PHP - Php Mail() Text Format

Hi

I have the following for an input form,  I was under the impression that ucwords would format the text into Initial Characters, but this does not do that?  What have I done wrong?

$ven_name = trim(ucwords(mysql_prep($_POST['ven_name'])));

Hi All, I am not quite sure if this is possible - but here goes. I have a webpage hit counter that uses PHP and saves the counter totals in .txt files. I have gotten the code to print out the comma (thousand separator) fine on the page, however, I would like to have that comma in the text file also. I display the counters on separate pages using <?php include("file.txt");?> and the counter shows up as "12345" when I'd like it to read the text as "12,345". Basically, I just want that comma written to the actual text file if possible so that when it's included on a web page, it displays the thousands separator. Any help would be great. Thank You!

Here is a portion of my code:
Code: [Select]
/* Turn error notices off */
error_reporting(E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);

/* Get page and log file names */
$page = input($_GET['page']) or die('ERROR: Missing page ID');
$logfile = 'logs/' . $page . '.txt';

/* Does the log exist? */
if (file_exists($logfile))
{
/* Get current count */
$count = intval(trim(file_get_contents($logfile))) or $count = 0;
$cname = 'tcount_unique_'.$page;

if ($count_unique==0 || !isset($_COOKIE[$cname]))
    {
/* Increase the count by 1 */
$count = $count + 1;
$fp = @fopen($logfile,'w+') or die('ERROR: Can\'t write to the log file ('.$logfile.'), please make sure this file exists and is CHMOD to 666 (rw-rw-rw-)!');
flock($fp, LOCK_EX);
fputs($fp, $count);
flock($fp, LOCK_UN);
fclose($fp);

/* Print the Cookie and P3P compact privacy policy */
header('P3P: CP="NOI NID"');
setcookie($cname, 1, time()+60*60*$unique_hours);
}

/* Is zero-padding enabled? */
    if ($min_digits > 0)
    {
    $count = sprintf('%0'.$min_digits.'s',$count);
    }

    /* Print out Javascript code and exit */
    echo "document.write('".number_format($count)."');";
    exit();
}
else
{
    die('ERROR: Invalid log file!');
}

I have an old script for sending a text message to cellphone via PHP mail.

The script has not changed in a year, and it did work approximately 9 months ago.

Now, after dusting off the script and trying it, no message is received on the cellphone.

When sent directly from my email account to 1231231234@mymetropcs.com, a text message arrives nearly immediately.

But when sent through my email server script, even as a simplified test script

<?php
 
 mail( '1231231234@mymetropcs.com', "How are you", "Your packaged has arrived!", "From: Me <MyEmail@yahoo.com>\r\n");

//OR even  mail( '1231231234@mymetropcs.com', "", "Your packaged has arrived!", "From: Me <MyEmail@yahoo.com>\r\n");
 
?>

there is still nothing received on cellphone.

How can I resolve this?

Are there anti-spam filters generally in place and how can I overcome them?

Is there a way to validate that the message I am sending is actually leaving the server?

Or are there settings [there were none before and normal email messages are sent without any problems] that need to be adjusted to send a text message?

Thanks for the help.

Hello All,

Hi all,

I am currently making a website that has e-custom functions and a back end for the client.

I want them to be able to upload images - but they need to be transparent. I do not want to leave this in the hands of the client, so I am looking at ways of using the GD library to make the change

I got no issue with the png/gif type for upload/resize function since this type already transparent background but my major problems is how to deal with jpeg/jpg image type which is their background was not a transparent...so is it possible I can change/ convert to png/gif type upon successful of uploading image...so the new final image will be png/gif type with transparent background...is it doable...I am not even sure it is possible...?

Thanks for any help..

Hello All:

Trying to work with PHP on a contact form with a jQuery Validation to make certain that the visitors fill out the required information. I'll try to show everything that I have, and then the error I am getting when the visitor hits "submit."

