Hi all

I'm trying to send an automated email of a zip file.  However it seems to be just reading the files into the body of the mail rather than attaching a single zip archive containing several files.

I receive the mails, but I effectively want a blank message body with a zip file attached.

Please see code below, any ideas why this is not working.  I'm a bit of a newbie and never used this before so any pointers would be good.

<?php
//Send Zip file as attachment

//Set Email and attachment details
$to = "me@123.com";
$from = "Visionnet <DO_NOT_REPLY>";
$subject = "Subject";
$message = "Please see attached file";
$fileatt = "wiki_zip.zip";
$fileatt_type = "application/zip";
$fileatt_name = "wiki_zip.zip";


//Read in the attachment
$file=fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data=fread($file,filesize( $fileatt));
fclose($file);

//Add the MIME content

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the Headers for file attachment

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . 
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . 
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$message = "This is a multipart message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";

//Base64 encode file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

//Add attachment to message

$message .= "--{mime_boundary}\n" . 
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . 
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . 
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . 
" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . 
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
$data . "\n\n" . 
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

//Send message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "$from");
if($ok)
{
echo "mail sent";
}
else
{
echo "mail failed";
}

?>

hi need some help, the following PHP script on my website has stopped working without me editing it :

  <?php
if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

// CHANGE THE TWO LINES BELOW
$email_to = "contact@myemail.com";

$email_subject = "enquiry";


function died($error) {
// your error code can go here
echo "Sorry, but errors were found in the form you submitted.<br /><br />";
echo $error."<br /><br />";
echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
die();
}

// validation expected data exists
if(!isset($_POST['full_name']) ||
!isset($_POST['email']) ||
!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||
!isset($_POST['comments'])) {
died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');
}

$first_name = $_POST['full_name']; // required
$email_from = $_POST['email']; // required
$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required
$comments = $_POST['comments']; // required

$error_message = "";
$email_exp = '/^[A-Za-z0-9._%-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4}$/';
if(!preg_match($email_exp,$email_from)) {
$error_message .= 'The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.<br /><br />';
}
$string_exp = "/^[A-Za-z .'-]+$/";
if(!preg_match($string_exp,$first_name)) {
$error_message .= 'The Full Name you entered does not appear to be valid.<br /><br />';
}
if(strlen($comments) < 2) {
$error_message .= 'The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid.';
}
if(strlen($error_message) > 0) {
died($error_message);
}
$email_message = "Form details below.\n\n";

function clean_string($string) {
$bad = array("content-type","bcc:","to:","cc:","href");
return str_replace($bad,"",$string);
}

$email_message .= "Full Name: ".clean_string($first_name)."\n";
$email_message .= "Email: ".clean_string($email_from)."\n";
$email_message .= "Telephone: ".clean_string($telephone)."\n";
$email_message .= "Comments: ".clean_string($comments)."\n";


// create email headers
$headers = 'From: '.$email_from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$email_from."\r\n" .

@mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
?>

<?php
}
die();
?>  

which was working with the following form:


  <form name="htmlform" method="post" action="contact_uk.php">

<table style="background-color:whitesmoke; border:1px solid black; border-collapse:collapse" ;="" width="542px">


<tbody><tr>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center; font-family:calibri" valign="top">
<label for="first_name">Full Name *</label>
</td>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center" valign="top">
<input name="full_name" maxlength="50" size="30" type="text">
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center; font-family:calibri" valign="top">
<label for="email">Email Address *</label>
</td>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center" valign="top">
<input name="email" maxlength="80" size="30" type="text">
</td>

</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center; font-family:calibri" valign="top">
<label for="telephone">Telephone Number</label>
</td>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center" valign="top">
<input name="telephone" maxlength="30" size="30" type="text">
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center; font-family:calibri" valign="middle">
<label for="comments">Message *</label>
</td>
<td style="border:1px solid black; text-align:center" valign="top">
<textarea name="comments" maxlength="1000" cols="22" rows="6"></textarea>
</td>


</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align:center">
<input value="Submit" type="submit">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</form>  

Now, I have tried the following test script found here (http://myphpform.com...not-working.php) and it does not work :
  <?php
$from = "contact@myemail.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
echo mail ("admin@awardspace.com" ,"testmailfunction" , "Oj",$headers);
?>  

so I have then contacted my Host which replied as follows:

  when you send emails by scripts and it is that our SMTP server requires authentication in order to send emails out. By using one of the emails that exist in the control panel as a sender/"from" header, you will be able to authenticate yourself and the SMTP server will send without problems.

and provided this script, which works:

  <?
$from = "From: You <contact@myemail.com>";
$to = "anymail@hotmail.com";
$subject = "Hi2! ";
$body = "TEST";

if(mail($to,$subject,$body,$from)) echo "MAIL - OK";
else echo "MAIL FAILED";
?>  
so can someone help me fix the code in the first quote I posted based on this last working one ?

