PHP - Send Confirmation Email Problems

I have written a form script that submits the form data to me.  This part works fine.  I also want to send the sender a confirmation e-mail.  I have written this part of the code also, but the from line in the confirmation e-mail is the e-mail of the ISP and not mine.  Any suggestions?

I have been looking everywhere, and can't find a simple example of scripting a confirmation email. Basically, I have a form that is submitting to a database. But when the user submits the form successfully (I already have the validation in place), it sends their submitted email address a confirmation email.

Currently the form submits, fills in fields in a database, and sends the user to a static thank you page. At this time I would like to send them the email. How can this be done somewhat simply?

Hello again.

I have a site where people can order items, as per this thread :

http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=345342.0

Now, I would like to be able to send an order confirmation to the person that has made the order, as well as to the site's ordering department. I have this code :

Code: [Select]
<?php
 if(isset($_POST['Email'])) {
           
     $email_to = "orders@thenewme.co.za";
     $email_subject = "The New Me - Order Confirmation";

         function died($error) {
         // error code 
         echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";
         echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
         echo $error."<br /><br />";
         echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";
         die();

I know I'm probably doing something wrong, can anyone help?

Hi guys,

I understand that there are websites which do teach about creating Email Confirmation, are there any sites which you can recommend? Thanks

Wilson

Hi! My question is probably simple but I've been scratching my head for hours now... I'm pretty new to php. I have an online form for orders; when submitted, an email is sent to the shop manager containing the info the client has filled in. So I pass all the info in the code below, but I can't manage to echo the array containing the order's items/qty/item_code. (I'm using Wordpress, Oxygen Builder, Metabox and Code Snippets, if that helps). Here's the code (used as a Code Snippet):

add_action( 'rwmb_frontend_after_process', function( $config, $post_id ) {
    if ( 'command-form' !== $config['id'] ) {
        return;
    }

    $name = rwmb_meta( 'name', '', $post_id );
    $email = rwmb_meta( 'email', '', $post_id );
    $phone = rwmb_meta( 'phone', '', $post_id );
    $orders = rwmb_meta( 'order', '', $post_id ); */ ---> this is the array I wish to show the elements from (array --> [0]:{item:"item", qty:"qty", code:"code"]}, [1]:{}, etc...} */
    $comments = rwmb_meta( 'comments', '', $post_id );
    $reception = rwmb_meta( 'reception', '', $post_id );
    $destination = rwmb_meta( 'destination', '', $post_id );
    $payment = rwmb_meta( 'payment', '', $post_id );

    $body = "Vous avez reçu une nouvelle commande en ligne!

Nom: $name
Courriel: $email
Téléphone: $phone
Commande: */ ---> this is where I want it displayed, but since it is within $body = " ", I can't seem to be able to use foreach( ) or even print_r( )... */
Commentaires: $comments
Réception: $reception
Paiement: $payment";
     

    $headers = ['Content-type: text/html', "Reply-To: $email"];
    wp_mail( 'address@domain.com', 'Nouvelle commande en ligne', $body );
}, 10, 2 );

 

Help with this would be greatly appreciated! Please let me know if any details are missing. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,
 I used simple php email function but it send an email in junk folder or  spam.
 Can anyone tell me why is this so?

 Her is the code:

$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";


$to  = " xx@gmail.com"; // note the comma



$subject = " $_POST[company_website] ";
$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: About Wholesale Account' . "<$_POST[email]>\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: mail@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: cc@gmail.com' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hello Guys,

 

I need your help as many PHPers here is more experienced in PHP coding than me.

I have specific project I am working on and need a piece of code that can send an email from HTML form using PHP to the email address that is entered manually on the form, instead of standard sent to PHP code that is fixed within PHP script and executed during submission.

I want sth that can grab manually enetered recipient's e-mail address, paste it to the PHP code and then use it to send the email to the recipient, instead of fixed sent to code.  Something would say dynamically changed during the entry that can inject into PHP code the new address email entered on the form and then submit to it.

Any ideas will be great.

 

Thanks.

The code below currently sends a separate Email with data from each row of a table when a Save All button is pressed. So, if I have 4 rows of data, 4 Email will be sent.

I would prefer to receive one Email with 4 sections of data. Any help greatly appreciated.

