PHP - Echo An Array Inside Form Confirmation Email

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]

         echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";
         echo $error."<br /><br />";

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

I still have little knowledge of php, I asked a question earlier but that gave me so as it is now my help please.


I'm looking for an easy script that sends the info and send a confirmation.
but everyone says something different.
Have you a script that I only need to change what data?

before hand thanks     now use this script but does not work also completely leak, I understood for spammmers

Hello everyone, i'm kinda stuck here although i had this working before,  i don't know what's wrong here.

Basically i've got a form with a drop-down menu, that menu has 3 values, x,y and z. Now that form is working with post, sending me to the next page where i have a set of arrays and a echo which should print some text based on the option chosen from the drop down menu.

my code in the form is this:

Code: [Select]
<select name="value1" id="value1">
        <option value="x">x</option>
        <option value="y">y</option>
        <option value="z">z</option>
      </select>
the array on the next page:

Code: [Select]
$arrayvalue = array("x"=>"test1", "y"=>"test2", "z"=>"test3");
and the echo:
Code: [Select]
<?php echo $arrayvalue["value1"];?>
That leaves me with an empty page. What am i doing wrong here ? am i missing something ?

any help is greatly appreciated.

Sabrina

the form results are being sent to the selected email address in the array ... but I need a copy sent to the admin email address as well.

before adding the array addresses ... the forms results were being sent to the admin, but after adding the array ... the admin address is out of the loop.

How do I get the admin@home.com address to receive a copy of the forms results?

I'm not sure if it needs to be a Bcc or what?

Thanks in advance.

_________________________________________________ _______________________________________

$to = $_POST["to"];
if(!in_array($to,array("ian@elsewhere.com","adam@elsewhere.com","keith@elsewhere.com","sue@elsewhere.com","mark@elsewhere.com","scott@elsewhere.com","joyce@elsewhere.com","joe@elsewhere.com","ken@elsewhere.com","info@elsewhere.com")))
$to = "admin@home.com";
$subject = "Order";

So I need to echo a row from my database with php, but where i need to echo is already inside an echo. This is my part of my code:


$con = mysql_connect("$host","$username","$password");
if (!$con)
  {
  die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
  }

mysql_select_db("main", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM Vendor");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  {
//I need to echo right here  .................. but I get a blank page when I try this. Please Help.
  echo '<option value=$row['vendor_id']>'; echo $row['vendor_id']; echo '</option>';
  }

mysql_close($con);

Result: A Blank page.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I need to add rel="..." in the first part of the script but it is not working,

below is the script:

Code: [Select]
echo " <a href='products/".$image[$abc]."' target='_blank'><img border=0 src='products/thumbs2/".$image[$abc]."' /></a>";

Thank you,

how can i put an if statement inside an echo this is what i want to do
Code: [Select]
<?php
echo "<li> <a  class='thumb' href='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/" . $y . ".jpg' title=''>
<img src='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/thumbs/" . $y . ".jpg ' /></a><div class='caption'>
<div class='download'><a href='../images/Sections/pinkpanthers/" . $year . "/" . $sessions . "/" . $day . "/big/" . $y . ".jpg ' target='_blank' />Download</a>
</div><div class='image-desc'>" . if ($count == 1){echo "<a href='tag.php?tag=$name'" . $name . ">" . $name . "</a>";}if ($count > 1){$z = 0;$w = $count - 1;while ($z <= $w){$p = $multi[$z];echo "<a href='tag.php?tag=$p'" . $p . ">" . $p . "</a>";$z++;}} . "</div></div></li>";
?>
all the code works wright up until i added the if statements in the last little bit

Is it possible to echo php inside php? Im guessing not because you are already inside php but there must be a way round my problem.

What I would like to do is if the url has project = something then echo <?php require "footer.php"; ?> if not dont echo anything.

What is the best way to go about doing this ?

