PHP - Mail Ended Up In Junk

I have one mysql table with data and accessing this data through one php script. This works fine in REDHAT 8 linux. I have shifted mysql database and the php script to new server with REDHAT RHEL4.4. now when I execute the script from website, it displays junk character (reading form mysql database through php script). There is no error in mysql database/table and script is working fine in redhat 8. I have checked php.ini for default characterset as well as set the encoding in mysql as latin1. Where else should I look/change? any idea?

Hello all,
 I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or  spam.
 Can anyone tell me why is this so?

 Her is the code:

$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";


$to  = " xx@gmail.com"; // note the comma



$subject = " $_POST[company_website] ";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: About Wholesale Account' . "<$_POST[email]>\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: mail@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: cc@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

$to=sammieave@ave.com,samuel@ave.com;
$subject  = "New Event Logged";
$message  = "Test";
$headers = "From: Samuel<sammieave@ave.com>;\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am having the above code but unfortunately the error I am getting is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\xampp\htdocs\CRM\support\mailer.php on line 139

I'm setting up a newsletter thing for my website.

I have a newsletter table in MySQL:
Quote

+----------------+------+--------+
| email          | mens | womens |
+----------------+------+--------+
| test2@test.com |    1 |      1 |
| test1@test.com |    1 |      0 |
+----------------+------+--------+


I am using a HTML form and this PHP code I learn't from the manual, which sends out e-mail's.
PHP:
if ($_POST['newsletter'] == 'Mens') {
   $to = '';
   $subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $body = $_POST['body'];
   $header = 'From: Me Someone <me@someone.com>';
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
}

What I want to do with the above code is send out an e-mail to all the e-mails in my MySQL database that are tagged '1' under mens.

How would I go about doing this? I'm guessing I will have to use a MySQL query in the $to = ''; that goes something like this:
$to = '$query (select from `newsletters` where `email` = 1');
?

Hello to all out there!
this is my first post,so my question may sound a bit simple. :]
I am studying PHP and MySQL and I tried to make a mailing form based on a mysql database.

My problem occured when I tried to use the PEAR mail object.

Here is my code:

// THE INCLUDED FILES
require_once ("attach_file.php"   );
require_once ("Mail.php"        );
require_once ("Mail\mime.php"   );

//THE VARIABLES TAKEN FROM THE HTML FORM OR JUST CREATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EMAIL
$my_email      = "something@gmail.com";
$email_subject = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_subject']),$server_connect );
$email_body    = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_body']   ),$server_connect );


$attached_file = $destination ;     // the $destination variable comes from the copy() function in attach_file.php
$username      = "the_username@gmail.com";
$password      = "the_password";
$host          = "smtp.gmail.com";

$attach        = new Mail_mime();
$attach -> addAttachment($attached_file);
$email_body    = $attach->get();

$extraheaders = array('from'=>$my_email,'to'=>$email_etaireias,'subject'=>$email_subject,'Bcc'=>$email_etaireias);
$headers       = $attach -> $headers($extraheaders);   // HERE GIVES ME AN ERROR!!! -->Fatal error: Method name must be a string

$smtp_info     = array('host'=>$host,'auth'=>TRUE,'username'=>$username,'password'=>$password);
$smtp          = Mail::factory('smtp',$smtp_info);


//loop through every single line of the database until there are no more lines with data
//and store each line in 3 different variables that i can use
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{ $onoma_etaireias = $row['onoma_etaireias'];
  $email_etaireias = $row['email_etaireias'];
  $website_etaireias = $row['website_etaireias'];   }

//construct the mail function .  The @ is supressing the errors created .remove it and they will be shown.
$mail = @$smtp->send($email_etaireias,$headers,$email_body);



As i searched here and there for a solution, i found that it has something to do with the way the mail-mime object creates the body of the email . I also tried to find a solution from the PEAR documentation.
do i create the headers someway wrong?????

I am using magento for sending mail with condition,

My code:

<?php
class Gta_MerchantNotification_Model_Observer {
    public function merchantremainder($Observer) {
       $order = $Observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
       $order_details = $order->getAllVisibleItems();

       $itemData = array();
       foreach ($order_details as $list) {
          $incrementid = $order->getIncrementId();
          $sku = $list->getsku();
          $name = $list->getName();
          $price = $list->getPrice();
          $Qty = $list->getQtyOrdered();
          $extra = $order->getIncrementId();
          $message = 

          "
          <tr>
          <!-- <td>$incrementid</td> -->
          <td>$sku</td>
          <td>$name</td>
          <td>$price</td>
          <td>$Qty</td>
          </tr>";

          $itemData[$list->getId()] = $message;

      }
  
      $finalMessage =  "
      <p>Order Id : $incrementid</p>
      <table border='1'>

      <tr>
      <!-- <th>Id</th> -->
      <th>Sku</th>
      <th>Product name</th>
      <th>Price</th>
      <th>Qty Ordered</th>
      </tr>";
      if (!empty($itemData)) {
          foreach ($itemData as $data) {
             $finalMessage .= $data;
         }

