Here is the php code, I have set the Content type as header , but it seems it cut off after MIME version 1.0 ? How to fix this? thanks.
<?php
function encodeMIMEString ($enc, $string)
{
return "=?$enc?B?".base64_encode($string)."?=";
}
if (isset($_POST["data"])){
// Get posted data
$mailStr = $_POST["data"];
$mailStr = str_replace ('&page','#page',$mailStr);
$mailStr = str_replace ('&issue','#issue',$mailStr);
$info = explode("&", $mailStr);
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $info[0] <$info[0]>";
// Read XML to place the headings in mail content
$xml = simplexml_load_file('lang'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$info[4].'.xml')
or die("Error: Cannot create object");
$subject = (string)$xml->mailTitle;
$mailMsgDes = (string)$xml->mailMsgDes;
$mailLink = (string)$xml->mailLink;
$mailLinkView = (string)$xml->mailLinkView;
$message = nl2br(htmlentities(trim($info[2]), ENT_QUOTES, "UTF-8"));
$url = str_replace ('#page','&page',$info[3]);
$url = str_replace ('#issue','&issue',$url);
$mailContent = '<html><head></head><body><b>'.$mailMsgDes.' :</b>'.$message.'</br></br>'.$mailLink.' :</b>'.$mailLinkView.'</br>';
if (isset($info[5])){
$mailContent = $mailContent."</br><img src = \"$info[5]\" />";
}
if (isset($info[6])){
$mailContent = $mailContent."</br><img src = \"$info[6]\" />";
}
$mailContent .= '</body></html>';
if (mail($info[1], encodeMIMEString("UTF-8", $subject), $mailContent, $headers))
echo 'Mail sent';
}
?>
Using \r instead of \r\n fixed the problem.
Possibly due to server settings.
Put your FROM header above the MIME-Version and Content-type definition.. Just swap 'em:
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = "From: $info[0] <$info[0]>\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8\r\n\r\n";
If you use the PHP_EOL constant, then you don't need to worry about \r or \n or \r\n, and your code would be more portable across servers.

I'm trying to add a line break into a plain text email and after several attempts I don't seem be able to get it to work. Here's what I've tried so far:
$plain = "";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\r\n\r\n";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\r\n\";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\n\n";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\r\r\";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\r";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:\n";
$plain .= "Roll Back Plan:" . PHP_EOL;
And none have worked so far.
I appreciate that's been asked before here.
But I've tried the suggested approaches and still nothing...
Any ideas?
EDIT:
This is for a plain text email.

