PHP - Send Email With Localhost

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.

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.

I would prefer to receive one Email with 4 sections of data. Any help greatly appreciated.

$email="to@email.com";
$from="from@email.com";
$msg="";
$subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."";
 
$msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Absent or Present: ".$values["attendance_status"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class: ".$values["classname"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class Date: ".$values["attendance_date"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Amount Received: ".$values["cash_received"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Paid For: ".$values["cash_whatfor"]."\r\n";
 
$ret=runner_mail(array('to' => $email, 'subject' => $subject, 'body' => $msg, 'from'=>$from));
if(!$ret["Sent"])
echo $ret["message"];

Hello,
I have a registration page and when a user registers I want to send their email an activation code.
To test I have the following code.

<?php
//Send activation Email

$to = $Email_address;

$subject = "www.WEBSITE.com/";

$message = "Welcome to my website!\r\rYou, or someone using your email address, 
has completed registration at WEBSITE. You can complete registration by clicking the 
following link:\rhttp://www.WEBSITE.com/register.php?action=verify&amp;$activationKey\r\r
If this is an error, ignore this email and you will be removed from our mailing list.\r\rRegards,\ ";

$headers = 'From: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'Reply-To: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo 'Success';
}
else
{
    echo 'Error';
}
?>

I have the last if else to see if it is sent to not. I do get a Success message, but I don't get an email at the address (I have checked the spam folder). I have checked the email address and it is correct. I have even waited a few hours and nothing.
Why is the email not getting to my account?

i wrote this code

<?php
$mail_to='XXX@gmail.com';
   $subject_mail='UYYYY';
   $message='XXXXX';



$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0 \r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 \r\n";
$headers .= "From: XXX@gmail.com \r\n";

mail($mail_to, $subject_mail, $message, $headers );
?>


but the email will not send
why please?

Hi I have a form that I want people to fill out and then click the button and it sends me an email. My problem is that it doesn't send me any emails, I have looked around and I don't seem to find any thing.

This is my form in application_form.php

Code: [Select]
<form action="application_form" method="POST">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Full name</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="name" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Email address</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="email" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Message</td>
    <td><textarea name="message" cols="29" rows="5"></textarea></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Message" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

and this is the php on the same application_form.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  // Collect variables
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  // Send email
  $body = "The following feedback has been submitted:\n\n";
  $body .= "Name: $name\n";
  $body .= "Email: $email\n";
  $body .= "Message: $message";
  mail ("cerberus478@gmail.com","Feedback Received",$body,"From: cerberus478@gmail.com");

  // Output confirmation
  echo "<p>Your message has been received.</p>";
}
?>

Hello, i have been looking for and answer on the internet but i couldn't find it! I'm new on PHP based on and example i wrote something like this for my website:

//basic variables
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom']));
$EmailTo = "example@mysite.org";
$Subject = "Registration u10";
$teamname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['teamname']));
$affiliation = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['affiliation']));
$premier = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['premier']));
$challenge = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['challenge']));
$girls = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['girls']));
$boys = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['boys']));

//about 15 more variables go in here but i don't want to put them to save some space

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// email body text
//this includes the info of all the variables at the top even the ones I didn't write in here (but you get the point  )

$Body = "";
$Body .= "Team Name: ";
$Body .= $teamname;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";


$Body .= "AYSleague: ";
$Body .= $aysleague;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Flash Tournament: ";
$Body .= $flashtournament;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Spring 2011: ";
$Body .= $spring2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Summer 2011: ";
$Body .= $summer2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "fall 2011: ";
$Body .= $fall2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

// send email to my inbox with the information above

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// if everything goes OK it will redirect them to another page

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanksu12.html\">";
}

else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
}
?>

the problem that i have is:
(i divided it in 2 sections)
1- i need to sent a second email to the coach
2- that email only needs to have the information of 6 variables not the whole thing

I don't know how to do it, if someone knows how to do it, i will appreciate some help!!

thanks!

It's not whole script though.

