PHP - Php Mail, Include Template, And Pass Variables.... Help
Before, if I wanted to send a welcome letter when a user registers i'd do this.
$body = "<inserted html code>"; mail('email@email.com', 'Subject', $body, $headers); Now that I am advancing in PHP, I was trying a different method, because when I did the above method, I would have to take all the HTML out of the variable to change something, like an image link, etc... I have tried doing another method, where I can actually leave all the HTML code in a separate file, so that I can easily edit it, and tried 3 things... This one works, but it doesn't pass variables: $body = file_get_contents("emailTemplate.inc.php"); mail('email@email.com', 'Subject', $body, $headers); When I do this one, the page actually just shows on the current page (naturally): $body = include("emailTemplate.inc.php"); mail('email@email.com', 'Subject', $body, $headers); Of course, this has the same effect as the include function: $body = require("emailTemplate.inc.php"); mail('email@email.com', 'Subject', $body, $headers); So my question is, how do I send a formatted HTML email, and pass variables to it, so I can personalize it by the persons name, etc, without adding the HTML to a variable, and so that I can easily update the page whenever I want, and without taking it out of the variable, and sticking back in the edited code? Any help would be appreciated! I would also like to say that I am using this code for the $headers variable too: $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: from@email.com <email@email.com>' . "\r\n"; Thank you in advanced!

1) User logs in (UserA)
2) Inserting a name in the search box and pressing "Search", a list of all users matching that name is shown
3) The user selects a user (UserB) from that list (among several results)
4) By selecting the user (UserB) , a message box appears to insert text
5) The user(UserA) types the message
6) The user(UserA) presses the SUBMIT button and sends the message to the other user(UserB)
The problem i face is how to pass the variables from my PHP script to the JavaScript script. Its easy for me to get the values of input fiedls, select fields or any other DOM element value. But if the value i need to pass to Javascript file to perform an AJAX call isnt inside a DOM element, how do i do it?
For example, for me to determine the user that will send the message (userA), i will need several data. This data, i have them inside the PHP script as variables, but dont know how to pass them to Javascript file.
Getting the data from the URL, or from a hidden input field or any other DOM element, is a solution, but i want to know the way that is safer and better.
To summarize:
[PHP Script with necessary data]-->[pass necessary data from PHP to JavaScript file]-->[perform an AJAX call] --> [return data to PHP Script]
How do i do it?
Thanks in advance.
I have a search page that then submits to a php page that queries the database. I've been struggling to figure out how to paginate it, but I think I've narrowed down the problem. I didn't realize $_POST results didn't pass through when people clicked the pagination links at the bottom. I verified this by replacing the LIKE variable with a specific word and it worked. I'm trying to learn how to set up sessions, thinking this might solve my problem. Doesn't seem to be working. Can I get some suggestions on how to do this? What's happening now is that it's pulling a random 8 pages that have nothing to do with the original query. I start my entire page with: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $_SESSION['leafshape'] = $_post['select1']; $_SESSION['leafcolor'] = $_post['select2']; $_SESSION['leafvein'] = $_post['select3']; $_SESSION['leafmargin'] = $_post['select4']; $leafshape = $_SESSION['leafshape']; $leafcolor = $_SESSION['leafcolor']; $leafvein = $_SESSION['leafvein']; $leafmargin = $_SESSION['leafmargin']; and I'm setting up the queries like this: Code: [Select] $query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM descriptors JOIN plantae ON (descriptors.plant_id = plantae.plant_name) WHERE descriptors.leaf_shape LIKE '{$_SESSION['leafshape']}' AND descriptors.leaf_venation LIKE '{$_SESSION['leafvein']}' AND descriptors.leaf_margin LIKE '{$_SESSION['leafmargin']}'"; I also tried replacing the '{$_SESSION['leafshape']}' in the query with the assigned variable $leafshape Hello, I am new to PHP and would like to know what I am doing incorrectly. I have designed a login form which contains two variables: the username and the password. So for the username: <input type="hidden" name="email" id="email" value="example_username"> And for the password: <input type="password" name="password" id="password" size="15"> I then created a php script which I want to pass the variables "email" and "password" to the e-mail address: <?php { $message = "$email"; $message2 = "$password"; mail ("email@myserver.com", "Hello", $message, $message2); } ?> This should happen through the command: <action="http://www.myserver.com/myscript.php" method="post"> All I get is a blank email with the subject "Hello". Why are the email and password variables not being passed to my email by the php script? Thanks. Hello everyone, Can someone show me a way how to pass $_post variable from a form to a function? So, input username and input password to a function login($username, $password). I have a form, where I'm collecting registration info - like name, address, email, password. I'm calling another php file at server side code, where it will check whether the email exists or not. Pretty simple, just receiving those post variables and check with the database. The issue, if I find a match, I want to go back to the registration.php page, using the following code: if ($email_already_use == "y") { $_SESSION['ERROR'] = "Error"; $_SESSION['MESSAGE'] = "This email address already used. Please try another"; header("location: ".$settings['site_url']."registration.php"); exit; } Now, I would like to place the user input at the registration.php file, but I do not want to use pass variable at URL like this: header("location: ".