You can compose email body as html :
in that case you can use "</br>" tag to line break
If you wish to compose email as plain text:
use "\r\n" for line break
I am making a simple link checker to check thousands of direct links for files in a site I am managing now. All files are from archive_org. I made a textarea
<table width="100%"> <tr><td>URLs to check:</td><td><textarea name="myurl" id="myurl" cols="100" rows="20"></textarea></td></tr>
<tr><td align="center" colspan="2"><br/><input class="text" type="submit" name="submitBtn" value="Check links"></td></tr> </table>
and all links on it will be stored in an array called $url (each url is put in a new line)
$url = explode("\n", $_POST['myurl']);
I printed it using print_r and links inside the array are the same as entered without any character added.
I checked the urls using two methods: fopen() and curl functions, and no matter how many links I put, the program see all links are broken except for the last one. The last link in the array is the only one which is checked correctly.
I used get_headers function, and I noticed that all links (except for the last one) have underscore (_) added to their end. The get_headers code is:
for ($i=0;$i<count($url);$i++) {
$headers = #get_headers($url[$i]);
$headers = (is_array($headers)) ? implode( "\n ", $headers) : $headers;
print_r($headers);
echo "<br /><br />";
}
In the headers I noticed the links are as such:
HTTP/1.0 302 Moved Temporarily Server: nginx/1.1.19 Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:46:40 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.2 Accept-Ranges: bytes Location: http://ia600308.us.archive[dot]org/23/items/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre012103.mp3_ X-Cache: MISS from Dataprolinks X-Cache: MISS from AIMAN-DPL X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from AIMAN-DPL:3128 Connection: close HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found Server: nginx/1.1.19 Date: Mon, 02 Sep 2013 10:46:41 GMT Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.2 Set-Cookie: PHPSESSID=s2j3ct95vdji0ua89f32grd984; path=/; domain=.archive.org Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0 Pragma: no-cache X-Cache: MISS from Dataprolinks X-Cache: MISS from AIMAN-DPL X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from AIMAN-DPL:3128 Connection: close
There is an underscore added to the link, except for the header of the last url, no underscore is added. I guess this underscore is responsible for the checking error.
Where am I making mistakes?
For your cases, I guess you POST the URLs in Window, when you press "ENTER" key to separate the links, the "ENTER" as "\r\n". In WWW, there must not include the "\r", therefore somewhere(php? curl? I have no idea about that.) convert it into "_".
<?php
$urls = array();
$urls[] = 'http://archive.org/download/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre011103.mp3';
$urls[] = 'http://archive.org/download/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre000103.txt';
$urls[] = 'http://archive.org/download/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre082103.mp3';
$urls[] = 'http://archive.org/download/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre001103.txt';
$urls[] = 'http://archive.org/download/historyofthedecl00731gut/1dfre141103.mp3';
print("<pre>" .print_r($urls, 1). "</pre><br /><br />");
foreach($urls as $url){
//ensure each url only start with ONE _ and end with ONE _
print("<pre>_" . $url . "_</pre>");
$header = array();
$headers = #get_headers($url);
print("<pre>" .print_r($headers, 1). "</pre><br /><br />");
}
?>
You can use my code to have a simple test: each link will be printed with "_" both in start and end. Then proof my explain. How to fix: just add the strip_tags(nl2br($url)) to remove the "\r", "\n".
I'm using PHP's mail() function to send SMS messages. It works fine, except that the message shows as coming from 'myuser#mr2.websitewelcome.com' when I want it to show as 'test#mydomain.com'. Here's the relevant code:
//Set headers and send mail.
$headers = "From: " . "test#mydomain.com" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". "test#mydomain.com" . "\r\n";
mail( $from, '', $message, $headers );
I know this question has been asked before, but nothing has helped me so far. I've tried setting the header as '-f test#mydomain.com'. No luck.
Btw, if I send to an email address rather than a phone number, the headers work just fine.
Idk if this has anything to do with it, but my script gets called from an email forwarder that I set up in cpanel like:
Address Forward To
test#mydomain.com |/home/myuser/public_html/handler.php
Also, here are the full headers of an email send to an email address:

Can you use the additional parameters argument to (again) declare the from address?
mail('nobody#example.com', 'the subject', 'the message',
"From: webmaster#example.com\r\n", '-fwebmaster#example.com');
I generally add on the additional parameter when using mail() and it tends to fix most issues I've experienced.
You can set the Return-Path to test#mydomain.com, like so:
mail( $from, '', $message, $headers, '-ftest#mydomain.com');
(note the lack of space after -f)
The variable $from is not set, so it defaults. Your code should be:
//Set headers and send mail.
$headers = "From: " . "test#mydomain.com" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". "test#mydomain.com" . "\r\n";
$from = "test#mydomain.com";
mail( $from, '', $message, $headers );
I'm using a socket connection in PHP to post data to an Apache webserver. I'm a bit new to this technique, and I am not sure how to isolate the headers from the body of the response.
Sending Code:
<?php
// collect data to post
$postdata = array(
'hello' => 'world'
);
$postdata = http_build_query($postdata);
// open socket, send request
$fp = fsockopen('127.0.0.1', 80);
fwrite($fp, "POST /server.php HTTP/1.1\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Host: fm1\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Content-Length: ".strlen($postdata)."\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "Connection: close\r\n");
fwrite($fp, "\r\n");
fwrite($fp, $postdata);
// go through result
$result = "";
while(!feof($fp)){
$result .= fgets($fp);
}
// close
fclose($fp);
// display result
echo $result;
?>
Server Code:
Hello this is server. You posted:
<pre>
<?php print_r($_POST); ?>
</pre>
When posting to one server, I get:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:55:27 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.15 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.15 OpenSSL/0.9.8m PHP/5.3.2

Hello this is server. You posted:
<pre>
Array
(

)
</pre>
As expected. I want to strip off the headers though, and just read the body from "Hello this is server....." onwards.
How can i reliably detect the end of the headers and read the body into a variable?
Also, another server I've tested on replies with this:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

