PHP - Using Mysql Queries In Phpmailer To Send Mass Email To Certain Users
I have an auctions website and I want to create a feature that is similar to ebay in which users will receive an email if one of the auctions they are watching will end in less than 3 hours. I will be using a cron job to call up this page every 15 minutes. When the cron job executes, I would like it to send 1 email per auction to every user that has that auction on their watchlist if the auction will be ending in 3 hours. I don't know whether it needs to be a separate email for each user or one mass email where their emails are hidden.
The 4 tables in my database we are concerned about are "auctions, "users, "watchlists" and "products." I am trying to use the script phpMailer to execute the code because I heard it was the best one. Anways here is what I have so far. I am missing alot because I had no clue what to do. <?php require("class.phpmailer.php"); $holder = mysql_connect("localhost", "user", "password"); mysql_select_db("database", $holder); // NEED TO FIX THIS // Need to get ALL of the auction id's where the end time is less than 3 hours and the notification hasn't already been sent // $auctionid = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM auctions WHERE DATE_ADD(NOW(), INTERVAL 3 HOUR) <= end_time AND notification = 0", $holder); // get the auction title of EACH of the auctions selected above which is not stored in the auctions table but in the products table..will be used for body of email /// AGAIN, NEED THIS TO GET ME ALL OF THE NAMES OF AUCTIONS THAT ARE ENDING IN 3 HOURS// $auctiontitle = mysql_query("SELECT name FROM products LEFT JOIN auctions ON auctions.product_id=products.id WHERE auctions.id = $auctionid", $holder); // PROBABLY NEED TO FIX THIS // Need to get ALL of the email addresses who have ANY of the above auction ids on their watchlist // $email = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM users LEFT JOIN watchlists ON users.id=watchlists.user_id WHERE watchlists.auction_id = $auctionid", $holder); // Update the auctions table. Turn notification to 1 so the notification for that auction can't be sent again // AGAIN NEED THIS FOR ALL OF THE AUCTIONS ENDING IN 3 HOURS // $query1="UPDATE auctions SET notification = '1' WHERE id = '$auctionid'"; mysql_query($query1) or die(mysql_error()); $mail = new PHPMailer(); $mail->From = "no-reply@domain.com"; $mail->FromName = "Site Name"; // Getting and error message for the foreach but I saw a similar example and this is what I was told to do // NEED THIS TO ADD EACH OF THE EMAIL ADDRESSES INDIVIDUALLY // foreach ( $email as $recipients ) { $mail->AddAddress ($recipients); } $mail->WordWrap = 50; // set word wrap to 50 characters $mail->IsHTML(true); // set email format to HTML $mail->Subject = "Your Watched Auction is Ending Soon"; // Sample Body // WANT TO DISPLAY THE TITLE OF THE AUCTION (NAME OF PRODUCT) FOR THE AUCTION ID USING $auctiontile FROM ABOVE // $mail->Body = "Your auction titled $auctiontile is ending soon"; // Same as above // $mail->AltBody = Your auction titled $auctiontile is ending soon"; if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "Message could not be sent."; echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo; exit; } echo "Message has been sent"; ?> Similar TutorialsDear all, I am using PHPMailer to send notification emails after someone submits the form and as a result I'm receiving an email which has only one line: "A new user has been registered to your website".

Any SMTP or phpmailer geniuses here that can shed some light on what needs to happen here for this to send to any address? Hi there everyone. I'm really confused about this as I want to email eveyone in my DB when a new Event is created by a member. I have a test code which I used to make sure it works and it sends to 5 email addresses (which is all of them) in the test table. This works fine. All members with a 0 get the mail. So I now just took the code and changed the table name (obviously!!) and put it in my live site which has 50 members so far. It now doesn't send any emails??? Not sure why this is as the code is exactly the same (except the table name). $result = mysql_query("SELECT email FROM membership WHERE send_as_email = '0'"); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { sendMail($row[0]); } mysql_free_result($result); function sendMail($to){ $subject = 'New Event Created; $message = "Hi there,\n Just letting you know of a new Event that has been created.\n Title: $title\n Town: $town\n Date: $date_convert\n For more details or to attend this Event, please login \n Many thanks\n The Team\n \n ****************************************************************************\n THIS EMAIL IS AUTOMATED.

The date filed in a table stored in MySQL databse. The Ticket table in MySQL has the following fields: 'ticket_id', 'price','purchase_date', 'expiry_date'. I have already tried with MySQL's Event-Handler feature and PHP's send email feature. Also this can not be done by database triggers as triggers are fired only when the trigger event happens(insert/update/delete) . So, I would be very grateful if anyone help this. Thanks.

Thanks Jay i wanting users to be able to update there email address and check to see if the new email already exists. if the email is the same as current email ignore the check. i have no errors showing up but if I enter a email already in the db it still accepts the new email instead of bringing the back the error message.