Iwant to make a contact us script and here is done so far. I am almost sure its about preg match filters but cant find a solution why it doesnt work. Appreciate any help. Here is my code:

               $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email_from = $_POST['email'];
   $comments = $_POST['comments'];
   $emailtrue = '/^([A-Za-z0-9-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})$/';
   $nametrue = "/^[A-Za-z]+$/D";
    if(!preg_match($nametrue,$first_name)) {
                    echo "The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
        die (); }
               if(!preg_match($nametrue,$last_name))  {
                    echo "The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
                    die (); }
    if(!preg_match($emailtrue,$email_from)) {
        echo "The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.";       
                    die (); }
    if(strlen($comments) < 4)  {         
       echo "The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid. Min. 4 letters." ;
       die (); }
        $to      = xxxxxxxxxx.com';
                $subject = 'User Email';
       $headers = 'From: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
               'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
               mail($to, $subject, $comments, $headers);

I have mixed text with emails. Some are .com, .co.uk, .it, .se, dk, de, and so on.

<form action="mail.php" method="post"> <textarea name="emails" value="emails"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Subscribe"> </form>
<?php $emails = $_POST["emails"]; 
//$email = explode/ltrim/array/string/all of that
echo $emails;

All the emails, unfortunately.

blabla1@hotmail.com
blabla2@hotmail.de
blabla3@yahoo.com
blabla4@hotmail.es
blabla5@gmail.es 
...

But how can I have with one language, example I would have only .de:

blabla1@hotmail.de 
blabla2@hotmail.de 
blabla3@gmail.de 
blabla4@yahoo.de 
blabla5@gmail.de 
...

and next I would have only .se, and so on.

Can you tell me? I am newbie.

Hi I have a following code, validation part and jquery works perfectly in the code but it dosent send the email  I have jquery.js file in the head section of html and it work perfectly   contact.php

 
<div id="emailcontainer">

<div id="ack"> </div>

<div id="emailsend"><img src="images/emailsend.gif"></img><br> <p>We will get back to you soon</p></div>



<form id="contactform">

<div>

<label for="name">NAME:</label>

<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="John Doe" />

</div>

<div>

<label for="email">EMAIL:</label>

<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="JohnDoe@example.com" />

</div>

<div>

<label for="comment">MESSAGE:</label>

<textarea name="comment" rows="10" cols="50" id="comment"></textarea>

</div>

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="SEND" id="submit" />

</form>

</div><!---div emailcontainer end here--->

</div><!---div main end here--->
 

this page does the validation part from php   test.php

 
 
<?php

 if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {



    $errors = array();

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $comment = $_POST['comment'];

    $to = "reboosttechnologies@gmail.com";

    $from = $_POST['email'];

    $headers = "From: $from";

    $flag = false;

    $success = mail($to,$comment,$headers);

    $emailReg = '/^([a-z0-9_\.-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/ ';



    if(!($name) || !($email) || !($comment)){

        if(!$name){

            $errors[]="Missing Name";

            }

        if(!$email){

            $errors[]="Missing Email";

            }

        if(!$comment){

            $errors[]="Missing Comment";

            }

            $json_response = json_encode($errors);

                 

        }elseif(!preg_match($emailReg,$email)){

            $errors[] = "Not a valid email address";

            $json_response = json_encode($errors);

            }elseif($success){

                  $flag = true;



                return $flag;}else{

                

                $json_response = json_encode("Thanks for your comment");

                }

                echo $json_response;





}

?>

this file does the jquery validation without page refresh function.js

 
$(function(){

    $("#emailsend").hide();

    $("#submit").click(function(event) {

   event.preventDefault();

Hi guys,

I am writing the php script to send the email. I have noticed when I picked up on my email, I can see that it have been covered with mailed-by: myservername.com. I want to hide it, but I can't find a way to get it resolve.


Here's the code:

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);

if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);

if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments & $rate";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header, $add);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



I guess that something got to do with this:

if(isset($email)){
   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
  }


I have disabled the safe-mode, so do you know how I can hide the mailed-by header using with the code on above??

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the $header variable. I am trying to extract the value from the $name method and included with the $email method.

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);


if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);


if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



Something got to do with this line:

$header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";

My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address.


Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with?

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

Hello

Im making html mail for my project. However the mail() function of PHP does not send my email.

  <br/>
  <p><b>Lorem Ipsum<b><br/> is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industrys standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</p>