$email="to@email.com";
$from="from@email.com";
$msg="";
$subject="Registers Info for: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."";
 
$msg.= "Student: ".$values["first_name"]." ".$values["last_name"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Absent or Present: ".$values["attendance_status"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class: ".$values["classname"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Class Date: ".$values["attendance_date"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Amount Received: ".$values["cash_received"]."\r\n";
$msg.= "Paid For: ".$values["cash_whatfor"]."\r\n";
 
$ret=runner_mail(array('to' => $email, 'subject' => $subject, 'body' => $msg, 'from'=>$from));
if(!$ret["Sent"])
echo $ret["message"];

Hi I have a form that I want people to fill out and then click the button and it sends me an email. My problem is that it doesn't send me any emails, I have looked around and I don't seem to find any thing.

This is my form in application_form.php

Code: [Select]
<form action="application_form" method="POST">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
  <tr>
    <td>Full name</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="name" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Email address</td>
    <td><input type="text" size="30" maxlength="80" name="email" /></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Message</td>
    <td><textarea name="message" cols="29" rows="5"></textarea></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit Message" /></td>
  </tr>
</table>
</form>

and this is the php on the same application_form.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
  // Collect variables
  $name = $_POST['name'];
  $email = $_POST['email'];
  $message = $_POST['message'];

  // Send email
  $body = "The following feedback has been submitted:\n\n";
  $body .= "Name: $name\n";
  $body .= "Email: $email\n";
  $body .= "Message: $message";
  mail ("cerberus478@gmail.com","Feedback Received",$body,"From: cerberus478@gmail.com");

  // Output confirmation
  echo "<p>Your message has been received.</p>";
}
?>

Hello, i have been looking for and answer on the internet but i couldn't find it! I'm new on PHP based on and example i wrote something like this for my website:

//basic variables
$EmailFrom = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['EmailFrom']));
$EmailTo = "example@mysite.org";
$Subject = "Registration u10";
$teamname = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['teamname']));
$affiliation = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['affiliation']));
$premier = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['premier']));
$challenge = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['challenge']));
$girls = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['girls']));
$boys = Trim(stripslashes($_POST['boys']));

//about 15 more variables go in here but i don't want to put them to save some space

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

// email body text
//this includes the info of all the variables at the top even the ones I didn't write in here (but you get the point  )

$Body = "";
$Body .= "Team Name: ";
$Body .= $teamname;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";


$Body .= "AYSleague: ";
$Body .= $aysleague;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Flash Tournament: ";
$Body .= $flashtournament;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Spring 2011: ";
$Body .= $spring2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "Summer 2011: ";
$Body .= $summer2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

$Body .= "fall 2011: ";
$Body .= $fall2011;
$Body .= "\n"; $Body .= "\n";

// send email to my inbox with the information above

$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>");

// if everything goes OK it will redirect them to another page

if ($success){
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thanksu12.html\">";
}

else{
  print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.html\">";
}
?>

the problem that i have is:
(i divided it in 2 sections)
1- i need to sent a second email to the coach
2- that email only needs to have the information of 6 variables not the whole thing

I don't know how to do it, if someone knows how to do it, i will appreciate some help!!

thanks!

Hello,
I have a registration page and when a user registers I want to send their email an activation code.
To test I have the following code.

<?php
//Send activation Email

$to = $Email_address;

$subject = "www.WEBSITE.com/";

$message = "Welcome to my website!\r\rYou, or someone using your email address, 
has completed registration at WEBSITE. You can complete registration by clicking the 
following link:\rhttp://www.WEBSITE.com/register.php?action=verify&amp;$activationKey\r\r
If this is an error, ignore this email and you will be removed from our mailing list.\r\rRegards,\ ";

$headers = 'From: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'Reply-To: noreply@abc.com' . "\r\n" .

    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{
    echo 'Success';
}
else
{
    echo 'Error';
}
?>

I have the last if else to see if it is sent to not. I do get a Success message, but I don't get an email at the address (I have checked the spam folder). I have checked the email address and it is correct. I have even waited a few hours and nothing.
Why is the email not getting to my account?

i wrote this code

<?php
$mail_to='XXX@gmail.com';
   $subject_mail='UYYYY';
   $message='XXXXX';



$headers  = "MIME-Version: 1.0 \r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 \r\n";
$headers .= "From: XXX@gmail.com \r\n";

mail($mail_to, $subject_mail, $message, $headers );
?>


but the email will not send
why please?

It's not whole script though.

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.