How can I send the page as the body in email? I do not need to preview the page, but can send it without ever viewing if that helps. When I put my code into a variable it does nothing. Is it caching? Should I load the results into mysql then send?please advise.. Alright so I have 3 pages. Signup, Password reset and Send message. All three pages/forms email to the recipient.
So far my test have only been with hotmail and gmail.
All emails go through for hotmail accounts. They show up in the hotmail.
All emails DO go through for gmail accounts. But they don't show up in the gmail. The only page that gmail is able to receive emails from is "send message". The emails derived from that send message show up in gmail. The other two don't.
There are not errors on the server side that show up. It clearly shows emails being sent.
Does anyone have a clue why this is happening?
Edited by man5, 23 August 2014 - 03:48 PM. I have phpmailer on a website and after clicking send, it goes to the forms action page and don't seem to redirect to the enquiry confirmation page, the forms action page is a blank white page which am guessing is correct as it's PHP coding but thought it should redirect. I don't get any errors showing what the issue is. I have the phpmailer uploaded onto the FTP server and has the class.phpmailer.php file inside the phpmailer folder. The client has their email going through office365. Below is the code I have + <?php ini_set('display_errors', '1'); ini_set('display_startup_errors', '1'); error_reporting(E_ALL); //index.php $error = ''; $name = ''; $email = ''; $subject = ''; $message = ''; function clean_text($string) { $string = trim($string); $string = stripslashes($string); $string = htmlspecialchars($string); return $string; } if(isset($_POST["submit"])) { if(empty($_POST["name"])) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Please Enter your Name</label></p>'; } else { $name = clean_text($_POST["name"]); if(!preg_match("/^[a-zA-Z ]*$/",$name)) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Only letters and white space allowed</label></p>'; } } if(empty($_POST["email"])) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Please Enter your Email</label></p>'; } else { $email = clean_text($_POST["email"]); if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Invalid email format</label></p>'; } } if(empty($_POST["subject"])) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Subject is required</label></p>'; } else { $subject = clean_text($_POST["subject"]); } if(empty($_POST["message"])) { $error .= '<p><label class="text-danger">Message is required</label></p>'; } else { $message = clean_text($_POST["message"]); } if($error == '') { require 'phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php'; $mail = new PHPMailer; $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; $mail->IsSMTP(); //Sets Mailer to send message using SMTP $mail->Host = 'smtp.office365.com'; //Sets the SMTP hosts $mail->Port = '587'; //Sets the default SMTP server port $mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls'; //Sets connection prefix.

Hello.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________ I have a mysql table which will store users email addresses (each is unique and is the primary field) and a timestamp. I have added another column called `'unique_code' (varchar(64), utf8_unicode_ci)`. What I would very much appreciate assistance with is; a) Generating a 5 digit alphanumeric code, ie: 5ABH6 b) Check all rows the 'unique_code' column to ensure it is unique, otherwise re-generate and check again c) Insert the uniquely generated 5 digit alphanumeric code into `'unique_code'` column, corresponding to the email address just entered. d) display the code on screen. What code must I put and where? **My current php is as follows:** Code: [Select] require "includes/connect.php"; $msg = ''; if($_POST['email']){ // Requested with AJAX: $ajax = ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH'] == 'XMLHttpRequest'); try{ if(!filter_input(INPUT_POST,'email',FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){ throw new Exception('Invalid Email!'); } $mysqli->query("INSERT INTO coming_soon_emails SET email='".$mysqli->real_escape_string($_POST['email'])."'"); if($mysqli->affected_rows != 1){ throw new Exception('You are already on the notification list.'); } if($ajax){ die('{"status":1}'); } $msg = "Thank you!"; } catch (Exception $e){ if($ajax){ die(json_encode(array('error'=>$e->getMessage()))); } $msg = $e->getMessage(); } } Problem: I'm trying to build a junction table for a many to many relationship. Table A contains a title string that contains in it names that are stored in Table B. Both tables have nearly a million rows. Bad solution: The method I'm using right now is using PHP I fetch and store one table into an associative array. I then do a mysql_fetch loop on the second table and run this code to populate an array that is used to build the multi-insert SQL. $title = preg_replace ($names, $keys, $title); if (preg_match_all ('/(\d+)/', $title, $matches)) foreach ($matches[1] as $m) $inserts[$row['id'].'-'.$m] = 1; This works, but I'm looking for possibly a less cpu/memory intensive method. My remote server can't handle it, and we're talking hours and hours on a local server. It seems the bottleneck is with the preg_replace. I've also tried str_replace, which is only slightly faster. So, a method where I wouldn't have to pass around such large arrays, or an entirely different approach is what I'm looking for. Any ideas? I have dozens of tables that a client needs to download through the web. I can use PHP to convert the tables within the database to a CSV however I have to split the files into 10k result chunks otherwise the server gets overloaded with memory. I already raised the memory limit within the script that is downloaded (ini_set('memory_limit', '512M') which is able to make this happen. Downloading these files piece by piece is a really time consuming. Is there a memory safe and efficient way to combine all my tables as CSV's and into one zip them into one master download? PHPMyAdmin seems to do this smoothly, however, I need an online interface for the client to export the data directly... So I am trying to use PHP mailer on my site however it doesn't post to the email Here is the code: Top: <?php
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
require 'vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/src/Exception.php'; Where it sends: require 'vendor/autoload.php';
//Instantiation and passing `true` enables exceptions
I have tried everything but it still won't post. |
