PHP - Moved: Why Does Not It Send Mail?

Hello,

I have been using the mail() command for a while now, but for some reason It has just stopped functioning all together.  I have added an OR DIE rule to the end of it and had no response.  To all intents and purposes that mail is being sent - there are no errors whatsoever - just the mail is not getting delivered.  I cannot think of anything I've done or changed that would stop it from being delivered, I haven't even been near the function that does it in a while.  Here is the code:

Code: [Select]

function sendMail($to,$ref) {
        $subject = 'Booking Confirmation';
$file = "receipts/$ref.htm";
$fh=fopen($file, "r");
$message = fread($fh, filesize($file));
fclose($fh);
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Company <noreply@company.co.uk>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

I have taken out the public names involved, but otherwise thats the code.  It has worked absolutely fine in the past, and even If I strip out all of the filehandling part of it, and just use a simple $from - $to - $message, it still seems not actually send the mail.  It wouldnt be so bad If I at least had an error to go on, but I dont I am just simply not getting the mail.

Please help!

I'm trying to send email with php for the first time. Trying to make it so that after a user registers he/she receives an email after submitting. I'm trying to send it from 1 comp with an email of goldie@telkomsa.net to another with an email of jgoldie@telkomsa.net (I just really want to test if it's sending email another before I get technical with the email)

Should this code work, here is part of my code with the email section in it:
Code: [Select]
<?php
// query
$sql = "INSERT INTO student (sno, sname, init, fname,
title, msname, dob, sex, lang, idno,
telh, telw, cel, fax, email, address, 
contact_flag
)



VALUES  ('', '$sname', '$init', '$fname', 
'$title', '$msname', '$dob', '$sex','$lang',
'$idno', '$telh', '$telw', '$$cell', '$fax',
'$email', '$address', '$contact')";




 mysql_query($sql) or die('Error:' . mysql_error());
  
 $sno_id = mysql_insert_id();
  


// get the cid
$cname = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['cname']); 
$getCID = "SELECT cid FROM course WHERE cname='$cname'";
$result = mysql_query($getCID);

if($result)
{
    $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
    $course_id = $row['cid'];

     // add the student to the course_student table
     $addCID = 'INSERT INTO course_student (cid, sno) VALUES(' . $row['cid'] . ', ' . $sno_id . ')';
     mysql_query($addCID) or die('Error:' . mysql_error());

// send email
$Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name
$email = "goldie@telkomsa.net"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "jgoldie@telkomsa.net"; //recipient
$mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "Subject for reviever"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields

ini_set('sendmail_from', 'goldie@telkomsa.net'); //Suggested by "Some Guy"

if (mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header)){ 
echo "mail has been sent"; //mail command 
}



}



  
 header( "refresh:5;student_man.php" );
echo 'Registration <b> successful </b> You\'ll be redirected in about 5 secs. If not, click <a href="student_man.php">here</a>.';


}
}

Email is under the "email section" comment based of what I found on google. I'm not getting any errors so I want to know if the email isn't going through because of my code or my smtp setting etc.

I understand you need to use the mail() command but this just wont work for me, my webserver is with godaddy, and they sent me an email saying that i need to use a relay server to send my mail, how do i set this up or anything?

Can somebody tell me how to make this exact code send mail? I tested it on my website and it doesn't send any emails. The first code is the file contact_config.php

<?php
$mailto = "youremail@email.com";
$charset = "windows-1251";

."<br>E-mail: ".$_POST['posEmail']
."<br>Country: ".$_POST['posCountry']
."<br>Phone: ".$_POST['posRegard']
."<br>Comments: ".$_POST['posText'];
 
$statusError = "";
$statusSuccess = "";

$errors_name = 'Please enter the Name';
$errors_mailfrom = 'Please enter the Email';
$errors_incorrect = 'The e-mail address you entered does not eppear to be valid. <br>Your e-mail address should look like yourname@domain.com';
$errors_message = 'Please enter the Message';
$errors_subject = 'Please enter the Phone';
$captcha_error = 'Wrong security code!';
$send = 'Thank you for your message';
?>
<?php
$mailto = "youremail@email.com";

."<br>want us to e-mail you the free Homeowners Guide To Remodeling: ".$_POST['posBox'];
 
$statusError = "";
$statusSuccess = "";

The second code is contacts.php

Now for some reason the two of these files are supposed to send me emails when customers click the submit email button on my form but, I don't get any emails. I tested it myself and no emails. Help please!

