PHP - Mail() Takes Forever To Send.

I understand you need to use the mail() command but this just wont work for me, my webserver is with godaddy, and they sent me an email saying that i need to use a relay server to send my mail, how do i set this up or anything?

I'm trying to send email with php for the first time. Trying to make it so that after a user registers he/she receives an email after submitting. I'm trying to send it from 1 comp with an email of goldie@telkomsa.net to another with an email of jgoldie@telkomsa.net (I just really want to test if it's sending email another before I get technical with the email)

Should this code work, here is part of my code with the email section in it:
Code: [Select]
<?php
// query
$sql = "INSERT INTO student (sno, sname, init, fname,
title, msname, dob, sex, lang, idno,
telh, telw, cel, fax, email, address, 
contact_flag
)



VALUES  ('', '$sname', '$init', '$fname', 
'$title', '$msname', '$dob', '$sex','$lang',
'$idno', '$telh', '$telw', '$$cell', '$fax',
'$email', '$address', '$contact')";




 mysql_query($sql) or die('Error:' . mysql_error());
  
 $sno_id = mysql_insert_id();
  


// get the cid
$cname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['cname']); 
$getCID = "SELECT cid FROM course WHERE cname='$cname'";
$result = mysql_query($getCID);

if($result)
{
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    $course_id = $row['cid'];

     // add the student to the course_student table
     $addCID = 'INSERT INTO course_student (cid, sno) VALUES(' . $row['cid'] . ', ' . $sno_id . ')';
     mysql_query($addCID) or die('Error:' . mysql_error());

// send email
$Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name
$email = "goldie@telkomsa.net"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "jgoldie@telkomsa.net"; //recipient
$mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "Subject for reviever"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields

ini_set('sendmail_from', 'goldie@telkomsa.net'); //Suggested by "Some Guy"

if (mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header)){ 
echo "mail has been sent"; //mail command 
}



}



  
 header( "refresh:5;student_man.php" );
echo 'Registration <b> successful </b> You\'ll be redirected in about 5 secs. If not, click <a href="student_man.php">here</a>.';


}
} 


?>

Email is under the "email section" comment based of what I found on google. I'm not getting any errors so I want to know if the email isn't going through because of my code or my smtp setting etc.

Hi People,   I'm using a php to send an mail using a server via ssl. My program:   <?php

Hello,
I have those code:

$message = "
Hello $inforow2['company']<br />
This is a notice about a pending invoice at $inforow3['company'].<br />
If you would like to see the invoice, you can see it <a href='http://$inforow3['url]'/view-invoice?id=$id.php'>here</a><br />
This is an automatic message. Replies will not be monitored.<br />
Yours faithfully<br />$inforow3['company']";

mail($inforow2['email'],"Invoice overdue #1",$message,$inforow3['sentfrom']);


I'm not sure if I can send this, and it will get the values from my mysql and put it in the email or it would send the text directly, and if it ill take the html..
Can any one tell me if above code would be correct?

this worked and stopped, no error no idea why
is this a conflict?
Code: [Select]
echo("<meta http-equiv = refresh content=0;url=".$url_success.">");
     mail($to_supplier, $subject_supplier, $message_supplier, $headers_supplier);
 $ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

Hello,
I am trying to create a registration module where an email would be sent to the user after registration.
I am using xampp and have tried php mailer
http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpmailer/files/phpmailer%20for%20php4/0.90/
but couldn't get it to work...
I've been told that it is possible to send an email from localhost through smtp...
I need to know how to accomplish that. Am a beginner.
suggestions and help would be appreciated

Hallo guys!!

I have this script

Code: [Select]
<?php
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['name']);
$link = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['link']); 
$filename = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['filename']);
if(empty($name) || empty($link) || empty($filename))exit; 

mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
@mysql_select_db('1') or die( "Unable to select database");

if (!mysql_query("INSERT INTO `1`.`files` (`name`,`link`,`filename`) VALUES ('$name','$link','$filename');"))
  {
  echo 'Fail!';
  exit;
  }
  else
  {
  echo "Succesfuly added!";  
  }
mysql_close();

?>
works fine when they send me link to

mydomain.com/script.php?name=1&link=2&filename=3

and database updates fine , but the idea is

That each name  is owned by a group and every group has a different email adresse , how can automatically
send email  at the time someone send a link to my adress  (mydomain.com/script.php?name=1&link=2&filename=3)

with few words i want to notify the owner of the group (name) for the  link and filename values


Thats the story
Thanks!!!

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');

    $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

Hi,

I'm trying to create a script that allow me to update my product quantity from external csv file. I've done successfully the first part, update db.

But now i want to send one mail with results that are not in db. I check DB from ean, and update product quantity by ean. Sometimes, the csv file have some ean that are not in db, i want to receive one e-mail with this ean's.

Here is my code:
<?php 

// Connect to MySQL 
mysql_connect("localhost", "username", "password") or die(mysql_error()); 
mysql_select_db("dbname") or die(mysql_error()); 

#if first row of csv file is headings set $row to 1. 
$row = 1; 
#database primary table 
$table_to_update = "table_name"; 

#get the csv file 
$handle = fopen("http://www.csvfilewebsite.com/file.csv", "r"); 

#go through the csv file and print each row with fields to the screen. 
#and import them into the database updating only the price and quantity  
while (($data = fgetcsv($handle, 100000, ";")) !== FALSE) { 
    $num = count($data); 
    echo "<p> $num fields in line $row: <br /></p>\n"; 
    $row++; 
    for ($c=0; $c < $num; $c++) { 
        if ($c = 1) { 
        $ean13 = $data[($c - 1)]; 
        echo $ean13 . " SKU Assigned <br />\n"; 
        } 
        if ($c = 3) { 
        $quantity = $data[($c - 1)]; 
        mysql_query("UPDATE $table_to_update SET quantity='$quantity' WHERE ean13='$ean13'")  
        or die(mysql_error());  
        echo $product_quantity . " Imported for row $row in product $ean13 <br />\n"; 
        } 
        // would have to add an additional  if statement for each field being updated and know the order of the fields from your csv file 
        //echo $data[$c] . "Imported <br />\n"; 
         
         
    } 
} 

fclose($handle); 
echo "<h1>Update Complete.</h1>"; 
?> 

Now, how to check csv ean's that aren't in db, and send mail with this ean's?

Hope someone can help me.

Hi guys, I'm sending mail from php running on a cheap webhost with the following:

Code: [Select]
$to = 'name@domain.com.au';
$header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$header .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$header .= "From: Name <noreply@domain.info>" . "\r\n";
$subject = "Interest registered";
$message = "<!DOCTYPE HTML.. a bunch of html";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
As you can see I've set "from" in the headers. When I receive the email however, it says from: myusername@my.cheaphost.com on behalf of Name [noreply@domain.info]

I need to get rid of the on behalf bit as it looks completely unprofessional. I just want it to say from: Name [noreply@domain.info]

Obviously this is probably something to do with the setup of the server, some of which I have no control over. I have access to another mail server which I can use to send email, so I put this at the start of my code:

Code: [Select]
ini_set('SMTP', 'mail.myotherserver.com.au');
echo ini_get('SMTP');
Which returns mail.myotherserver.com.au however, when I use the mail function, it still comes from myusername@my.cheaphost.com on behalf of Name [noreply@domain.info]

Is there something I'm missing, is the mail function not tied to the SMTP value?

Thanks

Hello

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