PHP - Only Allow Email Addresses To Be Submitted

Hi Everyone,

Very new to PHP and databases, so please go easy on me!

I have a series on web pages each containing a link that says 'apply here'. What I am trying to achieve is when any of these links are clicked on the user is taken to a php form page where they are asked for a series of further information such as name, telephone number etc. When they click submit this information then gets sent off to a speciifc email address.

My problem is that depending on which page the user has originally come from (the page where they clicked on the apply here link) needs to determine what email address the form information gets sent to.

I thought that the best way to achieve this would be to create a database that contains all of the email addresses (as eventually there will be alot of them) and the form page could call in the relevant email somehow... although I am totally confused on how to go about doing this.

Any help would be great! Thankyou.

I'm trying to make a script that will search the source code of a given url and strip every email address that pops up.

I already have a script that will crawl around, jumping from webpage to webpage... i just need to figure out how to strip the contents... any suggestions?

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, I got this script which I would like to send a message to all email addresses in the database or send to approved members only. Once I got the first part of this script working I can get the rest to work when sending to approved members.

Here is the form which passes the message to the script.

Code: [Select]
<?php 

include_once("data/server.php");

$all = 'unchecked';
$approved = 'unchecked';


if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {

$selected_radio = $_POST['Mailto'];

if ($selected_radio == 'all') {
$all = 'checked';

}
else if ($selected_radio == 'approved') {
$approved = 'checked';
}
}

?>

<div id="pageNav">
    <div id="sectionLinks"> <a href="admin.php?cmd=database&username=admin">Database</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=uploads&username=admin">Uploads</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=editTemplate&username=admin">Templates </a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=email&username=admin">Email</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=messaging&username=admin">Messaging</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=protected&username=admin">Protected Directory</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=filesanddir&username=admin">Files and Directories</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=usertracking&username=admin">User Tracking</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=advanced&username=admin">Advanced</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=uploads&username=admin">Uploads</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=subscriptions&username=admin">Subscriptions</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=applications&username=admin">Applications</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=searchForms&username=admin">Search Form Builder</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=categories&username=admin">Categories</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=phpBB&username=admin">phpBB</a> <a href="admin.php?cmd=mySQL&username=admin">MySQL</a></div>
  </div>
  <div id="content">
   
    <div class="page">


<form action=templates/admin/msgtest.php method=POST>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Your Message:</td>
<tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr>
<tr><td><TEXTAREA NAME="message" COLS=40 ROWS=6></TEXTAREA></td></tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td><input type = 'Radio' Name ='Mailto' value= 'yes'
<?PHP print $all; ?>
</td>
<td>Send Message to all members</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><input type = 'Radio' Name ='Mailto' value= 'yes'
<?PHP print $approved; ?>
</td>

</tr>
<tr><td colspan=2><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit></td></tr>
</table>
</form>



</table>
    </div>
   
  </div> 
</div>



And here is the code I have got so far but it doesnt work

Code: [Select]
<?php

include_once("../../data/server.php");
include("../../data/mysql.php");

if (isset($_POST['Submit1'])) {

$selected_radio = $_POST['Mailto'];

if ($selected_radio == 'all') {

$mysqlPassword = (base64_decode($mysqlpword));

$con = mysql_connect("$localhost", "$mysqlusername", "$mysqlPassword") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$dbname", $con) or die(mysql_error());

 $q2 = "select * from games_newsletter ";
$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM profiles");   
 
while ($email = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

$to = $email;
$subject = "Test Message";
$body = "This is a test message";
 $headers = "From: payments@tropicsbay.co.uk\r\n" .
     "X-Mailer: php";
 if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
   
// Redirect back to manage page
header("Location: admin.php?cmd=messaging");


} else {

echo "Approval Message Failed";

}
}
mysql_close($con);
}
}

?>
As always, any help is much appreciated

Code: [Select]
<?php
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$dropdown = $_POST['dropdown'];
$formcontent=" From: $firstname \n Surname: $lastname \n Email: $email \n Dropdown: $dropdown";

}
?>

I have recently created a small snippet of php code for posting mail and it's sweet apart from 1 thing.

