mail() acting up

[tleisher]

Why would this code print the message twice in the mail:

[code=php:0]$from = "forgotten@".$hostname;
            $to = $lost_email;
            $subject = "Password Reminder From ".$hostname;
           
            $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n".
          "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n".
          "From: \"Password Reminder\" <".$from.">\r\n".
          "To: \"User\" <".$to.">\r\n".
         
          # Mail message
         
          $message = "
            Someone (hopefully you) requested that your password be reset, if you received this in error please e-mail your
            admin at " . $author_email . "<br /><br />You're new password is: " . $n_pass;
           
            $response = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
[/code]

Returns this in the email:

[quote] Someone (hopefully you) requested that your password be reset, if you received this in error please e-mail your admin at *******

You're new password is: ******* Someone (hopefully you) requested that your password be reset, if you received this in error please e-mail your admin at *******

You're new password is: *******[/quote]

?? That is wierd. I have never had that happen before. I doubt this will fix it but try placeing the $message before the headers.

Good Luck,
Tom

i think that not all the code as i suspect you got the message around a for loop i guess?

yup it must be sumething else, just adapted your code to test, and couldn't reproduce the error..

Maybe showing the complete script would help.

That was the whole mail() part of it, anything involving it anyway.

The problem was that I had $to, and a To: variable in my header, so it had it twice.. for some reason that made it angry and when I removed the To: in $headers, it works.
