Hi Guys,

 

when i mass email users from my site the function that cleans all the string doesn't seem to be working for example

 

Hi

There

 

comes out as:

 

\r\nHi

\r\nThere

 

it works on every other page but not this one code is:

 

<?php 
     // mass pm...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
     
     ## mass email ######################################################################
     $query = "SELECT email,username FROM `membership`";
     $result = mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());
     
     ## loop through the emails #########################################################
     while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
     
     $members_email = $row['email'];
     $username = $row['username'];
     $message = CleanPosts($_POST['message'], 1);
     
     ## the vars ########################################################################
     $to = $members_email;
     $subject = "Mass E-Mail From";
     $from = "[email protected]";
 $body = "Hi, <b>$username</b>";
     $body .="<br /><br />";
     $body .="$message<br /><br />";
     $body .="Regards www..com";
     $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";  
     $headers = "From: <$from>\n"; 
     $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";  
     
     $mail_sent = mail($to,$subject,$body,$headers);
         
     }
     
     ## if emails went ok ###############################################################
     if($mail_sent) {
     
     echo '<br /><b>Mass E-Mails Were Successfully Sent!</b><br /><br />';
     
     } else {
     
     echo '<br /><b><font color="red">Error: </font>Sorry There Was An Error Sending The Mass E-Mails Please Try Again!</b><br /><br />';
     
     }
     
     
     } 
     
     // who is the admin...//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query3 = "SELECT * FROM `membership` WHERE `username`='$member'";
     $result3 = mysql_query($query3);
     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result3);
     
     // admins id.../////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $admins_id = $row['id'];
     
     // make the form...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////.
          echo '<br />
                <table width="500" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" />
                <form action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="POST" />
                <tr>
                <td align="center" bgcolor="#004E98" /><font color="#ffffff"><b>Send A Mass E-Mail To All Users</b></font></b></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td align="center"><textarea name="message" cols="40" rows="15"></textarea></td>
                </tr>
                <tr>
                <td bgcolor="#004E98" align="right" colspan="2"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Mass E-Mails >>>" /> 
                </td>
                </table><br />';
?>

 

not sure what the problem is the function is being called fine but its not getting rid of the the \r\n's

 

thanks for any help guys

 

Graham
