PHP - Php Function To Send Email To Manual Email Entry

Hey, i'm needing to use email in a php script, but i've had no luck getting this working.. Even with perfectly given details.

Is there another way which would let me email?

I've tried using smtp details from live, gmail, isp email... All of which say it's send, but is not the case.

The function is extremely broken, is there an alternative? Or some way to get this working?

Kris.

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?

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 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?

Hi guys, i have a custom made php that collect all the info in admin page (long story short), there's a button called "Approve" I would like to send back an email to user who applied with picture, once Approved button is pressed, so here's the script:


<?php
session_start();
$user = '123';
$pass = '123';
$to = $data['email'];
$subject = 'blablabla';
$message = 'test123';
if (!isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) || !isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']) || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] != $user || $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] != $pass)
{
    header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="Enter password to access this page."');
    header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
    echo"You must be logged in to see this page.";

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!

Hi, Im getting better at this php lark!
ok so now I have a signup website page, all details get added to the database including an email address, all works fine.

now I would like a page, with a simple text box, that when you hit submit, it send the contents of the text box to all email address` in the members table, a really really simple newsletter so to speak. Its purely for my learning curve and Ill set up recapacha on it anyway.

but Im getting a bit lost in the code, could someone guide me please? I can grab the contents of the text box like this:

$letter     = $_POST['letter];

but how do I send to all recipients?
$recipient = ("SELECT email FROM members");

thanks

Wut's happening forum

So everytime I send an email using mail ( ) like this:



$to = "$email";
$subject = "Mailing List Confirmation";
$headers = "From: blah blah blah";
$body = "Hello, $fname

Thank you for your subscription to this update mailing list.

Once an entry related to $query is updated, an email notification would be sent to you promptly.

Regards,

Blah blah blah.";

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




I mean it works perfectly, but there's always a messsage saying "this email is suspicious" or some sort when I use hotmail

but when i use gmail, no such warning appears. Still i would like to send a "non-suspicious" email in case some users r using hotmail.

Is there anyway i can fix up this code to enhance its security level?

thanks

Hi guys,

I have a problem with the $header variable. I am trying to extract the value from the $name method and included with the $email method.

<?php

   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
 }
}
?>



Something got to do with this line:

$header = 'From: $name <-f $email>' . "\r\n";

My problem is I can see in my email that the sender name has been included with (unknown sender) while the email address are display as empty address. I am really not sure why I have got the blank sender name and with the blank sender address.


Do you know what the main problem is and what I need to change it with?

Any advice would be much appreciate.

Thanks,
Mark

i have the following which sends an email whenever a post is made within the topic the user is subscribed to.

Iwant to make a contact us script and here is done so far. I am almost sure its about preg match filters but cant find a solution why it doesnt work. Appreciate any help. Here is my code:

               $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email_from = $_POST['email'];
   $comments = $_POST['comments'];
   $emailtrue = '/^([A-Za-z0-9-_]+@[A-Za-z0-9-_]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,4})$/';
   $nametrue = "/^[A-Za-z]+$/D";
    if(!preg_match($nametrue,$first_name)) {
                    echo "The First Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
        die (); }
               if(!preg_match($nametrue,$last_name))  {
                    echo "The Last Name you entered does not appear to be valid.";
                    die (); }
    if(!preg_match($emailtrue,$email_from)) {
        echo "The Email Address you entered does not appear to be valid.";       
                    die (); }
    if(strlen($comments) < 4)  {         
       echo "The Comments you entered do not appear to be valid. Min. 4 letters." ;
       die (); }
        $to      = xxxxxxxxxx.com';
                $subject = 'User Email';
       $headers = 'From: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
   'Reply-To: '.$email_from. "\r\n" .
               'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
               mail($to, $subject, $comments, $headers);

Hi, would like to know if there is any way to send email using localhost? is it possible and how can i do it?

I have mixed text with emails. Some are .com, .co.uk, .it, .se, dk, de, and so on.

<form action="mail.php" method="post"> <textarea name="emails" value="emails"></textarea> <input type="submit" value="Subscribe"> </form>
<?php $emails = $_POST["emails"]; 
//$email = explode/ltrim/array/string/all of that
echo $emails;

All the emails, unfortunately.

blabla1@hotmail.com
blabla2@hotmail.de
blabla3@yahoo.com
blabla4@hotmail.es
blabla5@gmail.es 
...

But how can I have with one language, example I would have only .de:

blabla1@hotmail.de 
blabla2@hotmail.de 
blabla3@gmail.de 
blabla4@yahoo.de 
blabla5@gmail.de 
...

and next I would have only .se, and so on.

Can you tell me? I am newbie.

Is it possible to use a php mail script to send an email confirmation after submit and that confirmation is HTML format?

I have a working script that sends a confirmation with attachment, but I would like to format it as an HTML email.

Ideas?