I have two email addresses in the recipient section. It only sends to the last name in the list.

Is this because i have written recipient? Should it be recipients?

I need this mail to be delivered to both of the email addresses.

I'm sure it's simple for someone with expert knowledge.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have no idea what im doing wrong but this just isnt working, theres no error messages but im not getting any of the emails. Here is all the code that i had anything to do with editing, i have removed any personal info from it.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$dbhost = 'localhost';
$dbuser = ' ';
$dbpass = ' ';

$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die                      ('Error connecting to mysql');

mysql_select_db(" ", $conn);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT ****, ********** FROM **** WHERE name='*****'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$message =
"<p><u><b><font size=\"5\" color=\"#800080\">********************</font></b></u></p>
<p><b><font color=\"#800080\" size=\"4\">**************************************************</font></b></p>
<p><b><font color=\"#800080\">*********</font></b> <b><font color=\"#333333\">**********</font></b></p>

<p><font color=\"#800080\"><b>*******</b></font> <font color=\"#333333\"><a href=\"***********************************************</a></font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>";
}

$query=mysql_query('SELECT `email`,`name` FROM `users`'); //grab emails and names from database
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)) //start a loop to send an email to each individual
{
    //mail function with $row['email'] as the email address
    //I'm using phpmailer as an example here - - >
    include_once('phpMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
    
    $mail             = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"
    
    $body             = $message; //message inside the email
    
    $mail->From       = "**************"; //email address that the email is being sent from
    $mail->FromName   = "*************"; //more in depth for who the mail is from.

Hi there everyone!

I'm trying my best to Google my way through this issue, but have run into an issue I can't out-Google. I'm trying to write a script that is receiving an email, breaking it apart into it's various components and then storing into a database. I would like to sto

from name
from email
to name
to email
subject
headers
body

Here's what I've cobbled together from various tutorials and demo's:

$fd = fopen("php://stdin", "r");
$email_content = "";
while (!feof($fd)) {
    $email_content .= fread($fd, 1024);
}
fclose($fd);

//split the string into array of strings, each of the string represents a single line, received
$lines = explode("\n", $email_content);
 
// initialize variable which will assigned later on
$from = "";
$subject = "";
$headers = "";
$message = "";
$is_header= true;
 
//loop through each line
for ($i=0; $i < count($lines); $i++) {
    if ($is_header) {
        // hear information. instead of main message body, all other information are here.
        $headers .= $lines[$i]."\n";
 
        // Split out the To portion
        if (preg_match("/^To: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
            $to = $matches[1];
        }
        $toregexp = '/To:\s*(([^\<]*?) <)?<?(.+?)>?\s*\n/i';
        if(preg_match($toregexp, $email_content, $to_dissection)) {
            $toname = $to_dissection[2];
            $toemail = $to_dissection[3];
        }
        // Split out the subject portion
        if (preg_match("/^Subject: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
            $subject = $matches[1];
        }
        //Split out the sender information portion
        if (preg_match("/^From: (.*)/", $lines[$i], $matches)) {
            $from = $matches[1];
        }
        $fromregexp = '/From:\s*(([^\<]*?) <)?<?(.+?)>?\s*\n/i';
        if(preg_match($fromregexp, $email_content, $from_dissection)) {
            $fromname = $from_dissection[2];
            $fromemail = $from_dissection[3];
        }
    } else {
        // content/main message body information
        $message .= $lines[$i]."\n";
    }
    if (trim($lines[$i])=="") {
        // empty line, header section has ended
        $is_header = false;
    }
}

My issues are many. I've got from and to names that don't reflect the true data,
the from address will be the original sender and not the most recent sender if
it's forwarded and finally, the body is showing up empty. Clearly, I'm not handling this properly. With all the trouble-ticket like systems out there, there has to be a fairly bulletproof method of handling this, doesn't there?  I'm thinking I've gone about this totally the wrong way.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hello all,

I am having a bit of trouble with this contact form. Everything submits fine, errors work and all but the information isn't sent to my inbox. Can anyone point out where the problem is? Thanks in advance!

