PHP - Email Pipe Script Won't Save Attachments.

Hi all

I'm trying to send an automated email of a zip file.  However it seems to be just reading the files into the body of the mail rather than attaching a single zip archive containing several files.

I receive the mails, but I effectively want a blank message body with a zip file attached.

Please see code below, any ideas why this is not working.  I'm a bit of a newbie and never used this before so any pointers would be good.

<?php
//Send Zip file as attachment

//Set Email and attachment details
$to = "me@123.com";
$from = "Visionnet <DO_NOT_REPLY>";
$subject = "Subject";
$message = "Please see attached file";
$fileatt = "wiki_zip.zip";
$fileatt_type = "application/zip";
$fileatt_name = "wiki_zip.zip";


//Read in the attachment
$file=fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data=fread($file,filesize( $fileatt));
fclose($file);

//Add the MIME content

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

// Add the Headers for file attachment

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" . 
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" . 
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";
$message = "This is a multipart message in MIME format.\n\n" . "--{$mime_boundary}\n" . "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" . "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" . $message . "\n\n";

//Base64 encode file data
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

//Add attachment to message

$message .= "--{mime_boundary}\n" . 
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" . 
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . 
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" . 
" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" . 
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" . 
$data . "\n\n" . 
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n";

//Send message
$ok = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "$from");
if($ok)
{
echo "mail sent";
}
else
{
echo "mail failed";
}

Hello

I have a database table containing users uploaded word docs as long blobs (I know in an ideal world these should be in a filesystem, not a table but that wasn't possible)

I'd like to be able to generate an email with php and send out these files as attachments. I have pear mail installed and can get this to send out emails with attachments form a file share no problems. Getting it to work with blobs escapes me though. Is this possibile of do I need a different class?


Code: [Select]
include('../db_connection.php');
$query1 = "SELECT id, name, type, content, size FROM upload WHERE lref='" . $_POST['lref'] . "'";
$result2 = $mysqlilsr->query($query1) or die ($mysqlilsr->error);

list($id, $name, $type, $content, $size) = $result2->fetch_array();

//echo $name . '<br/>';
//echo $content . '<br/>';
//echo $type . '<br/>';
//$fileattname = file_get_contents($_POST['attachment']);

$fileattname = file_get_contents($_POST['attachment']);

$from_mail = "email address";
$replyto = "email address";

//phpinfo();
//mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message);

$headers = array(
    'From' => $from_mail,
    'Subject' => $subject,
    'Cc' => $replyto,
);

$body = $header . $spacer .$message . $spacer . $footer;

$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime->setTXTBody($body);
$mime->addAttachment(base64_encode($content), $name, $type, "iso-8859-1");
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$mailer =& Mail::factory('mail');
$res = $mailer->send($_POST['email'], $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($res)) {
    echo 'error';
} else {
    'success';
}

Hey All,

I am having issues understanding how this works. I am trying to do a quote and send out 5 images of the product. I cannot seem to get how I get the images sent with the email.

If anyone can take a look I would greatly appreciate it.

I have a script that generates an excel spreadsheet, and attaches it to an email ready for mailing. Now, I can make it email the attachment no problem.

I have searched for solutions on inserting 3 images in the email as well, but to no avail. I found a script that I thought could work, but it just sends the script via email and nothing else.

Does anybody know of a good way to do this? 

Perhaps someone can help me with this script?

Hi

I'm very new to PHP. I've been searching high and low for a script that will process a simple form and also allow a file attachment.

I've tried loads of different ones and none of them work as I want. I do actually have one working but this doesn't have any validation of the file.

Can anyone please point me in the direction of a script that will allow me to do this.

Thanks

I would like to store PDF file into mysql (this part works) and then send it as email attachment and it should be retrieved from mysql table.

Here's the code I have for now, but what it gives me is 0bytes large PDF file
Saving PDF to mysql (it works), because size of blob in mysql table is OK.
$fp      = fopen('generated.pdf', 'r');
$content = fread($fp,filesize('generated.pdf'));
$content = addslashes($content);
fclose($fp);

Hi,
i have tried everything i can think of to get this to work correctly. What is below here, is what i have last tried to work with..:
basically the script allows the use to register an email account on a cpanel domain.

Everything works perfectly but then i added a option for banned words now i cant  get the script to work..
basically what happens is:
 the user creates an email account, if the account is not a banned word and does not exist, then the message echoes success, and the $_Post values are also entered into the database under the users name. and the email is also created with the $f fopen
if success the email form also does not show.. so only one email per user.. i just cant get it to work with the banned words included..
what to note::
this is a function in a function..



