PHP - Auto Send Email Reminder

The code below currently sends a separate Email with data from each row of a table when a Save All button is pressed. So, if I have 4 rows of data, 4 Email will be sent.

I would prefer to receive one Email with 4 sections of data. Any help greatly appreciated.

$email="to@email.com";
$from="from@email.com";
$msg="";
$subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."";
 
$msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Absent or Present: ".$values["attendance_status"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class: ".$values["classname"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class Date: ".$values["attendance_date"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Amount Received: ".$values["cash_received"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Paid For: ".$values["cash_whatfor"]."\r\n";
 
$ret=runner_mail(array('to' => $email, 'subject' => $subject, 'body' => $msg, 'from'=>$from));
if(!$ret["Sent"])
echo $ret["message"];

Hello, i have been looking for and answer on the internet but i couldn't find it! I'm new on PHP based on and example i wrote something like this for my website:

//basic variables
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom']));
$EmailTo = "example@mysite.org";
$Subject = "Registration u10";
$teamname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['teamname']));
$affiliation = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['affiliation']));
$premier = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['premier']));
$challenge = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['challenge']));
$girls = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['girls']));
$boys = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['boys']));

//about 15 more variables go in here but i don't want to put them to save some space

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (Trim($EmailFrom)=="") $validationOK=false;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// email body text
//this includes the info of all the variables at the top even the ones I didn't write in here (but you get the point  )

$Body = "";
$Body .= "Team Name: ";
$Body .= $teamname;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";


$Body .= "AYSleague: ";
$Body .= $aysleague;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Flash Tournament: ";
$Body .= $flashtournament;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Spring 2011: ";
$Body .= $spring2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Summer 2011: ";
$Body .= $summer2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "fall 2011: ";
$Body .= $fall2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

// send email to my inbox with the information above

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// if everything goes OK it will redirect them to another page

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanksu12.html\">";
}

else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
}
?>

the problem that i have is:
(i divided it in 2 sections)
1- i need to sent a second email to the coach
2- that email only needs to have the information of 6 variables not the whole thing

I don't know how to do it, if someone knows how to do it, i will appreciate some help!!

thanks!

Hello,
I have a registration page and when a user registers I want to send their email an activation code.
To test I have the following code.

<?php
//Send activation Email

$to = $Email_address;

$subject = "www.WEBSITE.com/";

$message = "Welcome to my website!\r\rYou, or someone using your email address, 
has completed registration at WEBSITE. You can complete registration by clicking the 
following link:\rhttp://www.WEBSITE.com/register.php?action=verify&amp;$activationKey\r\r
If this is an error, ignore this email and you will be removed from our mailing list.\r\rRegards,\ ";

$headers = 'From: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'Reply-To: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo 'Success';
}
else
{
    echo 'Error';
}
?>

I have the last if else to see if it is sent to not. I do get a Success message, but I don't get an email at the address (I have checked the spam folder). I have checked the email address and it is correct. I have even waited a few hours and nothing.
Why is the email not getting to my account?

i wrote this code

<?php
$mail_to='XXX@gmail.com';
   $subject_mail='UYYYY';
   $message='XXXXX';



$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0 \r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 \r\n";
$headers .= "From: XXX@gmail.com \r\n";

mail($mail_to, $subject_mail, $message, $headers );
?>


but the email will not send
why please?

Hi I have a form that I want people to fill out and then click the button and it sends me an email. My problem is that it doesn't send me any emails, I have looked around and I don't seem to find any thing.

This is my form in application_form.php

Code: [Select]
<form action="application_form" method="POST">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Full name</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="name" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Email address</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="email" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Message</td>
    <td><textarea name="message" cols="29" rows="5"></textarea></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Message" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

and this is the php on the same application_form.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  // Collect variables
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  // Send email
  $body = "The following feedback has been submitted:\n\n";
  $body .= "Name: $name\n";
  $body .= "Email: $email\n";
  $body .= "Message: $message";
  mail ("cerberus478@gmail.com","Feedback Received",$body,"From: cerberus478@gmail.com");

  // Output confirmation
  echo "<p>Your message has been received.</p>";
}
?>

It's not whole script though.

Okay, I got the other parts of this script to input the form information into my database, but this part of the code is not sending the user the activation email. Please Help!?

I've attached the complete script for an extra pair of eyes. Thanks

I am creating a Registration form and want to have a command button in the middle of the form that, when clicked, will send the user an email with an activation code.

How can I do that?

When the user clicks the button, I would like it to fire off an email, however I do not want the user to be taken off of the form or to lose anything the entered.

I suppose you would normally do this with JavaScript, but since I don't know that, I am looking for a PHP solution for now.

Thanks.

Im still trying to work this one out but what i would like to do is send an email if an alert is present. but not resend the email on every page refresh where the alert is still present.

so i was thinking of using something like $_SESSION['sent_time'] to record when the last email was sent and only send another email if the current time is greater than 10 mins from the $_SESSION['sent_time'].

How can i record the time into the session variable in a format which i can use to compare with the current time?
and how will i compare?

cheers for any suggestions

Hi, Im getting better at this php lark!
ok so now I have a signup website page, all details get added to the database including an email address, all works fine.

now I would like a page, with a simple text box, that when you hit submit, it send the contents of the text box to all email address` in the members table, a really really simple newsletter so to speak. Its purely for my learning curve and Ill set up recapacha on it anyway.

but Im getting a bit lost in the code, could someone guide me please? I can grab the contents of the text box like this:

$letter     = $_POST['letter];

but how do I send to all recipients?
$recipient = ("SELECT email FROM members");

thanks

Iwant to make a contact us script and here is done so far. I am almost sure its about preg match filters but cant find a solution why it doesnt work. Appreciate any help. Here is my code:

               $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email_from = $_POST['email'];
   $comments = $_POST['comments'];
   $emailtrue = '/^([A-Za-z0-9-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})$/';
   $nametrue = "/^[A-Za-z]+$/D";
    if(!preg_match($nametrue,$first_name)) {
                    echo "The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
        die (); }
               if(!preg_match($nametrue,$last_name))  {
                    echo "The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
                    die (); }
    if(!preg_match($emailtrue,$email_from)) {
        echo "The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.";       
                    die (); }
    if(strlen($comments) < 4)  {         
       echo "The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid. Min. 4 letters." ;
       die (); }
        $to      = xxxxxxxxxx.com';
                $subject = 'User Email';
       $headers = 'From: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
               'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
               mail($to, $subject, $comments, $headers);
