PHP - Problem With Sending Mail With Pear (mail/mime.php)

Hi

Sending mail problem, it going as plain text<?php

include("global.php");


$Form_ID = $_GET['Form_ID'];
$Page_ID = $_GET['Page_ID'];
$Menu_ID = $_GET['Menu_ID'];

Thanks

Here is the code I have so far:

<?php
include('database.inc.php'); // Our database connectivity file

?>
<?php

$reminder_date = 't1.reminder_date';
$email = 'lp_reminder_email';
$reminder_name = 't1.reminder_name';
$reminder_details = 't1.reminder_desc';


$result = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT t1.`reminder_id` , t1.`reminder_name` , t1.`reminder_desc` , t1.`reminder_date` , t1.`reminder_email` , lp4.`email` AS `lp_reminder_email` 
FROM `reminder_events` AS t1
LEFT OUTER JOIN `authorize` AS lp4 ON ( t1.`reminder_email` = lp4.`email` ) 
WHERE reminder_date <= NOW()
ORDER BY `reminder_date` ASC";
$result = 'mysql_num_rows';


while( $row = mysql_fetch_array( $result ) )

if( !empty( $nr ) )
?>
<?php
 $to = $row[$email];
 $from = $row[$email];
 $headers = $from;
 $subject = $row[$reminder_name];
 $body = $row[$reminder_details];


 {
 $send = @mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
 }

 ?>


The sql query when run through phpMyAdmin returns a result. When I open this in the browser, it says "Query is empty". Anyone want to help a newb out and show me what I'm doing wrong? I'd like for it to pull the data out of these fields and send it via e-mail. What would be even better is if I could get it to do this the day before the `reminder_date`. I can set it up so cron runs the script, I just need to get the script to work first.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi all,

Will reading on php.net about the famous mail() function somewhere in the notes, the author mentions to use Pear:: for sending larger amounts of email.

Since I have never done anything with pear, I was wondering if it weren't better to start out with Pear, since it's more a long term thinking solution or shoudl i first start  with mail().  I have read the Pear pagess, and all I saw were delayed mail sending and sending in larger quantities. If someone could maybe advise me on would could be a best practise i would love to hear

I am trying to send an email to my gmail account using Mail SMTP.

With the following code:
<?php
include 'incl/php/Mail.php';

$recipients = 'xxxxxxxx@gmail.com';

$headers['From']    = 'no-reply@newzstand.us';
$headers['To']      = $recipients;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message';
$headers['Date'] = date('r', time());
$headers['Message-Id'] = '<'.  microtime(true).'@newzstand.us>';

$body = 'Test message';

$domain = preg_replace("/.*@([^@]*)/", '\1', $recipients);
$mxrr = getmxrr($domain, $mxhosts);
$params['host'] = $mxhosts[0];
$params['localhost'] = 'mail.newzstand.us';
$params['username'] = 'no-reply';
$params['password'] = 'xxxxxxx';

// Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method
$mail_object =& Mail::factory('smtp', $params);

$send = $mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($send)){
echo $send->getMessage();
}else{
echo 'No error';
}
?>

I get the following message:
Failed to connect to alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com:25 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Connection refused (code: -1, response: )]

Why is Gmail refusing me?

I recently changed something in an old script of mine and it doesn't work properly anymore. I don't know what I did, and I don't have a backup, oops!

The code below is supposed to take inputs from a web form and turn them into an e-postcard, attaching and sending it as a jpeg on an email, ideally to be displayed inline.

$message = $_POST['text'];
$bcc  = $_POST['bcc'];
$finalimage = $_POST['finalimage'];

//create a boundary string. It must be unique
//so we use the MD5 algorithm to generate a random hash
$random_hash = md5(date('r', time()));
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with rn
$headers = "From: ".$name." <".$from.">\r\nReply-To: ".$name." <".$from.">\r\nBcc: ".$bcc."\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();"";

//read the attachment file contents into a string,
//encode it with MIME base64,
//and split it into smaller chunks
$attachment = chunk_split(base64_encode(file_get_contents($finalimage)));
//define the body of the message.
ob_start(); //Turn on output buffering
?>

The email gets sent, and the source of the email looks identical to that of previous correctly displayed versions, but for some reason the email reader no longer renders the html, instead it just shows plain text, so it looks like the source just without headers - e.g.:

Quote

So everything is being sent, it's just an issue of getting it read correctly by the email program (worked before in gmail and hotmail). So I think it's an issue with the headers or boundary string I'm using, but they look alright to me, I just can't see what I've done wrong. 

Any ideas?

Hello, i need to send emails to users according to the category they have selected everything works fine except for the mail function which tells me that i cannot parse an array variable. the error code is:
Warning: mail() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in C:\wamp\www\newsletter.php on line 25

can any1 tell me how i can send the mail so that it accepts that variable?
my code is:

Code: [Select]
<?php
$db_hostname="localhost";
$db_username="root";
$db_password="";
$db = mysql_connect($db_hostname,$db_username,$db_password);
if (!$db)
{
die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("newsletter", $db);


if (isset($_POST['categories'])) 
{ //make the checkmarks with name categories[]
foreach ($_POST['categories'] as $cat) 
{
$email_query = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE `category` = '" . $cat . "'");

if (mysql_num_rows($email_query)) 
{
while ($email = mysql_fetch_array($email_query)) 
{
  
ini_set('SMTP','smtp.gmail.com');
if (mail($email, 'Subject','Message Goes Here', "From: <noreply@domain.com>"))

How do i stop it from going to the junk folder.

From our website we are connecting to GMAIL to send our emails through SMTP. For some reason it is not sending the emails to the CC or BCC email address event though GMAIL shows it was included in the email. Am I missing something in the below code?

Code: [Select]
$currentTime = time();

$emailTo = "redbrad0@domain.com";
$emailCC = "brad@domain.com";
$emailBCC = "events@domain.com";
$emailSubject = "TEST Email at (" . $currentTime . ")";
$emailBody = "This is the body of the email";

$headers = array();
if (!empty($emailTo))
$headers['TO'] = $emailTo;
if (!empty($emailCC))
$headers['CC'] = $emailCC;
if (!empty($emailBCC))
$headers['BCC'] = $emailBCC;
if (!empty($emailSubject))
$headers['Subject'] = $emailSubject;
$headers['From'] = "events@domain.com";

$mime = new Mail_mime("\n");
$mime->setTXTBody($emailBody);
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);

$mail = Mail::factory('smtp',
   array ('host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
     'auth' => true,
     'port' => 465,
     'username' => 'events@domain.com',

Hello Everyone

I have written a simple mail function to be emailed to a certain person on submission.  On submission they would also like to have attachments sent to them.

I got the email being sent but I can;t get the attachments to work. I have read several different examples and tutorials and none of them work.

This is my code so far without any code for file attachment
