The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

End of lines character not being recognized

Asked by arikin in PHP Scripting Language, Debian Linux

Tags: , , , ,

I am trying to use a PHP CLI script for sending out e-mail notifications.  Mail is sent and received but the /n LF character is showing up in the body as is.

The command line used is this:
php /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/mb_send_mail.php "user@domain.jp" "ALARM TEST10" "nagios@nagios-server.jp" "kanshi-kun" "Service: test.jp-HTTP\nResponse: Connection refused\nStatus: Critical\n\nHost: test.jp\nIP: xxx.xxx.xx.xx\nDate/Time:2008/08/21 11:56"

The e-mail received looks like this:
To: user@domain.jp
Subject: ALARM TEST10
MIME-Version: 1.0
From: kanshi-kun<nagios@nagios-server.jp>
Reply-To: kanshi-kun<nagios@nagios-server.jp>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-2022-JP
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Message-Id: <E1KW0Me-0000VT-Rx@nagios-server.jp>
Date: Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:57:32 +0900



Service: test.jp-HTTP\nResponse: Connection refused\nStatus: Critical\n\nHost: test.jp\nIP: xxx.xxx.xx.xx\nDate/Time:2008/08/21 11:56

I am only using php CLI because I don't know how to do encoding with /usr/bin/mail

This sends e-mail in Japanese.
 
  Usage:
    <?php echo $argv[0]; ?> <TO> <SUBJECT> <FROM-MAIL> <FROM-NAME> <BODY>
 
    <TO> Receiver mail address
    <SUBJECT> email subject
    <FROM-MAIL> Sender mail address
    <FROM-NAME> Sender Name
    <BODY> mail body text
 
    The --help, -help, -h,
    or -? options, you can get this help.
