PHP - Php Mail() Returns False !?

I tried parsing through first

https://www.jadaliyya.com/Details/28167/The-Empire-of-Sexuality-An-Interview-with-Joseph-Massad

then even tried

www.google.com

and on both I get the following returned

 

post_url equals:
www.google.compost_title equals:
testpost_Threadybody equals:
Enter your posts...

URL equals: www.google.com

www.google.com is not a valid URL

Web page redirects after 2 seconds.

And here is the if statement that handles my filter for URLs

if(isset($_POST["submit"]) && !empty($_POST["url"]) && !empty($_POST["Title"])){
$URL = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST["url"]) ;
$BodyText = $conn -> real_escape_string(nl2br($_POST["ThreadBody"])) ;
echo "<P>URL equals: " ; 
echo $URL ; 
echo "<P>" ; 
//Change to embed for youtube.


if (filter_var($URL, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
    echo("$URL is a valid URL");
	//Check if url is a youtube url 
	if (strpos($URL,'youtube') !== false) {
	    echo 'Youtube exists.';
	  $URL = preg_replace("/\s*[a-zA-Z\/\/:\.]*youtube.com\/watch\?v=([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]+)([a-zA-Z0-9\/\*\-\_\?\&\;\%\=\.]*)/i","<iframe width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/$1\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>",$URL);

	} else {
	    echo 'Youtube is not included .';
	   $URL = "<ahref ='" . $URL . "</a>" ;  
	}


	$Title = $conn -> real_escape_string($_POST["Title"]) ;
	$User = $_SESSION['username'];
	 
	 
	 $sql = "INSERT INTO Threads (Title, Users, ThreadBody, url)
     VALUES ('$Title', '$User','$BodyText','$URL')";
     if (mysqli_query($conn, $sql)) {
        echo "New record has been added successfully !";
     } else {
        echo "Error: " . $sql . ":-" . mysqli_error($conn);
     }

		} 
else {
    echo("$URL is not a valid URL");
		}

 

 

I'm working on a WordPress theme and I'm trying to build in a simple if statement which will check if the user has add his own logo into the images folder if he doesn't then the name of the blog will appear as normal text in place of the graphic logo.

This is how it looks like:


<?php

$logo_dir = get_template_directory_uri() . "/images/logo.png";

if (file_exists($logo_dir)) { ?>

<li><img src="<?php bloginfo ('template_directory'); ?>/images/logo.png" alt="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" /></li>

<?php } else { ?>

<li id='blog_name'><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><font>*</font></a></li>

<?php } ?>




I've echo'd out $logo_dir, the URL is correct, but still for some reason it's seeing it as if there would no file exist. If I turn it around into !file_exists then the graphic logo WILL show up. So it's always seeing it as non-existent.

Any ideas why this could be or am I using this function in a wrong fashion? As far as I've understood the PHP manual, this is the correct way of using it.

Code: [Select]
<?php
# This script does get included into the document create_new_tag_from.php




    if(isset($_POST['tag_name_submit'])){
    $tag_name_submit = $_POST['tag_name_submit'];
    }
    
    if(!empty($_POST['tag_name'])){
    $tag_name = strip_tags($_POST['tag_name']);
    }
    
    if(!empty($_POST['tag_description'])){
    $tag_description = strip_tags($_POST['tag_description']);
    }


if(isset($tag_name_submit)){

    
    
    # The Validation of User Entered Data
    # Do validate for solely alphabetic characters with ctype_alpha

    # ctype_alpha($tag_name) &&

              ( select 
               max(convert( (substring(tag_id, 2)) , unsigned integer))+1
               from tags), char(10) );

                set @newid = if(length(@newid) = 1, concat('0', @newid), @newid);
                set @newid = concat('c', @newid);

                INSERT INTO tags (tag_id, tag_name, tag_description, added_by_user_id,
                                creation_date, last_edited)
                VALUES (@newid, '%s', '%s', 7, now(), '0')",
            
                mysqli_real_escape_string($db_connect, $tag_name),
                mysqli_real_escape_string($db_connect, $tag_description)
            
            
            );
    
    $sql_query_run = mysqli_multi_query($db_connect, $sql_query);
   
    # Print Test to See If It Works
    echo "works_ ";

        } else { # End of the Validation
            echo "The entered data must be in alphabetic characters.";
        }
    
}



?>


Here is the form:

Code: [Select]
<?php
include_once('../../header.php');
include_once('../../model/contribution/create_new_tag_script.php');
?>

<form action="" method="post">
    <input type="text" name="tag_name" value="" />
    <textarea maxlength="60" type="text"  name="tag_description" value=""></textarea>
    <input type="submit" name="tag_name_submit" value="Submit the New Tag" />
</form>


<?php
include_once('../../footer.php');
?>
By the script as given above the conditional check will skip to the error message.

