PHP - [help] Smtp Issue

Hello,

Something that's been really bugging me the last days is a problem in PHP, the mail(); function, so here goes.

First, my script:

Code: [Select]
$to = "valid@hotmail.com";
$subject ="contact form";
$body = "Hello, you have been contacted";
$from = "$_POST['email'];
$headers = 'From : valid@hotmail.com'."\r\n".'Reply-To: valid@hotmail.com';
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo "worked";
} else {
echo "didn't work";
}

I'm using Ubuntu linux and have set up an SMTP server like so:

Code: [Select]
sudo apt-get install postfix
And configured it.

I have also forwarded TCP port 25 to the server.

Problem: I run the script and it echos 'worked', meaning that there was no error. However, I don't get a mail sent into my inbox.   

Thanks in advance,
Drmota

Hi Guys, I just write the code in php but mail function is not working rest everything is working fine.. i tried other script but that also not working.. Than i came to know that my hosting server only use SMTP.. So i need help to do that..   Code Below   <?php

<?php
$SMTP = fsockopen("smtp.libero.it", 25); 

$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); 

fputs($SMTP, "HELO hello\r\n");
fputs($SMTP, "MAIL From: <testing@libero.it>\r\n"); 
fputs($SMTP,"RCPT TO: <testinggs@libero.it>\r\n"); 
$InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); 


echo $InputBuffer;
?>


how do i get the server/smtp response to show if the email is valid or not?
550 RCPT TO:<testinggs@libero.it> User unknown

250 RCPT TO:<good@libero.it> OK

I am trying to integrate php mail script on my website Logon Utility but getting error such as : 

 

 <?php

Does any know how to set SMTP Mail Configuration using the gmail account?

I'm having a rough time getting an AS3 application working with a PHP script.

The PHP script takes POST variables and then sends an email using SMTP.

When running it through a standard HTML form, the PHP side works perfectly.

However, when I send the exact same POST variables through AS3 to the script, I get this error.

Failed to set sender: phpemailtesting@gmail.com [SMTP: Failed to write to socket: not connected (code: -1, response: )]

So, I'm not really sure what the issue is here... Here's some code that might help.

//print_r($_POST);
require_once('Mail-1.2.0/Mail.php');

$from = isset($_POST['emailfrom']) ? $_POST['emailfrom'] : '';
$to = isset($_POST['emailsubject']) ? $_POST['emailto'] : '';
$bcc = isset($_POST['bcc'])? $_POST['bcc'] : '';
$subject = isset($_POST['emailsubject']) ? $_POST['emailsubject'] : '';
$body = isset($_POST['emailbody']) ? $_POST['emailbody'] : '';
$ssl = isset($_POST['ssl']) ? $_POST['ssl'].'://' : '';
$smtp_server = isset($_POST['smtpserver']) ? $_POST['smtpserver'] : '';
$password = isset($_POST['emailpassword']) ? $_POST['emailpassword'] : '';
$port = isset($_POST['port']) ? $_POST['port'] : '';
$success_counter = 0;
$fail_counter = 0;
$bigerror;

if($from!='' && $to!='' && $subject!='' && $body!='' && $smtp_server!='' && $password!='' && $port!='') {
if($bcc!='') {
$bcc_array = explode(',',$bcc);
}
$host = $ssl . $smtp_server;
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array('host'=>$host, 'port'=>$port, 'auth'=>true, 'username'=>$from, 'password'=>$password));

$header = array('From'=>$from, 'To'=>$to, 'Subject'=>$subject);
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $header, $body);

        if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
$bigerror = $mail->getMessage();
$fail_counter++;
           //echo("<p>Message failed".$to." :<br />" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
        } else {
$success_counter++;
         //echo("<p>Message successfully sent to <b>". $to ."</b>!</p>");
        }

for($counter=0; $counter<count($bcc_array) && $counter<=99; $counter++) {
$header = array('From'=>$from, 'To'=>$bcc_array[$counter], 'Subject'=>$subject);
$mail = $smtp->send($bcc_array[$counter], $header, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
$bigerror = $mail->getMessage();
//echo("<p>Message failed".$bcc_array[$counter]." :<br />" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
$fail_counter++;
} else {
         //echo("<p>Message successfully sent to <b>". $bcc_array[$counter] ."</b>!</p>");
$success_counter++;
}
}
//echo "<br /><br />Successful emails: " . $success_counter;
//echo "<br />Failed emails: " . $fail_counter;
echo $success_counter.",".$fail_counter.",".$bigerror;
} else {
echo "error";
//echo '<p>Some information is missing, please try again!</p>';
}


Then, the AS if anybody's interested in seeing it.