Hi People,   I'm using a php to send an mail using a server via ssl. My program:   <?php

this worked and stopped, no error no idea why
is this a conflict?
Code: [Select]
echo("<meta http-equiv = refresh content=0;url=".$url_success.">");
     mail($to_supplier, $subject_supplier, $message_supplier, $headers_supplier);
 $ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);

I am trying to send the data entered in to the form to myself and to the user.

At the moment I am getting the data sent to myself but cant find the way to send it to the user.

I am using this code below

<?php

mail("webmaster@edgwaretown.co.uk", $subject, $message, $from);

?>

How can I get the user to get the data by email as well?

Thanks
Gary

Hallo guys!!

I have this script

Code: [Select]
<?php
$name = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['name']);
$link = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['link']); 
$filename = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['filename']);
if(empty($name) || empty($link) || empty($filename))exit; 

mysql_connect('localhost','root','');
@mysql_select_db('1') or die( "Unable to select database");

if (!mysql_query("INSERT INTO `1`.`files` (`name`,`link`,`filename`) VALUES ('$name','$link','$filename');"))
  {
  echo 'Fail!';
  exit;
  }
  else
  {
  echo "Succesfuly added!";  
  }
mysql_close();

?>
works fine when they send me link to

mydomain.com/script.php?name=1&link=2&filename=3

and database updates fine , but the idea is

That each name  is owned by a group and every group has a different email adresse , how can automatically
send email  at the time someone send a link to my adress  (mydomain.com/script.php?name=1&link=2&filename=3)

with few words i want to notify the owner of the group (name) for the  link and filename values


Thats the story
Thanks!!!

Hi guys please i need your help . i created a HTML/PHP form . The PHP form handles posting to my mail while the HTML is the front face / webpage . Anyway i created a form that has fields such as name (textbox), email(textbox) , inquiry(textarea) , state (textbox) country (dropdown list ) , how did you find us (dropdown list). However whenever i test the form all it posts to my mailbox is name , email , inquiry .  Please how do i make the other fields get recognized / how do i get the details in the other fields to be posted to my mailbox.

I need this form to be sent to a mail after you press the button and to see the content that is sent , what is the easiest way to do this?

Hello friends.
First of all note that i'm just an amateur php programmer, so please if what i ask is very dam don't shoot me...
I already search the form and found some solutions to send  UTF-8 e-mail message using PHP, but for some reason i have to use the above code.
The problem is that this code doesn't send  UTF-8 e-mail messages.
If you can help me please do it.
Thank you

Code: [Select]
<? php
$subject = "my subject in UTF-8";
$emailadd = 'mail@mail.com';
$url = "http://www.mySite.com/";
$req = '0'; // Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.


$text = "Results from form:\n\n";       
$space = '  ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 40)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 40 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = '  ';
}

mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');

Can some tell me why?

Hey guys,

I always get a "1" return form php mail, but with the large number of users, 10% aren't getting the email, so they are all constantly emailing me asking me help with their contact info.

The email address that im sending from is noreply@mydomain.com its the actual domain of the site. I'm using swfit mailer, but i've done this with just normal mail.

When asked about spam, some customers said it went there, but most didn't, they just never got it.

How can i reliably send email to my customers?

Thanks!

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the $header variable. I am trying to extract the value from the $name method and included with the $email method.

}
?>



Something got to do with this line:

$header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";

My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address.


Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with?

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark
