PHP - Is There A Function That Can Send Text Messages Using Php? Thru An Sms Modem?

not sure if this is possible but i do not know how to return multiple values and read them where the call was made.

Code: [Select]
$string = "clause1";
func1($string);
// somehow read the response and use the return values seperately.
// both $string2 and $string3

Code: [Select]
function func1($input) {
if ($input == "clause1") { $string2= "value2"; $string3= "value6"; }
if ($input == "clause2") { $string2= "value3"; $string3= "value7"; }
if ($input == "clause3") { $string2= "value4"; $string3= "value8"; }
if ($input == "clause4") { $string2= "value5"; $string3= "value9"; }
return  ($requesttype, $messagetitle);
}

How is it possible, in PHP, to display an error message next to a form input text field if a user is attempting to submit a form with empty fields? Moreover, how is it possible to remove the same error message when the user fills in the input field with the required data and/or refreshes the page?

I have 2 files that I am working with: application.php and process.php.

application.php mainly has the HTML of the form.
process.php has the PHP for processing and validating the form.

I am very new to learning PHP (I started learning it last week) and I have been searching for hours for a clear answer. I have already tried different methods for generating the error message including: using empty(), !isset, $_POST["name"] = "", etc, and have tried using session_start();, $row, echo, print, and other variables to try and display error message on the page, and I have tried using unset();, and = null, to try and remove the error message once the input field has been filled but all to no avail. Either the method I try only half works, or nothing works, and I cannot pinpoint which is the part that is not working.

I only have 2 files to work with, and as an example of what I want to do is:

1. If the first name field is empty when the user clicks submit, an error message should appear next to the input.
2. If the user fills in the input and clicks submit, the form should be processed and added to the database.
3. When the user returns to the application to page to fill in another application form, the error message should not appear.

Is this possible with PHP?

I have an old script for sending a text message to cellphone via PHP mail.

The script has not changed in a year, and it did work approximately 9 months ago.

Now, after dusting off the script and trying it, no message is received on the cellphone.

When sent directly from my email account to 1231231234@mymetropcs.com, a text message arrives nearly immediately.

But when sent through my email server script, even as a simplified test script

<?php
 
 mail( '1231231234@mymetropcs.com', "How are you", "Your packaged has arrived!", "From: Me <MyEmail@yahoo.com>\r\n");

//OR even  mail( '1231231234@mymetropcs.com', "", "Your packaged has arrived!", "From: Me <MyEmail@yahoo.com>\r\n");
 
?>

there is still nothing received on cellphone.

How can I resolve this?

Are there anti-spam filters generally in place and how can I overcome them?

Is there a way to validate that the message I am sending is actually leaving the server?

Or are there settings [there were none before and normal email messages are sent without any problems] that need to be adjusted to send a text message?

Thanks for the help.

Some of you may have seen one of my many posts about email issues.  Some users don't get them, and I have determined it is probably because we are marked as spam.   We are a service that grades sales team members on their phone skills.  Listening to pre-recorded calls, grading and uploading them to our site, and then another part of our business looks them over and sometimes leaves a message that then get's forwarded to this persons work email.   I have determined there is ways to get marked as spam as default by not having an opt out link.  This is not an option, these sales members employer has opted in, and the emails are going to work related accounts hosted at that employer.  Also, if one of these staff members is not so bright, or disgruntled they may mark us as spam anyways.  The bottom line is that we have very little control over whether we are or are not marked as spam.   So we want to start looking into sending text messages and this is where I start to question how good of an idea this is.   First off, if it was me, and the messages where being sent to a device that my employer did not provide, I would in no way want work related text messages coming to me.  Unless there is a vested interest in getting them.  IE, I'm the boss at this place and am always on the clock.  What if you are on the bottom?  It's just a job for you.   What if it is a pre-paid device, text messages cost money.  What then?  What if they don't even have, or want a cell phone?   The short of it is this.  If I'm at a job that is just another job, and this employer tells me that I have to get these messages.  I'm going to look for another job.  I see the organizations having continuous issues and complaints from their employees.  Thus us as a business having issues keeping clients.   What am I getting into here?  What are your opinions on this matter?  What are your recommendations as to alerting users of something on our site that we can rest assured are being received 100% of the time?   Thanks!   Nick

Any help or suggestion would be appreciated

I am having trouble resolving an error.

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/s519970/public_html/header.php:27) in /home/s519970/public_html/admin/login.php on line 2

 What I can gather is I can't use "header (Location: 'admin.php')" after i've used session_start(). I have tried to replace the header (Location: 'admin.php') with this:

                echo "<script>document.location.href='admin.php'</script>";
      echo "<script>'Content-type: application/octet-stream'</script>";

I've been trying to read up on solutions but haven't been able to get it sorted. If anyone can offer some advice that would be greatly appreciated as im new to php.

