Question

I have a page on Go Daddy and getting CRLF Error

Asked by: edvinson

On this page: http://www.chuckbettsmayor.com/volunteer.php I get an error that says I need CR LF at the end of each line. I tried several combinations but nothing so far seems to work.
Any idea why I can't send mail?
Works on other servers fine.

from the sendemail.php

Hi,
Try to add \r\n at the end of the lines (especially in the headers)

$mailheaders = "From: Chuck Betts Mayor.com <mail@edvinson.com>\r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\n";

oh,
that's not php but a server error:
http://email.about.com/cs/standards/a/smtp_error_code_2.htm
your php works fine.
try to send a simple mail like
mail('edvinson@keokuk.com', 'hello', 'testing'); // no headers
this should cause no harm to the server.

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:03:39ID: 25350705

Is this what you mean? I tried this but it didn't send me an email, but it didn't show an error either.

update: emails did come through, now how do I get them to include more than testing?

by: TiberiuGalPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:11:12ID: 25350765

next in line,
add the "From ..." header (withouth the trailling \r\n) and try to send the mail again.

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:14:17ID: 25350793

Its not happy:

$msg = "Yard Sign: ".$_POST["yardsign"]."r\n";
$msg .= "Campaign Help: ".$_POST["campaign"]."r\n";
$msg .= "Name: ".$_POST["Name"]."r\n";
$msg .= "Address: ".$_POST["address"]."r\n";

there's a comma missing after 'testing' :)
I believe you are tiered, but try playing a bit with the values, see where exectly does the server go whild

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:22:53ID: 25350875

I found the comma and now I get this error

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 The message was rejected because it contains prohibited virus or spam content in D:\Hosting\4930909\html\sendemail.php on line 36

by: TiberiuGalPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:29:41ID: 25350949

yeah, they don't like testing emails.
or maybe your pc is infected. do a full av scan.

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:29:58ID: 25350954

OK this seems to work, now how do we pull in the form data submitted please?

which software are you using for smtp?

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:32:40ID: 25350974

Not sure what you're asking. Using Dreamweaver to create the form....???

by: TiberiuGalPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:36:33ID: 25351009

you should pull the data just as you did before
I suspect the mail server, the data handling was done ok.
maybe the last header line should not end in \r\n?!

by: TiberiuGalPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:42:11ID: 25351060

do you run iis? (iis comes with it's own smtp server)
I'm asking because there are strange peculiarities with most smtp server on windows. that's why i disable the mail part on the development machine and reenable it only on the deployment server.

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 15:47:29ID: 25351092

This site is on Go Daddy. what would you suggest?

by: TiberiuGalPosted on 2009-09-16 at 16:01:43ID: 25351175

I thought it's your development pc - let's just forget about that and let's focus on your code;

you should go back to :
.....
$recipient = "mail@edvinson.com \r\n";
$subject = "Form Submission Results \r\n";
$mailheaders = "From: Chuck Betts Mayor.com <mail@edvinson.com> \r\n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"]. "\r\n";
//send the mail
mail($recipient, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);

and remove the \r\n on the last mailheader:
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: ".$_POST["email"];

by: edvinsonPosted on 2009-09-16 at 16:07:41ID: 25351226

ok did it, now we're back to the original error:

Use \n as line separator, if it doesn't work (for any reason) use \r\n except for the last line .
I guess the smtp server does not like it that way.
$msg = "Yard Sign: ".$_POST["yardsign"] . "\n";
$msg .= "Campaign Help: ".$_POST["campaign"] . "\n";
....
$msg .= "EMail Address: ".$_POST["email"];

remove the \r\n after the $subject.

is this random? try to run the same script multiple times, see what's happening.
other than that ...i don't know.
Can't assist you any longer now, I have to go ... good luck

also try the \r\n for line separator:

$msg = "Yard Sign: ".$_POST["yardsign"]. "\r\n";
$msg .= "Campaign Help: ".$_POST["campaign"]. "\r\n";
......
$msg .= "EMail Address: ".$_POST["email"];
