Garbage Emails

[youngan]

I keep getting garbage in my order receipt and order status change. Anyone else getting this and how can I fix it?

 

 

Here is another...

 

 

I'm using the phpMailer

require_once(DIR_WS_CLASSES . "class.phpmailer.php");

$pMail = new PHPMailer();

$pMail->From	 = $from_addr;
$pMail->FromName = $from_name;

$pMail->IsSMTP();
$pMail->Host	 = "mySMTP"	// replaced with my smtp server
$pMail->Username = "myUsername";	// replaced with mysmtp username (if SMTPAuth is true)
$pMail->Password = "myPassword";		// replaced with mysmtp password (if SMTPAuth is true)
$pMail->SMTPAuth = true;			// true/false - turn on/off smtp authentication

$pMail->Subject = $subject;
$pMail->Body	= $this->output;
$pMail->AltBody = $this->output;
$pMail->AddAddress($to_addr, $to_name);
$pMail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]", "Picnic Basket Supply");
$pMail->WordWrap = 50; 
$pMail->IsHTML(true);

return $pMail->Send();

$pMail->ClearAddresses();
$pMail->ClearAttachments();

 

Also, I'm using the email contribution EmailInv1_1.

 

// lets start with the email confirmation
 if (EMAIL_INVOICE == 'true') {
  require(DIR_WS_MODULES . EMAIL_INVOICE_DIR . FILENAME_EMAIL_INVOICE);
 } else {
 $email_order = STORE_NAME . "\n" . 
			 EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
			 EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $insert_id . "\n" .
			 EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n" .
			 EMAIL_TEXT_DATE_ORDERED . ' ' . strftime(DATE_FORMAT_LONG) . "\n\n";
 if ($order->info['comments']) {
$email_order .= $order->info['comments'] . "\n\n";
 }
 $email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PRODUCTS . "\n" . 
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" . 
			  $products_ordered . 
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";

 for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($order_totals); $i++) {
$email_order .= strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['title']) . ' ' . strip_tags($order_totals[$i]['text']) . "\n";
 }

 $email_order .= "\n" . EMAIL_TEXT_DELIVERY_ADDRESS . "\n" . 
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
			  tep_address_label($customer_id, $sendto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n" .
			  EMAIL_TEXT_BILLING_ADDRESS . "\n" .
			  EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n" .
			  tep_address_label($customer_id, $billto, 0, '', "\n") . "\n\n";
 if (is_object($$payment)) {
$email_order .= EMAIL_TEXT_PAYMENT_METHOD . "\n" . 
				EMAIL_SEPARATOR . "\n";
$payment_class = $$payment;
$email_order .= $payment_class->title . "\n\n";
if ($payment_class->email_footer) { 
  $email_order .= $payment_class->email_footer . "\n\n";
}
 }
 tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, nl2br($email_order), STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, '');

 

It's driving me crazy! It seems to be encoding wrong or something.

Anyone????? Please Help!!!

Found something interesting...

 

It puts an equal sign and a space every 76 character.

 

Manually changing the email output for testing to

 

01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789

0123456789

 

Gives me an "= " on the 76 character. I've added numbers and it is still every 76th.

 

012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234= 567890123456789

 

Any ideas?

Encoding and all the caveats and standards of email are not my forte, but here's something that might be of interest.

 

Read the bit about Quoted-Printable: http://www.livinginternet.com/e/eu_config.htm

 

Following that, more on encoding: http://www.helpdesk.umd.edu/topics/email/protocols/315/

 

Try adding

 

$pMail->Encoding='8bit';

 

to the 1st code file you posted.

That did the trick! Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I tried 7bit, 8bit, and base64, and 7bit seemed to do the trick.

 

I changed in admin/includes/classes/email.php and /includes/classes/email.php line 59

 

From:

 

$this->build_params['html_encoding'] = 'quoted-printable';

 

To:

 

$this->build_params['html_encoding'] = '7bit';
