PHP - How To Create An Email Confirmation

Hi,

I'm new here and new to php.  My first attempt at a php project actually so I'm hoping to get some help.

I want people to register at my site but I don't want them to put false emails on it.

So I used the coding from this website http://www.phpeasystep.com/workshopview.php?id=24 to provide codings for forms and email confirmation links.

The process worked up to when I click on the confirmation link (at testing) from the email and the link returns to a blank webpage.  No data is transferred from "temp_members_db" table  to "registered_members" table at all.

I'll attach print screen of my tables.

Hoping that someone can point out to me where I'm going wrong as I can't seem to get myself out of this one.

Hello,

When a user sends a message using my contact form, they will get a confirmation to the supplied email to confirm that the email has been recieved, one problem is, the auto-reply message displays "donotreply@website.com" at the bottom of it, here is some of my code:


                //AUTO-REPLY CLIENT CODE START

                $confirmation = $visitor_email;
$consubject="Your message has been recieved";
$body2 = "Hello $name, \nThe below message has now been recieved.\n\n >> $user_message <<\n\nWe will reply to you shortly.\n\nThank you,\n\nThe website Team.\n\n\nThis is an automated message, please do not reply to it.\n".
$fromnoreply = 'donotreply@website.com';

                //AUTO-REPLY CLIENT CODE END

                //TO WEBMAIL CODE START

$to = $your_email;
$subject="Contact form - $name";
$from = $visitor_email;
$from = $your_email;
$ip = isset($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']) ? $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] : '';
$body = "A user  $name submitted the contact form:\n".
"Name: $name\n".
"Email: $visitor_email \n".
"Message: \n ".
"$user_message\n".
"IP: $ip\n";

                //TO WEBMAIL CODE END

                //headers 
$headers = "From: $from \r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $visitor_email \r\n";
$headers2 = "From: $fromnoreply \r\n";
$headers2 .= "";
                 
                // the important stuff!, yes definately! JAMES 
mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers);
                mail($confirmation, $consubject, $body2,$headers2);
header('Location: ?sent'); //where shall i go once message is sent?? Possibly here. *wink*


The above code automatically sends the below email to the client aswell as sending the clients message to me.

Hello Bob Smith,
The below message has now been recieved.

 >> This is a test <<

Thank you,

This is an automated message, please do not reply to it.

My objective is to remove the displayed email at the bottom of the message.

Many thanks

I want to send confirmation email to 2 different email boxes.

$this->load->library('email');
//$config['mailtype'] = 'html';
//$this->email->initialize($config);

$this->email->from('no-reply@mymail.com 'Site team');
$this->email->to($em);

$this->email->subject('Welcome');
$msg = 'You have registered';

$this->email->message($msg);

$this->email->send();
}
thanks

I know I'm probably doing something wrong, can anyone help?

I have written a form script that submits the form data to me.  This part works fine.  I also want to send the sender a confirmation e-mail.  I have written this part of the code also, but the from line in the confirmation e-mail is the e-mail of the ISP and not mine.  Any suggestions?