$settings['site_url']."registration.php?".name=$name&address=$address&email=$email; Is there anyway, I can retrieve those variables at registration.php, without specifying .name=$name&address=$address&email=$email ? Thanks for your help. I see some sites has similar implementation, but did not find anything like how to do it. What i'm trying to do is have 20 HTML (href) links and a PHP include under the links. What I want is when a link is clicked the PHP include changes to a different file. Im sorry if its not very clear but i'm pretty new to PHP so don't know if its possible... Please can someone help I have the array defined and print_r (outside the function is show what I need...) However, I need to somewhay pass those three arguments - name, price, shipping (keys & values) into the "all_products" function and assign (inside the function) each element to a variable {name, price, shipping}. Code: [Select] function all_products($key,$value) { # This is where I'm lost - I know the values are passed to the function but how to I assign them to below variable? echo "$name"; echo "$price"; echo "$shipping"; // Products array defined to send values into "all_products" function & loop to display item name & individual pricing (using WHILE LOOP) $products = array('Product1' => array ( 'name' => 'item one', 'price' => '30.00', 'shipping' => '0.00'), 'Product2' => array ( 'item two', 'price' => '19.50', 'shipping' => '0.10'), 'Product3' => array ( 'item three', 'price' => '21.99', 'shipping' => '0.10') ); while (list($keys, $values) = each($products)) { while (list($k, $v) = each($values)) echo "Checking Looped Data Outside Function: <strong>$k: </strong> $v<br/>"; # echo "<pre>"; # print_r($value); # echo "</pre>"; # Trying to send array elements into "all_products" function & echo (name, price, shipping) keys and values inside that function all_products($k,$v); } I have this code: Code: [Select] <?php $item_name = urlencode('product name'); $payment_amount = urlencode('20.00'); $payer_email = urlencode('me@email.com'); $getvars = "?item_name=$item_name&payment_amount=$payment_amount&payer_email=$payer_email"; include "http://www.mysite.com/ipn.php$getvars"; ?> It only seems to be passing $item_name, the other 2 variables come up as being set, but are empty. I want to query a database (search) and pass the desired columns from the search results to another page like so: Code: [Select] <?php //address error handling ini_set ('display_errors', 1); error_reporting (E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE); //authenticate user require('auth.php'); if (isset($_POST['submit'])) { // Connect to the database. require_once ('config.php'); //Query the database. $sql = "SELECT* FROM members INNER JOIN images ON members.member_id = images_member_id WHERE members.ethnicity = '{$_POST['ethnicity']}'"; $query = mysql_query($sql); if(mysql_num_rows($query) > 0){ while(($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) !== false) { //Redirect to search results page. header("Location: search_results.php?friend='.$row['member_id'].'&me='.$_SESSION['id'].' &pic='.$row['image'].'&name='.$row['username'].'"); } } else { //If no results found. echo 'No results match this search query.' ; } } ?> I get the following error when i try to run the page (by submitting a form from another page which executes this page): Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/a4993450/public_html/profile_search.php on line 31 The culprit line is this one: header("Location: search_results.php?friend='.$row['member_id'].'&me='.$_SESSION['id'].' &pic='.$row['image'].'&name='.$row['username'].'"); As you can see, I eliminated all white space between the variables and concatenations, thinking that that was the problem but I keep getting the error message. I'm at a loss about what to do next. Any help? Hey everyone, I'm new to PHP so excuse me if this is an obvious question: I've got a horizontal scrolling image gallery as an include, as it will be used in dozens of pages. Each page that includes the image gallery will be using different pictures and in different numbers (anywhere from 1 - 15 images). In each page that includes the image gallery, I've turned each image to be used into a variable.. $image 1 = "images/image1.jpg"; $image 2 = "images/image2.jpg"; ... $image 7 = "images/image7.jpg"; etc. Now, I imagine I need to write a loop in the include that will account for as many pictures as there are variables in each page, without adding links for variables that aren't in the page in question. Something like (simplified): Defined on page: $image 1 = "images/image1.jpg"; $image 2 = "images/image2.jpg"; $image 3 = "images/image3.jpg"; $image 4 = "images/image4.jpg"; Loop in photo gallery include: <?php for($i = 1; $i <=15; $i++) { $imagei = ("$" ."image".$i); if (defined($imagei)) { echo '<li><a href="' .$imagei.'">'; echo '<img src=" '.$imagei.'" >'; echo '</a></li>'; } } ?> I know this doesn't work because $imagei isn't referring to the defined variables on the external page, but I'm not sure exactly where to go from here. As in, $imagei in the first execution of the loop is equal to "$image1", but how do I link that to the $image1 variable defined in the page (as "image/image1.jpg") to display the image? Does that make sense? Thanks! I am trying to pass a variable from inside of a function in a file that is included eg include.php Code: [Select] <? function noms(){ $foobar = "apples"; } ?> main.php Code: [Select] <? include("include.php"); noms(); echo "these ". $foobar. " are most delicious... OM NOM NOM"; ?> I am essentially using a include file for a mysql connection and based on the connection outcome i am either setting a value to true or false. It prints "Connected succesfully" and what not just fine, but, after that it wont pass on the variables data. I know its the function because, it passes the data if i put the variable before the function... i just dont get it.. any help would be great. Thanks. Ansel I have a notification system that notifies users of new comments, inside the email I have images, some of the logo, some of different people, everything shows up fine on my computer (yahoo email), however in the iPhones email application no images show up, there are just the blue squares with the question marks in them.
