My problems with Net_NNTP

[sff11i@gmail.com]

I always get error messages regarding the "from" address field even
though it looks correct to me, e.g.
news.php.net says "posting failed - invalid from"
news.ntlworld.c om says "Posting Failed ("From" Header not in Internet
Syntax.)"

Versions:
PHP 5.0.5
Net_NNTP 1.1.2

Full Code:
<?php

require_once 'Net/NNTP/Client.php';

$nntp = new Net_NNTP_Client ();

$nntp->setDebug();

$nntp->connect('news. php.net');

$subject = "Testpost";
$newsgroup = "alt.binaries.t est";
$body = "test";
$from = "test@example.c om";

$response = $nntp->post($subjec t, $newsgroup, $from, $body);

var_dump($respo nse);

?>

You've got the parameters in the wrong order.

/**
* Post an article to a number of newsgroups.
*
* (Among the aditional headers you might think of adding could be:
* "NNTP-Posting-Host: <ip-of-author>", which should contain the IP-address
* of the author of the post, so the message can be traced back to him.
* Or "Organizati on: <org>" which contain the name of the organization
* the post originates from)
*
* @param string $newsgroups The newsgroup to post to.
* @param string $subject The subject of the post.
* @param string $body The body of the post itself.
* @param string $from Name + email-adress of sender.
* @param optional string $aditional Aditional headers to send.
*
* @return mixed (string) server response on success or (object) pear_error
on failure
* @access public
*/
function post($newsgroup s, $subject, $body, $from, $aditional = null)
{
return $this->cmdPost($newsg roups, $subject, $body, $from, $aditional);
}

Thanks Andy, I had copied the faulty code from Example 46-1:

http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.networking.net-nntp.ancient.post.php

Didn't notice it was deprecated :)
