PHP - Reading Emails

Hi guys,

I am using following code for sending out confirmation email after successful transaction to the user. But, I users are not getting any confirmation emails. Can somebody help me out here. May be I am doing wrong in "$to" function as $sender_email is at previous form, So how can I use Session here? If I am wrong here?
Any someone help? Many Thanks in advance.

$to = "$sender_email";
$subject = "Your Transaction";

$headers = "From: Company <company@abc.com>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: Company <company@abc.com>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\n";
$message = "Dear ".$rs["sender_name"].", ".$_email_nl.$_email_nl;
$message .= "Your paid amount ".$amount." ".$rs["currency"]." has been added to desired account.".$_email_nl.$_email_nl;
$message .= "Regards,";
$message .= "my company";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hi This subject doesn't really have a category but is driving me mad. I use the mail() function to send out emails to a news group forum that I have created. This forum does the same. I am getting the emails placed in a spam folder. Is there any way around this. I have been told that it has something to do with no reverse DNS. I get emails like DoNotReply@bt.com. This email address doesn't exist. How does the email system know this, and is there a way around it.

TIA

Desmond.

I'm trying to do a query as such:
SELECT * FROM projects WHERE user = {$user}

and $user = a secured email. but I'm getting this error:
Code: [Select]
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '@gmail.com' at line 1

Why am I getting this error?

Thank you very much!

hello,

just a quick question, as im new to php but think its probably an easy answer. How would i make the code below send an email to the address it pulls from the database (which it already does) and to another address i.e example@example.com

$to = "$slide[email]";


thanks,
gavin

hi i need to send around  1000  emails per day to my website users as notifications on their activities and also need bulk email capability to target 20000 users at a time when required. I am currently using gmail smtp but it has restrictions on the both bulk mailing and the no. of emails that can be sent in a day . What should i do ?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

Can anyone spot where my error is or why I might be getting multiple emails sent? Code: [Select]
$getNEWid2 = mysql_query("SELECT ID FROM ".$conf['tbl']['users']." ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1 ");
WHILE ($NEWid2 = mysql_fetch_array($getNEWid2)){
$send = mysql_query("SELECT name,user,email from ".$conf['tbl']['users']." WHERE ID=$NEWid2[ID]");
   WHILE($newsiteuser = mysql_fetch_array($send)) {
//emails sent here//
}}

I am trying to write a program that sends out a newsletter but I am lost at returning an array of emails. This is what I have

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

        $mail = new PHPMailer;
        $subject = $_POST['subject'];
        $text = $_POST['newsletterBody'];
        $unsubscribe = "<br /><br /><br /><br />If you would no longer like to receive these emails, please <a href='removeemail.php'>Click Here</a> to unsubscribe.";
        $mail->IsSMTP();                                      // Set mailer to use SMTP
        $mail->Host = 'localhost';  // Specify main and backup server
        $mail->Port = '465';
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;                               // Enable SMTP authentication
        $mail->Username = '****EMAIL ADDRESS****';                            // SMTP username
        $mail->Password = '****EMAIL PASSWORD*****';
        $mail->SMTPAuth = true;
        $mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';                            // Enable encryption, 'ssl' also accepted

        $mail->From = '****EMAIL ADDRESS****';
        $mail->FromName = '****NAME****';
        
        $mail->AddAddress('****EMAIL ADDRESS****', '****NAME****');
        
        $email = getEmail("", $DBH);
        
        
        foreach ($email as $newEmail)
                {
                    $addEmail = $newEmail['email_addr'];
                    $mail->AddAddress($addEmail);
                    $DBH = null;
                }
        

        $mail->AddReplyTo('****EMAIL ADDRESS****', '****NAME****');
    
        $mail->WordWrap = 50;                                 // Set word wrap to 50 characters
        $mail->IsHTML(true);                                  // Set email format to HTML

        $mail->Subject = $subject;
        $mail->Body    = $text . "<br /><br /><br /> To unsubscribe to this email please  <a href='www.raven-consult.com/newsletter_remove.php'>Click Here</a>";
        $mail->AltBody = $text;

        if(!$mail->Send()) {
           echo 'Message could not be sent.';
           echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
           exit;
        }
        
        
        echo "Message has been sent <a href='newsletter.php'>Return back</a>";

?>

This is the portion of the includes file that you need to know. 

function getEmail($inId, $DBH)
    {
        if (!empty($inId))
        {
            $blogstmt = $DBH->prepare("SELECT email_addr FROM newsletter_emails WHERE id = :userId");
            $blogstmt->bindParam(":userId", $inId);
            $blogstmt->execute();
            $postArray = $blogstmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        }
        else
        {
            $blogstmt = $DBH->prepare("SELECT * FROM newsletter_emails");
            $blogstmt->execute();
            $postArray = array();
        
        $results = $blogstmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
        foreach($results as $row){
            $myPost = new nlEmails($row['id'], $row['email_addr'], $DBH);
            array_push($postArray, $myPost);
        }
        }
    
        
        
        return $postArray;
        $DBH = null;
    }
 
class nlEmails {
    public $id;
    public $email;
    
    function __construct($inId=null, $inEmail=null, $DBH)
    {
        if(!empty($inId))
        {
            $this->id = $inId;
        }
        if(!empty($inEmail))
        {
        $this->email = $inEmail;
        }
    }
}

When I try and submit the newsletter to be sent out all I get back is this error.    "Cannot use object of type nlEmails as array ......"

