Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be?

here is the block of code that sends the email
Thanks in advance
Code: [Select]
$image = "http://www.visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form/images/email.png";
echo "got to process form";
$target_path = "upload/";                   
$path = $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']);                 
$boundary = '-----=' . md5( uniqid ( rand() ) );

$message .= "Content-Type: application/msword; name=\"my attachment\"\n";
$message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n";
$message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$path\"\n\n";


echo $path;
$fp = fopen($path, 'r');
do //we loop until there is no data left
{
$data = fread($fp, 8192);
if (strlen($data) == 0) break;
$content .= $data;
  } while (true);
$content_encode = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
$message .= $content_encode . "\n";
$message .= "--" . $boundary . "\n";
$message .= $image . "<br />" . $_POST['name'] . "submitted a resume on our website. Please review the applications and contact the candidate if their resume is a fit for any open opportunities with the company. <br><br> Thank you. <br><br> SEI Team";

$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\"";
mail('george@visualrealityink.com', 'Email with attachment from PHP', $headers, $message);

Hiya,

Firstly, I'm a complete novice, apologies! But I have got my upload.php working which is nice. I will post the code below.

However, I would now like to restrict the file size and file type to only word documents.

I currently have a restriction of 200KB but it's not working - no idea why as I've looked at other similar codes and they look the same.

Also, just to complicate things - can I stop files overwriting each other when uploaded? At the moment, if 2 people upload files with the same name one will overwrite the other.

Is this too many questions in 1?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Code below:

Code: [Select]
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="careers.php" method="POST">
        Please choose a file: <input name="uploaded" type="file" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Upload" />
</form>

<?php 
 $target = "upload/"; 
 $target = $target . basename( $_FILES['uploaded']['name']) ; 
 $ok=1; 
 
 //This is our size condition 
 if ($uploaded_size > 200) 
 { 
 echo "Your file is too large.<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //This is our limit file type condition 
 if ($uploaded_type =="text/php") 
 { 
 echo "No PHP files<br>"; 
 $ok=0; 
 } 
 
 //Here we check that $ok was not set to 0 by an error 
 if ($ok==0) 
 { 
 Echo "Sorry your file was not uploaded"; 
 } 
 
 //If everything is ok we try to upload it 
 else 
 { 
 if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploaded']['tmp_name'], $target)) 
 { 
 echo "Your file ". basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded."; 
 } 
 else 
 { 
 echo "Sorry, there was a problem uploading your file."; 
 } 
 } 
 ?>

Folks,

I am building a membership script for 21 months now!!! That long!!!
Anyway, I need members to say infront of their cams a few things and then upload the vid file to the site (from the confirm_id.php page) where the member's sponsor (recruiter) will get the video copy to check if it's the real person with the real personal details or not. If true details, then sponsor verifies the member account. Else, unverifies it.
Now, I been testing my code. I uploaded an mp4 file. That should be ok but I get echoed:
"There was a problem uploading your video file $file_name! Make sure your file is an MP4 or a WAV file. You may try again now." 
Why ?

Not pasting the whole script as really long. Would do your head in.
Only pasting relevant part:

if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST") 
    { 
        if(!isset($_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]))  //REtype
        { 
            echo "no isset";
        }
        else 
        { 
            $id_verification_video_file = $_FILES['id_verification_video_file']; //REtype
            //Feed Id Video Verification File Upload Directory Path. 
            $directory_path = "uploads/videos/id_verifications/"; 
            //Make Directory under $user in 'uploads/videos/id_verifications' Folder. 
            if(!is_dir("$directory_path" . "$user")) 
            { 
                $mode = "0777"; 
                mkdir("$directory_path" . "$user", "$mode", TRUE); //Thanks Requinix for my "$mode" typo hint.
            } 
            
            //Grab Uploading File details. 
            $Errors = Array(); //SHOULD I KEEP THIS LINE OR NOT ?
            $file_name = $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["name"]; 
            $file_tmp = $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["tmp_name"]; 
            $file_type = $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["type"]; 
            $file_size = $_FILES["id_verification_video_file"]["size"]; 
            $file_error = $_FILES['id_verification_video_file']['error']; 
            