Code: [Select]
<?php
  session_start();
  if(isset($_SESSION['user']))

                echo "<script>document.location.href='admin.php'</script>";
echo "<script>'Content-type: application/octet-stream'</script>";
?>

<div id="loginform">

<form action="dologin.php" method="post">

<td><span>Password:</span></td>
<td><input type="password" name="password" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="right"><input type="submit" name="login" value="Login" /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

</div>
I have tried using require_once('yourpage.php'); before my <head></head> tags in the header document where I've specified the html information but this doesn't seem to work. I've been advised to use ob_start("ob_gzhandler"); but I am not sure how to implement this.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

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);

I am working on a phpmailer script that sends an order confirmation email to the customer AND the client at the same time.  If I have the customer email and client email set both to the originating domain's email addresses (myname@myserver.com), then it sends fine.  However, if I try to send to an outside mail server (eg. someone@gmail.com), I get the following errors:

Code: [Select]
SMTP -> FROM SERVER:220 myserver.com ESMTP Exim 4.63 Sat, 18 Sep 2010 15:08:21 -0700

Mailer Error: SMTP Error: The following recipients failed: someone@gmail.com

I'm not sure what's going on here.  Any SMTP or phpmailer geniuses here that can shed some light on what needs to happen here for this to send to any address?

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a quick PHP script that will grab the email from the url (see below) and after inserting into MySQL db - which is working fine - the script will complete two additional tasks:

1. send that same captured email out to a external db as in shown via http://domain1.com/insert.php?email=$lead (example), but then send to a DIFFERENT source - the originator of the lead - a portback acknowledgement using Header (sending the status and email to http://domain2.com/check.php?e=$lead&s=$status for their records).

See the code below:
-------------------------

Code: [Select]

$lead = $_REQUEST['e_mail'];                // will grab email from posted url string and assign to local variable
$result = mysql_query($command);      // this is just to execute the MySQL insert which works just fine but included here to explain validation below

// Create API Call string to insert lead into iContact folder
$requestURL = "http://domain1.com/insert.php?email=$lead";

// Execute API Call to CAKE
$xml = simplexml_load_file($requestURL) or die("feed not loading");


if ($result) {
    $status = 1;       // mark lead as sucess

    // send postback on lead status
    header("Location: http://domain2.com/check.php?e=$lead&s=$status");
}

--------

Problem: I'm getting all sorts of errors with the simplexml_load_file() function and can't figure out why it won't work.
Any input appreciated as this the only way I know how to pass the lead onward and then inform/update the other party of receipt of information.

thanks!

Hello Guys,

 

I need your help as many PHPers here is more experienced in PHP coding than me.

I have specific project I am working on and need a piece of code that can send an email from HTML form using PHP to the email address that is entered manually on the form, instead of standard sent to PHP code that is fixed within PHP script and executed during submission.

I want sth that can grab manually enetered recipient's e-mail address, paste it to the PHP code and then use it to send the email to the recipient, instead of fixed sent to code.  Something would say dynamically changed during the entry that can inject into PHP code the new address email entered on the form and then submit to it.

Any ideas will be great.

 

Thanks.

I have two messages in my PHP code, and one is displayed depending on whether or not an INSERT succeeds...


// Verify Insert.
if (mysqli_stmt_affected_rows($stmt)==1){
// Insert Succeeded.
echo '<div id="box_Content_700b">';
echo '<h1>Member Account Created</h1>';
echo '<p>Congratulations!</p>
<p>Your account has been created, and a confirmation e-mail sent to: "' . $email . '"</p>
<p>Please click on the link in that e-mail to activate your account.</p>';
echo '</div>';
// Send Email.

}else{
// Insert Failed.
echo '<div id="box_Content_700b">';
echo '<h1>Account Creation Failed</h1>';
echo '<p>You could not be registered due to a system error.</p>';
echo '<p>Please contact the System Administrator.</p>';
echo '</div>';
}// End of VERIFY INSERT.



Questions:
1.) Would it be better if I put those messages in MySQL and just queried the one I needed?

2.) If so, can I put the entire message and markup in the database, so everything is ready to display?

3.) Should I use VARCHAR() or TEXT()?

Thanks,


Debbie

Kindly let me know how can i assign values to a php function from any textbox when user clicks on the submit button???


Code: [Select]
<form action="welcome.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="fname" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>

If I was pulling back data from MySQL that was like this "monkeys / dogs / cats", how would I grab just "monkeys" from that using PHP?

In other words, I want to grab all text until a "/" is seen.
