PHP - Help With An Email Script

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:

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);

if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);

if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $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.

I've sent test to server and verified that email working. New with PHP so assuming my code is wrong. Attached Files  contact.html   22.48KB   0 downloads  contact_script.php   3.5KB   3 downloads

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);

Trying to use an include() in a script to send an email, not working out.  Basically I have a pretty drastic page I've formatted out and I want it to be shipped out in an email in that format.  I thought it would be simple to get an include in a php code to email but the email works..   and doesn't have anything in it. 

I've tried with and without quotes, any help appreciated.


Code: [Select]

<html>
<body>



<?
    //change this to your email.
    $to = "me@me.com";
    $from = "me@me.com";
    $subject = "stuff";
$message="<?php include("another.php"); ?>"
    $headers  = "From: $from\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";

    //options to send to cc+bcc
    //$headers .= "Cc: [email]maa@p-i-s.cXom[/email]";
    //$headers .= "Bcc: [email]email@maaking.cXom[/email]";
     
    // now lets send the email.
    mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    echo "Message has been sent....!";
?>


</html>
</body>

Hi Guys

I'm just looking for some advice to make sure i go in the right direction from the off!

Building a new system for a client. They'll receive contact information from a contact form on their website and the details of the contact form are logged in the admin area of the cms. The client wants to be able to respond to these contacts via email without logging into the system and then have the details of the reply logged in the admin area of the cms to know when something has been responded to.

So essentially i need some way of getting that email into the database. The only way i can see this happening is to setup a new mailbox, the client blind copies that mailbox address into all replies, a cron then runs a php script that picks up most recent emails via imap and then reads in the data - thereby registering the fact a response has happened (probably from the subject line reference) and it would then update the status of the contact. I am assuming this is theoretically possible as i've never done anything like that before.

So...

1) Is there a better way of doing this without having the client  login to the site to respond?
2) Does the proposal above sound reasonable?

Any advice would be much appreciated...

Drongo

Can someone show me a simple mail script that I can run in cli, I can enter a $to = email@email.com and then have it send to my email? just in cli.. Thanks

Guys Im having a strange issue with my code

I have a form to request a password to be sent to email incase forgotten

The script seems to run as it should as in taking the info then redirecting to the messages page for confirmation no problem
but its not sending the email

Ive checked and double checked, and even re written the code from scratch and nothing seems to be playing ball in sending the email

Can someone shed some none sleep deprived eyes over it and point out what will no doubt be an obvious error I just cant seem to see 

The Form:
Code: [Select]
<form name="sendpw" method="post" action="sendpw.php">
   <br>
 <table width="100%" border="0" class="tbl">
  <tr>
    <td width="198"><div align="right">Username:</div></td>
    <td width="418"><input name="name" type="text" class="input" size="30"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><div align="right">Email: </div>      </td>
    <td><input name="mail" type="text" class="input" size="30"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"> <div align="center">
      <input name="Submit" type="submit">     
    </div></td>
    </tr>
</table>

</form>

The Script:
Code: [Select]
<?
include ('config.php');

$name=$_POST['name'];
$em=$_POST['mail'];

$query="SELECT pw FROM user WHERE uname='$name' AND email='$em'" or die (mysql_error());

$result= mysql_query($query);

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

$pass=$row['pw'];
$to="$em";
$from="From: passwords@MBD.net";
$msg="Username: $name\r\n";
$msg .="Password: $pass\r\n";
$msg .="Please keep this password safe";
$subject="Your Login Password\r\n";

mail($to,$subject,$msg,$from);
header( "Location:messages.php?msg=2" );
exit();
?>
config.php is just my database connection info, which is working fine as it runs all all my pages that access the database.


Thanks

Tom

I am working on an email extractor script that will extract emails from a site.

I have a working script that will extract them from a single URL, but what I need it to do is to follow the links on the page.

