I recently watched a tutorial on how to make a membership system, it all turned out fine n stuff. So i wanted to expand and i found out a way to make a email activation "thingie", by making 2 new rows. 1 called email_code and a second called email_a(a for activate). When the person then registered, he woulld get a email where he should go to a link and write a code that was generate with a rand fuction and placed in the email_code row in the database. Then when the person wrote his username and the code in a form from the link in the email, the email_a would change from 0 to 1 if the username matched to the code he got. (sry for bad english). anyway here is the code: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href="style.css" type="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <title>Activate email</title> </head> <body> <form action="" method="POST"> Username:<input type="text" name="username"> Code:<input type="text" name="activate"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="aktiver"> </form> <?php include 'connect.php'; $username = $_POST('username'); $activate = $_POST('activate'); $submit = $_POST('submit'); $query = mysql_query("SELECT username AND email_code FROM user"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)){ $dbusername = $row['username']; $dbcode = $row['email_code']; } if ($_POST['submit']){ if ($username==$dbusername&&$code==$dbcode){ mysql_query("UPDATE users SET email_a = '1' WHERE username = '$username' AND email_code = '$activate'"); echo "Du er blevet aktiveret"; } else echo "Forkert data"; } else ?> </body> </html> Hope you can help me MinG <!-- ********************************** --> <!-- *********** signup.php *********** --> <!-- ********************************** --> <?php session_start(); // If user is logged in, header them away if(isset($_SESSION["username"])){ header("location: message.php?msg=NO to that weenis"); exit(); } ?><?php // Ajax calls this NAME CHECK code to execute if(isset($_POST["usernamecheck"])){ include_once("php_includes/db_conx.php"); $username = preg_replace('#[^a-z0-9]#i', '', $_POST['usernamecheck']); $sql = "SELECT id FROM users WHERE username='$username' LIMIT 1"; $query = mysqli_query($db_conx, $sql); $uname_check = mysqli_num_rows($query); if (strlen($username) < 3 || strlen($username) > 16) { echo '<strong style="color:#F00;">3 - 16 characters please</strong>'; exit(); } if (is_numeric($username[0])) { echo '<strong style="color:#F00;">Usernames must begin with a letter</strong>'; exit(); } if ($uname_check < 1) { echo '<strong style="color:#009900;">' . $username .

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"; $headers .= 'Bcc: cc@gmail.com' . "\r\n"; mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 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. $email="to@email.com"; $from="from@email.com"; $msg=""; $subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"].""; $msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]."

To test I have the following code. <?php //Send activation Email $to = $Email_address; $subject = "www.WEBSITE.com/"; $message = "Welcome to my website!\r\rYou, or someone using your email address, has completed registration at WEBSITE. You can complete registration by clicking the following link:\rhttp://www.WEBSITE.com/register.php?action=verify&$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? 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!

Any advice would be much appreciate. Thanks, Mark Hi, Im getting better at this php lark! ok so now I have a signup website page, all details get added to the database including an email address, all works fine. now I would like a page, with a simple text box, that when you hit submit, it send the contents of the text box to all email address` in the members table, a really really simple newsletter so to speak. Its purely for my learning curve and Ill set up recapacha on it anyway. but Im getting a bit lost in the code, could someone guide me please? I can grab the contents of the text box like this: $letter = $_POST['letter]; but how do I send to all recipients? $recipient = ("SELECT email FROM members"); thanks Wut's happening forum So everytime I send an email using mail ( ) like this: $to = "$email"; $subject = "Mailing List Confirmation"; $headers = "From: blah blah blah"; $body = "Hello, $fname Thank you for your subscription to this update mailing list. Once an entry related to $query is updated, an email notification would be sent to you promptly. Regards, Blah blah blah."; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); I mean it works perfectly, but there's always a messsage saying "this email is suspicious" or some sort when I use hotmail but when i use gmail, no such warning appears. Still i would like to send a "non-suspicious" email in case some users r using hotmail. Is there anyway i can fix up this code to enhance its security level? thanks Hi I need to auto send an email to notify user about their next appointment date. Anyone know how to do the auto send email coding or it requires any external php class to do so? I'm using php and xampp. Thanks Ben CHew |
