PHP - My Sendmail.php Only Sends 2 Variables

I am getting an error on a form which sends an email if the form is succesfull. I think there may ne an issue with the sendmail function. I am using a hosting company and not sure if sendmail is something that has to be enabled in the .ini file. Is there any way to check without getting the hosting company involved?

Hi, my webhost has the mail() function disabled. However, my emails are hosted in the offices sever and can't use smtp due to the firewall blocking it. How do I setup sendmail instead of the mail(). I tried googling this but keep coming across to the mail() functions.

Hello,

I am using the Pear Mail and Mail_Mime packages to send SMTP authenticated HTML formatted emails. I was successfully sending emails when I started getting the following error:

sendmail: 451 Internal Error

I check out the sendmail logs at /var/log/mail.log but that only says the same thing.

I am running Linux-Ubuntu and sending emails from an address on a remote server (godaddy hosted). The interesting thing is that this exact same code will run to completion and fail.

Any thoughts? Anyone with Pear Mail experience, is there any way to  end the SMTP session, maybe that is the problem. I also think an issue might be that the server thinks my IP is sending too many emails, any way to provision against that?

Thanks for any insight and please let me know if other information might be helpful to debug this.

Had the following code working for months and now its not working anymore???  I dont't think the code is the correct way to do it but it did work, Can someone please look at it or give me the correct code.  All I am trying to do is take the data from the form and email it to an email address and cc the user that filled out the form.   I would like to add a bcc in the future.  Here is my current code   

<?php
$email = $_POST['EMAIL'];
$mailto = "user@domain.com, user@domain.org";
$mailhead = "FROM: LOI<user@domain.org>"."\r\n";
$mailhead .= "Reply-To: user@domain.org"."\r\n";
$mailhead .= "CC: ".$email;
$mailbody = "Values submitted from LOI:\n";
while (list($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

header("LOCATION: letter.html");
?>



(my file structure is the following.  inquiry.html has a form and the submit button goes to letter.php(code above) then it directs to letter.html)


Thanks

Hi I am having a problem with the code below I am using to send a simple php email form.

I am not that advanced with php but I want to add a drop down menu to a form I created and not sure how to get get the message (warning not completed) in the field -  if(empty($visitortitle)) {  - to accept or not to accept?

This is the code in the form:

<td align="left"><select name="visitortitle">
                              <option>Please Select</option>
                              <option>Mr</option>
                              <option>Mrs</option>
                              <option>Miss</option>
                              <option>Ms</option>
                              <option>Dr</option>
                            </select>

This is the code I have got in the sendemail:

if(empty($visitortitle)) {
echo "<h2><br /><br /><br /><br />Please hit the back button and enter the title drop down box correctly<br />before you try submitting the form again.</h2>\n";
die ( '<a href="forum.html">click here go back and try again</a>' );
}

How can I get this code to recognise that a <option></option> has been selected?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Gary

Hi guys I'm seriously stressing hard about this. I seem to have written everything properly but my contact form just won't send an e-mail and update the status on my webpage.

I Have the following issue and I spend my whole day looking for it.

I have a database with a simple admin where I add/delete values.

The database structure is the following:

id, zip, email
The database is called zipdatabase

Here is the mailing part:

Code: [Select]
//headers
$headers = "From: <$Email>";
$headers .= "\r\nBcc: <$Bcc>\r\n\r\n";

// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $headers);The variable $Bcc must come from the database. I am really ignorant so I only got to a point on how to echo the results I need (and this works):
Code: [Select]
$query  = "SELECT email FROM zipdatabase WHERE zip = '$ZIP'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   echo "{$r['email']}, ";
}
?>
For a zip I get more than one result so when I tried using this

Code: [Select]
$query  = "SELECT email FROM zipdatabase WHERE zip = '$ZIP'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
   $Bcc = "{$r['email']}, ";
}
echo "Bcc"
?>
It only gives me one result.

What I noticed is I have 2 issues:
- I can't extract the BCC from the database
- I don't know how to add more email addresses to the bcc field, I only managed to add more addresses to the $Emailto like:
Code: [Select]
$EmailTo = "address1@domain.com, address2@domain.com";
$Bcc = "address3@domain.com";
All these variables are defined by a webform and it works flawlessly except the database problem:

Code: [Select]
$Name = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Name']));
$Phone = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Phone']));
$ZIP = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['ZIP']));
$Email = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Email']));
$Message = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['Message']));

// validation
$validationOK=true;
if (!$validationOK) {
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=contacterror.htm\">";
  exit;
}

// prepare email body text
$Body = "";
$Body .= "Name: ";
$Body .= $Name;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Phone: ";
$Body .= $Phone;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "ZIP: ";
$Body .= $ZIP;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Email: ";
$Body .= $Email;
$Body .= "\n";
$Body .= "Message: ";
$Body .= $Message;
$Body .= "\n";

Sorry for my ignorance and hope someone here can help.
The webform works perfectly except the bcc from the database part.

I've got PHP setup on Ubuntu with MySQL. I've got sendmail installed but for some reason I can't get mail() to work. Does anyone have good guidelines for getting this setup properly?

First off, I am new to PHP, and want to learn it, but it seems very complicated. Where do I begin?

I found a script online for a contact form and I am having trouble making it work for my needs. I wanted to include a phone number field in the email message. This is what I have so far for the PHP, but it does not include the phone field in the body of the message. Everything else works fine. Apologize in advance if this message has been posted many times before.


<?php

$post = (!empty($_POST)) ? true : false;

if($post)
{
include 'functions.php';

$name = stripslashes($_POST['contactname']);
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
$subject = "New Message from your website"; 
$message = stripslashes($_POST['message']);
$phone = stripslashes($_POST['phone']);



$error = '';

// Check name

if(!$name)
{
$error .= 'Please enter your name.<br />';
}

// Check email

if(!$email)
{
$error .= 'Please enter an e-mail address.<br />';
}

if($email && !ValidateEmail($email))
{
$error .= 'Please enter a valid e-mail address.<br />';
}

// Check message (length)

if(!$message || strlen($message) < 15)
{
$error .= "Please enter your message. It should have at least 15 characters.<br />";
}


if(!$error)
{
$mail = mail(WEBMASTER_EMAIL, $subject, $message,
     "From: ".$name." <".$email.">\r\n"
    ."Reply-To: ".$email."\r\n"
    ."X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion());


if($mail)
{
echo 'OK';
}

}
else
{
echo '<div class="notification_error">'.$error.'</div>';
}

}
?>

Here is one of my emails.

My headers function is...

Code: [Select]
function mail_header ($type, $random_hash)
{
$type = (int)$type;

if ($type === 0)
{
$boundary = $random_hash;
$x_mailer = phpversion();
$time_stamp = date("r");

$headers  = 'Message-ID: <'.$boundary.'-050333@big.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Date: ' . $time_stamp . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP-' . $x_mailer . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Sender: "big" <contact@big.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Priority: 3' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Organization: big' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Errors-To: contact@big.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Sender: contact@big.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: "big" <contact@big.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Reply-To: "big" <contact@big.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Return-Path: "big" <contact@big.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=' . $boundary . "\r\n";
}

return $headers;
}

does anyone know how to decode this XML variable value into string values? I also need to know the oposite way: creating variable values into xml. I've tried several code examples but they did filter the requested data.

Code: [Select]
$xml='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
