PHP - Paypal Instant Email Send Not Working.

Hello all,
 I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or  spam.
 Can anyone tell me why is this so?

 Her is the code:

$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";


$to  = " xx@gmail.com"; // note the comma



$subject = " $_POST[company_website] ";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: About Wholesale Account' . "<$_POST[email]>\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: mail@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: cc@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hello Guys,

 

I need your help as many PHPers here is more experienced in PHP coding than me.

I have specific project I am working on and need a piece of code that can send an email from HTML form using PHP to the email address that is entered manually on the form, instead of standard sent to PHP code that is fixed within PHP script and executed during submission.

I want sth that can grab manually enetered recipient's e-mail address, paste it to the PHP code and then use it to send the email to the recipient, instead of fixed sent to code.  Something would say dynamically changed during the entry that can inject into PHP code the new address email entered on the form and then submit to it.

Any ideas will be great.

 

Thanks.

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"];

For some reason I can't get this script working for my IPN.  Please help.


<?php

include("init.inc.php");

$head  = 'POST /cgi-bin/webscr HTTP/1.0' . "\r\n";

$head .= 'Content-Length: ' . strlen($send) . "\r\n\r\n";

$fp = fsockopen('sandbox.paypal.com', 80);

if ($fp !== false){
fwrite($fp, $head . $send);
$response = stream_get_contents($fp);
$response = trim(end(explode("\n", $response)));

if ($response === 'VERIFIED' && $_POST['payment_status'] === "Completed" && $_POST['mc_gross'] === "10.00" && $_POST['mc_currency'] === "USD")

hey gang:

i have a number of variables stored in the $_SESSION array and wanted to know how i can keep them handy for use AFTER PayPal has done it's thing.  to help clarify, the desired process here is client fills out form. clicks PayPal button. form data is then used to create some documents which are then sent to client.  i have the flow working but without the PayPal part because i'm not sure how to preserve the form data while PayPal does it's thing so i can use it when PayPal is done.  am i making sense?  i'd like to steer away from client-side cookies because of security issues and our paranoid client insists on it...

bah.  first the JSON shuffle from JavaScript to PHP and now this PayPal mess. 

any help is MOST welcome.  TIA!

WR!

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?

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?

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!

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>";
}

Hi, would like to know if there is any way to send email using localhost? is it possible and how can i do it?

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.

Hi guys,

I am writing the php script to send the email. I have noticed when I picked up on my email, I can see that it have been covered with mailed-by: myservername.com. I want to hide it, but I can't find a way to get it resolve.


Here's the code:

   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments & $rate";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header, $add);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



I guess that something got to do with this:

if(isset($email)){
   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
  }


I have disabled the safe-mode, so do you know how I can hide the mailed-by header using with the code on above??

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks in advance.

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
