PHP - Mail() With Remote Smtp On Linux Not Windows

Hi, I'm not totally sure if this is the right section for this question but...

I have my dev environment (my laptop) - windows vista, apache web server, also using my laptop as a client.

I have my php project on the web server, I go to the login page in my browser (IE8) and login in, if it's valid it reloads the page with the user detail etc..it works.

I've moved it onto a linux server (i think it still uses apache), I go to the login page in my browser (IE8) and login in. A blank page is displayed BUT if i hit refresh the user detail is displayed as expected.
Also if I logout, again a blank page (it should display the login page) but when I hit refresh this time, it stays blank.

I won't post my code just yet as I was wondering if anyone ever had the same issue before?

Windows..works ok, Linux..doesn't work ok till refresh, but even then that doesn't work for the logout.
My other thought is that it may work ok in windows because everythings on my laptop as in c:/php and the web server.

Not much to go on I know but it may ring a bell with someone.

thanks

I need to copy php files from remote linux (apache) server to windows usb drive. I am using php windows but the files were created in php under linux.   Do I just download them or do I need to do something to make this work  

I use my desktop (Windows) to make websites and then once it's completed transfer to my Linux server but I've come across a weird issue.

On Windows the file location is like this:

C:\Server\Apache\htdocs\RSCEmulation

On Linux the file location is like this:

/home/rscemulation/public_html

Now in those folders I have a folder called 'include', in that I have 2 files: header.php, functions.php

In the base folder I have index.php. I then include header.php by using: include "include/header.php";

Then I include functions.php (from header.php) by using: include "functions.php";

Now on Linux this chucks an error, even with "./functions.php" -- I have to use include "include/functions.php" even though I'm already in that directory from the file I'm calling it from, although admittedly the file is being included from the directory below but this works fine on Windows with a base PHP install.

This Linux box was given to me and I'm not sure if any PHP settings have been changed or not.

I also have a config.php that I keep below the public directory (htdocs or public_html) but it won't let me include it on the Linux server by using "../../config.php" (I've tried all levels ranging from 0-5 with no luck)

Can anyone shed some light on this please? I need it to work the same both on the Windows and Linux boxes as I copy and paste the files regularly and it's annoying changing them!

Cheers.

Hi,

I have the following code:


Code: [Select]

<?
Header("content-type: application/x-javascript");
function returnimages($dirname="./windows/prezentare_jpg/") {
$files = array();
$curimage=0;
if($handle = opendir($dirname)) {
while(false !== ($file = readdir($handle))){
if(preg_match('/.jpg$/i', $file)){
echo 'galleryarray['.$curimage.']="'.$file .'";';
$curimage++;
}
}
closedir($handle);
}
return($files);
}
echo 'var galleryarray=new Array();';
returnimages();
?>


Ran on windows (xampp 1.7.7, PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21) it returns the correct alfabetical/numerical order:

Code: [Select]
var galleryarray=new Array();galleryarray[0]="01.jpg";galleryarray[1]="02.jpg";galleryarray[2]="03.jpg";galleryarray[3]="04.jpg";galleryarray[4]="05.jpg";galleryarray[5]="06.jpg";galleryarray[6]="07.jpg";galleryarray[7]="08.jpg";galleryarray[8]="09.jpg";galleryarray[9]="10.jpg";galleryarray[10]="11.jpg";galleryarray[11]="12.jpg";


Ran on linux (PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21) it returns an incorrect order:

Code: [Select]

var galleryarray=new Array();galleryarray[0]="06.jpg";galleryarray[1]="01.jpg";galleryarray[2]="08.jpg";galleryarray[3]="10.jpg";galleryarray[4]="04.jpg";galleryarray[5]="11.jpg";galleryarray[6]="05.jpg";galleryarray[7]="03.jpg";galleryarray[8]="07.jpg";galleryarray[9]="09.jpg";galleryarray[10]="02.jpg";galleryarray[11]="12.jpg";


I need the script to run correctly on the linux server.
What could be the problem? What can i try?

Hello,

Something that's been really bugging me the last days is a problem in PHP, the mail(); function, so here goes.

First, my script:

Code: [Select]
$to = "valid@hotmail.com";
$subject ="contact form";
$body = "Hello, you have been contacted";
$from = "$_POST['email'];
$headers = 'From : valid@hotmail.com'."\r\n".'Reply-To: valid@hotmail.com';
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo "worked";
} else {
echo "didn't work";
}

I'm using Ubuntu linux and have set up an SMTP server like so:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install postfix
And configured it.

I have also forwarded TCP port 25 to the server.

Problem: I run the script and it echos 'worked', meaning that there was no error. However, I don't get a mail sent into my inbox.   

Thanks in advance,
Drmota

Does any know how to set SMTP Mail Configuration using the gmail account?