$bannedemailwords='customerinformation,custinfo,customerinfo,custtext,custsupport,customersupport,admin,accounts';
$bannedmail=explode(',', $bannedemailwords);
$bannedmail = array_unique($bannedmail);
sort($bannedmail);
foreach($bannedmail as $noemail)
//the selected username

if ($Config['enablemyemailapp_enable'] == '0' && $_POST['cfg_enablemyemailappaddress_enable'] !== $noemaill && $_POST['cfg_enablemyemailappaddressdomain_enable'] !== 'Select a domain'){

Hi, n0obie here.  I'm trying to identify where my customers are coming from via emails I've sent/received. However, many email providers (namely Gmail) have circumvented this by disallowing IP address geolocation/image caching.

I found this site: http://www.wallpaperama.com/forums/how-to-save-html-output-code-from-php-script-t6898.html
it demonstrates how to save html output code from php script. here is an example: http://ads4agents.com/date.php

I cant get it to work on my site...where is the correct place ad these:
ob_start();

$HtmlCode= ob_get_contents();
ob_end_flush();


How can I get this to work in my php?

view_ad.php

<html>
<body>
<center>
<br/>
<h1>Apartment Reference #: <?php
echo $_POST["reference"]; ?><br /></h1>
<br/>
<?php echo $_POST["application"]; ?>, <?php echo $_POST["deposit"]; ?><br />
<?php echo $_POST["pets"]; ?><br />
<br/>
<?php echo $_POST["community"]; ?><br />
<?php echo $_POST["interior"]; ?><br />
<?php echo $_POST["amenities"]; ?><br />
<br/>
<?php echo $_POST["contact"]; ?><br />
<a href="<?php
echo $_POST['website'] ?>"><?php echo $_POST['website'];?></a><br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
</body>
</html>

I am looking for the code|script to put on my update.php that allows uploaded images to be saved in my database (chmod) 777?

PLEASE HELP! 

Hi Everyone!  Thanks in advance for taking the time to review my post.  I am pretty new to PHP so please excuse my ignorance.

I am working a project for myself.  I want to be able to send out newsletters to my customers and sponsors.    I have written the code and here it is:

<?php
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$email = "bubba@bubba.com";
$headers = "From: $email";
$email_list = file("elist.txt");
$total_emails = count($email_list);
for ($counter=0; $counter<$total_emails; $counter++) {
   $email_list[$counter] = trim($email_list[$counter]);
   }
$to = implode(",",$email_list);


if ( mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers) ) {
   echo "The email has been sent!";
   } else {
   echo "The email has failed!";
   }
?>

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In my elist.txt file - I have two fields.   Name and email.

Bubba|bubba@bubba.com
Oohay|oohay@yahoo.com

If i leave the names out of this file, the email script works great!

I want to leave the names in there and reference them in my email that I am sending out to be more personal. 

Can this be done and can you help?

Thanks!
Mike

Code: [Select]
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name3 WHERE review_show='n'";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$num_results=mysql_num_rows($result);
if($num_results > 1){
$message="You have ".$num_results." reviews unapproved.";
mail('example@example.com','GHP Reviews', $message, 'From: example@example.com');
}

$sql2="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name4 WHERE rma_issued='n'";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2);
$num_results2=mysql_num_rows($result2);
if($num_results2 > 1){
$message="You have ".$num_results2." RMA Numbers Requested.";
mail('example@example.com','GHP RMA Number Requests', $message, 'From: example@example.com');
}

The reviews email is being sent, however, the RMA email is not.

EDIT: Nevermind, $num_results and $num_results2 should have been > 0 not > 1.

Hi,
I have made a basic html site and it has two forms on it. I have the forms linking to a file called process.php.
Basically i need to know what code to put in the php file in order for the forms to save whatever is entered in them to a txt file on my server or computer.
Or any other easier way to do the same thing, save the content of two forms on my site.
Hope i posted this in the right forum subject.
Thanks very much for anyone that helps.

Hey all,

Let's say I want to do something like this:

Code: [Select]
<?php
function exists($a){
$b ||= $a;
}

echo exists(1);
?>
Basically, every time exists is called, it will only assign b to a if b  isn't already initialized.

What's the most effective way to achieve the equivalent in php? ternary?

Thanks for response.