The Script:

$desired_width = 110;

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
    $j = 0; //Variable for indexing uploaded image

    for ($i = 0; $i < count($_FILES['file']['name']); $i++) {//loop to get individual element from the array
        $target_path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/gallerysite/multiple_image_upload/uploads/"; //Declaring Path for uploaded images

        $validextensions = array("jpeg", "jpg", "png");  //Extensions which are allowed
        $ext = explode('.', basename($_FILES['file']['name'][$i]));//explode file name from dot(.) 
        $file_extension = end($ext); //store extensions in the variable

        $new_image_name = md5(uniqid()) . "." . $ext[count($ext) - 1];
		$target_path = $target_path . $new_image_name;//set the target path with a new name of image
        $j = $j + 1;//increment the number of uploaded images according to the files in array       
      
	  if (($_FILES["file"]["size"][$i] < 100000) //Approx. 100kb files can be uploaded.
                && in_array($file_extension, $validextensions)) {
            if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'][$i], $target_path)) {//if file moved to uploads folder
                echo $j. ').<span id="noerror">Image uploaded successfully!.</span><br/><br/>';

                $tqs = "INSERT INTO images (`original_image_name`, `image_file`, `date_created`) VALUES ('" . $_FILES['file']['name'][$i] . "', '" . $new_image_name  . "', now())";
                $tqr = mysqli_query($dbc, $tqs);

                // Select the ID numbers of the last inserted images and store them inside an array.
                // Use the implode() function on the array to have a string of the ID numbers separated by commas.
                // Store the ID numbers in the "image_file_id" column of the "thread" table.

                $tqs = "SELECT `id` FROM `images` WHERE `image_file` IN ('$new_image_name')";
                $tqr = mysqli_query($dbc, $tqs) or die(mysqli_error($dbc));

                $fetch_array = array();
                $row = mysqli_fetch_array($tqr);
                $fetch_array[] = $row['id'];


                /*
                 * This prints e.g.:
                    Array ( [0] => 542 )

                    Array ( [0] => 543 )

                    Array ( [0] => 544 )
                 */
                print_r($fetch_array);

                // Goes over to create the thumbnail images.
                $src = $target_path;
                $dest = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/gallerysite/multiple_image_upload/thumbs/" . $new_image_name;

                make_thumb($src, $dest, $desired_width);


            } else {//if file was not moved.
                echo $j. ').<span id="error">please try again!.</span><br/><br/>';
            }
        } else {//if file size and file type was incorrect.

        }
    }
}

Hey, sorry that I am posting this darn image upload script again, I have this almost finished and I am not looking to ask more questions when it comes to this script specifically.   With the script above I have that part where the script should store the ID numbers (the auto_increment column of the table) of the image files inside of one array and then the "implode()" function would get used on the array and then the ID numbers would get inserted into the "image_file_id" column of the "thread" table.   As you can see at the above part the script prints the following:

                    Array ( [0] => 542 )

                    Array ( [0] => 543 )

                    Array ( [0] => 544 )

And I am looking to insert into the column of the table the following:

542, 543, 544

I thought of re-writing the whole image upload script since this happens inside the for loop, though I thought maybe I could be having this done with the script as it is right now.   Any suggestions on how to do this?

Hello guys im new to php i been coding for like a week now, i  need some help here i have been stuck for like 6 hours XD,is it possible to write an IF Statement inside an echo?


//this is what i want to do 
// echo a table and a delete button
// and if you click on the delete button it echoes out "DELETED"


echo "

<table width='528px'>

 if ($_POST['delete']) {  echo "DELETED";     }

</tr><br><br>

";

Im having a problem with getting the quotes correct with this. I can either get the variable to work in the href and img src or in the css. Anyone have any ideas on this. Cuase im really stuck.

This allows the $address and $cos to echo in but not the css variables


<td><?php echo "<a href='planet_profile.php?planet=$address'>
<img src='images/star.jpg' id='$cos' 
style='position:absolute;' left:'$b_x px;' top:'$b_y px;'></a>"; ?></td>


and this allows only the css variables to work


 
<td><?php echo '<a href="planet_profile.php?planet="' . $address . '">
<img src="images/star.jpg" id="' . $cos . '" 
style="position:absolute; left:' . $b_x . 'px; top:' . $b_y . 'px;"></a>'; ?></td>

This probably doesn't matter much, but I am using a 'Display' class for final output to the browser.

The class will display the obvious HTML header and then display either the full site or the mobile site.

It also displays the CSS / JS (which is previously selected in the page-specific controller code as there are variations based on server-side checks).

Basically it is the ONLY class that actually needs to send anything to the browser.

When I begin output and echo inside the class, that is the end of the script - there is no more server-side code to execute.

If I shouldn;t echo inside the class, is it that bad to do so?
