PHP - Code E-mails Me Twice

I have this script that sends an E-mail to my custoemr when an account is created and does a Bcc to me. Every email gets sent once, then about 2 min later another one is sent. So both the customer and myself get 2 emails. I did a test and just after the mail() function i write to a text file. What is odd is that it logs the sent mail 2 times. So somehow it is going through it a second time. The time difference between the first and the second seem to usually be about 2-3 min.

For exampel this was only sent one time. My guess is there has to be something wrong with my headers, but i have been over them many times and tried different configurations.

how to tell gmail to send plan messages only

i want to send my friend a pgp-crypted mail - but this fails since the html-based mails allways do some changes to the pgp

my friend receives the mails in a broken style
they are not readable any more

plz advice me - any and all help is much appreciated

by the way i use kgpg and the editor to create the crypted message.
i do not like the enigmail-addon for tbird. +
But if i should try this - : Which credentials are needed to configure the einigmail - the public key that i have generated recently.

love to hear from you

greetings

hi, im new here i hope to learn and help in the way i can since i'm a newbie with php but here it goes.

I have some old databases i need to test, i want to mail these old users from a website i had but i need to know if the database contains invalid e-mails and remove them so i dont mess up my server's good ip reputation.
So i found the checkdnsrr function:
Code: [Select]
function checkEmail($email) {
// checks proper syntax
if(preg_match("/^([a-zA-Z0-9])+([a-zA-Z0-9\._-])*@([a-zA-Z0-9_-])+([a-zA-Z0-9\._-]+)+$/" , $email)) {

// gets domain name
list($username,$domain)=split('@',$email);
// checks for if MX records in the DNS
if(!checkdnsrr($domain, 'MX')) {
return false;
}
return true;
}
return false;
}
so everyone knows this function, i just wanted to run it to multiple e-mail addresses like from a text file. when i say multiple, i mean arround 500.000 or 50k at the time. i just want to output the bad e-mails to a text file.
hope someone can help me on this one.
thanks in advance

I have an index.php code. The code doesn't recognize UTF-8. The php identify the right part (one txt has many infos) from a .txt file and send that information to browser. Can I send this information to a specific email address instead of browser? And if Yes, can I say to this code to calculate more than one day but for more? Is this possible? Please help me with that. Thanks!

I'm building a PHP application that's connect to gmail and download the messages. I have an account that contains more than two millions messages and the PHP cannot connect to that account. What can I do?
The error is:
Mailbox has more messages (2004032) exist than maximum (1000000)

Hello everyone, it's my first post here. I was recommend this community for it's professionalism and "friendlyness". During my stay here, please excuse my english. I know it can be unpleasant for you to read a thread with terrible grammar, I hate it in my native language, I'll do my best.

Okay, so I'm having two major issues for my website to operate like I'd like it to, I've done everything I knew about, and I can't think about anything else Google didn't help me much either this time.

First one is that I seem to have a cookies/sessions problem. Well, I use Liberty Reserve to allow my members to top up their account. So I send my form to their SCI and when I either cancel or complete a transaction, I return to my website but I'm not logged in anymore! So the auto-add to balance system can't work. Alright, when I saw this I was only using sessions, so I added cookies so I could rely on them too. And there again, same thing. Doubled, tripled checked all the LR settings and everything, I know they are right. But what's really, really, weird to me and what's really doing my head in is that I'm not actually logged out, because if I use another tab/window I'm still logged in. In other words, it's only the window coming back from Liberty Reserve that won't log in. The cookies are still here and so is the session so...
Another terrible thing is that it used to work when I was on my previous host (just moved to a dedicated server, which may be causing the problems, it's the first time I administrate a dedi).
This is blocking my entire website from working.

And my second problem is with the function mail() -there again 'caused' by new server-. I don't get any error message, or anything. The e-mails with cPanel/WHM work great. Though, I have done several tests and it never reaches my Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo account. It did work with a Yopmail inbox though. So, I was focusing on 'why isn't it sending it' but since I just noticed it worked with Yopmail, I'm sure it is sending it and have no ideas why wouldn't it work with other e-mail service providers.

I hope you understood what I meant and that, hopefully, you guys can help me out with those totally handicapping issues.

Thank you,

Regards.

Hello, guys. I'm using the following code to send me an automated mail in case the user find a broken link. But there are 2 problems: 1) after submitting I'd rather not disrupt their game by refreshing the page. So, is there any way to send mail without the post refreshing? 2) if the user hits F5, the page reloads and the code runs again, sending two or more times the same email. How can I avoid duplicated emails caused by manual browser refresh?

