Have you looked at the output in the page source? The <> may be
getting eaten by the browser. You may want to use htmlentities on your
trace output (but not the actual variables).
not
$To = John Doe <jdoe@xxxxxxxxx> ;
$from = Member <member@xxxxxxxxxxx>;
So $email and $reply are loosing their value/scope
But the ".CO_NAME." and ".BOUNCE_ADDR." are working!?!?
I assume these are defined constants, which don't have scope (or,
perhaps more accurately, always have global scope).
This is also in a page with many other email functions just like
this one and they work.
Only difference is the $To and $from are not inside an if()
{ statement.
How did my variables loose scope???
One other note, if I put..
$To = htmlspecialchars($fullname." <".$email.">");
then $To is correct when I trace..
$To = John Doe <jdoe@xxxxxxxxx> ;
but it wont send because the smtp mail will not send to
$To = John Doe <jdoe@xxxxxxxxx>
I MUST be doing something wrong.
Also, I did read about using Name <email@xxxxxxxxx> but the other
email functions work fine with those, so I'm not sure what's going on.