Code: [Select]
//Create loader to load emailer.php
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); 
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://tendollartools.com/testmail/emailer.php"); 

//Create POST variables
var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(); 
variables.emailfrom = preferences["smtpLogin"];
variables.emailto = preferences["smtpLogin"];
variables.smtpserver = preferences["smtpServer"];
variables.emailpassword = preferences["smtpPassword"];
variables.ssl = preferences["smtpSSL"];
variables.port = preferences["smtpPort"];
variables.bcc = emails;
variables.emailsubject = preferences["emailSubject"];
variables.emailbody = preferences["emailBody"];

//Set method to POST and set variables as the vars to send to emailer.php
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
request.data = variables; 

//Load emailer.php and run the onEmailComplete function when finished loading
loader.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onEmailComplete); 
loader.load(request);
The preferences object has all the correct information in it... so this is where I'm confused. Why will the exact same POST information work from an HTML form, but not when sent through AS?

Hello all,
i currently have a yahoo hosting and since they have a limit of outgoing emails, i want to use smtp to send emails from another server.
Below is the code i'm using (phpmailer for PHP 4):
<?php
include_once("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1; 
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->Host       = "mail.domainname.info";
$mail->Port       = 25; 
$mail->Username   = "web@domainname.info";
$mail->Password   = "password";

$subject = "domainname";

$body = $mail->getFile("message/header-mail.php");
$body = "<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"540\">
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top: 50px;\" >
<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #F58220;\">
text goes here
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>";
$body .= $mail->getFile("message/footer-mail.php");
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->From       = "noreply@domainname.com";
$mail->FromName   = "domainname";

$mail->AddAddress("testemail@gmail.com", "firstname lastname");

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->MsgHTML($body);

if ($mail->Send()) {
echo "Message sent!";
} else {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>

the code above gives me this error when i run it: SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No route to host (65) Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. 
The above script is working if i run it directly on the mailing server instead of the yahoo one.

Thanks for the help

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'm getting the following error:

Quote

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in (file path)


I'm sure this error has been posted before, but I've searched and can't find a solution. I'm running XAMPP 1.7.3 with the Mercury/32 mail server v.4.72, which IS set to permit SMTP relaying of non-local mail. Is there anything I can change in php.ini, or anywhere else for that matter, to solve this?

I'm tearing my hair out with this... If I can just get it to send out this email, my project is finished, but I've been wrestling with this mail() function for about 3 hours. 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hello i m newbie to PHP.  I am trying to host the website on my laptop but due to some configuration i cant send the emails through php script. I am trying send mail through mail() but not able to sent mail.

heres the code:
$to = "jwalant.baria@gmail.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}

Output:
Message delivery failed..

I read the previous post here. but  I am not able to figure out what to do about it.
Can anyone tell me what setting i do in my php.ini? or any other that necessary settings require for this.
i don't have SMTP server on my laptop so is there any method from which i can setup the SMTP server on laptop.?

I use apache HTTP 2.2 and PHP 5.3.4

Rest of the website working correctly but only mail not working.

TY..!!

Hi,
I am looking for a script which will help me to send prebuilt e-mail to people with attachments.
Something like this >>>

To : [ ________________                                               ]  <--Textbox
Subject : [                         _____________] <-- Subject
Main body :
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]
[___________________]       <-- with html

[ Submit ]

I would like to attach 5 photos in .jpg which are hosted on server.

Now everything is prebuilt except "To : " as peoples email ID will always change. When Submit is clicked, main body Data and attachment will be sent to "To :" person with SMTP and not php mail()

Well I have covered till sending mail with SMTP, using PEAR PHP, but I am not able to send attachments i.e. photos.

I have 2 pages, index.php - 1st page which includes form and button
sendmail.php - Includes all function and main data
Following is the code of sendmail.php
<?php
include("Mail.php");
include('Mail/mime.php');

$to = $_POST["to_textbox"];
$from = $_POST["from_textbox"];
$subject = $_POST["subject_textbox"];
$message = $_POST["content_textbox"];
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\n";

/* SMTP server name, port, user/passwd */
$smtpinfo["host"] = "xbc.pqr.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "465";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "user";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "pass";
/////////////////Attachments Section Start //////////////
$file = '/home/xyzuser/public_html/xbx.pqr.com/mail1/img/linux_logo.jpg';
$crlf = "\n";
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->addAttachment($file, 'image/jpeg');
//do not ever try to call these lines in reverse order
$attach= $mime->get();
///////////////Attachment Section ends ////////////////

/* Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method */
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
/* Ok send mail */
$mail_object->send($to, $headers, $subject, $message, $attach);

?>
Now problem is, it is not sending linux tux logo from "img" folder i.e. mail sent with just text from previous page's textbox. It is not handling with attachment i.e. photo, what to do ?

Thanks to http://pear.php.net/manual/en/packag...me.example.php

Hi I really would appreciate if some phpfreak can help me with this please .

I need to my contact page send emails so that when recipient receives it, it comes with the correct domain  (same as the web address) it is coming from rather than the server name.

At the moment they are coming as    abcd20@elessar.nocdirect.com

and would like them come as abcd20@myowndomain.com  (lets say my password for that email is 'zzzaaa' and the domain was  myowndomain.com )

Here is my email contact php script which works fine and hopefully would not have to change too much.

My Contact form is posting to 'send.php' . On top of my contacts page there is a js script for 'jquery.js' and some jQuery stuff for validation..

Have seen many scripts but could not adapt to my existing send.php  script. Can you please help?
