You don't need to worry about the first block of code. XOT is handling
that from the entry for 'headers' in the database via this line:
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n",
$row['headers']);
This:
MIME-Version:1.0*Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8*From:
YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com*Reply-To: YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com
should go into the XOT sites table In the headers column, or in the
config.php file, where you are supposed to enter the email headers value
(replacing 'YourFromAddress at example.com" with an appropriate email
address). Someone with a working XOT install should be able to tell you
exactly where that goes. I'm just inferring here from the XOT code, as I
don't have XOT installed.

Thank you, Paul. I really appreciate your help - and Tom, Pat, and
everyone else who is trying to solve this problem.
I'm afraid I'm really not a PHP programmer at all: I muddle through and
paste bits of code in the places people tell me and it either works like
magic or it doesn't! I'm not getting any support with from our
technical staff here as they won't support anything to do with PHP L
But a few of us are keen to get XOT working on our own as we see how
much potential it has for learning - but we are having to do it quietly
and unsupported. All I really want is to get the feedback form to send
emails to me (in whatever way we can) as it seems like a really handy
way for our academic staff and students to communicate how they are
using XOT and to let me know any problems they encounter.
So with that in mind, where should I put the code you've provided?
Where does this need to be? :
// define headers
$headers = "MIME-Version:1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: MyFromAddress at example.com\r\nReply-To:
MyFromAddress at example.com \r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
And where does this need to be? :
MIME-Version:1.0*Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8*From:
YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com*Reply-To: YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com
Thanks again!

I don't have XOT installed, but I do a fair amount of PHP programming.
When I send HTML mail via PHP, I use the following:
// define headers
$headers = "MIME-Version:1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: MyFromAddress at example.com\r\nReply-To:
MyFromAddress at example.com \r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
It appears from the XOT code that your headers information is stored in
a database, and from the discussion thread, it seems to me that your
database doesn't have an entry for headers. You might give the following
a try:
MIME-Version:1.0*Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8*From:
YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com*Reply-To: YourFromAddress at yourDomain.com
I would skip the X-Mailer parameter. It's not required and you would
have to hard-code the PHP version instead of using the PHP function
call.
Cheers,
Paul

Thanks for your help Tom. Still can't get it work here, though.
I've attached a screenshot of the contents of my management.php and
copied what I have in config.php and the error logs below.
This is what is now in config.php:
/**
* Email settings
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->site_email_account =
$row['site_email_account'];
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n",
$row['headers']);
$xerte_toolkits_site->email_to_add_to_username =
$row['email_to_add_to_username'];
/**
* RSS Proxy settings
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->proxy1 = $row['proxy1'];
$xerte_toolkits_site->port1 = $row['port1'];
/**
* Set up the feedback list from the feedback page
*/
$xerte_toolkits_site->feedback_list = $row['feedback_list'];
And this is what I have in the error log after submitting something in
the feedback form on the logged in page:
mail() on [D:\shared\xerte\website_code\php\error_library.php:185]: To:
simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk <mailto:simon2.carter at uwe.ac.uk> -- Headers:

Had a look, and it's complicated...
1. I had to fix config.php, the line where the headers are set:
Change
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = $row['headers'];
in
$xerte_toolkits_site->headers = str_replace("*", "\r\n",
$row['headers']); (Line 194 in my installation)
2. The list of people who have to receive the feedback should be set in
the feedback list (Last item of the Site settings) 3. The site email
account is as of yet unclear to me 4. An example of the headers is
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1*From: XOT <reijnders at tor.nl
<mailto:reijnders at tor.nl> >
5. The site email to add to username is the email domain name that is
added to a xot username in the case of peer to peer feedback of a user
to another user.
This is working for me.
Regards,
Tom
