I’m trying to create a php script that will handle a mailing list for me using a mySQL database, and I have most of it in place. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get the headers to work right, and I’m not sure what the problem is.

$headers='From: noreply@rilburskryler.net \r\n';
$headers.='Reply-To: noreply@rilburskryler.net\r\n';
$headers.='X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion().'\r\n';
$headers.= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers.= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 \r\n';
$headers.= "BCC: $emailList";

The result I’m getting on the recieving end is:

“noreply”@rilburskryler.net rnReply-To: noreply@rilburskryler.netrnX-Mailer: PHP/5.2.13rnMIME-Version: 1.0

    To have names, as opposed to email addresses shown, use the following:

    "John Smith" <johnsemail@hisserver.com>

    Easy.

    Regarding the broken line breaks, that is because you are enclosing the text in apostrophes rather than quotation marks:

    $headers = array(
  'From: "The Sending Name" <noreply@rilburskryler.net>' ,
  'Reply-To: "The Reply To Name" <noreply@rilburskryler.net>' ,
  'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() ,
  'MIME-Version: 1.0' ,
  'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' ,
  'BCC: ' . $emailList
);
$headers = implode( "\r\n" , $headers );
