postfix and CRLF

Hi guys,

I am running postfix and I hit a few roadblocks with the way emails are displyed. The bottom line is that I needed to modify a few cgi and php scripts the way that they send

\n as CRLF

instead of \r\n as CRLF, which is I think standard. Does anyone know how to change that in postfix, so that I don't have to modify all my scripts?

Cheers

Stuart

Hi. The normal way to get rid of this (in the scripts themselves), would be something like;

$var =~ s/\n$//;
$var =~ s/\r$//;

...or possibly;

$var =~ s/\n\r$//;

The amount of times a \r\n sneaking in on my data import scripts/plugins has cost me hours of debugging time, is unbelievable :(

Hope that helps.

Cheers

Code:
$var =~ s/\n\r$//;

You have that back to front :)

Code:
$var =~ s/\r?\n//sg;

Note you will need the sg if you want to parse a string globally.

Yeah, I left that out (forgot it was going to potentially have data passed to it, which will have multiple line/form feeds).
