Mail Headers Not Working Properly

[skustes]

Hey all,

New guy here....I'm having a bit of trouble with mail() that hopefully you can shed some light on.  It's a basic contact form; user inputs and email is sent to someone in the directory.  The email is actually sending, but the problem seems to be my headers.  The From address in a received email is "unknown sender" and the HTML isn't being rendered (see below this code for an example of what I'm getting). 

 

Here is the code that's putting the whole thing together:

$strMessageBody = "Name: " . $_GET['from'] . "<br/>Phone: " . $_GET['phone'] . "<br/>Email: " . $_GET['email'] . "<br/>" . $_GET['body'];
		$strHeaders = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . '\r\n' . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" . '\r\n' . "From: " . $_GET['email'] . '\r\n';

		if ($_GET['subject'] == "") {
			$strSubject = "Contact Form Response";
		}
		else {
			$strSubject = $_GET['subject'];
		}

		if(mail(mysql_result($qryGetEmail,0,health_pro_email), $strSubject, $strMessageBody, $strHeaders)) {

 

If you go here, you can see the output that I'm inserting into the mail() call: http://bodyfitburn.com/fitnessdirectory/functions/ajax_calls/sendcontactform.php?id=4&from=Test&[email protected]&phone=&subject=&body=  It's currently set to dump the variables and die, so no mail will actually be sent.

 

Note that the Body will look right there since the browser will render the break tags, but what I'm really getting in email is this:

Name: Test<br/>Phone: <br/>Email: [email protected]<br/>

 

So what's up with my header declarations?  Any thoughts?

new lines and returns (\r\n) needs to be enclosed in double-quotes, otherwise, they will not do their thing .. might be why your headers are not showing since they are malformed.  try this:

 

$strHeaders  = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$strHeaders .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$strHeaders .= "From: " . $_GET['email'] . "\r\n";

 

hope that helps.

Any chance my original post can be edited to remove the link to sendcontactform.php?  It's no longer setup for debugging, so whenever someone clicks on it, it's sending emails.