I don't know PHP all that well, and trying to learn my way through it. I used a couple of tutorials to add the features I needed and did my own styling on the live site.  Here is the PHP that is currently in the header of my markup:


<?php
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

//Check to make sure that the First name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['firstname']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$firstname = trim($_POST['firstname']);
}
    
    //Check to make sure that the Last name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['lastname']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$lastname = trim($_POST['lastname']);
}
    
    //Check to make sure that the Street Address 01 field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['street01']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$street01 = trim($_POST['street01']);
}
    
    //If Street02 is filled out, give it a value
    
    $street02  = $_POST['street02'];
    
    //Check to make sure that the City field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['city']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$city = trim($_POST['city']);
}
    
    //Check to make sure that the State field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['state']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$state = trim($_POST['state']);
}
    
    //Check to make sure that the Zip field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['zip']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$zip = trim($_POST['zip']);
}
    
    //If Email is filled out, give it a value 
    
    $email  = $_POST['email'];
    
    //If Telephone is filled out, give it a value 
    
    $telephone  = $_POST['telephone'];
    
    //Default Subject Value 
    
    $subject  = "VMC Inquiry";
    
    //Check checkboxes 
    foreach($_POST['check']  as  $value)  {

$check_msg = "Checked: $value\n";

} 

    //If Message is filled out, give it a value 
    
    $comment  = $_POST['comment'];


//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = 'xxxx.xxxx@gmail.com'; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $firstname $lastname \n\nStreet Address: $street01 \n\nStreet Address*: $street02 \n\nCity: $city \n\nState: $state \n\nZip: $zip \n\nEmail*: $email \n\nTelephone*: $telephone \n\nCheck Box: $check_msg \n\nMessage:\n $comment";
$headers = 'From: XXXXX <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
}
?>

So basically I am using classes to say whether or not something is required, which ties into the jQuery validation. If it isn't required, whatever the visitor types into the box is put into something like "$telephone" which is then printed in the e-mail.

The markup for the forms in the body is the following:

Code: [Select]
<p class="contact-text-right">For more information, or to have a list of our properties mailed to you, please fill out the form below.</p>
    <div id="contact-wrapper">
            <?php if(isset($hasError)) { //If errors are found ?>
        <p class="error">Please check if you've filled all the fields with valid information. Thank you.</p>
            <?php } ?>
            <?php if(isset($emailSent) && $emailSent == true) { //If email is sent ?>
            <p class="accept"><strong><?php echo $firstname;?>,Your Email Successfully Sent!</strong></p> <?php } ?>
    <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" id="contactform">
        <div id="names">
            <label for="firstname"><strong>First Name:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" value="" class="required" />
            <label for="lastname"><strong>Last Name:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname" value="" class="required" />
        </div>
        <div id="address01">
            <label for="street01"><strong>Street Address:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="street01" id="street01" value="" class="required" />
        </div>
        <div id="address02">
            <label for="street02"><strong>Street Address*:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="street02" id="street02" value="" />
        </div>
        <div id="city">
            <label for="city"><strong>City:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="city" id="city" value="" class="required city" />
            <label for="state"><strong>State:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="state" id="state" value="" class="required state" />
            <label for="zip"><strong>Zip Code:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="zip" id="zip" value="" class="required zip" />
        </div>
        <div id="email">

            <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" class="email"/>
            <label for="telephone"><strong>Telephone*:</strong></label>
            <input type="text" name="telephone" id="telephone" value="" class="telephone" />
            <p class="bottom">*Optional fields.</p>
        </div>
        <div class="checkbox">
            <p><input  type="checkbox"  name="check[]"  value="properties">XXX</p> 
            <p><input  type="checkbox"  name="check[]"  value="contact-regarding">XXXX</p>
            <p class="indent">(Please list properties or ask specific questions in the space below.)</p>       
        </div>
        <div id="comment">
            <label for="comment"></label>
            <textarea name="comment" id="comment" ></textarea>
        </div>
        <div id="button">
        <input type="submit" value="Send Message" name="submit" />
        </div>
    </form>

