hello jessica.. i once saw a tut that you authored using phpmailer.. i looked again but didnt find it.. i want to make a form list names and emails from a mysql database.. then sending them emals.. do you talk about using phpmailer for this? thanx for your reply in this thread.. i didnt understand that 'mail' is its own functtion..i was looking for 'mail.domain.com' i still dont know what would be shown to recipient about where the email came from... thanx

the question is.. this thread is about successful emailing from databse using php yet i dont see the mailer coded in the php.. what am i missing?

sorry ,, this is code.. i think include("config.php"); mysql_connect($db_host, $db_user, $db_pwd); mysql_select_db($db_name); if (!$_POST) { include("form.php"); } else { $formbody = $_POST['formbody']; $sql = "SELECT $db_usernamefield, $db_emailfield FROM $db_table"; $result = mysql_query($sql); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $username = $row['username']; $email = $row['email']; $body = "$formbody"; $body = str_replace("[username]", $username, $body); if(mail ($email, $emailsubject, $body, "From: $fromname <$fromemail>")) echo "Messages sent"; } } ?>

Hi: i ve been looking at other ppl's success @ pulling info from sql database then emailing .. i see this old thread. http://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/51205-solved-email-all-addresses-in-a-mysql-table/?hl=%2Bphpmailer+%2Btutorial i am not seeing the actual mailer... ex.) mail.domain.com .. etc.. why does this work? it does seem that phpmailer can work for this also? i am verry new to this and appreciate the patience.. thanx

could you be a little bit more specific.. an example? i did change this: $to = $_GET["mail_$x"]; to this $to = "[email protected]" i have been sending to myself..w/o any love thank you for your reply..

hi: i have this form.php.. type address for form and it displays all names and email address from sql database. i type in message into box and send to all recipients listed on form. the connection is successful .. the mail gets processed but no emails are sent. i use this on a real web host.. not xammp etc. i think the problem may be in this line but every change i tried doesnt work.. :: ini_set("SMTP", "mail.tap~~.com"); full code here: require('connect.php'); // change php.ini smtp line ini_set("SMTP", "mail.tap~~.com"); // standard mail header $headers = "From: Tap~~"; // get meessage to send $message = $_GET['message']; // loop through names / emails on index form for ($x=0; $x<count($_GET); $x++) { if ($_GET["mail_$x"]) { // mail setup $to = $_GET["mail_$x"]; $subject = "News From Tap~~"; $body = "Dear " . $_GET["name_$x"] . " \n\n $message \n\n Josh \n\n Tap~~ "; mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers ); } } echo "All Mail Has Been Processed"; i have searched about this for hours.. i really appreciate the looksy thanx

Hi: i have simple form. i use an external javascfipt file to validate required fields.... works fine if user has java turned on. i have an external php file to validate after js .. it has separate error page listing missing fields..and a thank you page that works if form passes validation i really want the php to report missing fields next to the actual boxes like the js does.. this is my jsbin link showing the html , css and js + preview window and how it works.:: http://jsbin.com/osahah/1/edit this is my php file Send_Questions.php ------------------------------- in trying to put errors next to same fields, i changed this working HTML code snip: <div class="input"> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" /><span class="emailError, emailError2"></span> <div class="error" id="emailError"> <p stlye="float:left"/>Required: Please enter your email address </div> to this:: <div class="input"> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="30" /><span class="emailError, emailError2"></span> <div class="error" id="emailError" value="<?php echo $error_message; ?>"><br> <p stlye="float:left"/>Required: Please enter your email address </div> i also tried :: <div class="error" id="emailError" <span>"<?php echo $error_message.='Required: Please enter your email address'; ?></span><br> <p stlye="float:left"/>Required: Please enter your email address </div> the first snip is for js validation..it displays errors next to appropriate fields IF user java is turned on. i wanted to keep the js validation and add the php validation using an external php file.. of course the php example doesnt work.. the $error_message comes from the .php file.. am i close?.. i have tried moving the tiny php line to other locations,, also i tried with and without the <span> tag.. still i get taken to the error page.. thanx for lookin i appreciate any help

Dear exe trix:: thanx for your reply last week.. i was so tired and blurry that day, i didnt see what was in front of me.. this project is for our not-for-profit club and i did not come back to it until today. i now see what you gave me. i think i understand and will try to adapt to my use. i am concerned to use this as worry-free tho. i do not make habit of joining forums for help and offending anyone who posts for my benefit.. sorry again.

thanx again for helping.. i just wanted to understand what you are showing me.. i am new and not sure what im looking at.. i am probly a little bit dizzy .. i ve been trying hard on my own for a while before i come here.. this is my real contact form from our non profit org..and how it works for now.. http://www.kcorchidshow.org/OSGKC_Questons.html

Hi: thanx for the replies.. this is where i took reference from:: http://phpmaster.com/form-validation-with-php/ can i assuse that your code gives me the missing-req'd-info errors on same page? i do have working contact page and when req'd info is not complete, user is taken to page saying whats missing.. the report on the same form page is much nicer. thanx
