Hi,

In mail function on windows for windows paltform there is a nasty bug (I think).
I'm trying to execute folowing code, but it crashes every time :(((

<?php
mail( "haha@hehe.com", "Subject test", "Body test", "Cc: hihi@hehe.com\r\n" ) or die( "Cannot send mail" );
?>

If I instead Cc (wich is right on windows) write cc (small caps), then mail is sent, but without cc copy!! If I leave Cc (first letter Upper second Lower) then I get this error message:

Warning: Server Error in C:\razvoj\slowwwenia\massmail\test.php on line 2
Cannot send mail

I have tested this on the Windows 2000 proffesional and IIS 5.0 with PHP 4.0.4pl1 installed as ISAPI module. I have tested it with PHP 4.0.6 too and still didn't work :((
Is there any solution for this problem?

Thanks for any help
Simon

This is not a bug. PHP's mail() function on Win2K uses a own implementation to talk to a mailserver. This code is not very smart at this moment, but a rewrite is on it's way (other bugs are posted for that).
Bogusifying this one.

You must place '\r\n' before each item in the header.
Also for Cc's and Bcc's use uppercase. ie. 'BCC'

For example:
$header = "From:info@php.net";
$header.= "\r\nCC:info@php.net";
$header.= "\r\nBCC:info@php.net";
