"reeze dot xia at gmail dot com" is correct: this is not a bug in PHP, but rather 
an issue with your code, the configuration of PHP, or a problem with the 
server(s).  You may want to use the PHP General mailing list to ask for help with 
this issue.  You can subscribe to the list at http://php.net/mailinglists .
