTML. Here are my mail() headers: $headers = "From: "My Name" <myemail@test.com>"; $headers .= "Reply-To: myemail@test.com"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"; $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit;"; $headers .= ""; mail("sendto@test.com", "Subject Goes Here", "Message Containing HTML Code", $headers); When I get emails, it prints this at the top of the email: Content-Type: text/HTML; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit; I was wondering if my headers are incorrect?

Mail() Function No Longer Working
I was recently writing a script that utlises the mail() function, I could not figure out why it wasn't working, I tried different recipients as well. It seems that the mail() function is broken, as a few other scripts that were unchanged also no longer work. What are the possible reasons for mail() to stop working? In the past it has been due to the mailbox being full, but it is empty at the moment. The only thing I can think of is my ISP has broken something in PHP or sendmail, I'm out of ideas...

PHP Mail Function Stopped Working
Yesterday before 2:30, we were receiving email from the servers just fine. The same code today doesn't work. We haven't received an email for almost 24 hours now from the server. I've looked at every different way we send email: Newsletter program: works with SMTP send, but not PHP mail send (it has the option) CGI Forms: work PHP Mail pages - nothing. I've gone through everything I did yesterday, and I can't find anything that I could have changed that could possibly be making this type of problem occur. After 2:30, I picked up my kids from school, created two new pages on the domain that had nothing to do with mail, and got a CSR for a new SSL cert. Our server admin doesn't remember doing anything either. What could possibly be causing this?

Mail() Function Randomly Stopped Working
The problem that I am having is that I have a page that uses the mail() function. The page is on admin panel of a store and is called from another page that lists all of the orders. Basically, the script updates the status of the order to indicate that the payment has been received and sends an email to the customer to notify them of the payment receipt. The script was working fine for months, but recently stopped working completely. (Although no error is thrown.) The only thing that I can think that could have affected this is that the host recently upgraded from PHP 4 to PHP 5; however, I have another site on the same account where the mail function works just fine.

Function Parameter
Assume you define a function that is called with a constant as parameter. Within that function, based on some condition it calls itself recursively. Example: <?php function Test($firstcall) { echo "(enter) firstcall=$firstcall<br>"; if (some_condition) { Test(0); } echo "(leave) firstcall=$firstcall<br>"; } Test(1); ?> I need that variable/parameter before and after the main part of the function. For the first call, the (enter) output shows that $firstcall=1, but the (leave) always shows $firstcall=0, if the function has been called recursively. I don't use parameters by reference but by value. So how must I declare $firstcall correctly to maintain its content within subsequent calls?

Passing A Reference To A Function As A Parameter?
I'm writing a class that accepts a SQL query and outputs an HTML table of the results. It's designed so you can do some pretty extensive formatting of individual columns. I'd like to give the user the ability to process particular column data with a custom function handler - for example, they might want to process a field that contains a dollar amount by running it through a function that prepends a dollar sign and inserts commas between grouped thousands. Something like this: $foo = new MyClass(); $foo->addCustomHandler( 'column_name', [specify handler function here] ); Currently, the class user passes in the name of the handler function as a string, and the class invokes it with eval(). This works, but using eval() makes my skin crawl - it's just not an elegant way to do things. In JavaScript, functions are objects, so you can pass them around and reference them like any other variable, but that's not the case in PHP.

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website. For some reason when I include words such as "free" or "winner" the mail does not send to any of the addresses - it just seems to disappear in space. I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.

Function Parameter Passing? Session? Static? Global?
The 'main' page contains a call to a function in an included file. This function puts a html-form on the screen. Before the form gets posted (to the 'main' page) some prior errorchecking is done. The form fields are then sent and an object is created (all in the same function). What I need ( imo ) is an array with objects that can be written later to a dbfile to preserve. But I cannot find a solution for the extension of the array. the function statements are simply these: < inside function in included file > $o = someObject( $s ) ; $objarr[] = $o; </ inside function in included file > As this array is within a function it is local to this function. As I understand it now a good solution would be to pass the array to the function. In the 'main' page I made a variable $objarr that is passed into the function like this: <'main' page> $objarr ; function( $objarr ) </'main' page> The PHP manual states that in the absence of the array variable it gets created. {Does this mean that function( $objarr ) would suffice? } However, whatever I try, I end up with the creation of $objarr[ 0 ] only.

Mail() And To: Headers
I'm using the mail() function to send e-mails. The first argument to the function is the e-mail address the mail will be sent to. I understand this should just be in the format 'address@domain' and not '"Name" <address@domain>' and that if I want to specify the name of the recipient as well as the address of the recipient I should pass it as an addition header. This works fine locally under Windows and Apache but remotely under Linux and Apache the resultant raw message has 2 To: headers meaning the client displays it as being sent to 2 addresses (the same address twice). Am I doing this correctly? It seems a clumsy way of doing it, especially as SpamAssassin marks down a message with only an email address in the two header.

Mail Headers
I have a problem writing mail headers with php. When i set the from: field, the resultant mail have the host name and the ip from it has been written.Can i make appear in the headers the address i would want for the from: field?. That is that in the resultant mail, all the information will be related to the from: field, not to the place or host where the mail has been sent. And another question: Can i make people who'll answer my mail answer me instead of answer the address in the from: field?. I use the Reply-To: field in the header but it sets an address to send the answer and appears in the Reply: field in the resultant answer mail. Can i make appear an address in the Reply: field of the answer mail and make it be sent to another address instead?.

Mail Headers And Auto-reply
I'm working on a corporate email routing script that takes input from a customer service form, and sends the message to customerservice@domain.com... During the script, there are certain triggers that will notify other company users of the message send using a BCC header to send it along to those users higher up in the company. (regional managers, and corporate officers)... Now, here's the situation that I haven't ran across yet, and need to make sure never comes up... I think it may be solved via the Reply-To or Return-Path headers, but I'm just not sure, and can't find exactly what I'm looking for online. Customer 1 sends an email that gets sent to customerservice@domain.com via To header and sent to regional_manager@domain.com, and corp_officer@domain.com via BCC header. What happens to the out of office auto-reply if the regional manager or corporate officer have those set and are on vacation? I DO NOT want these replies to return to customer1 revealing the email addresses of the higher-ups.