All seems well until I hit submit on the live site. I think get this error returned to me:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in ......./html/development/contact.php on line 64

The e-mail goes through, with all the information, no problems! I just can't get this error message to go away.
Line 64 of contact.php is where the checkbox coding is:


    //Check checkboxes 
    foreach($_POST['check']  as  $value)  {

$check_msg = "Checked: $value\n";

} 


I know I've submitted a lot of code here, and tried to narrow you down to the exact spot I think the problem is, but hopefully some of you PHP gurus can pick out the flaw in a heartbeat.

I really appreciate all the help.

I apologize in advance, I know pretty much nothing about PHP - don't hate me, please!
But I'm working on a form mailer, and it functions, but what I don't like is it leaves all the text fields, blank or not, in my email, which makes it difficult for my client to read, so theres a long list of
txt field1:
another text field:
blah blah:

all the way down the email - and I want it gone! haha.
I've researched how to do this, but basically, I have no idea how to implement it into my code and don't have time right now to up and learn PHP.
My code is as follows:

Code: [Select]
<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------

// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'PCI Tour/Excursion Request'; 

// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent. 
$emailadd = 'MY EMAIL HERE'; 

// Where to redirect after form is processed. 
$url = 'FORWARDING URL'; 

// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0'; 

// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n"; 
$space = ' ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 20)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 20 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = ' ';
}
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
?>

IT was a very simple copy-paste form, but I have no idea what on earth I'm doing.
If anyone has any ideas I would GREATLY appriciate the help!
Thanks!

$to=sammieave@ave.com,samuel@ave.com;
$subject  = "New Event Logged";
$message  = "Test";
$headers = "From: Samuel<sammieave@ave.com>;\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am having the above code but unfortunately the error I am getting is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\xampp\htdocs\CRM\support\mailer.php on line 139

I'm setting up a newsletter thing for my website.

I have a newsletter table in MySQL:
Quote

+----------------+------+--------+
| email          | mens | womens |
+----------------+------+--------+
| test2@test.com |    1 |      1 |
| test1@test.com |    1 |      0 |
+----------------+------+--------+


I am using a HTML form and this PHP code I learn't from the manual, which sends out e-mail's.
PHP:
if ($_POST['newsletter'] == 'Mens') {
   $to = '';
   $subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $body = $_POST['body'];
   $header = 'From: Me Someone <me@someone.com>';
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
}

What I want to do with the above code is send out an e-mail to all the e-mails in my MySQL database that are tagged '1' under mens.

How would I go about doing this? I'm guessing I will have to use a MySQL query in the $to = ''; that goes something like this:
$to = '$query (select from `newsletters` where `email` = 1');
?

Hello to all out there!
this is my first post,so my question may sound a bit simple. :]
I am studying PHP and MySQL and I tried to make a mailing form based on a mysql database.

My problem occured when I tried to use the PEAR mail object.

Here is my code:

// THE INCLUDED FILES
require_once ("attach_file.php"   );
require_once ("Mail.php"        );
require_once ("Mail\mime.php"   );

//THE VARIABLES TAKEN FROM THE HTML FORM OR JUST CREATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EMAIL
$my_email      = "something@gmail.com";
$email_subject = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_subject']),$server_connect );
$email_body    = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_body']   ),$server_connect );


$attached_file = $destination ;     // the $destination variable comes from the copy() function in attach_file.php
$username      = "the_username@gmail.com";
$password      = "the_password";
$host          = "smtp.gmail.com";

$attach        = new Mail_mime();
$attach -> addAttachment($attached_file);
$email_body    = $attach->get();