4d
Hello this is server. You posted:
<pre>
Array

[hello] => world
)
</pre>
0
What are the "4d" and "0" around the body text??
Thanks!
PS before someone says use CURL, I can't unfortunately :-(
You can separate the header from the the body by splitting up on a double linebreak. It should be <CRLF><CRLF> so this would normally work:
list($header, $body) = explode("\r\n\r\n", $response, 2);
More reliably you should use a regex to catch linebreak variations (super unlikely to ever happen):
list($header, $body) = preg_split("/\R\R/", $response, 2);
The thing with the 4d and 0 is called the chunked encoding. (It's hex-numbers separated with another linebreak, and inidicate the length of the following raw content block).
To clear that up you have to look at the headers first, and see if there is an according Transfer-Encoding: entry. This is were it gets complicated, and advisable to use one of the myriad of existing HTTP userland processing classes. PEAR has one.
Headers should end with "\r\n\r\n" (two times). These 4d and 0 are possibly part of your php response (they are not part of the headers).
In most cases Mario's answer should work but I have just tried to apply this method to response from Couch DB and there are some cases when it does not work.
If response does not contain any documents then Couch DB put "\r\n\r\n" inside response body trying to keep results well-formed and in this case it is not enough to just split response by "\r\n\r\n" because you can accidentally cut end part of the body.
HTTP/1.0 200 OK Server: CouchDB/1.6.1 (Erlang OTP/R16B02) ETag: "DJNMQO5WQIBZHFMDU40F1O94T" Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2015 09:37:33 GMT Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Cache-Control: must-revalidate
{"total_rows":0,"offset":0,"rows":[
// Couch DB adds some extra line breakers on this line
]}
Following parsing seems to be more reliable for Couch DB :
$parts = explode("\r\n\r\n", $response);
if ($parts)
{
$headers = array_shift($parts);
$body = json_decode(implode("\r\n\r\n", $parts));
}
I have to get any text between:
Final-Recipient: RFC822; !HERE! Action
I need !HERE! from this example. There could be any string.
I tried something like:
$Pattern = '/Final-Recipient: RFC822; (.*) Action/';
But it doesn't work.
upd
Here is the string I'm trying to parse: http://dpaste.com/187638/
Since you said "any string" which may contain spaces, the closest approximate would be
$Pattern = '/Final-Recipient: RFC822; (.*?) Action/s';
# ^ ^
# lazy match instead of greedy match ----' |
# allow . to match newline -----'
Of course it won't match "Final-Recipient: RFC822; Action Action".
Your pattern works fine for me:
$i = 'This is a MIME-encapsulated message --o3ONXoEH01blah3:35:33 +0400 (MSD) Final-Recipient: RFC822; !HERE! Action: failed Status: 4.4.7 Lblahru> From: *
#*.ru';
$pattern = '/Final-Recipient: RFC822; (.*) Action/';
$matches = Array();
preg_match($pattern, $i, $matches);
print_r($matches);
Output:
Array
(
[0] => Final-Recipient: RFC822; !HERE! Action
[1] => !HERE!
)
Note also that your pattern will fail if the "any text" contains new lines. Use the DOTALL modifier /.../s to allow the dot to also match new lines. Also note that if the text " Action" appears elsewhere in the message it will cause your regular expression to fail. Matching dot is dangerous. Try to find a more specific pattern if possible.
$Pattern = '/Final-Recipient:[^;]+[;|<|\s]+([^\s|^<|^>]+)/i';
The following expression turned out to be the best for my problems, because sometimes there are lines of the following kind:
Final-Recipient: LOCAL;<example#rambler.ru>
I am going to suggest a method that does not use them, which requires extra busywork.

a bit late....
but has been asked in terms of how to solve a problem that is not quite his requirements Op perhaps has joined multiple lines onto one line?(imho).
This might help others....
I'm assuming that op is trying to parse the Final-Recipient header field of a delivery status notification.
The spec for the Final-Recipient field can be seen here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3464#page-15
If the problem is broken down, op can pull the final recipient field as a single field (Final recipient followed by a char/blank line on the next line.
e.g.
Original-recipient: rfc822;some-email-that-does-not-exist#gmail.com
Final-recipient: rfc822;some-email-that-does-not-exist#gmail.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.1.1 (Remote SMTP server has rejected address)
Final recipient is followed by the start of the next field, Action which has A on the next line. ie not followed by a space or blank line.
then all he has to do is split the line on ; and take the second part
ie
String[] twoparts = "Final-recipient: rfc822;some-email-that-does-not-exist#gmail.com".split(";",2) // 2 here means (2-1) = 1 match
String email = twoparts[1]
