PHP - Access Email Contents
How does a web server, with a database connect to the emails it receives?
How does the web server get the contents of the emails it receives so I can parse it? Thanks Similar TutorialsI have a PHP application and am trying to allow users to import contacts from their favorite email systems. Right now, I'm targeting yahoo, gmail and hotmail - facebook friends would also be interesting. I'll need to allow users to log in, of course, and then have all of their contacts pulled into my application. From there, I'll present them to the user and allow them to pick which ones they want to email about my application. The important part is that I need to have control over what happens to the contact list to control certain aspects of my application. So, here are my questions: > Is CURL the right method to use to do this? > Are there practical examples available that I can use and where might I find them? > What things would I need to be aware of and prepare for regarding security/hacking since I'm accessing remote sites? Thanks for your guidance. I am sitting behind a firewall which blocks the http access to all popular free email providers like hotmail.com gmail.com .... The blocking is done by filtering out the domain names. So I am searching for a way to access the mailbox by a third domain e.g. mydomain123.com (which is under my control). I could imagine that there is a PHP code which can be setup on mydomain123.com which accesses the final hotmail.com mailbox by using POP3 fetches and SMTP sends. Is there such an PHP intermediate code? Peter i wanting users to be able to update there email address and check to see if the new email already exists. if the email is the same as current email ignore the check. i have no errors showing up but if I enter a email already in the db it still accepts the new email instead of bringing the back the error message. Code: [Select] // email enterd from form // $email=$_POST['email']; $queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE inv='$ivn' ") or die (mysql_error()); while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $queryuser )) { $check=$info['email']; // gets current email // } if($check!=$email){ // if check not equal to $email check the new email address already exists// $queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' "); //$result=mysql_query($sql); $checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser); if($checkuser != 0) { $error= "0"; header('LOCATION:../pages/myprofile.php?id='.$error.''); } } cheers Everything about the email is sending except the message text does anyone know what the issue could be? here is the block of code that sends the email Thanks in advance Code: [Select] $image = "http://www.visualrealityink.com/dev/clients/arzan/snell_form/images/email.png"; echo "got to process form"; $target_path = "upload/"; $path = $target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['file']['name']); $boundary = '-----=' . md5( uniqid ( rand() ) ); $message .= "Content-Type: application/msword; name=\"my attachment\"\n"; $message .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n"; $message .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$path\"\n\n"; echo $path; $fp = fopen($path, 'r'); do //we loop until there is no data left { $data = fread($fp, 8192); if (strlen($data) == 0) break; $content .= $data; } while (true); $content_encode = chunk_split(base64_encode($content)); $message .= $content_encode .

It's all working perfectly fine, but when the email is received (sent from the online form), and I open my email and click reply, there are two email addresses. The correct one (which I entered when I sent the email), and my ftp username for the site?? I've got three files that could effect this, but I was unable to locate any problems: mailer.php ( smtp send mail class) mail.php ( submission data: title, subject, etc. ) contact_form.php ( form for submission ) I am only including the file which I think is applicable (mail.php), but let me know if you would also like to see the mailer.php class.

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. 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.
Edited March 27, 2019 by slawotrend 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. Hi, I am working on php email functionality using pear with the help of below article. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-php-send-email-via-smtp-authentication.html It is working fine. But when I change "From" address other than my domain email address then it stop working. for example $headers["From"] = 'myname@mydomain.com'; -- working $headers["From"] = 'myname@otherdomain.com'; - not working. myname@otherdomain.com is working and I am able to send email separately. Any idea about this problem. - Thanks 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.

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 Hello friends, if i have the following $path = "http://*site*.com"; why can't i write the following $ORGtext= file_get_contents('$path'); it works only if i write $ORGtext= file_get_contents('http://*site*.com'); but i want to put $path instead of the url at file_get_contents is it possible and if yes then how ? thank you Hi all
So I'm back to being a php newbie after not touching the stuff for years....and straight back to being pretty sure I'm just incredibly stupid.
I want to grab the contents of a url onto a string so that I can search the string and use the contents. I think this should work:
<?php $homepage = file_get_contents('http://www.example.com/'); echo "Homepage = " . $homepage; ?>But it doesn't. What am I doing wrong, or could there be an issue with my server that means it's not able to perform this maybe? (It's working fine for everything so far) Or is there another way of achieving this? Thanks!! |
