I just downloaded the latest Win32 build of PHP 4.3.0-dev from http://snaps.php.net/win32 and noticed that the following code segment does not work correctly:

mail("testuser@mydomain.com", "Test E-Mail", $PHP_AUTH_USER." has send a test e-mail message.", "From: webmaster@mydomain.com\nReply-To: $replyto\nX-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion());

In the current development version of PHP 4.3.0-dev the e-mail is sent but there is no body.  When I revise my code and omit the headers from the 4th parameter, everything works fine and the body of the e-mail message is sent correctly.

mail("testuser@mydomain.com", "Test E-Mail", $PHP_AUTH_USER." has send a test e-mail message.");

Please correct this problem.  Thanks!

Please read the documentation:

Note: You must use \r\n to seperate headers, although some Unix mail transfer agents may work with just a single newline (\n).

The code with "\n" worked perfectly in PHP 4.3.0-dev dated 5/18/2002 and PHP 4.2.0.

The following code also exhibits the same problem in today's CVS build of PHP 4.3.0-dev:

mail("testuser@mydomain.com", "Test E-Mail", $PHP_AUTH_USER." has sent a
test e-mail message.", "From: webmaster@mydomain.com");

Notice that there are no \n or \r\n in this code since there is only one header being passed.  With this code the body is not transmitted.  Omitting the header again corrects the problem.

This is definately a new problem in the CVS build...

The problem should be fixed in cvs now, please test with
latest Win32 build when the next one is created.

Yes, the problem is now fixed.  Thanks!