Here is my email script:

<?php
$the_url = isset($_REQUEST['url']) ? htmlspecialchars($_REQUEST['url']) : '';
?>

<form method="post">
  Please enter full URL of the page to parse (including http://):<br />
  <input type="text" name="url" size="65" value="http://<?php echo str_replace('http://', '', $the_url);  ?>"/><br />
  or enter text directly into textarea below:<br />
  <textarea name="text" cols="50" rows="15"></textarea>
  <br />
  <input type="submit" value="Parse Emails" />
</form>

<?php
if (isset($_REQUEST['url']) && !empty($_REQUEST['url'])) {
  // fetch data from specified url
  $text = file_get_contents($_REQUEST['url']);
}
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['text']) && !empty($_REQUEST['text'])) {
  // get text from text area
  $text = $_REQUEST['text'];
}

// parse emails
if (!empty($text)) {
  $res = preg_match_all(
    "/[a-z0-9]+([_\\.-][a-z0-9]+)*@([a-z0-9]+([\.-][a-z0-9]+)*)+\\.[a-z]{2,}/i",
    $text,
    $matches
  );

  if ($res) {
    foreach(array_unique($matches[0]) as $email) {
      echo $email . "<br />";
    }
  }
  else {
    echo "No emails found.";
  }
}

?>

It's a bit rough and quirky, but it works for a single URL.
Here is the email extractor in action:
http://www.site-search.org/email-extractor.php
My ideal solution would be to combine this script with my URL extactor/link-extractor script:

Her e is the script in action:
http://www.site-search.org/url-extractor.php

Hello,

I am new to PHP and would like to know what I am doing incorrectly.  I have designed a login form which contains two variables: the username and the password.

So for the username:

<input type="hidden" name="email" id="email" value="example_username">

And for the password:

<input type="password" name="password" id="password" size="15">

I then created a php script which I want to pass the variables "email" and "password" to the e-mail address:
 
 
<?php



{

   $message = "$email";

   $message2 = "$password";

   mail ("email@myserver.com", "Hello", $message, $message2);



}

?>


This should happen through the command:

<action="http://www.myserver.com/myscript.php" method="post">

All I get is a blank email with the subject "Hello".  Why are the email and password variables not being passed to my email by the php script?

Thanks.

This is completely different code than my change password script thread.  This is not double posting.

Whenever I use this script to change my email, it just changes the email to nothing (blank).  What could be wrong with it?  Help is hugely appreciated.  I know you don't have to use your valuable time to help me.

<?php

// I removed the connect to db part

session_start();

$username = $_SESSION['username'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$newemail = $_POST['newemail'];
$confirmnewemail = $_POST['confirmnewemail'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM members WHERE username='$username'");
if($email!= mysql_result($result, 0))
{
echo "The email address you entered is incorrect.";
}
if($newemail==$confirmnewemail)
    $sql=mysql_query("UPDATE members SET email='$newemail' where username='$username'");
    if($sql)
    {
    echo "You have successfully changed your email address.";
    }
else
{
echo "The new email and confirm new email fields were different.";
}

Hi everybody,
I want to create a script which will send SMS on a number once new mail arrives in email account.
I have SMS API service from http://www.freesmsapi.com/
I am using cPanel, but how to do it ?
One idea is, new mails are stored in "new" folder and already read mails are stores in "cur".
So once, new email file will come in "new" folder PHP script will see that file and will send SMS, with text as
"Hi, {user}, you gotta mail from {sender}, subject is {sibject}"

That PHP file will be added to Cronjobs. But how to do it ?
I have been searching on this issue from many months, did google but no answer.

I need help

Hi,   I have a section of code that sends an order confirmation to me when a customer places an order with us.   This all works fine but recently, I have started to get duplicate confirmations coming from the same customers, one in particular, many times a day...   Is there anything obvious about this code that could be causing it?   Thanks,

I am using a simple email script called PHPmailer which works great but i would like to create a form so a user can input what the text for the email should be along with the subject from texts boxes, i also need the script to connect to a mysql database to get a list of email address to send to. Then once the user presses the send button the email is sent out to everyone in the database.
Can anyone help me?
<?php
include_once('class.phpmailer.php');

$mail             = new PHPMailer();
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->IsSendmail(); // telling the class to use SendMail transport

$mail->From       = "zac@zpwebsites.com";
$mail->FromName   = "First Last";

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$mail->AddAddress("zacthespack@gmail.com", "John Doe");

$mail->AddAttachment("uploads/AleMail.pdf");             // attachment

if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
}

?>

Ok, I submit the form, and when the next page displays, it says recieved with the persons name, but it wont post their email, and it wont ever send the message to the email address......... i've been playing with it all day long and just cannot figure it out, about to rip my hair out... any help would be appreciated.
