PHP - Phpmailer Not Posting To Email

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";

I have an email form that is working wonderfully. I have a select box that has a list of names of people that you can email. That list is being pulled from a database.

It is currently sending to the email related to the name selected in the dropdown menu. However, in the email that sends, I would like the name of the recipient to show up in the greeting. I.E. Dear "name from dropdown".

How do I go about doing this. My select box that holds the query for the name is as folows:

<?php 
echo '<select name="First_and_Last_Name">';
while( $array = mysql_fetch_assoc($result) ) {
    $text_for_select = $array["First_Name"] . " " . $array["Last_Name"]. " " . $array["District"];
$value_for_select = $array["Email"];
echo "<option></option>\n";
echo "<option value=\"$value_for_select\">$text_for_select</option>\n"; 
}
echo '</select>';?> 

No, this is querying the First and Last Name and another variable called district in to a new variable called "text_for_select". I just want to either print the "text_for_select" after the "Dear", or better yet, just the "First_Name" and "Last_Name".

How would I get this to print there?

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.
Code: [Select]
// email enterd from form //
$email=$_POST['email'];


$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE inv='$ivn' ") or die (mysql_error());
 while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $queryuser )) {
  $check=$info['email'];
 // gets current email //
}


if($check!=$email){
// if check not equal to $email check the new email address already exists//
$queryuser=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM members WHERE email='$email' ");
//$result=mysql_query($sql);
$checkuser=mysql_num_rows($queryuser);
if($checkuser != 0)
{
$error= "0";
header('LOCATION:../pages/myprofile.php?id='.$error.'');


}
}

cheers

hey guys im using phpmailer (https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer) to send mail from my server to users using SMTP...the problem im getting is that when i send a mail it goes stright into the junk mail...how can i please stop this please?

$mail = new \Mail\Mail;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = "****";
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "****";
$mail->Password = "***";
$mail->setFrom('***', '****');
$mail->addAddress('email@hotmail.co.uk', 'user');
$mail->Subject = 'BiSi - Welcome';
$mail->msgHTML('<a href="test">hello</a>');
$mail->AltBody = "This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients";
if (!$mail->send()) {
	echo "Mailer Error: ";
} else {
	echo "Message sent!";
}

Will someone, who doesn't mind helping an old man understand some things, explain how to use PHPMailer?   You see, I downloaded a registration form that sends a verification e-mail. I'm testing all of this on my local machine (Linux). The mail, of course, fails to be delivered. So I surf around and see where phpmailer can help me with this. So I downloaded phpmailer-master. But I have absoultely no idea where to put what so I'll have e-mail capability from localhost.   If you can tell me what goes where, I promise to name my next child after ya   I just need some guidance on this one. It has me totally confused!   Landslyde   PS: Happy 2015 to all!

Hi.

I'm using PHP mailer.
But I can't get it to send the Email:

Class:
Code: [Select]
public function send_notification($sendTo, $name, $from_name, $from_email, $body_content, $subject){
$message =<<<EMAILBODY

{$body_content}

EMAILBODY;

$message = wordwrap($message, 70);
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = "localhost";
$mail->Port = 25;
$mail->SMTPAuth = false;
$mail->isHTML(TRUE);
$mail->FromName = $from_name;
$mail->From = $from_email;
$mail->AddAddress($sendTo, $name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $message;

$result = $mail->Send();
return $result;
}



PHP
Code: [Select]
$body_content = '
Dear BusinessMobile.com
<br /><br />
A website user has filled in the form on the website. See the details below.
<br /><br />
Company: '.$company.'<br />
Name: '.$name.'<br />
Email: '.$email.'<br />
Tele: '.$telephone.'<br />
Message: '.$message.'<br /><br />
Interest: '.$Fpage.'<br />
Reference: '.$ref.'<br /><br />';

$subject = 'BusinessMobile.com - Contact Request';
Form_signup::send_notification('spires1@mail.com', 'BM', 'BM', 'spires1@mail.com', $body_content, $subject);




Any ideas where i'm going wrong ?

Thanks

I have been away from a coding project for over 2 years.  Trying to get things online, and not cause further delays.  My site uses the PHP Mailer class to send out emails to users for things like password resets.

