PHP - Php Bounce Mail Handler

I'd like to detect emails that hard bounce after i send out my newsletter, and then delete them from the table that stores them in my database.

Any ideas? Thank you.

$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

Hi Y'all

I have a contact form page with a contact-handler.php for emailing the details to my email address.

I have the site uploaded on the net for the php and submission of the message fields to work and it seems to submit the message fine (simple contact form... name, email and message) but i never receive the email of the users message??

I have searched this forum before i posted this and there was one message on this topic however i could not make sense of the reply.. guy typs lke this lnguage wit misn words? madness. Anyways i know a guy mentioned gmail and yahoo might be backlist but surely not for days? the email is not in my spam folder either..

<?php 
$errors = '';
$myemail = 'croz27@gmail.com';
if(empty($_POST['name'])  || 
   empty($_POST['email']) || 
   empty($_POST['message']))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: all fields are required";
}

$name = $_POST['name']; 
$email_address = $_POST['email']; 
$message = $_POST['message']; 

if (!eregi(
"^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[a-z0-9-]+(\.[a-z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-z]{2,3})$", 
$email_address))
{
    $errors .= "\n Error: Invalid email address";
}

if( empty($errors))
{
$to = $myemail;

} 
?>





Thanks for any input.

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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');
?

I have a click handler that is causing some problem. I am using hammer.js for a slider.    This is the link http://ingrub.com/iphone/   When you hit the last slide the text of next changes to let's grub, but the problem is that if you swipe back to an earlier screen and you try to go next it automatically goes to the link instead of going to the next slide these are some of the functions that i am using 

this.showPane = function(index, animate) {
            // between the bounds
            index = Math.max(0, Math.min(index, pane_count-1));
            current_pane = index;

            var offset = -((100/pane_count)*current_pane);
            setContainerOffset(offset, animate);
            
            

            if(current_pane == 2){
                $(".next2").text("Let's Grub");
                $(".navigation2").addClass('linkMe');

                
            } else {
                $(".next2").text("Next");
                $(".navigation2").removeClass('linkMe');
            }

    
        };

$( ".next2" ).click(function() {
        carousel.next();

       $('.linkMe').click(function() {
            window.location = "discover.html";
        });
       return false;
    });

I am not sure what to do to fix this bug. 

Hi guys, first time on forum, and in desperate need of help.  I asked my co workers and they don't have a single clue into what is going wrong.

I built a PHP image handler to secure images down to the user too see.  When I integrate this into the ajax however, the images only load on the page after all the ajax requests finish.  In this case there are 4 ajax requests.  I have attached screenshots of the problem before all the ajax requests finish and after.

NOTE: This works fine with images that are not being generated PHP.

At first I thought it might be a header problem with the image handler but I cant seem to find any people who have seen this problem.  Here is the code.

class SecureImage {
        public $user_img_dir;
        public $db_img_dir;
        public $temp_img_dir;
        public $main_img_dir;

        function __construct(){
                global $SESSION;

                //set the class vars
                $this->temp_img_dir = BASE_PATH.'webdocs/images/_temp/';
                $this->main_img_dir = '/var/images/';

                //now check to see if there is a directory for this file

                //build the directory for the image
                $user_id = $SESSION->getUserid();
                $db_name = $GLOBALS['Config']->db['db_name'];

                $user_img_dir = "{$this->main_img_dir}{$db_name}/{$user_id}/";
                $db_img_dir = $this->main_img_dir.$db_name."/";

                //set the class vars
                $this->user_img_dir = $user_img_dir;
                $this->db_img_dir = $db_img_dir;

                //now check to see if the directory is there
                if(!is_dir($user_img_dir)){
                        //check to see if the db_name is a dir
                        if(!is_dir($db_img_dir)){
                                //make the directory
                                mkdir($db_img_dir);
                        }

                        //now make the user id dir
                        mkdir($user_img_dir);
                }
        }
        
public function getImage($img){
                $img_array = explode('.', $img);

                switch($img_array[1]){
                        case 'jpg':
                        case 'jpeg':
                                header('Content-Type: image/jpeg');
                                break;

                        case 'png':
                                header('Content-Type: image/png');
                                break;

                        case 'gif':
                                header('Content-Type: image/gif');
                                break;


                }

                header('Content-Disposition: inline;');

                //get the file size
                $img_size = filesize($this->user_img_dir.$img);
                header('Content-Length: '.$img_size);

                echo readfile($this->user_img_dir.$img);
        }
}




If anyone has any ideas, much appreciated.

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.

Good Day,

I'm using the following example script from http://php.net/manual/en/function.session-set-save-handler.php which I have placed in session-handler.php and is included at the top of my index.php file. I have multiple domain names for the same website, so naturally when a person logs into the site, I would like the session to be active across all the domains instead of them having to login again if say they go from mysite.com to mysite2.com.

session-handler.php
<?php

function open($save_path, $session_name)
{
  global $sess_save_path;

  $sess_save_path = $save_path;
  return(true);
}

function close()
{
  return(true);
}

function read($id)
{
  global $sess_save_path;

  $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id";
  return (string) @file_get_contents($sess_file);
}

function write($id, $sess_data)
{
  global $sess_save_path;

  $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id";
  if ($fp = @fopen($sess_file, "w")) {
    $return = fwrite($fp, $sess_data);
    fclose($fp);
    return $return;
  } else {
    return(false);
  }

}

function destroy($id)
{
  global $sess_save_path;

  $sess_file = "$sess_save_path/sess_$id";
  return(@unlink($sess_file));
}

function gc($maxlifetime)
{
  global $sess_save_path;

  foreach (glob("$sess_save_path/sess_*") as $filename) {
    if (filemtime($filename) + $maxlifetime < time()) {
      @unlink($filename);
    }
  }
  return true;
}

session_set_save_handler("open", "close", "read", "write", "destroy", "gc");

session_start();

?>

The script above doesn't appear to be throwing any errors, and I can login like normal but it doesn't seem to be saving the sessions at all. So I still have to login to each separate domain.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ace

Here's a very interesting conundrum that I think will stump quite a few of you.