         $finalMessage .= "</table>";
         $this->sendMail($finalMessage);
     }

 }

 public function sendMail($message) {
   $body ="$message";
   $emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email');
   $emailTemplate->setFromName('abc');
   $emailTemplate->setBody($body);
   $emailTemplate->setSubject("Custom Email from observer");
   $emailTemplate->setType('html');
   $emailTemplate->setToEmail('abc@gmail.com');
   $emailTemplate->send();

}
}

?>

 

Output :

 

If order placed mail send to abc@gmail.com.
How to set email sender based on SKU $sku from order.

I want :

1) If SKU starts with 2, email should go to the mail id abc@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

2) If SKU starts with 3, email should go to the mail id xyz@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

3) If SKU starts with 4, email should go to the mail id qwe@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

FYI - If an order contains 10 items email should go separately based on SKU. But an order id the same must include all the emails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi all,

I'm coding an automated mailer for a dentist office. They set appointment dates through a web interface, and then this appointment is mailed to the customer via PHP's mail() function.

However, some users are not receving the mail. They claim that it is not even in the junk mail folder. Is it because I'm setting or not setting certain properties in the header? Should I be setting something else?

Here is my code
Code: [Select]
ini_set("SMTP", "mail.isp-provider.net");
$headers = 'From: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Bcc: internal@address.com' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($customerAddress, $subject, $body, $headers);
Note that customerAddress, subject, and body are all just regular normal strings.

As I said, it works for most customers, but some customers do not receive the emails.

Hello there,

I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder.

Here is my method of emailing my clients:


function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message)
{
if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID))
{
$Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID);

$headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; 
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n";
echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message;

return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers);
}
else return InvalidAccount;
}


So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using.

Hi,
I found a couple of topics in the search on this but can't resolve my problem.
I have a cart and want to mail it to myself and the client. The cart I'm using works fine but the moment I "check out" (mail the order) it gives a error. I build an error trap but see nothing wrong then I tried a different way to send the order in html with no avail.
6x files I use: Index.php -The products I'm selling and "add to chart"
                      Cart.php - To update and display the products in the basket
                      SendOrder.php - To mail the cart etc. to me and client
as the main files and some functions, db connection and global's...

Hello Everyone

I have written a simple mail function to be emailed to a certain person on submission.  On submission they would also like to have attachments sent to them.

I got the email being sent but I can;t get the attachments to work. I have read several different examples and tutorials and none of them work.

This is my code so far without any code for file attachment

Hi Guys,

I am using IPN with my site and want to send an email to the purchasers once the purchase is complete, but during testing in sandbox the email is not being sent and I can's see why, any ideas?

<?php


// PHP 4.1

// read the post from PayPal system and add 'cmd'
$req = 'cmd=_notify-validate';

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$value = urlencode(stripslashes($value));
$req .= "&$key=$value";
}

// post back to PayPal system to validate
$header .= "POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n";
$header .= "Content-Length: " . strlen($req) . "\r\n\r\n";
$fp = fsockopen ('ssl://www.sandbox.paypal.com', 443, $errno, $errstr, 30);

// assign posted variables to local variables
$item_name = $_POST['item_name'];
$item_number = $_POST['item_number'];
$payment_status = $_POST['payment_status'];
$payment_amount = $_POST['mc_gross'];
$payment_currency = $_POST['mc_currency'];
$txn_id = $_POST['txn_id'];
$receiver_email = $_POST['receiver_email'];
$payer_email = $_POST['payer_email'];   

if (!$fp) {
// HTTP ERROR
} else {
fputs ($fp, $header . $req);
while (!feof($fp)) {
$res = fgets ($fp, 1024);
if (strcmp ($res, "VERIFIED") == 0) {

   if ($payment_status=="Completed")
   {
      if ($payment_amount==29.99&&$payment_currency=="GBP")
      {
         
$to = "someone@example.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "someonelse@example.com";
$headers = "From: $from";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
      }
}
else if (strcmp ($res, "INVALID") == 0) {
// log for manual investigation
}
}
fclose ($fp);
}
?>

any help much appreciated.

$msg = "E-mail sent from Sgforums.org/Swimming. <br>";
$msg .= " hello <br>";
$msg .= " friend <br>";

mail($to, $subjects, $msg, $mailheaders);

Do anyone know how to add an <br> at $msg message when received mail

why is this happening

code that works
$message = 'thanks';
mail(me@aol.com, awesome email, $message);


code that doesnt work
$message = "thanks";
mail(me@aol.com, awesome email, $message);


WHY

'here is the $data yay';  //this doesnt work but neither does 'here is the ".$data." yay';
vs
"here is the ".$data." yay;
