Hello,
I am working with a SMTP class to send an email. It's all working perfectly fine, but when the email is received (sent from the online form), and I open my email and click reply, there are two email addresses. The correct one (which I entered when I sent the email), and my ftp username for the site??

I've got three files that could effect this, but I was unable to locate any problems:
mailer.php ( smtp send mail class)
mail.php ( submission data: title, subject, etc. )
contact_form.php ( form for submission )

I am only including the file which I think is applicable (mail.php), but let me know if you would also like to see the mailer.php class.

Current output:

reply-to   ftpusername@domainname.com,
correct_from_email@fromemail.com

I am working on a web form in PHP which accepts a Paypal Email address from the user.

I need to authenticate (validate or check) if the Paypal email address entered is a valid Paypal email account.

Please reply.

All comments and feedback are welcomed.

Thank you!

Hi, n0obie here.  I'm trying to identify where my customers are coming from via emails I've sent/received. However, many email providers (namely Gmail) have circumvented this by disallowing IP address geolocation/image caching.

Hi,

I'm new here and new to php.  My first attempt at a php project actually so I'm hoping to get some help.

I want people to register at my site but I don't want them to put false emails on it.

So I used the coding from this website http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=24 to provide codings for forms and email confirmation links.

The process worked up to when I click on the confirmation link (at testing) from the email and the link returns to a blank webpage.  No data is transferred from "temp_members_db" table  to "registered_members" table at all.

I'll attach print screen of my tables.

Hoping that someone can point out to me where I'm going wrong as I can't seem to get myself out of this one.

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.

Hello,

When a user sends a message using my contact form, they will get a confirmation to the supplied email to confirm that the email has been recieved, one problem is, the auto-reply message displays "donotreply@website.com" at the bottom of it, here is some of my code:


                //AUTO-REPLY CLIENT CODE START

                $confirmation = $visitor_email;
$consubject="Your message has been recieved";
$body2 = "Hello $name, \nThe below message has now been recieved.\n\n >> $user_message <<\n\nWe will reply to you shortly.\n\nThank you,\n\nThe website Team.\n\n\nThis is an automated message, please do not reply to it.\n".
$fromnoreply = 'donotreply@website.com';

                //AUTO-REPLY CLIENT CODE END

                //TO WEBMAIL CODE START

$to = $your_email;
$subject="Contact form - $name";
$from = $visitor_email;
$from = $your_email;
$ip = isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : '';
$body = "A user  $name submitted the contact form:\n".
"Name: $name\n".
"Email: $visitor_email \n".
"Message: \n ".
"$user_message\n".
"IP: $ip\n";

                //TO WEBMAIL CODE END

                //headers 
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
$headers2 = "From: $fromnoreply \r\n";
$headers2 .= "";
                 
                // the important stuff!, yes definately! JAMES 
mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);
                mail($confirmation, $consubject, $body2,$headers2);
header('Location: ?sent'); //where shall i go once message is sent?? Possibly here. *wink*


The above code automatically sends the below email to the client aswell as sending the clients message to me.

Code: [Select]

Hi,

I am working on php email functionality using pear with the help of below article.

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-php-send-email-via-smtp-authentication.html

It is working fine.

But when I change "From" address other than my domain email address then it stop working.

for example

$headers["From"] = 'myname@mydomain.com'; --  working

$headers["From"] = 'myname@otherdomain.com'; - not working.

myname@otherdomain.com is working and I am able to send email separately.

Any idea about this problem.

-  Thanks

Hi Everyone!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my post.  I am pretty new to PHP so please excuse my ignorance.

I am working a project for myself.  I want to be able to send out newsletters to my customers and sponsors.    I have written the code and here it is:

<?php
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email = "bubba@bubba.com";
$headers = "From: $email";
$email_list = file("elist.txt");
$total_emails = count($email_list);
for ($counter=0; $counter<$total_emails; $counter++) {
   $email_list[$counter] = trim($email_list[$counter]);
   }
$to = implode(",",$email_list);


if ( mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) ) {
   echo "The email has been sent!";
   } else {
   echo "The email has failed!";
   }
?>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my elist.txt file - I have two fields.   Name and email.

Bubba|bubba@bubba.com
Oohay|oohay@yahoo.com

If i leave the names out of this file, the email script works great!

I want to leave the names in there and reference them in my email that I am sending out to be more personal. 

Can this be done and can you help?

Thanks!
Mike