Though I have to say that ctype_alpha does return TRUE when I do try it with "tag_name" which is entered data from the input field, while the other is from the textarea.

I simply cannot see the reason for the returned FALSE.

How can I check if a function has returned false.. I know theirs the following way:

if (!checkdate($month, $day, $year)) {
//the function has returned false
}

But is their another way (beside using the ! operator) perhaps === FALSE (not sure if that'd work so asking)?

Hello , this is my first post in this forum , i would like to see the following code and tell me your opinion , not about the security issues not about how good or bad it is. Its just a simple demonstration in order to show you the problem.

<?php

include('config/functions.php');

$mysqli = connectionToDb();

$mysqli->autocommit(FALSE);

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('stelios','stelios2')");
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();

$stmt = $mysqli->prepare("INSERT INTO users (first_name,last_name) VALUES ('stelios3','stelios4')");
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->close();

var_dump($mysqli->commit());

$mysqli->close();

This is the code and the var_dump($mysqli->commit()); line prints false ! BUT , the inserts are in the database. If i comment out the commit line , then nothing is in the database.    Can you advise ? Thanks !

in my code below the **data is extracted correctly for the first foreach but doesn't return anything for 2nd foreach though selected one present inside the 2nd foreach** i still get the error Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() for line `foreach ($authorlist as $post)`... however the 2nd foreach returns data correctly as soon as i remove the first foreach loop. 

I have a notification system that notifies users of new comments, inside the email I have images, some of the logo, some of different people, everything shows up fine on my computer (yahoo email), however in the iPhones email application no images show up, there are just the blue squares with the question marks in them. I'm not sure what I'm missing.

hi there,

is there a difference between if($var == false) and if(false == $var)

thankyou!

$to=sammieave@ave.com,samuel@ave.com;
$subject  = "New Event Logged";
$message  = "Test";
$headers = "From: Samuel<sammieave@ave.com>;\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html";
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am having the above code but unfortunately the error I am getting is:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable or not local in C:\xampp\htdocs\CRM\support\mailer.php on line 139

I'm setting up a newsletter thing for my website.

I have a newsletter table in MySQL:
Quote

+----------------+------+--------+
| email          | mens | womens |
+----------------+------+--------+
| test2@test.com |    1 |      1 |
| test1@test.com |    1 |      0 |
+----------------+------+--------+


I am using a HTML form and this PHP code I learn't from the manual, which sends out e-mail's.
PHP:
if ($_POST['newsletter'] == 'Mens') {
   $to = '';
   $subject = $_POST['subject'];
   $body = $_POST['body'];
   $header = 'From: Me Someone <me@someone.com>';
   mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
}

What I want to do with the above code is send out an e-mail to all the e-mails in my MySQL database that are tagged '1' under mens.

How would I go about doing this? I'm guessing I will have to use a MySQL query in the $to = ''; that goes something like this:
$to = '$query (select from `newsletters` where `email` = 1');
?

Hello to all out there!
this is my first post,so my question may sound a bit simple. :]
I am studying PHP and MySQL and I tried to make a mailing form based on a mysql database.

My problem occured when I tried to use the PEAR mail object.

Here is my code:

// THE INCLUDED FILES
require_once ("attach_file.php"   );
require_once ("Mail.php"        );
require_once ("Mail\mime.php"   );

//THE VARIABLES TAKEN FROM THE HTML FORM OR JUST CREATED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE EMAIL
$my_email      = "something@gmail.com";
$email_subject = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_subject']),$server_connect );
$email_body    = mysql_real_escape_string(trim( $_POST['email_body']   ),$server_connect );


$attached_file = $destination ;     // the $destination variable comes from the copy() function in attach_file.php
$username      = "the_username@gmail.com";
$password      = "the_password";
$host          = "smtp.gmail.com";

$attach        = new Mail_mime();
$attach -> addAttachment($attached_file);
$email_body    = $attach->get();

$extraheaders = array('from'=>$my_email,'to'=>$email_etaireias,'subject'=>$email_subject,'Bcc'=>$email_etaireias);
$headers       = $attach -> $headers($extraheaders);   // HERE GIVES ME AN ERROR!!! -->Fatal error: Method name must be a string

