mail() $message truncating
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:42 pm
Is there a limitation to how long your message can be when using mail()? I load the body of my html formatted email into $message and then call it to loop out my emails for a newsletter. However it seems to truncate the message around 1021 characters for whatever reason. I have tried removing all the html code from the message and it still truncates at the same amount of characters.
Am I doing something improperly? Perhaps I should be using a different method to send a long email? Any help offered would be appreciated!
Code: Select all
<?php
if ($_POST[op] != "send") {
//haven't seen the form, so show it
print "
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Newsletter Email</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<form method=\"post\" action=\"$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]\">
<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"op\" value=\"send\">
<p><input type=\"submit\" name=\"submit\" value=\"Send It\"></p>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>";
} else if ($_POST[op] == "send") {
//want to send form, so check for required fields
if (($_POST[subject] !="") || ($_POST[message] != "")) {
header("Location: sendmymail.php");
exit;
}
//connect to database
$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("dbname",$conn) or die(mysql_error());
//get emails from subscribers list
$sql = "SELECT user_email FROM users WHERE username = 'test'";
$result = mysql_query($sql,$conn) or die(mysql_error());
//create a From: mailheader
$headers = "From: Name <name@domain.com>\n" . "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" . "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1";
$subject = "Subject is blah";
$message = "<html><body>Big ol Message</body></html>";
//loop through results and send mail
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
set_time_limit(0);
$email = $row['user_email'];
mail("$email", $subject, $message, $headers);
print "newsletter sent to: $email<br>";
}
}
?>