$extraheaders = array('from'=>$my_email,'to'=>$email_etaireias,'subject'=>$email_subject,'Bcc'=>$email_etaireias);
$headers       = $attach -> $headers($extraheaders);   // HERE GIVES ME AN ERROR!!! -->Fatal error: Method name must be a string

$smtp_info     = array('host'=>$host,'auth'=>TRUE,'username'=>$username,'password'=>$password);
$smtp          = Mail::factory('smtp',$smtp_info);


//loop through every single line of the database until there are no more lines with data
//and store each line in 3 different variables that i can use
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{ $onoma_etaireias = $row['onoma_etaireias'];
  $email_etaireias = $row['email_etaireias'];
  $website_etaireias = $row['website_etaireias'];   }

//construct the mail function .  The @ is supressing the errors created .remove it and they will be shown.
$mail = @$smtp->send($email_etaireias,$headers,$email_body);



As i searched here and there for a solution, i found that it has something to do with the way the mail-mime object creates the body of the email . I also tried to find a solution from the PEAR documentation.
do i create the headers someway wrong?????

I am using magento for sending mail with condition,

My code:

<?php
class Gta_MerchantNotification_Model_Observer {
    public function merchantremainder($Observer) {
       $order = $Observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
       $order_details = $order->getAllVisibleItems();

       $itemData = array();
       foreach ($order_details as $list) {
          $incrementid = $order->getIncrementId();
          $sku = $list->getsku();
          $name = $list->getName();
          $price = $list->getPrice();
          $Qty = $list->getQtyOrdered();
          $extra = $order->getIncrementId();
          $message = 

          "
          <tr>
          <!-- <td>$incrementid</td> -->
          <td>$sku</td>
          <td>$name</td>
          <td>$price</td>
          <td>$Qty</td>
          </tr>";

          $itemData[$list->getId()] = $message;

      }
  
      $finalMessage =  "
      <p>Order Id : $incrementid</p>
      <table border='1'>

      <tr>
      <!-- <th>Id</th> -->
      <th>Sku</th>
      <th>Product name</th>
      <th>Price</th>
      <th>Qty Ordered</th>
      </tr>";
      if (!empty($itemData)) {
          foreach ($itemData as $data) {
             $finalMessage .= $data;
         }

         $finalMessage .= "</table>";
         $this->sendMail($finalMessage);
     }

 }

 public function sendMail($message) {
   $body ="$message";
   $emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email');
   $emailTemplate->setFromName('abc');
   $emailTemplate->setBody($body);
   $emailTemplate->setSubject("Custom Email from observer");
   $emailTemplate->setType('html');
   $emailTemplate->setToEmail('abc@gmail.com');
   $emailTemplate->send();

}
}

?>

 

Output :

 

If order placed mail send to abc@gmail.com.
How to set email sender based on SKU $sku from order.

I want :

1) If SKU starts with 2, email should go to the mail id abc@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

2) If SKU starts with 3, email should go to the mail id xyz@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

3) If SKU starts with 4, email should go to the mail id qwe@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

FYI - If an order contains 10 items email should go separately based on SKU. But an order id the same must include all the emails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be?

Hi all,

I'm coding an automated mailer for a dentist office. They set appointment dates through a web interface, and then this appointment is mailed to the customer via PHP's mail() function.

However, some users are not receving the mail. They claim that it is not even in the junk mail folder. Is it because I'm setting or not setting certain properties in the header? Should I be setting something else?

Here is my code
Code: [Select]
ini_set("SMTP", "mail.isp-provider.net");
$headers = 'From: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Bcc: internal@address.com' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($customerAddress, $subject, $body, $headers);
Note that customerAddress, subject, and body are all just regular normal strings.

As I said, it works for most customers, but some customers do not receive the emails.

Hello there,

I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder.

Here is my method of emailing my clients:


function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message)
{
if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID))
{
$Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID);

$headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; 
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n";
echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message;

return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers);
}
else return InvalidAccount;
}


So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using.