            //Grab File Extension details. 
            $file_extension = pathinfo($file_name, PATHINFO_EXTENSION); 
            if(file_exists('$directory_path' . '$user/' . '$file_name')) 
            { 
                $Errors[] = "Error: You have already uploaded a video file to verify your ID!"; 
                exit(); 
            } 
            else

                $max_file_size_allowed_in_kilobytes = 1024*100;

                    exit(); 
                } 
                //Verify File Size. Allowed Max Limit: 100MB. 
                elseif($file_size>$max_file_size_allowed) die("Error: Your Video File Size is larger than the allowed limit of: $max_file_size_allowed_in_megabytes."); //Fixed variable name typo. Thanks to Requinix & Simon JM. 
                //Move uploaded File to newly created directory on the server. 
                move_uploaded_file("file_tmp","$directory_path" . "$user/" . "$file_name"); 
                //Notify user their File was uploaded successfully.

Can you spot my coding error ?
Any other errors ?
How-about you show me code sample how you'd do it better and simpler with as much less lines of codes as possible ?

Hey guys,

I know nothing of PHP so please bare with me as I try to explain my problem.

My company collects sales leads that are emailed through to a CRM system (GoldMine). We are currently in the process of moving our website from a shared windows server to a dedicated linux server and it seems to be causing a problem with the form, or at least PHP behind it. The guy who handed the initial set up has mysteriously disapeared so we're in a bit of a fix.

I'm not specifically looking for a solution, more of an idea of where to go from here. I'm not sure wether the problem lies in the PHP itself or something else.. like the server for example. I was hoping someone here might be able to point me in the right direction somewhat.

Anyway, the problem is that while testing the form on the new server the email is sent and our CRM picks it up but cannot read because a newly appeared line has been inserted at the top of the body. This does not appear when filling in the form currently live on our site (windows server).

the line is:

Code: [Select]
Content-Type: text/x-gm-impdata
As far as I'm aware this content-type is necessary for our CMR to recognize and read the email, but it shouldn't be showing up in the body of the mail.

The full on send PHP is:

Code: [Select]
<?php

$redirectURL = "http://www.website.co.uk/confirmation_page.htm";

function Decode($strValueIn)
{
//Do not modify this function!
$intX = 0;

$intMod =0;
$intTemp = 0;
$ValueOut = "";
$intY = 1;
$strValueOut="";
for ($intX=1; $intX<=((strlen($strValueIn)/2)/2); $intX=$intX+1)
  {

    $strTemp="";
    $strMod="";
    if (($intX % 2)==0)
    {

      $strMod=substr(substr($strValueIn,$intY-1,4),0,2);
      $strTemp=substr(substr($strValueIn,$intY-1,4),strlen(substr($strValueIn,$intY-1,4))-(2));

Please would somebody be able to show me or give me some tips as to how I go about getting an email to send in my php code?

$headers = 'From: me@me.com' . "\r\n" .    'Reply-To: me@me.com' . "\r\n" .    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$first = $_GET['first'];
$last = $_GET['last'];
$town = $_GET['town'];
$telephone = $_GET['telephone'];
$code = $_GET['postcode'];
$shortcode = substr($code,0,2);
$query =mysql_query ("SELECT email FROM treesurgeons WHERE postcode like '%" . $shortcode . "%' ORDER BY companyName LIMIT 3");
echo mysql_error();
echo "<p>The email addresses you have requested are;</p>";
while($ntx=mysql_fetch_row($query)) $nt[] = $ntx[0];
echo "$nt[0]<br>$nt[1]<br>$nt[2]<br>"; 
$message = "$first . $last, from $town has searched for your details.<br>You may contact them on $telephone. <br> Thankyou.";
$subject = "You Showed Up In The Tree Directory!";
$email = "$nt[0],$nt[1],$nt[2]";
$to = "$email";
mail( "$to", "$subject","$message", "$headers");
?></body></html>

Hey folks,

I made a small shopping cart but I struggle with receiving an email with the orders;

Hello

Im making html mail for my project. However the mail() function of PHP does not send my email.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$message = '
<html>
<head>
  <title>Test Email</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h4>This is a test email message from me</h4>
  <br/>
  <p><b>Lorem Ipsum<b><br/> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</p>
</body>
</html>
';

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$headers .= 'To: me <darkstarnexus@yahoo.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Sample <sample@mail.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: Sample2 <sample2@mail>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: sample3@mail' . "\r\n";

if(mail('darkstarnexus@yahoo.com', 'Test Html Email', $message, $headers)){
echo "mail delivered";
}else{echo "mail is not delivered";}
?>

Can some tell me why?

