PHPmail headers Content-Type

[warwick]

I am creating php code to take information from web form and email to Goldmine (my companies CRM system). For data to be automatically imported into Goldmine database it needs to have a specific header content type (and correct body formating and password). It also seeems that emails must be in plain text, HTML content does not seem to work.

 

Required is

Content-Type: text/x-gm-impdata

 

In my code I have two sections, the original using mail() which works on my development PC. But the final code will be on different system which requires SMTP authentication. I have therefore written a second code section with PHPmail.

 

Currently while trying to get this working I am sending two emails with each submitted form.

 

The code section using mail, works fine, and imports straight into Goldmine.

 

The code section using PHPmail sends email, but this does not import into Goldmine. The email is recieved, but I beleive the header information is not correct for Goldmine. When the email is being recieved into Goldmine (from using PHPmail) additional header information is being added (than I expected) - a second Content-Type is appearing, which I think is confusing Goldmine. Can someone please assist with sorting out the header code.

 

Note that in the second section, while I am using PHPmail for it authentication abilitiy, at this stage I am not actually using SMTP authentication as my development system does not require it.

 

I am using Windows XP with Apache 2.2.14 and PHP 5.3.1

i think you need to either hack PHPMailer to remove the content-type header it adds or write your own smtp authentication.
