PHP - Google Mail, Hotmail And Other Email Provider Apis
Has anyone ever used these. I want to develop a tool so users of my site can invite there friends.
Similar TutorialsHello there, I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder. Here is my method of emailing my clients: function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message) { if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID)) { $Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID); $headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n"; $headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; $headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; $headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n"; echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message; return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers); } else return InvalidAccount; } So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using. i think because of my code used to send the mail, on my site, its appearing in the spam folder of most of my clients PLUS myself is their a way to eradicate this? correct headers? etc? I am looking for a script that is used in Facebook. Wherein, user enters the email address and password and the system will automatically fetch the addresses from the address book of Hotmail or Gmail etc and sends invitation to join the site network. Do you have any link for such a script that comes free. Looking forward to that. Thanks, Faisal 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 . "\n"; $message .= "--" . $boundary . "\n"; $message .= $image . "<br />" . $_POST['name'] . "submitted a resume on our website. Please review the applications and contact the candidate if their resume is a fit for any open opportunities with the company. <br><br> Thank you. <br><br> SEI Team"; $headers = "From: \"Me\"<me@example.com>\n"; $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"$boundary\""; mail('george@visualrealityink.com', 'Email with attachment from PHP', $headers, $message); Hi, Can someone please post very straight forward lines for sending email (no attachment nothing, just a subject and one line text in body) using google smtp (ssl://smtp.gmail.com) without any help of some classes like PHPmailer? Thanks, I have my dns set so that it uses google servers to handle my email. I have a spf record: Host: @ TXT Value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all However if I want to send mail using the php mail function how do I do this? because it is getting seen a spam because I assume it is not being seen as coming from google servers but from my websites server?... what do I do in this case? I have a web app that sends out notifications. I set it up to send through Google business, but they have an outbound limit. Does anyone know of a mail service that lets you send an unlimited amount of outbound and actually works good? This topic has been moved to Other Libraries and Frameworks. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=351914.0 Hello All,
I am strugling with embending standard smtp code within the one I have. As I am using PHP ocassionaly I have problem with this.
My code is to use mail function to send email through an form with email server installed on host system where the form and server are together.
I want this code to adapt to sth that can login to google account and use google external smtp protocol to send the content of the form defined in $headers
The problem is I am using self generated captcha that validates if the email is sent and all fields are filled (currently under tests what should be filled and not filled) and it works fine
This is my code that works on a local host server:
//Set up the email headers
//Set up the email content
// Required Fileds Validation
And would like sth like this in place of $mailer , but my way is not working The code I thought would be embeded into $mailer $mail->isSMTP();$mail->Host = 'smtp.googlemail.com'; //gmail SMTP server $mail->SMTPAuth = true; $mail->Username = 'GMAIL_USERNAME'; //username $mail->Password = 'GMAIL_PASSWORD'; //password $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl'; $mail->Port = 465; //SMTP port Any idea how to adapt it to my code are welcomed and appreciated,
Thanks
Edited April 29, 2019 by slawotrend Hi guys, I have a problem with the $header variable.

"\r\n"; My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address. Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with? Any advice would be much appreciate. Thanks, Mark Please would somebody be able to show me or give me some tips as to how I go about getting an email to send in my php code? $headers = 'From: me@me.com' . "\r\n" .

I am totally lost on this one. I have never in my life used JSON and barely touched Javascript so I'm already quite behind the curve but this was my understanding of the "purpose" of an API;
You have some data in a database that others might find useful so you write a script that allows people to go in and pull data from it.
So why aren't these APIs just built using PHP? If I have a database table of first names, last names and email-addresses, and for some reason I want other people on the internet to be able to get at that, then why don't I just write a one-page script that list them all out? Then all the user has to do is "include" it in their code, right?
That's probably really over-simplistic, and I am surely missing the point. There must be a point, but I cannot find a single source anywhere with an actual decent explanation of this. What am I missing?
You never know, perhaps you're all about to tell me that most APIs are built using PHP and what I've described is pretty much it. But everything I research leads to a dead end because they all refer to one another;
Example 1 - "Oh JSON is freaking awesome. I use it because it's awesome. It's awesome for work working with APIs".
Example 2 - "Oh, APIs, yeah, you totally have to have APIs. All you have to do is use JSON. It's awesome".
Not direct quotes, but close enough! Seriously, help me out. I have a lot of public data on my server and I am positive that someone can make good use of it. But how?