A few things maybe worth a mention:
- previously, about a few weeks back, this form (first two quotes) was working perfectly as I've posted it and sending emails to my hotmail account without a hitch...
- in the quotes "contact@myemail.com" is actually the domain email I have with the host

thanks to anyone kind enough to help out...

This is completely different code than my change password script thread.  This is not double posting.

Whenever I use this script to change my email, it just changes the email to nothing (blank).  What could be wrong with it?  Help is hugely appreciated.  I know you don't have to use your valuable time to help me.

<?php

// I removed the connect to db part

session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$newemail = $_POST['newemail'];
$confirmnewemail = $_POST['confirmnewemail'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE username='$username'");
if($email!= mysql_result($result, 0))
{
echo "The email address you entered is incorrect.";
}
if($newemail==$confirmnewemail)
    $sql=mysql_query("UPDATE members SET email='$newemail' where username='$username'");
    if($sql)
    {
    echo "You have successfully changed your email address.";
    }
else
{
echo "The new email and confirm new email fields were different.";
}
?>

I've created a script to remove duplicate emails and it works perfectly up to about 20k. After that it just stops with no error code. I'm baffled. I've increased the max_execution_time to 2 hours even though this script just takes a few minutes.


<?PHP
function validElement($element) {
    return strlen($element) > 1;
}

function in_iarray($str, $a){
foreach($a as $v){
if(strcasecmp($str, $v)==0){return true;}
}
return false;
}

remove_duplicates();
}
//Remove more duplicates from list
function array_iunique($a){
$n = array();
foreach($a as $k=>$v){
if(!in_iarray($v, $n)){
echo $v;
$n[$k]=$v;}
}
return $n;
}

//Remove duplicates from list
function remove_duplicates() {

$p = 0;
while ($p != 1) {
   
$rawemaillist = array_values(array_filter($rawemaillist, "validElement"));
$p = 1;
}
$initial = count($rawemaillist);
$k = 0;
while ($k != 1) {
$rawemaillist = array_iunique($rawemaillist);
$k = 1;
}
?>


The script works fine - but only up to around 20 k - which leads me to believe its a server setting issue. Is there something in the php.ini file I should or otherwise a setting that I should be looking at to change???

What am I doing wrong? All I want is a flash and php email form working.

At best i get the elements emailed surrounded by all the html formatiing tags makign it impossible to head or only a few (ie messahe and phone) show up in email sent or more often nothign gets sent at all.

In the flash filn I have a send button with

Code: [Select]
onClipEvent(data){
_root.nextFrame();
}

actioned on the form  movie in flash

And

Code: [Select]
on(release){

form.loadVariables("email_send.php", "POST");
}
script on the send button.

The movie where the form is places has 5 fields made with input text
with

Instant names:

Inp_Name
Inp_Department
Inp_Email
Inp_Phone
Inp_Message


their variables are;

name
dept
email
phone
message

Also in the properties theya re all set to HTML rednering is set to off

and the webssite is www.chriscreativity.com

Why does it not work at all and if it does how do I loose the htmal formings crap and get it to work please

I really need some help.  I am very new to PHP and I've been stuck for a couple of days.  I created a contact form and everything seems to be working correctly, except the mail is showing it's sent, but I never receive an email in my Inbox or Spam folder.  Can someone please review my code?

i wanting users to be able to update there email address and check to see if the new email already exists. if the email is the same as current email ignore the check.
i have no errors showing up but if I enter a email already in the db it still accepts the new email instead of bringing the back the error message.
Code: [Select]
// email enterd from form //
$email=$_POST['email'];


$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE inv='$ivn' ") or die (mysql_error());
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $queryuser )) {
  $check=$info['email'];
 // gets current email //
}


if($check!=$email){
// if check not equal to $email check the new email address already exists//
$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' ");
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser);
if($checkuser != 0)
{
$error= "0";
header('LOCATION:../pages/myprofile.php?id='.$error.'');


}
}
