[SOLVED] problems with a > in front of the letter F

[bubblybabs]

For my eCard site I have information sent to me (I know this isn't all useful info, alot of it is me playing around to see what I can do and can't do), here is the coding to send the email:

 

// Sent to eCard owner
$emailer = new emailer();
	$emailer->From     = $from_email;
	$emailer->FromName = $from_name;
	$emailer->AddReplyTo($from_email, $from_name);
	$emailer->Subject = 'Owner: An FEUsers eCard has been sent!'; 
	$emailer->Body    = "
CardID:  $cardid
From Name:  $from_name
From Email:  $from_email\r\n
To Name:  $to_name
To Email:  $to_email\r\n
IP from compose.php: $composeIP
IP from processCompose.php: $pC_ip\r\n
From Remote Port:  $from_remoteport
Script Filename:  $from_script_filename\r\n
From Server Address:  $from_server_address
From Server Name:  $from_server_name
Document Root:  $from_document_root\r\n
HTTP Cookie:  $HTTP_cookie
You may view the card at:\r\n$sitePath/viewcard.php?cardid=$cardid\r\n
Card Text (sorry, this will have the HTML embedded into it, it'll be easier to view the eCard itself):\r\n$cardtext\r\n\r\n";
	$emailer->AddAddress($siteEmail, $siteName);
	if(!$emailer->Send())
	{
		echo "There has been a mail error sending to $to_email <br>";
		echo $sendcard04;
	}

 

===============

The email winds up looking like this:

CardID:  1178050033

>From Name:  Babs

>From Email:  [email protected]

 

To Name:  Babsywabsy

To Email:  [email protected]

IP from processCompose.php: 25.10.174.123

 

>From Remote Port:  50577

>From Server Address:  25.10.123.123

Why does each line that starts with an F have a > in front of it?  I can't seem to get rid of it...

 

Thanks,

That's a result of how SMTP email is processed. Anytime the mail processing program sees a line beginning with the word "From" in the body of an email message it will prepend the ">" character to the line. This is to prevent this line from being interpreted as a "From" header. How to avoid it .. change the text at the beginning of the line to something like "Sent from".
