anatak Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 on the mail() page I read this Message to be sent. Each line should be separated with a LF (\n). Lines should not be larger than 70 characters. and then Caution (Windows only) When PHP is talking to a SMTP server directly, if a full stop is found on the start of a line, it is removed. To counter-act this, replace these occurrences with a double dot. <?php $text = str_replace("\n.", "\n..", $text); ?> Here are my questions how do you cut a text in lines ? I was thinking using chunk_split() but maybe you know a better way. how do you know if "php is talking to a SMTP server directly" ? is this depending on where the site is hosted ? Can you test if you are on a windows box and talking to a SMTP server ? do the \n count for the 70 characters ? (so you would cut your string in 68 character pieces and put the \n behind every piece) how can you make sure that you don't chop Unicode characters in half with the chunk_split() functions ? kind regards anatak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
