Variable or email limit?

Is there a character limit that the mail() can send or maybe a limit of variable size? I am trying to send an html email and it cuts it off. Any one have some insight on this issue?

Re: Variable or email limit?

Any code? Is it in the middle of the email? or at a boundary?

Re: Variable or email limit?

Ok what im doing is allowing clients to enter text or html into a form with a textarea and then they can preview their info the entered before the send the email out. magic qoutes is turned on so I assume anywhere there is an apostrophe there would be a \. I then stripslashes when I send the email out but it gets cut off at this place the season at New York's . Im assuming because of the apostrophe.

Code below is the problematic HTML

Below ithis post is my code:

Feel free to tell me how to fix this issue and maybe how to improve the code :)

Re: Variable or email limit?

The SMTP protocol requires that a line does nto exceed 76 characters. Use the chunk_split() function to split the lines. Also, I would base 64 encode the message body if it is HTML.

You can improve you code as follows:

Do not echo HTML oputput. Leave all HTML outside the PHP processing instructions <?php ?>
Separate the HTML from the queries. They should not be mixed up. Preferrable separat them into different files.
Do not use tables for layout in HTML. Use CSS instead.
When you call a function ensure you use () i.e: session_start();
Lastly, make sure you Woolworth new Designyour code.
