Bug description: A tab inside ob_start using Eclipse IDE causes a glitch when
sending HTML email
Description:
------------
Using a text editor (Eclipse) for PHP the attached code will not work
properly when a tab is typed inside of the ob_start() section. No errors
are reported but when the HTML email is received it is represented as raw
text including the header data. Debugging for this in such case can be
very very difficult.
Reproduce code:
---------------
function test_html_email(){
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'My Code';
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
$headers = "From: [email protected]\r\nreply-to: [email protected]";
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"PHP-alt-".$random_hash."\"";
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering - Notice tabs below
?> --PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Hello World!!!
This is simple text email message.
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>
Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
<h2>Hello World!</h2>
<p>This is something with <b>HTML</b> formatting.</p>
--PHP-alt-<?php echo $random_hash; ?>--
<?php $message = ob_get_clean();
ob_end_flush();
$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );
echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";
}
test_html_email();
Expected result:
----------------
Hello World!
This is something with HTML formatting.
Actual result:
--------------
--PHP-alt-527d2deecd08a0f3e80bced5cace8aaa
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
