PHP - Moved: How To Get Users Email Address From Mysql Database

So this is the code prior to trying to add a hyperlink

echo "<p>Name: " . $item["first_name"] . " " . $item["last_name"] . "<br> Email: " . $item ["email"]  . "</p>";

I thought that putting the <a href around the $item['email'] would make the email address a hyperlink but it does not ... it skips the email addresses completely and hyperlinks the names because all fields are $item.

echo "<p>Name: " . $item["first_name"] . " " . $item["last_name"] . "<br> Email: " . "<a href=\"mailto: {$item ["email"]} \">"  . "</p>";   

Thank you for any assistance.

Hi there everyone,

I have the below code (needs to be sanitized for SQL injection - i know   ).  Submitting to a MYSQL database.  I wish to check on form submit if the users email address already exists, and if so display a simple error message (even just a windows error message) stating "the email address you have entered already exists".

I don't really know where to start with this, or what the code should look like, so any help and direction would be massively appreciated.  All i do know, is the email column is set to unique, and when i attempt to submit using an email i know exists the code appears to run successfully without spitting out any errors (i.e. the web url changes to the below php code) but the table doesn't update (which is correct).  I just don't know how to then return the user to the form (preferably with all their info still entered) when this happens along with a nice error message...

Kind regards,

Tom.

Code: [Select]
<?
$localhost="00.000.000.00";
$username="###";
$password="###";
$database="mfirst";

$firstname=$_POST['firstname'];
$surname=$_POST['surname'];
$dob="{$_POST['dobyear']}-{$_POST['dobmonth']}-{$_POST['dobday']}";

if (isset ($_POST['permissionnewsletter']) || (!empty ($_POST['permissionnewsletter'])))
{ $permissionnewsletter = "Yes"; }
else
{ $permissionnewsletter = "No"; }

$email=$_POST['email'];
$userpassword=$_POST['userpassword'];
$telephone=$_POST['telephone'];

mysql_connect($localhost,$username,$password);
@mysql_select_db($database) or die( "Unable to select database");

$insertintocustomerdetail = "INSERT INTO customerdetail VALUES (NULL,'$firstname','$surname','$dob','$permissionnewsletter','$email','$userpassword','$telephone',now())";
mysql_query($insertintocustomerdetail);

$addressline1=$_POST['addressline1'];
$addressline2=$_POST['addressline2'];
$cityortown=$_POST['cityortown'];
$county=$_POST['county'];
$postcode=$_POST['postcode']=strtoupper(@$_REQUEST['postcode']);

$insertintoaddresstable = "INSERT INTO addresstable VALUES (NULL,LAST_INSERT_ID(),'$addressline1','$addressline2','$cityortown','$county','$postcode',now())";
mysql_query($insertintoaddresstable);

mysql_close();
?>

I have an HTML form that I have a "select"  drop-down menu that is selecting the name of the person you should send to. The names are being pulled from the Database, and here is what that code for the drop-down in the form looks like:
<?php  
echo '<select name= "First_Name" , "Last_Name">'; 
while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) { 
    $text_for_select = $array["First_Name"] . " " . $array["Last_Name"]. " " . $array["District"]; 
$value_for_select = $array["First_Name"] . " " . $array["Last_Name"] . "_" . $array["id"]; 
echo "<option></option>\n"; 
echo "<option value=\"$value_for_select\">$text_for_select</option>\n";  
} 
echo '</select>';?>

This works perfectly. However, what I want it to do is send the form to the email address of the person that is selected in the drop-down. The email address' are already entered in each record of the database in a field called "Email". I am using the $value_for_select variable to pull the id of the record, but I am unsure how to then tell the form to send to the email address of that record? Anybody know a way that this can be done?

Here is the code of the for that should be sent:
 <?php  
    if($_POST){ 
    $to = $email; 
    $subject = "WHAT SHOULD THIS BE";     
    $message  =  "Date: $date\n\r". 
                 "Dear $First_Name, $Last_Name,\n\r". 
                 "Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah.Blah Blah BLah..\n\r". 
                 
                "Sincerely,\n". 
                "$name \n". 
                "$street \n". 
                "$city, $zip \n". 
                "$email \\n". 
    $headers = "From: $email"; 
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
    // SUCCESS! 
    echo '<p class="notice">'. 
        'Thank you for your submission.  '. 
          '</p>'; 
    // clear out the variables for good-housekeeping 
    unset($date,$legislator,$bill,$name,$street,$city,$zip,$email); 
    $_POST = array(); 
} 
?>


Please help!

I have an auctions website and I want to create a feature that is similar to ebay in which users will receive an email if one of the auctions they are watching will end in less than 3 hours. I will be using a cron job to call up this page every 15 minutes. When the cron job executes, I would like it to send 1 email per auction to every user that has that auction on their watchlist if the auction will be ending in 3 hours. I don't know whether it needs to be a separate email for each user or one mass email where their emails are hidden.

The 4 tables in my database we are concerned about are "auctions, "users, "watchlists" and "products."

I am trying to use the script phpMailer to execute the code because I heard it was the best one. Anways here is what I have so far. I am missing alot because I had no clue what to do.