$smtp_info     = array('host'=>$host,'auth'=>TRUE,'username'=>$username,'password'=>$password);
$smtp          = Mail::factory('smtp',$smtp_info);


//loop through every single line of the database until there are no more lines with data
//and store each line in 3 different variables that i can use
while ( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{ $onoma_etaireias = $row['onoma_etaireias'];
  $email_etaireias = $row['email_etaireias'];
  $website_etaireias = $row['website_etaireias'];   }

//construct the mail function .  The @ is supressing the errors created .remove it and they will be shown.
$mail = @$smtp->send($email_etaireias,$headers,$email_body);



As i searched here and there for a solution, i found that it has something to do with the way the mail-mime object creates the body of the email . I also tried to find a solution from the PEAR documentation.
do i create the headers someway wrong?????

I am using magento for sending mail with condition,

My code:

<?php
class Gta_MerchantNotification_Model_Observer {
    public function merchantremainder($Observer) {
       $order = $Observer->getEvent()->getOrder();
       $order_details = $order->getAllVisibleItems();

       $itemData = array();
       foreach ($order_details as $list) {
          $incrementid = $order->getIncrementId();
          $sku = $list->getsku();
          $name = $list->getName();
          $price = $list->getPrice();
          $Qty = $list->getQtyOrdered();
          $extra = $order->getIncrementId();
          $message = 

          "
          <tr>
          <!-- <td>$incrementid</td> -->
          <td>$sku</td>
          <td>$name</td>
          <td>$price</td>
          <td>$Qty</td>
          </tr>";

          $itemData[$list->getId()] = $message;

      }
  
      $finalMessage =  "
      <p>Order Id : $incrementid</p>
      <table border='1'>

      <tr>
      <!-- <th>Id</th> -->
      <th>Sku</th>
      <th>Product name</th>
      <th>Price</th>
      <th>Qty Ordered</th>
      </tr>";
      if (!empty($itemData)) {
          foreach ($itemData as $data) {
             $finalMessage .= $data;
         }

         $finalMessage .= "</table>";
         $this->sendMail($finalMessage);
     }

 }

 public function sendMail($message) {
   $body ="$message";
   $emailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email');
   $emailTemplate->setFromName('abc');
   $emailTemplate->setBody($body);
   $emailTemplate->setSubject("Custom Email from observer");
   $emailTemplate->setType('html');
   $emailTemplate->setToEmail('abc@gmail.com');
   $emailTemplate->send();

}
}

?>

 

Output :

 

If order placed mail send to abc@gmail.com.
How to set email sender based on SKU $sku from order.

I want :

1) If SKU starts with 2, email should go to the mail id abc@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

2) If SKU starts with 3, email should go to the mail id xyz@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

3) If SKU starts with 4, email should go to the mail id qwe@gmail.com,
screenshot :

 

FYI - If an order contains 10 items email should go separately based on SKU. But an order id the same must include all the emails.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello there,

I've come across a issue with using PHP's mail function due to the fact I've tried a assortment of different headers yet Hotmail continues to place my sent emails in the junk folder.

Here is my method of emailing my clients:


function Email($AccountID, $Subject, $Message)
{
if($this->IsValidAccount($AccountID))
{
$Account = $this->AccountKeys($AccountID);

$headers .= 'To: '.$Account['account_client'].' <'.$Account['account_email'].'>' . "\r\n";

$headers .= "From: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Reply-To: X-Host <no-reply@X-Host.co.uk>\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Return-Path: no-reply@X-Host.co.uk\r\n"; 
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
$headers .= "Organization: X-Host\r\n";
echo $Account['account_email']. $Subject. $Message;

return mail($Account['account_email'], $Subject, $Message, $headers);
}
else return InvalidAccount;
}


So could anybody help me out please and tell me what headers I should be using.

Hi all,

I'm coding an automated mailer for a dentist office. They set appointment dates through a web interface, and then this appointment is mailed to the customer via PHP's mail() function.

However, some users are not receving the mail. They claim that it is not even in the junk mail folder. Is it because I'm setting or not setting certain properties in the header? Should I be setting something else?

Here is my code
Code: [Select]
ini_set("SMTP", "mail.isp-provider.net");
$headers = 'From: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: Schedule Manager <schedule@address.com>' . "\r\n" .
'Bcc: internal@address.com' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($customerAddress, $subject, $body, $headers);
Note that customerAddress, subject, and body are all just regular normal strings.

As I said, it works for most customers, but some customers do not receive the emails.
