PHP - Help - Php Mail "reply-to" Does Not Work, Always Replies Back To Recipient.
Hi All,
I'm having trouble with an email I'm trying to send out. While testing my code, the email that my script sends has the "Reply-To" email address in the headers but when I click "reply", the recipient's email, $to in the code below, is inserted instead of the "Reply-To" email. Am I missing anything? Thanks for the help in advance! $to = "abc@email.com"; $headers = "From: " .$admin_name. "<" .$admin_email. ">\r\n"; $headers .= "Reply-To: " .$host_name. "<" .$host_email. ">\r\n"; $headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "<br>"; $subject = "Subject"; $body = "Body"; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers); Similar TutorialsCan someone please help me with an array problem i can not figure out. I need the array to be numbered from 1 to how ever many fields that are needed in the form and have a mysql field name and the title of the field also in the array. 1, "mysql_field_name", "Title of form field" 2, "", "" and so on then the form will be shown based on the array. I have the following draft code which I am working with. any suggestions on how i may do this array ? Code: [Select] <?php $options = array( '1'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option1', 'mysqlfield'=>'option1'), '2'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option2', 'mysqlfield'=>'option2'), '3'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option3', 'mysqlfield'=>'option3'), '4'=> array('fieldtext'=>'option4', 'mysqlfield'=>'option4'), ); // $options = array(1 => "option1", "option2", "option3", "option4"); // the line above works but i want to include the name of the mysql field as well. $userid = 1; ?> <div style="align: center; margin: 12px; font-family:Tahoma;"> <br><br><?php if ($_POST['Update'] != "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if not get data from mysql. $res = db_query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE `userid` = '" . $userid . "'"); foreach($options as $key => $value) { $_POST[$key] = mysql_result($res, 0, $value); } $ok_to_update = "no"; } elseif ($_POST['Update'] == "Update") { // check if form submitted yet, if so get POST data. // error checking // foreach($options as $key => $value) { // $_POST[$i] = ""; // } $ok_to_update = "yes"; } if ($_POST['Update'] == "Update" && $ok_to_update == "yes") { // $res = db_query("INSERT INTO `users` () VALUES ()"); // add user details to database. ?><p><br><br><br>Thank you for updating</p><?php } else { ?><form name="form1" method="post" action=""> <?php foreach($options as $key => $value) { ?><p><?php echo($value); ?>: <input type="text" name="<?php echo($key); ?>" value="<?php echo($_POST[$key]);?>"></p> <?php } ?> <input name="Update" type="submit" value="Update"> </form> <?php } ?> </div> I am creating a new forum software known as Iforum, it will use php and a database. I just started this yesterday and I all ready have the registration/login system up and working as well as connected to the database. I have selected the CKeditor for my forum (I was initially thinking of using the TinyMCE editor) I can't seem to figure out how when you click the "Post New Thread Button" How to send the information to the database and then carry the user back to the thread. (I am good with php, html, and CSS but I am not great with databases Any suggestions? Hi, bit stuck on how to find and replace "<" and ">" with "<" and ">". I basically have a database record that outputs to screen and I need the code in the <code> tags to be rendered to the screen. I therefore need it to go through the whole array variable from the db and change the symbols just inside the code tags. Please be aware that the code tags might happen more than once here's an example below Code: [Select] <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1> </code> the desired output would be: <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <p>blah blah blah</p> <code> <h1>hello</h1 </code> help on this would be great Cheers Rob "BACK" or REFRESH: Preventing database interaction / code execution how to prevent database interaction / code execution when user presses back or refresh button? can i detect? can i disable back/refresh? Hi, I have set up 2 php pages page 1 - add_entry2.php In this page I have a invoice table created where I can dynamically add/delete rows. This has a View Bill button which takes me to page 2- add_entry3.php In this page it shows up the rows added in page 1 in read only format, so if the user wants to modify the data that he/she entered then he must Click on <back> that i have provided in the page 2 which will direct him to page 1 Now the problem starts here on click of Back the dynamically added rows dissappear..which is frustrating..I know its something to do with my code..but can anyone help me fix it. One more thing is that i dont want to store the data into DB till the finalise button is clicked on page 2 so that means till page 2 is submitted nothing goes to DB from Page 1. I am able to retain values if I use the code Code: [Select] <form action="add_entry2.php" name="eval_edit" method="post" format="html"> i,e if I submit back to the same page and retrieve values form $_POST but If I use the code Code: [Select] <input type="button" value="Back" onClick="history.go(-1);return true;">to get back to add_entry2.ph it looses all the values. Is there any other way to code the BACK link retaining my $_POST values(Do you think $_SESSION would work in this case?) Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ) on line 179 I labeled 179 its at the bottom. I understand this means its already generating the html but not how or where. A solution would of course be nice but if some one could tell me even how to figure it out it would be great.

