Jacek's send HTML mail issue

[Fidbeck]

I wanted to send an email as HTML and I followed Jacek's video on how to send HTML mails but I'm getting a problem here...

        
$headers = array(
            'From: plus1@something.net',
            'Content-Type: text/html'
        );

mail($for, $subject, $body, implode("\r\n", $headers));

is is giving me an error

Error: There is 1 array declaration that contain text character variables or values without quotations:
array( 'From: plus1@something.net', 'Content-Type: text/html' );

but if I put it like

  
$headers = array('From: plus1@something.net',
            'Content-Type: text/html'
        );

it works fine.

So should I change the inplode into just $headers or what?

Those two things should be the same :S That is not a standard PHP error, do you have some kind of debugging tool that is making stupid mistakes ?

[Fidbeck]

I checked for the code here phpcodechecker.com

Don't do that, it's apparently pretty bad Adding or removing a line break should not change the way anything functions.

[Fidbeck]

That's what I thought but it shows as error lol

Is there any other place to do that?

Just try the script locally and see what the result is, a website is never going to produce a better error than php can

[Fidbeck]

I'm having some problems with that lol
I use Dreamweaver CS6 and is not configured to run PHP files... I also use WebMatrix and when I run my contact it gives me a 404.20 HTTP error page...

HTTP Error 404.20 - Not Found

some time ago I had Wamp but had to delete it because the port :80 was already being used (maybe by WebMatrix) and I couldn't make it work properly.

It's usually skype that occupies port 80, but it could also be Pando media booster or TeamViewer. Check for any of those under the processing tab in your task manager.

[Fidbeck]

The thing is that I never, ever had any of those programs installed

[Temor]

pando media booster isn't a program you install. it comes with lots of different games to enhance performance. it's not visible unless you look in the process tab in your task manager.

[Fidbeck]

This is all I have opened for now.

You can try XAMPP it's the easiest way I know of to set up a local testing thingy.

[Fidbeck]

I've already tried XAMPP in the past but since I couldn't make it work because the port it was listening was port 80 and it seems that that port was already being used. In a near future will format my HD so i'll install it then.

You should be able to edit the port it uses if you can find the config files for Apache, there will be something like

Listen 80

somewhere, just change that to an unused port.

[Fidbeck]

I only changed in the httpd.conf file everything related to any port, being the listen or for instance 127.0.0.1:80
but i'm going to format my computer in a near future so i'll try that out. In another computer I have I don't have Webmatrix or Dreamweaver installed and Xampp works nicely. I bet it's Webmatrix that is ruining this stuff
