PHP - Email From Hotmail / Gmail And Send Invitation To Join

i am using mail functions in php and i am sending mails but the mails are going to spam in gmail and for yahoo its going to inbox. my problem is i want to send the email to inbox only as most of them use gmail ....should i use any smtp or any other mail library functions?
can anyone guide me?

HI, i have a problem, a big one.
I used a php script to send some info from my html forms to my gmail. So it functions easy, somebody fills out the form and he click send, after that, his information is sent to me on my gmail, and i can work with it later. Now stupid google have some new filters (from year 2014 ) and it treats some of those mails as spam. Code is written in the way that allows me to get those mails as it is sent from the user himself, from his email. Can anybody correct my script so it won't be treated as a spam, because i know it is possible but don't know how...
here is the code - https://gist.github....67145d500c5cf47
  // Receiving variables

i have some code which sends a confrim link via the posted email. In hotmail it works fine, once the link is clicked they are confirmed but gmail adds %09 to the link making it break.

example
WHERE hash = their email hashed

posted email = test@test.com
confirm link(hotmail) confirm.php?email=HASH&o=test@test.com(works)

confirm link(gmail)confirm.php?email=%09HASH&o=test@test.com(Doesnt work)

anyone know why gmail does this?

Hello all,
 I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or  spam.
 Can anyone tell me why is this so?

 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 .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: About Wholesale Account' . "<$_POST[email]>\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: mail@gmail.com' . "\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.

Hey! I'm really stuck on my for fun project...

What it's supposed to do is quite obvious, grab an invitation code, check if it's created in the database: If it is it'll let you continue, if not it'll redirect you somewhere else, and it works great but I have two problems.

The first problem I have is how to stay on the page if it reloads (like if I get the error "you need to fill out all forms" it'll reload) but when it reloads, the saved invitation code that I grabbed previously will be gone and it'll redirect to someplace, which... I don't want to happen! I tried using sessions to save your code but a user can just open the page several times and it'll create multiple sessions and he can therefore register multiple accounts when only one is meant to be registered or something, I'm kind of confused on this stage.

Secondly I want to save the code used to register with in a table but this wont work, IDK why but it just won't.

<?php
include("connect.php");

$invite = $_GET['code'];
$validate_invite = mysql_query("SELECT XX FROM XX WHERE invite = '$invite'");
$rows = mysql_num_rows($validate_invite);
if($rows>0)
{
}
else
{
header('Location: /someplace');
}
?>

<?php
include("include/header.php");
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" name="register">
email
<input type="text" name="email">
username
<input type="text" name="username">
password
<input type="text" name="password">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="register">
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']) ) {

$email = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['email']);
$username = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password = $_POST['password'];

if (!$email || !$username || !$password) {
echo 'you need to fill out all forms';
exit ();
}

$register_query = 'insert into XX (username, password, email, invite)
values("'.$username.'", "'.md5($password).'", "'.$email.'", "'.$invite.'"';
mysql_query($register_query);
}
?>

If someone would care to help me out I would be very happy, I know I explained it kind of complicated and confusing but you get the point, hopefully.
I love you phpfreaks:)

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.

I would prefer to receive one Email with 4 sections of data. Any help greatly appreciated.

$email="to@email.com";
$from="from@email.com";
$msg="";
$subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."";
 
$msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Absent or Present: ".$values["attendance_status"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class: ".$values["classname"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class Date: ".$values["attendance_date"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Amount Received: ".$values["cash_received"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Paid For: ".$values["cash_whatfor"]."\r\n";
 
$ret=runner_mail(array('to' => $email, 'subject' => $subject, 'body' => $msg, 'from'=>$from));
if(!$ret["Sent"])
echo $ret["message"];

i wrote this code

$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";

why please?

Hi I have a form that I want people to fill out and then click the button and it sends me an email. My problem is that it doesn't send me any emails, I have looked around and I don't seem to find any thing.

This is my form in application_form.php

Code: [Select]
<form action="application_form" method="POST">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Full name</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="name" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Email address</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="email" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Message</td>
    <td><textarea name="message" cols="29" rows="5"></textarea></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Message" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

and this is the php on the same application_form.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  // Collect variables
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  // Send email
  $body = "The following feedback has been submitted:\n\n";
  $body .= "Name: $name\n";
  $body .= "Email: $email\n";
  $body .= "Message: $message";
  mail ("cerberus478@gmail.com","Feedback Received",$body,"From: cerberus478@gmail.com");

  // Output confirmation
  echo "<p>Your message has been received.</p>";
}
?>

Hi guys, i have a custom made php that collect all the info in admin page (long story short), there's a button called "Approve" I would like to send back an email to user who applied with picture, once Approved button is pressed, so here's the script:

Hello,
I have a registration page and when a user registers I want to send their email an activation code.
To test I have the following code.

<?php
//Send activation Email

$to = $Email_address;

$subject = "www.WEBSITE.com/";

$message = "Welcome to my website!\r\rYou, or someone using your email address, 
has completed registration at WEBSITE. You can complete registration by clicking the 
following link:\rhttp://www.WEBSITE.com/register.php?action=verify&amp;$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?

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!

Okay, I got the other parts of this script to input the form information into my database, but this part of the code is not sending the user the activation email. Please Help!?

I've attached the complete script for an extra pair of eyes. Thanks

<?php

 if(isset($_POST["submit"])) {



    $errors = array();

    $name = $_POST['name'];

    $email = $_POST['email'];

    $comment = $_POST['comment'];

    $to = "reboosttechnologies@gmail.com";

    $from = $_POST['email'];

    $headers = "From: $from";

    $flag = false;

    $success = mail($to,$comment,$headers);

    $emailReg = '/^([a-z0-9_\.-]+)@([\da-z\.-]+)\.([a-z\.]{2,6})$/ ';



    if(!($name) || !($email) || !($comment)){

        if(!$name){

            $errors[]="Missing Name";

            }

        if(!$email){

            $errors[]="Missing Email";

            }

        if(!$comment){

            $errors[]="Missing Comment";

            }

            $json_response = json_encode($errors);

                 

        }elseif(!preg_match($emailReg,$email)){

            $errors[] = "Not a valid email address";

            $json_response = json_encode($errors);

            }elseif($success){

                  $flag = true;



                return $flag;}else{

                

                $json_response = json_encode("Thanks for your comment");

                }

                echo $json_response;





}

?>