How important is it that I have the latest version of this class - assuming it is even still around now?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am a PHP beginner and I  made a PHP page which inserts data into a MYSql database.

....
$InsertQuery->Action = "insert";
  $InsertQuery->Table = "klanten";
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Klantnummer", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Klantnummer"]))?$_POST["Klantnummer"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Naam_organisatie", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Naam_organisatie"]))?$_POST["Naam_organisatie"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Adres_organisatie", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Adres_organisatie"]))?$_POST["Adres_organisatie"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Postcode_organisatie", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Postcode_organisatie"]))?$_POST["Postcode_organisatie"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Woonplaats_organisatie", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Woonplaats_organisatie"]))?$_POST["Woonplaats_organisatie"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("BTW_plichtig", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["BTW_plichtig"]))?$_POST["BTW_plichtig"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
  $InsertQuery->bindColumn("Email", "s", "".strtoupper(((isset($_POST["Email"]))?$_POST["Email"]:""))  ."", "WA_DEFAULT");
...

After the insert, I want to send all the data with a mail to a recepient. But I can't find a way to code the "setForm" correctly with the inserted field "Email".

<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);

use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\src\Exception;

require 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\src\Exception.php';
require 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\src\PHPMailer.php';
require 'PHPMailer\PHPMailer\src\SMTP.php';
	
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); 
$mail->Host = "smtp.myhosting.be"; 
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; 
$mail->Username = 'username@domain.com';
$mail->Password = 'password'; 
$mail->setFrom = $_POST('Email');                  // doesn't work
$mail->AddAddress('recipient@domain.com');
$mail->Subject = "subject";
$mail->Body = "text";   // in the body I want an overview of all the inserted data
$mail->IsHTML(true); 
if(!$mail->Send()) 
{ 
echo "Error sending: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;; 
} 
$mail->ClearAddresses();
$mail->ClearAttachments();
?>	

How can I do that?
Thank you in advance for your comments.

I downloaded the PHPMailer. I can send email from gmail mail server to the registered users in my website smoothly. But when I upload it to my web host basically I edited all the credentials and apply my new host mail server username, password, host, port, etc. When i try to send this is the error:

I am new to phpmailer and still trying to learn and understand it, I can do the basics in it if want to just use it to send a email but now want to use it to send attachments but the attachments are optional and only want to be able to send jpg and png attachments but am trying to concentrate on one thing at a time but getting frustrated with it. I am currently trying to get it so that the attachments are not required so if the user sends the form with no attachments, the form sends all ok and the same as if the user sends attachments, below is my current code but is not working, am getting unexpected errors as either ; or }

 

$attachmentNames = [];
    
    //Attach multiple files one by one
    for ($ct = 0; $ct < count($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name']); $ct++) {
        $uploadfile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), hash('sha256', $_FILES['userfile']['name'][$ct]));        
        $filename = $_FILES['userfile']['name'][$ct];
        if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'][$ct], $uploadfile)) {
            $mail->addAttachment($uploadfile, $filename);
            $attachmentNames[] = $_FILES['userfile']['name'][$ct];
        } else {
            $msg .= 'Failed to move file to ' . $uploadfile;
        }
        if ($mail->addAttachment {
            $msg .= 'Failed to attach file'
        }
    }

    $mail->Subject = 'New Repair Booking Made At' . ' ' .date('d-m-Y H:i:s');
            
    $mail->Body    = "A new repair has been booked in. This repair booking was made at " . $date = date('d-m-Y H:i:s') . "\r\n\r\n" . "The repair information is below" . "\r\n\r\n" . "Repair Date/Time: " . $_POST["date"] . "\r\n" . "Device: " . $_POST["selectdevice"] . "\r\n" . "Brand: " . $_POST["selectbrand"] . "\r\n" . "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n" .

So my question is, how can I get rid of this error? How should I best edit this function to no longer use the deprecated set_magic_quotes_runtime()?