Here's the setup:

I was put in charge of the project of maintaining and developing a database application for one of my company's customers. The application has been evolving ever since. One of the more recent changes we've been working on is to add file upload functionality to catalog forms, letters, etc. I had this application working before by uploading the file directly to the server, giving it a random name, putting it in a /forms directory, and entering a hyperlink in a log line, which was then entered into the MySQL database. It's a pretty straightforward procedure. BUT my customer doesn't always have net access so he has a laptop running the application with its own MySQL and PHP installation, and he has a script that synchronizes the database with the one on our server. Not very practical or efficient, I know, but I inherited this project and had no choice in the matter. Since the client needs to upload and catalog files, and needs those files to be in sync with our server, I figured instead of just having a folder full of files that also has to be synched, why not throw binary data into the database and have the files in the database? Well I quickly developed a set of scripts to handle this task, and all of them worked flawlessly on our Linux server.

It worked, that is, until I tried to install the same code on our client's Windows crapbox. At this point, I'd like to convey the download script that I wrote:

Code: [Select]
require_once('includes/application.inc.php');
if($_REQUEST['id'])
{
$id = mysql_real_escape_string($_REQUEST['id']);
}
else die("Error");
$result = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Files WHERE id = $id"));
header("Content-type: ".$result['type']);
header("Content-length: ".$result['size']);
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=".$result['filename']);

echo $result['data'];

You see? Very simple and to the point. This script is called from a hyperlink elsewhere in the application, it queries for the file and downloads it. The problem is that when I'm running this download script on the laptop's Windows server, the browser echoes a \r\n as well as the binary data. As you can imagine, this wreaks havoc with files downloaded. Here's what I've determined:

The data IS being stored properly in the database This only happens with certain files and not with others. The most egregious offenders are .odt files. The data is not being returned from the database corrupted. I verified this using various regex's and by dumping the data right out of the database into hex in the browser. Apache is not inserting that line break as seen by testing with static html files
From these things, I have determined that PHP is the most likely culprit. My limited knowledge of the entire library of functions notwithstanding, is there anything I'm missing? Is there a more "safe" way to echo binary data? Does anyone have any sort of clue as to what could be causing this? I've scoured Google and this forum and haven't found anything.

Thanks in advance for your insight.

This is my first post on your forums. I've some problems with a registration form that I've been trying to work out for 2+ days now, asking about it here is a last resort -

I have a config.php file located at config/config.php there's a register.php file in the sites root directory and a includes/form_handlers/register.php

My config.php file is:
 

<?php

ob_start();
session_start();

$timezone = date_default_timezone_set("America/Cancun");

$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$database = "social";

$conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $database);

if (mysqli_connect_error()) {

    echo "Failed to connect: " . mysqli_connect_error();

}

?>

This is my register.php file:

I can't get the reg. form handler to recognize the $conn variable from the config.php file.

if I add require '../../config/config.php'; to it I get this error:

Warning: require(../../config/config.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /opt/lampp/htdocs/qcicnews/includes/form_handlers/register.php on line 3

Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '../../config/config.php' (include_path='.:/opt/lampp/lib/php') in /opt/lampp/htdocs/qcicnews/includes/form_handlers/register.php on line 3

I don't know why it can't find that file, but the way I understand PHP is that I don't need that line because it's in the register.php.  When I don't use it I get a party of errors all connected to it not recognizing the $conn variable:

Notice: Undefined variable: conn in /opt/lampp/htdocs/qcicnews/includes/form_handlers/register.php on line 43

Warning: mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given in /opt/lampp/htdocs/qcicnews/includes/form_handlers/register.php on line 43

Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, null given in /opt/lampp/htdocs/qcicnews/includes/form_handlers/register.php on line 46

 

There's about 6 more that look like the ones above but from different lines where $conn is referenced, I just deleted them for brevity sake.

I'm pretty new to PHP and this is the most difficult situation I've encountered so far, can someone help me find the way here?

 

Is it possible to find out what line of code a PHP script was processing immediately before it is interrupted upon receiving a POSIX signal?

A bit of background - I've got a PHP script which runs (from the command line) hundreds of thousands of times a day and usually it's just fine. Every so often (less than once a week) it gets into a muddle and freezes until I kill it.

I've written a signal handler (using the posix_signal() function) into the script which catches SIGABRT signals. When it gets one, it dumps $GLOBALS to a file, cleanly releases the data its working on then exits. That gives me a nice 'get out of jail free' card, but I'd really like to identify where (and then why) it's freezing.

I could insert loads of debugging code which sets some variable with what stage it's up to, but it's a fairly complicated script and I'd rather not. There's got to be a better way! __LINE__ and __FUNCTION__ unfortunately just point to my signal handler function.

So, is there anyway that the function which is invoked by the SIGABRT signal can report what line of code the script was on at the time the SIGABRT was received?

Or alternatively, is there a way to figure out what a running PHP script is doing if you know its PID? Maybe there's something in /proc/<PID> which might help me...