I could use some advice on how to capture and display my Users' Addresses.

On my website, I display the User's...

- Username
- Photo
- Location

...next to each Comment they post.


Right now, I just have an *optional* field on my "Registration" form and "Update Details" form which ask for "Location".

The problem, of course, is that that data isn't very useful beyond displaying it?!

But at the same time, how do I capture Addresses from around the globe?!

If all of my Users were in America, I would just do...

- City
- State
- Zip

...but what do I do if someone is from Stuttgart, Germany?!

My fear is a multinational Registration Form like this would scare people away...
Quote

(For Registrants in the U.S...)
- City
- State
- Zip

(For Registrants outside the U.S...)
- City
- State/Province/Region
- Postal Code
- Country


And how would I handle the "Country" field?  If I use a dropdown - which is usually recommended - then I'd have to maintain a very long and dynamic list, plus Users would have to scroll down through a list of a few hundred countries which my come across as *obnoxious*?!


(I'm just trying to entice people to create a User Account, so I don't want to make it difficult!!)

What is the best way to approach this?

Thanks,


Debbie

Hi

I have a couple of phpbb forums on my web space.

One is randomly throwing people off and it is getting far worse.

I have traced down the issue to the IP address. Phpbb stores the IP address and session id and checks that they match. If not it throws the user out. The session ids seem to be there OK, but the IP addresses aren't.

When it causes a problem the IP address seems to be returned as "::" (yes, 2 colons).

I have used the following routine to try and obtain a relevant IP address and it to returns "::"

Code: [Select]
function getRealIpAddr()
{
    if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP']))   //check ip from share internet
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_CLIENT_IP'];
    }
    elseif (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR']))   //to check ip is pass from proxy
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR'];
    }
    else
    {
      $ip=$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    }
    return $ip;
}

Any ideas?

All the best

Keith

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

So, to keep this as short as possible, I am almost done making a website that lets visitors send already-made text messages to people. I just paid for hosting for the site, and they told me that I can only send 100 messages in one hour. This is fine as I was already intending on setting limits per ip address.

So, I've set up MySQL and everything else works correctly. My only problem is that on the test script I've been working on over the weekend doesn't successfully check to see if an ip address exists in the database.

Let me try and better explain what I need to do:
I need the visitor's ip address to be logged on to the database the first time that they send a message in a day. (This part works.)

But before it logs their ip address, it needs to check to see if it was already logged for the day. If their ip IS there then it will check to see how many messages they've sent today, if it is less than 5 then it will let them send the message and add 1 to the log. Otherwise it won't let them send the message.


Tell me if it sounds too complicated.

If I have a string like this:
Code: [Select]
Anne Somebody <anne@email.com>, John Smith <john@hotmail.co.uk>, bob Someoneelse <bob@email.it>is there a simple way of extracting the emails? I can do the explode and trim so I am really asking how to handle the
Code: [Select]
John Smith <john@hotmail.co.uk> in a reliable way. To be left with john@hotmail.co.uk

Thanks,

Hello,

I'm attempting to write a PHP script to query WMI for an IP address of a host. The reason I'm doing this instead of getbyhostname is because NAT translations on the network can cause inaccurate results. The question is two-fold:

1) My Script is as follows
<?

$obj = new COM ( 'winmgmts://localhost/root/CIMV2' );
$wmi_network = $obj->ExecQuery("Select * From Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration");

foreach ( $wmi_network as $wmi_call )
{
    $ipaddr = $wmi_call->IPAddress;
    echo $ipaddr;
}
?>


I get the following error when running the script:
Quote

Catchable fatal error: Object of class variant could not be converted to string



2) How do I go about querying a remote host on the network with valid credentials?


Thank you