Okay, below is my mailer for a contact form i created. On one site it works fine. I even have it sending to several addresses from the othersite. However this site it doesnt want to work. PHP5 and mail() function is active. <?php $Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['fullname'])); $EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['email'])); $EmailTo = "james@jd-creations.co.uk"; $Subject = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['subject'])); $answer = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['answer'])); $Comments = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); $Subject = "The Reason - Contact Us"; // validation $validationOK=true; if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false; if (Trim($answer)!=="20") $validationOK=false; if (Trim($Name)=="") $validationOK=false; if (Trim($Comments)=="") $validationOK=false; if (Trim($Subject)=="") $validationOK=false; if (!$validationOK) { print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error2.php\">"; exit; } // prepare email body text $Body = ""; $Body .= "Name: "; $Body .= $Name; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Email: "; $Body .= $EmailFrom; $Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "Comments: "; $Body .= $Comments; $Body .= "\n"; // send email $success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); // redirect to success page if ($success){ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/sent.php\">"; } else{ print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=../contact/error.php\">"; } ?> now i know it is wroking because it takes me to the sent.php page. not error.php i think it worked once. now not at all. Hi Everyone, I am trying to send email with the mail() function as per instructions at: http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php without success. The mail sends but when it arrives it doesn't render properly, I see all of the html tags with the data that's sent. My code is below: Code: [Select] <?php function processFormData($array, $form) { $errors = NULL; $message = NULL; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers = "From: <chuck@deneb-consulting.com>" . "\r\n"; $headers .="Cc: <tinwakr@bell.net>" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-to: <chuck@deneb-consulting.com>" . "\r\n"; $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" .phpversion() . "\r\n"; foreach($array as $key => $value) { //if any of the form values are empty catch them and add to error array if(empty($value) && $key != 'submit') { //build error list $errors .= '"' . str_replace('_', ' ', $key) . '" is a required field!<br />'; } else if(!empty($value) && $key != 'submit') { //capture values and insert them into a session variable $_SESSION[$key] = $value; } } if(empty($errors)) { $message = '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">' . "\r\n"; $message .= '<html><head><title>' . $form .'</title></head>' . "\r\n" . '<body><table border="1">' . "\r\n"; foreach($array as $key => $value) { //regular expression check for phone number if(str_replace('_', ' ', $key) == 'Phone Number' && !preg_match("/^([1]-)?[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{3}-[0-9]{4}$/i", $value)) { return 'Please enter a valid phone number!'; } //regular expression check for email if(str_replace('_', ' ', $key) == 'Email Address' && !preg_match("/^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9][A-Z0-9.-]{0,61}[A-Z0-9]\.[A-Z]{2,6}$/i", $value)) { return 'Please enter a valid email address!'; } if($key != 'submit') { $message .= '<tr><td>' . $key . '</td><td>' . $value . '</td></tr>' . "\r\n"; } } $message .= '</table></body></html>' . "\r\n"; mail("chuck@deneb-consulting.com", $form, str_replace("_", " ", $message), $headers); return 'Thank you, someone will contact you shortly.'; } else { return $errors; } } ?> Thanks in advance for all replies, Chuck Say I have an email info@website.com created in cPanel on a web hosting company. I want to send email notifications to users on my website. I am using PHP Mailer to send the emails. But all the emails go directly into their junk box/spam folder, unless they confirm that info@website.com is not junk. I am wondering if there is a work around for this? Hi, I'm pretty new to PHP and I am working on a form that sends and email. I want to display a message if the mail can't be sent (i.e. if mail() returns false) and a different message if mail() returns true, except it is returning false even though the emails are sending. Basically I have used: $to = 'myemail@email.com'; $subject = "Subject Line Goes here"; $headers = "From: $email"; $message = 'My message'; $mailSent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); In testing it I have used the following to determine what is going on: if (isset($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; } - echo's nothing if ($mailSent == FALSE) { echo '$mailSent = FALSE'; } - echo's '$mailSent = FALSE' if ($mailSent == TRUE) { echo '$mailSent = TRUE'; } - echo's nothing if (is_null($mailSent)) { echo '$mailSent = NULL'; } - echo's '$mailSent = NULL' echo '$mailSent ='.$mailSent; - echo's '$mailSent =' Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! When I test my php, all of the errors work, but when I actually want to send an email the form doesnt go through and I get the error message 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'? I think I may have something wrong in my mail function. Code: [Select] <?php if (empty($_POST['author'])) { $errors[] = 'Please enter a name'; } if (empty($_POST['subject'])) { $errors[] = 'Please enter a subject'; } if (empty($_POST['text'])) { $errors[] = 'Please enter your comments.'; } if (empty($_POST['email'])) { $errors[] = 'Please enter an e-mail'; } else if (!preg_match("^[_a-z0-9-]+(.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(.[a-z0-9-]+)*(.[a-z]{2,3})$ ^", $_POST['email'])) { $errors[] = 'Please enter a valid e-mail address'; } if (count($errors) == 0) { // Process form mail("solysol05@gmail.com","Subject: subject", text,"From: author <email>"); echo "Thank you for using our mail form.<br/>"; echo "Your email has been sent."; } else { echo $errors[0]; } ?> |
