[N-GAGE]

Hello everyone,

<?
		$email = "myemail@gmail.com";
		$subiect = "Trying";
		$mesaj = "Hello";
		$headers = 'From: My Name' . "\r\n" .
				   'Reply-To: My Name' . "\r\n";
		
        mail($email,$subiect, stripslashes($mesaj), $headers);
?>

If I run this code, in the email box I'll get a new email in which the name is without space.
I'll get a new message with from "MyName".


Does anybody have any idea how to fix this ?
I searched a lot in the php manual and in google but nothing helped me.


Thanks

Awkward. Random idea: try url encoding

'From: My%20Name'

Worst thing that can happen is nothing.

I tried this and the result: from My%20Name@... .. The %20 doesn't change in anything.

Besides, I tried urlencode($name) and I get My+Name;
I tried too My Name and the result is: My&nbsp


Anyone else ?

try enclosing the entire headers variable in another set of double quotes:

<?
$email = "myemail@gmail.com";
$subiect = "Trying";
$mesaj = "Hello";
$headers = "'From: My Name' . \r\n .
'Reply-To: My Name' . \r\n";

mail($email,$subiect, stripslashes($mesaj), $headers);
?>

I haven't tested it but see what you get. (I also removed the double quote before/after the \r\n.)

just a suggestion, try it out.

Tirus, please refer to the following page on php.net: Strings

I don't want to sound rude, and i don't want to go into why what you did with the $headers variable is wrong, but trust me when i say that what you did is really not right.

The only remaining issue i can come up with for why the space is being removed is because of either your e-mail client, or something with your SMTP server that removes spaces (which would be out of your control and you should talk to your hosts customer support for help with that).

Ok people... finally I resolved it myself

I was simple

<?
		$email = "youremail@gmail.com";
		$subiect = "Trying";
		$mesaj = "Hello";
		$headers = 'From: "Your Name" <jojo@gmail.com>' . "\r\n" .
				   'Reply-To: "Your name"' . "\r\n";
		
        mail($email,$subiect, stripslashes($mesaj), $headers);
?>

Just putting the name in "" will do.

Keep this in mind.

Thanks anyway 2 everyone