(the most important solution currently is how to to avoid duplicated entries, in case an ajax solution is too hard to post here.)

<form name="fbrlink" action="<?= $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=ok" ?>" method="post">
<?php
echo('<input name="sbrlink" id="B1" type="button" value="broken Link?" style="border:none; background-color:#FFFFFF; font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:15px; font-weight:bold; color:#1A4877; cursor:pointer; display:block; text-decoration:underline;" onclick="this.form.submit();"/>');
?>

<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
{ if ($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] == 'page=ok') {
echo '<script type="text/javascript" >confirm("Click OK to notify us.");</script>';
mail("contact@ctt.net","report broken link","Game notified:MarioBros");
echo '<script type="text/javascript" >document.fbrlink.sbrlink.disabled = true;</script>';
?>
<script type="text/javascript" >document.fbrlink.action='<?php echo $a; ?>';
alert('<?php $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];?>');
</script>
<?php
}
else  {}
}else{
}

Hello,

New to this forum so appreciate the patience and apologize for any breaking of etiquette.

I currently have a PHP script which generates the appropriate HTML headers and body packet and would like to place it in either a Thunderbird outbox so that Thunderbird will handle sending it or put it in the Evolution outbox so Evolution will handle the actual sending of the e-mail. I've scoured the internet looking for an answer and I know it is possible because I wrote a bash script to do it a few years back that I can't find.

Would appreciate any insight.

Thanks,

I have piping set up, where when I send an e-mail to a certain address, a script executes.

This script will parse the e-mail and will post the body of the e-mails (along with a picture, if attached) to a blog.

This all works okay, except the problem I keep running into is when I send from different devices (desktop, Android phone, BlackBerry), the e-mails have different character sets or encoding.  So one e-mail will show up just fine, and then the body of another will look something like this:

Quote

--90e6ba6e83a0846c8504926b9478
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1

This is the content of the e-mail.

--90e6ba6e83a0846c8504926b9478--


So what I'm wondering is if there is any way to detect the charset/encoding and automatically decode it properly?  The only solution I have so far -- and I'm not very good with PHP, I'll admit -- is to just "hack" my way through, by using stristr() to see if the body contains certain characters (like "ISO-8859-1"), and then extracting the text that is in between, say, "ISO-8859-1" and "--".

Of course, this is very crude, and has many problems on its own.  So what I am looking for is if there is some sort of way to automatically get the body of an e-mail in plain text, regardless of whether the e-mail has an attachment, how it's encoded, or what mail client was used.

Thanks for your time!

How a can convert this html code into a php file, in order to send a variable value using GET Method and display this variable value inside the javascript code where says VARIABLEVALUE.

Thanks in adavance for your help.

Advance thank you.

Hi, I need to insert some code into my current form code which will check to see if a username exist and if so will display an echo message. If it does not exist will post the form (assuming everything else is filled in correctly). I have tried some code in a few places but it doesn't work correctly as I get the username message exist no matter what. I think I am inserting the code into the wrong area, so need assistance as to how to incorporate the username check code.

hey gurus, i am a newbie php coder.. i am learning by example.

what i am trying to do is write a piece of code which will alter 3 tables (user, bonus_credit, bonus_credit_usage)

----------------------------------------------------------------
the table structure that will be used is as follows:

user.bonus_credit
user.ID

bonus_credit.bonusCode
bonus_credit.qty
bonus_credit.value

bonus_credit_usage.bonusCode
bonus_credit_usage.usedBy

----------------------------------------------------------------
so lets say, in bonus_credit i have the following
bonusCode = 'facebook' (this is the code they have to type to redeem the bonus
qty = '10' ( number of times the bonusCode can be redeemed, but same person can't redeem it more than once)
value = '5' (this is the  amount of bonus_credit for each qty)

Now, I need to write a code that check to see if the code has been redeemed in the bonus_credit_usage table and if the user.ID exists in this table as bonus_code_usage.usedBy, then give an error that its already been used and if it hasn't been used, then subtract 1 from qty, add ID to usedBy and then add the value to the bonus_credit

-----------------------
i have started the steps just to create a simple textbox and entering a numeric value to bonus_credit, and that works.. but now i have to use JOIN and IF and ELSE.. which is a little too advanced for me.. so i'd appreciate a guide as i write the code.

if(isset($_REQUEST['btnBonus']))
