PHP - Send Notification Email
i have the following which sends an email whenever a post is made within the topic the user is subscribed to.
However it still sends the email to the person who made the reply. I need to take out the email of the poster if they are in the notification list. This is what i have but it doesnt seem to remove them. $notification_query = $db->query("SELECT u.user_id, u.user_email, u.user_username, n.notification_user_id FROM ".DB_PREFIX."members as u LEFT JOIN ".DB_PREFIX."notifications as n ON n.notification_user_id = u.user_id WHERE n.notification_topic_id = '$post_id'") or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($notification_query); while ($notification_list = mysql_fetch_object($notification_query)) { $users4[] = $notification_list->user_email; } $emailAddress = implode(', ', $users4); if (in_array($_SESSION['user_username'], $emailAddress)) { $emailAddress = str_replace($_SESSION['user_username'], ' ', $emailAddress); } if ($num_rows >=1) { putenv('TZ=EST5EDT'); $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .

What I want is to receive an HTML email (in a table format) with all the data in it. Data Field Date January 3, 2010 Name: Aaaaa Surname: BBbbb... Email: test@email.com Gender: male .... .... Which code do I need to add in my thanks.php file in order to do this. After filling all the data in www.domain.com/apply.php, it automatically directs the user to thanks.php file Here is my code (thanks.php): <?php require_once("phpMailer/class.phpmailer.php"); require_once("phpMailer/class.smtp.php"); require_once("phpMailer/language/phpmailer.lang-en.php"); $to_name = "My Website"; $to = "email@mydomain.com"; $subject = "A new user has been registered to my website"; $message = "A new user has been registered to my website"; $message = wordwrap($message,70); $from_name = "My Website"; $from = "email@mydomain.com"; //PHP SMTP version $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->IsSMTP(); $mail->Host = "mail.website.org"; $mail->Port =25; $mail->SMTPAuth = false; $mail->Username = "username"; $mail->Password = "password"; $mail->FromName = $from_name; $mail->From = $from; $mail->AddAddress($to, $to_name); $mail->Subject = $subject; $mail->Body =<<<EMAILBODY A new user has been registered to my website.

Hello. I activate the Payment Gateway Platform (by Redsys in Spain), and it works fine asking you for card number and it goes through correctly and says PAYMENT OK, but the notification.PHP FILE does not work. Could my server (SSL) configuration be the problem? or is it the CODE? Any help about this, please, would be highly appreciated. Thank you. Part of the Nofication.php code is: __________________________________________________________________________________
<?php $handle = fopen("_redsys.log", "a");
require_once("include/dbcommon.php"); $miObj = new RedsysAPI;
$version = postvalue("Ds_SignatureVersion");
// $version = "HMAC_SHA256_V1";
$claveModuloAdmin = 'sq7HjrUOBfKmC576ILgskD5srU870gJ7';
if ($signatureCalculada === $signatureRecibida && $res["Ds_AuthorisationCode"]!="++++++" && !isset($res["Ds_ErrorCode"]) {
$sql = "SELECT Espacio FROM Espacios WHERE Id_Espacio=" . $values["Id_Espacio"];
// echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.$imageData.'">';
_______________________________________________________________________________________________ I apologize ahead if this is really an Apache question, but I suppose it could be in either forum. I have a web directory that when anything is accessed within it or its children from a range of IP addresses, they are redirected to a new URL, like so: .htaccess Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} ^111\.111\.111\.

" accessed resource\n"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); ?> The problem is that I do not know on how to get the specific resource (URL) the client tried to access into the email, which I'd also like (e.g. more referrer information). The IP address is no problem though. Any ideas? Hi, ive been looking all over for a script to send an email once users on my site register their details, is this possible? all i want is it to send their username and password. Also the same sort of thing is needed for the "lost password" button? Any help suggested would be great, many thanks.

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.

The code below currently sends a separate Email with data from each row of a table when a Save All button is pressed. So, if I have 4 rows of data, 4 Email will be sent. $email="to@email.com"; $from="from@email.com"; $msg=""; $subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"].""; $msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]."

Yes, this is part of a Wordpress plugin. It's a small part of a large plugin that I have a LOT of time investing in setting up, so I can't just look for an alternate plugin. I really need to get this one to work.