Hi,

Can someone please post very straight forward lines for sending email (no attachment nothing, just a subject and one line text in body) using google smtp (ssl://smtp.gmail.com) without any help of some classes like PHPmailer?

Thanks,

I'm getting the following error:

Quote

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in (file path)


I'm sure this error has been posted before, but I've searched and can't find a solution. I'm running XAMPP 1.7.3 with the Mercury/32 mail server v.4.72, which IS set to permit SMTP relaying of non-local mail. Is there anything I can change in php.ini, or anywhere else for that matter, to solve this?

I'm tearing my hair out with this... If I can just get it to send out this email, my project is finished, but I've been wrestling with this mail() function for about 3 hours. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,
The following is my situation where I seem to get a 500 error code from the linux server:

i have an 'index' file like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php
require("includes/config.php");

$a = $_REQUEST['a'];

switch ($a)
{
   case "home":
      include("frontpage/main.php");
   case "user-process":
      include("user-process.php");
}
?>
config.php is something like this:
Code: [Select]
<?php

require(includes/classes/session.class.php);
require(includes/classes/user.class.php);
require(includes/classes/db.class.php);
...
?>
Now if we fall into the case "home" it works fine. Instead, if we fall into user-process it writes to the logs file Fatal Error: Class User does not exist bla bla bla. Why doesn't it exist ? every class is included in the config.php file then index.php includes first config.php ( which has all the classes) and then includes the requested page.

I also have a .htaccess file which is as follows:
Code: [Select]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?/?([^/\.]+)?$ index.php?a=$1&b=$2&c=$3&d=$4&e=$5&f=$6&g=$7 [NC,L]
which is used to access in a SEO friendly way the pages that users request.

I need to change the  timestamp of the mail sent through the smtp . right now the mail i receives is 7 hour ahead, when i run the script through browser the time displayed is ok, but when i run it by cron job its always 7 hour ahead.

my script is like this

$from = "From <from@domain.com>";
$to = "Receiver <to@domain.com>";
$subject = "Hi! Cron job timestamp test";
$body = "Hi,\n\n test msg and date is ?".date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
$host = 'host';
$username = 'username';
$password = 'password';
$port = "25";
 
 
 $headers = array ('From' => $from,
   'To' => $to,
   'Subject' => $subject);
 $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => $host,
     'port' => $port,
     'auth' => true,
     'username' => $username,
     'password' => $password));
 
 $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
 
 if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
   echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
  } else {
   echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
  }

How to add SMTP authentication for PHP mail form which is using POST function...

Hi,
I am looking for a script which will help me to send prebuilt e-mail to people with attachments.
Something like this >>>

To : [ ________________                                               ]  <--Textbox
Subject : [                         _____________] <-- Subject
Main body :
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]       <-- with html

[ Submit ]

I would like to attach 5 photos in .jpg which are hosted on server.

Now everything is prebuilt except "To : " as peoples email ID will always change. When Submit is clicked, main body Data and attachment will be sent to "To :" person with SMTP and not php mail()

Well I have covered till sending mail with SMTP, using PEAR PHP, but I am not able to send attachments i.e. photos.

I have 2 pages, index.php - 1st page which includes form and button
sendmail.php - Includes all function and main data
Following is the code of sendmail.php
<?php
include("Mail.php");
include('Mail/mime.php');

$to = $_POST["to_textbox"];
$from = $_POST["from_textbox"];
$subject = $_POST["subject_textbox"];
$message = $_POST["content_textbox"];
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";

/* SMTP server name, port, user/passwd */
$smtpinfo["host"] = "xbc.pqr.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "465";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "user";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "pass";
/////////////////Attachments Section Start //////////////
$file = '/home/xyzuser/public_html/xbx.pqr.com/mail1/img/linux_logo.jpg';
$crlf = "\n";
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'image/jpeg');
//do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order
$attach= $mime->get();
///////////////Attachment Section ends ////////////////

/* Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method */
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
/* Ok send mail */
$mail_object->send($to, $headers, $subject, $message, $attach);

?>
Now problem is, it is not sending linux tux logo from "img" folder i.e. mail sent with just text from previous page's textbox. It is not handling with attachment i.e. photo, what to do ?

Thanks to http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...me.example.php                     

Hello i m newbie to PHP.  I am trying to host the website on my laptop but due to some configuration i cant send the emails through php script. I am trying send mail through mail() but not able to sent mail.

heres the code:
$to = "jwalant.baria@gmail.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}

Output:
Message delivery failed..

I read the previous post here. but  I am not able to figure out what to do about it.
Can anyone tell me what setting i do in my php.ini? or any other that necessary settings require for this.
i don't have SMTP server on my laptop so is there any method from which i can setup the SMTP server on laptop.?

I use apache HTTP 2.2 and PHP 5.3.4

Rest of the website working correctly but only mail not working.

TY..!!
