I created a script that reads information from a database, applies that information to address the e-mail and insert the user's name and password into the text of the message (doing an on-line survey for a client).

The code is very basic and has worked well on two different projects. The problem I have concerns the message text. The URL is hardcoded in the message text. The message text is assigned to a variable. The URL was encoded as

HTTP://www.somesite.com/somepage

but appears in a handful of messages as

HTTP://wwwsomesite.com/somepage

There are no special characters being read from the database.

I have not been able to find any pattern to the occurence.

Have any of you encountered this behavior? Any help understanding this would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The text assigned to $msg is significantly longer than posted here

Thanks again
