send php mail with spaces in subject

I am sending mail using php mail function with a subject like 'my subject' but it doesn't work until I replace the space like 'my_subject"


Does anyone know why that would be?

 

It should work with spaces in subject. Are you sure that that's the problem?

 

I have sent with spaces before so I know it works but in this case it wont

The above only works if I take the spaces out of the subject......I don't get it

 

Remove the headers and try to send plain text mail. See if that works. The charset you specified may be causing the problem.

 

I already tried as plain text too and that didn't work.

 

Have you tried making the subject in HTML? For example, use   for the spaces?

If that works, take a look at the htmlentities function http://php.net/manual/en/function.htmlentities.php

 

I finally got it to work. The problem was I was putting in \n and ' in the the body of the message . Somehow and I don't know why but if there were spaces in the subject with those in the body it would not work. I have since moved to using the phpmailer class.

 

It should work with spaces in subject.

 

I think you should try using single quote instead of double quote in most of the cases it doesnt require something special to add space between the variable values