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the $header variable. I am trying to extract the value from the $name method and included with the $email method.

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);


if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);


if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



Something got to do with this line:

$header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";

My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address.


Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with?

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

Okay, below is my mailer for a contact form i created. On one site it works fine. I even have it sending to several addresses from the othersite. However this site it doesnt want to work. PHP5 and mail() function is active.


<?php 
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['fullname'])); 
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); 
$EmailTo = "james@jd-creations.co.uk";
$Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject'])); 
$answer = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['answer'])); 
$Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); 
$Subject = "The Reason - Contact Us";

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($answer)!=="20") $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Name)=="")    $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Comments)=="")  $validationOK=false;
if (Trim($Subject)=="")   $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error2.php\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $EmailFrom;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Comments: ";
$Body .= $Comments;
$Body .= "\n";

// send email 
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// redirect to success page 
if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/sent.php\">";
}
else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error.php\">";
}
?>


now i know it is wroking because it takes me to the sent.php page. not error.php

i think it worked once. now not at all.

Say I have an email info@website.com created in cPanel on a web hosting company.

I want to send email notifications to users on my website. I am using PHP Mailer to send the emails. But all the emails go directly into their junk box/spam folder, unless they confirm that info@website.com is not junk.

I am wondering if there is a work around for this?

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to send email with the mail() function as per instructions at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php without success. The mail sends but when it arrives it doesn't render properly, I see all of the html tags with the data that's sent. My code is below:

Code: [Select]

Thanks in advance for all replies,

Hi, I'm pretty new to PHP and I am working on a form that sends and email. I want to display a message if the mail can't be sent (i.e. if mail() returns false) and a different message if mail() returns true, except it is returning false even though the emails are sending.


Basically I have used:

$to = 'myemail@email.com';
$subject = "Subject Line Goes here";
$headers = "From: $email";
$message = 'My message';

$mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

In testing it I have used the following to determine what is going on:

   if (isset($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; } - echo's nothing
   if ($mailSent == FALSE) { echo '$mailSent = FALSE'; } - echo's '$mailSent = FALSE'
   if ($mailSent == TRUE) { echo '$mailSent = TRUE'; } - echo's nothing
   if (is_null($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent = NULL'; } - echo's '$mailSent = NULL'
   echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; - echo's '$mailSent ='

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Hello,
I have some troubles to send mass email. I am using mail() function and the script is timed out.
also there is a restriction in which you allowed to send 20 mails per minute.
so I use sleep(5) to delay 5 seconds between every mail, but the script is exceeded timeout.
Adding this: set_time_limit(0); will still not work.

maybe can I set a background thread? if so please tell me how to.
Also, if there is a built in script that can help me with that, I would like to hear about it.
Thanks =]

When I test my php, all of the errors work, but when I actually want to send an email the form doesnt go through and I get the error message 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'? I think I may have something wrong in my mail function.

Code: [Select]
<?php
if (empty($_POST['author']))
{
$errors[] = 'Please enter a name';
}
if (empty($_POST['subject']))
{
$errors[] = 'Please enter a subject';
}

if (empty($_POST['text']))
{
$errors[] = 'Please enter your comments.';
}

if (empty($_POST['email']))
{
$errors[] = 'Please enter an e-mail';
}
else if (!preg_match("^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,3})$ ^", $_POST['email']))
{
$errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address';
}
if (count($errors) == 0)
{
// Process form
mail("solysol05@gmail.com","Subject: subject",
text,"From: author <email>");

echo "Thank you for using our mail form.<br/>";
echo "Your email has been sent.";
}
else
{
echo $errors[0];
}

?>