Ive set up a booking form on my website to be sent directly to my email once the client clicked on the send button.. The problem I am having while checking these pages on wamp is that the booking form is ok but when I click on the send button the following message error appears "Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\wamp\www\fluffy_paws\booking_form2.php on line 27" When I check online I have this message "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." Are my codes wrong??? My webhosting is Blacknight.com , Im on Windows Vista, my internet is a dongle with O2 ireland Thanks for your help! As my titel indicates, I have a problem with a piece of code I wrote some time ago. Everything in my mail form is fine and the mails do get send. But they don't always arrive (checked spam folder). Hotmail or example arrives but a normal email adres from a provider does not. Could this have something to do with SMTP ? could I add this to my code ? I tryed some but so far it does not work, In the code below you can see my working code as it is & the tests I tryed and didn't work out that well.

Any help on this would be truely appreciated! Thank you! Hi guys I'm struggling a bit, I need to replace a word that occurs multiple times in text with an array("up","down","forward","backwards") of words. $find = "left"; $replace = array("up","down","forward","backwards"); $text = "left left left left"; echo str_replace($find,$replace,$text); The Output is: array array array array Did try this with a foreach statement as well, but no luck. Is there a better way of doing this? Thanks I've been struggling with being able to send an e-mail via the php mail() function when the body of the e-mail includes a "unique" URL. The string that will not work is: "https://p11.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.domain.com/dir/directory/file.ext" The point within the string that breaks the capability, is the "/" after www.domain.com. I have tried escaping it like so: "https://p11.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.domain.com\/dir/directory/file.ext" This allows the e-mail to successfully send, however the body of the e-mail contains the backslash as well as the frontslash. Any ideas? cant work out this mysql syntax error "operation":"medupdate","medid":"","name":"ibo","medyear":"5","medmonth":"21","medday":"1","recuser":1,"SuccFail":"fail","SuccFailMessage":"error occured You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '''WHERE med_id=' at line 2","ResultData":""} Code: [Select] $sql="update metodology set med_description='".$req['name']."', med_year='".$req['medyear']."', med_month='".$req['medmonth']."', med_day='".$req['medday']."', med_recorddate= now(), med_recorduserid= 1'"; $sql.= " WHERE med_id=".$req['medid']; I am getting the following error when using composer: "continue" targeting switch is equivalent to "break".

This topic has been moved to Linux. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=318175.0 preg_replace() asks that "Delimiter must not be alphanumeric or backslash" in the pattern. So I changed $new_text = preg_replace($_POST['withthis'] ,$_POST['withthis'],$_POST['text']); to this $replacethis = $_POST['replacethis']; $new_text = preg_replace("/$replacethis/",$_POST['withthis'],$_POST['text']); It works fine, but out of curiosity, is there any way to have the POST variable as a parameter directly, and why does it not work? Just to try it, I attempted: "/$_POST['withthis']/" and $_POST["/'withthis'/"] and both do not work. str_replace is a better option I think, but I am just trying to get a better understanding of this delimiter rule. Thanks for your time! okay.. so I found a list of bad words on line that I want to work into my website's insert. I took the time to create a long comma-delimited list and I'm trying to use this in my page but I keep getting errors. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be escaping because of the many numerous characters in this list. Might someone help? As I didn't want to post a bunch of foul words on this forum, I posted it he http://snipt.org/xmpgk You might not want to visit if you don't like bad words. As the list currently is, I'm getting this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/jeffro/public_html/all/xyzman/inserttodb.php on line 114 ....right on the line where $newwords begins. I'm trying to make the simplest login and this isnt working can someone explain why? thanks if ($_POST['user'] == 'admin' && $_POST['pass'] != '1234') { echo "fail"; } else { echo "win"; no matter what I do it says win Hi, I currently have an if, elseif, else program that starts off with Code: [Select] if( $v_name == "" || $v_msg == "" ) echo "something" how do I turn this into a switch? but the very next elseif I have Code: [Select] elseif( strcspn( $_REQUEST['msg'], '0123456789' ) == strlen( $_REQUEST['msg'] ) ) echo "something" is it possible to turn this into a switch with 2 different strings like that to evaluate?
