& encoding in email subject and from name
« on: November 26, 2005, 11:57:29 am »

I'm running 1.4.2 coppermine and I have an issue with emails.

The title of the coppermine gallery is "Richard & Vivian"

When sending emails. eg password reminders, welcome emails, ecards etc. the email subject for example has an string & in it instead of &

For example: "Richard & Vivians Fotoalbums - New password request"

I think this is because of the general encoding, imho it should not encode in emails. As a wokaround i made the following change to mailer.inc.php at line 80

Original code

   $mail->FromName = $sender_name;
   $mail->Subject = $subject;

Replaced with new code

   $sender_name = str_replace("&", "&", $sender_name);
   $mail->FromName = $sender_name;
   $subject = str_replace("&", "&", $subject);
   $mail->Subject = $subject;

I split Titooy's report and merged it with a more related thread.

I confirmed this issue in 1.4.9 from svn.

I think the answer is in modifying include/mailer.inc.php by adding html_entity_decode() in the right place(s). Problem is I can't tell where.

I guess it's the same location as Flagg's suggested fix.

FIND:
Code: [Select]
   $mail->FromName = $sender_name;
   $mail->Subject = $subject;
   $mail->Body = $msg_body;

REPLACE with:
Code: [Select]
   $mail->FromName = html_entity_decode($sender_name);
   $mail->Subject = html_entity_decode($subject);
   $mail->Body = html_entity_decode($msg_body);

I'm guessing that that is all that needs to be replace. At least when I tested with the forgot password form, it looked fine. I didn't know what else to test with. The ecard email worked fine without the fix.

This needs to be confirmed with another dev.

Guess so - this thread is identical to the other one that got fixed. Marking this one accordingly.