Any help is appreciated,

I am working on a webform that sends an email when submitted. The following output appears intermittently on the form.php page (I have currently disabled the page forwarding so I can see the output more easily).  I am not quite sure what is going on, but when this occurs, no email is sent.  Here's what the output looks like:

Code: [Select]
SMTP -> FROM SERVER: SMTP -> FROM SERVER: SMTP -> ERROR: HELO not accepted from server: SMTP -> FROM SERVER: SMTP -> ERROR: MAIL not accepted from server: Message could not be sent.
Mailer Error: SMTP Error: From address [myemail@myserver.com] failed
This same file and same configuration has worked on and off, even when no changes are made.  It seems that maybe the server is simply denying connections for some reason, but I'm not entirely sure, hence the post here.  Any suggestions or ideas for debugging are GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks!

Here is the code I have to process a contact form:

<?php
  // DEFINE VARIABLE AND SET EMPTY VALUES
  $varfnameErr = $varlnameErr = $varemailErr = $varphoneErr = $varmessageErr = "";
  $varfname = $varlname = $varemail = $varphone = $varmessage = $varipaddress = $formerror = $success = "";
  
  $varfnameErr = $_REQUEST['varfnameErr'] ;
  $varlnameErr = $_REQUEST['varlnameErr'] ;
  $varemailErr = $_REQUEST['varemailErr'] ;
  $varphoneErr = $_REQUEST['varphoneErr'] ;
  $varmessageErr = $_REQUEST['varmessageErr'] ;
  
  $varfname = $_REQUEST['varfname'] ;
  $varlname = $_REQUEST['varlname'] ;
  $varemail = $_REQUEST['varemail'] ;
  $varphone = $_REQUEST['varphone'] ;
  $varmessage = $_REQUEST['varmessage'] ;
  $varipaddress = $_REQUEST['varipaddress'] ;

  $message = '<html><body>';
  $message .= '<p>Form submitted by: ' .$varfname. ' ' .$varlname. '</p>';
  $message .= '<p>Email: ' .$varemail. '</p>';
  $message .= '<p>Phone Number: ' .$varphone. '</p>';
  $message .= '<p>Message: ' .$varmessage. '</p>';
  $message .= '<p>IP Address: ' .$varipaddress. '</p>';
  $message .= '</body></html>';

  $mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // 0 = off (for production use) - 1 = client messages - 2 = client and server messages

  $mail->AltBody = 'HTML messaging not supported'; // If html emails is not supported by the receiver, show this body
  //$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png'); //Attach an image file
  $mail->SMTPOptions = array(
    'ssl' => array(
    'verify_peer' => false,
    'verify_peer_name' => false,
    'allow_self_signed' => true
    )
  );
  
  if(!$mail->send()){
    echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
  }else{
    $success = "<p class='success'>Message sent! Thank you!</br>IP Address: " .$varipaddress. " recorded</p>";
    $varfname = $varlname = $varemail = $varphone = $varmessage = "";
  }
?>

 

When the form is completed and submitted this is the error that I get.  I have no idea what this means.  If someone understands the error, could you please give me a clue?

Hello all,
i currently have a yahoo hosting and since they have a limit of outgoing emails, i want to use smtp to send emails from another server.
Below is the code i'm using (phpmailer for PHP 4):
<?php
include_once("phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();

$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1; 
$mail->SMTPAuth   = true;
$mail->Host       = "mail.domainname.info";
$mail->Port       = 25; 
$mail->Username   = "web@domainname.info";
$mail->Password   = "password";

$subject = "domainname";

$body = $mail->getFile("message/header-mail.php");
$body = "<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"540\">
<tr>
<td align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" style=\"padding-top: 50px;\" >
<span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #F58220;\">
text goes here
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</tr>
</table>";
$body .= $mail->getFile("message/footer-mail.php");
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->From       = "noreply@domainname.com";
$mail->FromName   = "domainname";

$mail->AddAddress("testemail@gmail.com", "firstname lastname");

$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->MsgHTML($body);

if ($mail->Send()) {
echo "Message sent!";
} else {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
?>

the code above gives me this error when i run it: SMTP -> ERROR: Failed to connect to server: No route to host (65) Mailer Error: SMTP Error: Could not connect to SMTP host. 
The above script is working if i run it directly on the mailing server instead of the yahoo one.

Thanks for the help