Hello, I am new to this forum, and I am super desperate to get my problem fixed. I am also very new with PHP code.   I have a client I made a website for and she has an HTML form page for her customers to fill out, and the form is supposed to send to her email, but it is not.    Some issues I have come along, but not resolved a Setting up PHP on my computer? not sure how to do this; Someone told me that under <C:/inetpub> there is supposed to be a "sendmail" folder? I just recently made one, but im not sure if i did it correctly; Another issue could just be my PHP code.

Attached is my PHP page.   Thank you!

Hello,
I'm trying to send an email with a PDF attachment. The email is sending, but the attachment will not open. Any help you can give is appreciated. Code snippets below:

function mail_attachment($filename, $path, $mailto, $from_mail, $from_name, $replyto, $subject, $message) {
    $file = $path.$filename;
    $file_size = filesize($file);
    $handle = fopen($file, "r");
    $content = fread($handle, $file_size);
    fclose($handle);
    $content = chunk_split(base64_encode($content));
    $uid = md5(uniqid(time()));
    $name = basename($file);
    $header = "From: ".$from_name." <".$from_mail.">\r\n";
    $header .= "Reply-To: ".$replyto."\r\n";
    $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary=\"".$uid."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-type:text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $message."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Type: application/pdf; name=\"".$filename."\"\r\n"; // use different content types here
    $header .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\r\n";
    $header .= "Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$filename."\"\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= $content."\r\n\r\n";
    $header .= "--".$uid."--";
    if (mail($mailto, $subject, "", $header)) {
        print("mail send ... OK"); // or use booleans here
    } else {
        print("mail send ... ERROR!");
    }
}

$my_file = "Adol_Packet_v2.pdf";
$my_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/homepages/35/d350375870/htdocs/html/";
$my_name = "Company Name";
$my_mail = "atheneris@yahoo.com";
$my_replyto = "atheneris@yahoo.com";
$my_subject = "Welcome Email From Carlock & Associates";

$my_message = "Test Message";

mail_attachment($my_file, $my_path, $email_to, $my_mail, $my_name, $my_replyto, $my_subject, $my_message);

I am using this code in my "create_account.php" script...

Code: [Select]
mail($trimmed['email'], ' Please Activate Your Account', $body, 'From: admin@mywebsite.com <admin@mywebsite.com>');

It is taking anywhere from one to several hours to receive this e-mail in my inbox?!

It used to take seconds, and now takes forever.

I thought it was a Gmail or SPAM issue, but I just did a test on my AT&T paid account and the same issue so far...   

It's awfully hard to do development and testing if I have to wait a half-a-day to get these e-mails?!

Hi -- I'm receiving two emails with this code.. one from "webmaster" and another from "serveradmin."  What's odd is that the one from serveradmin contains the subject, but not the message.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it so I only receive one email?

thanks -- here's the code


$usercheck = $_SESSION['user_id'];
$check = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles WHERE art.id = '$_GET[id]' AND art.user_id = '$usercheck'")or die(mysql_error());
$check2 = mysql_num_rows($check);

$recep = "me@gmail.com";
$subject = "Email Subject Line";
$text = "$usercheck";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-to: me@gmail.com\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n";

if ($check2 != 1) {
include_once ("nav_my_account.inc");
mail("$recep","$subject","$text","$headers");
$content = "<p>You can only edit your own articles. <br><br>If you feel you're getting this message in error, it may be that your session has timed out and you need to log back in. </p>\n";

} else {

include_once ("nav_my_account.inc"); 
.....etc....

Hi! I have a question about Enthusuast 3. Is there any way to allow forms with duplicate emails? Right now the form gives an error when trying to sent it with an email that's already in the database. I want to change this so that multiple entried with the same email are allowed on the same table. Thank you.

Hey guys! Been a long time since I've posted here but I am back for help because I'm encountering a problem that's kind of baffling me.

I'm programming a web game, and one of the things that happens is that an email gets sent out when it's your turn in one of your games. This is working fine and all but I can not for the life of me figure out how to send email with html in it that is universally accepted. What I've been doing so far works for gmail, hotmail, etc. but for some reason breaks entirely when someone opens an email with a client like Thunderbird or Outlook.

Here's what I've been doing:

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Admin <admin@examplesite.com>' . "\r\n";
  
$mail_body = '<html><body>It is now your turn in the game. The game can be viewed <a href="examplesite.com">here</a>.</body></html>';

mail("user@examplesite.com",'New Turn',$mail_body,$headers);

Is there something I'm missing? I have literally no experience using Outlook or the like so I don't know if it's a problem with them or if I'm doing something wrong.
