I have an unexpected and perplexing problem. PHP's mail() function is base64 encoding all message bodies as an ill-formed MIME attachment resulting in the recipient seeing an uninteligable base64 encoded string. This only happens to my account with my host and neither I or the sysadmin can see why as there are no special configuration settings for me. The host is running PHP4.3.10. Here's what is happening: This code <?php mail ( "me@xxxxxxxxxx", "test script", "Foo!", ""); ?> Results in this mail being recieved. (message starts here) Delivered-To: me@xxxxxxxxxx <snip all the SMTP Recieved: headers for clarity/> To: me@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: test script Message-Id: <20050318103306.5CEE21F805D@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 18 Mar 2005 10:33:06 +0000 (GMT) From: httpd@xxxxxxxxxx (httpd) Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: BASE64 Rm9vIQ== (message ends here) On every other PHP host I've used I would have expected a simple string "Foo!" instead of the Mime-version stuff and the base64 encoded string. I'm sure I can get round this if I have to by using one of the PHP mail classes that are out there. But I'd prefer not to as one of the pieces of software I'm using is commercial and if I alter it I'll invalidate my support for it. Has anyone else seen this problem? I'd be interested to know what's happening. John W. List -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
