This bug has been fixed in CVS. You can grab a snapshot of the
CVS version at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation
problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/.
In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites.
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

This is a limitation of the mail() command. Adresses in the form of
"Something <someone <email protected>>" are NOT support by the mail()
command.

The technical issue is that mail() does not parsing and while tlaking
to the MTA it simple puts the email addresse in '<' and '>' brackets
which will then look something like

"<Karel <karel <email protected>>>"

which of course doesn't work.

You have a two options to me knowledge:
1) trim down the $to field to the user <email protected> part and use the From:
custom header
2) Try if the imap_mail() command works for you, afaik it does email
address parsing.

Reclassifying as documentation problem for mail() on win32. The page
should also mention imap_mail().

The problem remains I installed the latest snap:
- php4-win32-latest.zip - 08-Aug-2002 03:26 5.3M

If you like I can give you ftp-access to the server.
Then you can try the mail routine yourself.

Sorry, should have said that earlier: please try a _non_ STABLE
snapshot.

I installed the snap (php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip - 08-Aug-2002 01:23
4.6M), but the problem remain.