<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php");


$holder = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password");
mysql_select_db("database", $holder);

// NEED TO FIX THIS // Need to get ALL of the auction id's where the end time is less than 3 hours and the notification hasn't already been sent //
$auctionid = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM auctions WHERE DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 HOUR) <= end_time AND notification = 0", $holder);

// get the auction title of  EACH of the auctions selected above which is not stored in the auctions table but in the products table..will be used for body of email /// AGAIN, NEED THIS TO GET ME ALL OF THE NAMES OF AUCTIONS THAT ARE ENDING IN 3 HOURS//
$auctiontitle = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM products LEFT JOIN auctions ON auctions.product_id=products.id WHERE auctions.id = $auctionid", $holder);

// PROBABLY NEED TO FIX THIS // Need to get ALL of the email addresses  who have ANY of the above auction ids on their watchlist //
$email = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users LEFT JOIN watchlists ON users.id=watchlists.user_id WHERE watchlists.auction_id = $auctionid", $holder);

// Update the auctions table. Turn notification to 1 so the notification for that auction can't be sent again // AGAIN NEED THIS FOR ALL OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING IN 3 HOURS //
$query1="UPDATE auctions SET notification = '1' WHERE id = '$auctionid'";
mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error());



$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->From = "no-reply@domain.com";
$mail->FromName = "Site Name";


// Getting and error message for the foreach but I saw a similar example and this is what I was told to do // NEED THIS TO ADD EACH OF THE EMAIL ADDRESSES INDIVIDUALLY //

// Same as above //

   echo "Message could not be sent.";

Hi,
 
I have two html made text boxes one that is called "name" and another that is called "regnum". I also have a submit button.
 
They are both used to add data to a database.
 
The name text box should add a name to the database under the "name" heading and the regnum should add a number under the "regnum" heading
 
Here is the code for them:
 

HTML Code:
 <form action="" method="post">
 <p>
 Name: <input type="text" name="name"/>
 </p>
 <p>
 Regnum: <input type="text" name="regnum"/>
 </p>
 <p>
 <input type="submit" value="Add To Database" name = "submit2" />
 </p>
 </form>
 
Here is the PHP code that i am using for adding the user to the database:
 

PHP Code:
 $host="localhost";
$username="root";
$password="";
$database="lab2";

mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password") or die(mysql_error());

mysql_select_db("$database") or die(mysql_error());

$name = $_POST['name'];
$regnum = $_POST['regnum'];

if(!$_POST['submit2']){
echo "Enter A Vaue";
}else{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO lab2('name', 'regnum')
VALUES(NULL, '$name', '$regnum')") or die(mysql_error());
echo "User Added To Database";
}

The problem i get with this is "Undefined Index name and regnum".
 
I watched a video on youtube and this is how the guy did it but it worked for him and for some reason it doesn't work for me.
 

Can anyone help??
 

Thanks.

Hi All,

I've searched long and hard accross the web for an answer to this and finnally given in and requesting help. Here's what i have, i have a database setup and working fine. What i would like to do is for an administrator to be able to update my users details. It may sound odd, why don't you let your users update their own details? Well the administrators are dispatchers if you like, and my users are the 'dispatchees', for want of a better word. So i would like my administrators to be able to dispatch my users with routes and my users be able to see the routes that have been dispatched to them. I've setup a login area and a page that pulls there routes off the database, depending on their login details, i.e. jack will see his routes and jill will see her's independantly. This works by me editing the appropriate columns/rows of my database using phpmyadmin. What i'd like now is for administrators (who are directed to a seperate page, with more controls) to be able to do the same as me (updating the database) but by using a php form/script.

I'd like to be able to select the routes from a second table on the same database if possible, to try and keep everything tidy. So my dispatcher would select Route001 from a drop down list, this would fill in the text fields next to the route field with From To, so my dispatcher would know what route001 actually is from/ too, choose a username (now being driven from my other table) and hit dispatch. My user would login to their area, hit view dispatched routes and it would display Route 001 with the correct information.

The login area was a downloaded script i modified to suit and is called Login-Redirect_v1.31_FULL

Many thanks in advance, hope you can sort of understand what i want

I have a form with PHP validation and also a mysqli query checking for duplicates in the database for mailing address and email address in mysql.     It works fine but the customers are adding spaces in the mailing address for example  111 mailing address A V  E, 1 1 1 ma iling address A V  E etc.  and my sql query doesn't see that as an address that's a duplicate.    Their alslo adding email address like my@emailaddress.com and m.y@emailaddress.com, m.y.2@emailaddress.com etc to bypass that comparision also.    Is there anyway to stop this from happening?        

Hi. my browser ist telling me there are errors on line 3 and 4 for my code. It says summin like Notice: HTTP_CLIENT_IP and HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR are unidentified:

below is the code see if you can spot anything btw i copied down the code from beginner php tutorial 66 if you type that into youtube .
Code: [Select]
<?php

$http_client_ip = $_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
$http_x_forwarded_for = $_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
$remote_addr = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];

if (!empty($http_client_ip)){
   $ip_addr = $http_client_ip;
   
}else if(!empty($http_x_forwarded_for)){
   $ip_addr = $http_x_forwarded_for;
}else{
   $ip_addr = $remote_addr;
}

echo $ip_addr;
?>

Thanks

MOD EDIT: code tags added.

I would get the ip address of the user that is on the site. I used $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; and it doesn't show my actual ip. Is it because im using an apache server on my computer.

Hey guys

Whats the best way to take all the email addresses from a MySQL database of contact information and turn it into an array which i can use in the To: Section of sending an email in php?

Thanks.

Hi Guys,
            I have been contacted by a client who wants me to develop an application which performs the following functionality:

Lets say the domain name is xyz.com . We provide an email of our domain to the person who signup on our website for our services. Lets say the email that is given to the customer is email@xyz.com

The client wants to built PHP application in which if an email is sent to email@xyz.com it gets downloaded and is stored in the MySql Database. After the download there is going to be a set of algorithms which will decided whether to forward this email to the client or not on his email address.

I have no idea how to accomplish this functionality. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
I am working with a SMTP class to send an email. 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.

Current output:

reply-to   ftpusername@domainname.com,
correct_from_email@fromemail.com

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.
