So for this project im working on I have a newsletter subscription for the website, when a user submits their email address it is sent to the database and as well a "eMail" is sent to the user with a activation link. I wanted this activation link to limit emails being sent to bots, spiders and all that crap thats not done by humans.... anyways. so I have used this mail function before and works great, but for some reason the only thing my script is not doing is sending the email and I can't seem to figure out why. and yes thats why i am here lol... i figured to have a couple other sets of eyes look at my code and see if i missed something. CODE: <?php $em = $_POST['em']; $status = "OK"; // setting the flag to check the status $msg=""; // setting the variable for message if (!stristr($em,"@") OR !stristr($em,".")) { $msg="Your email address is not correct: ".$em."<BR>"; $status= "NOTOK"; } if($status=="OK"){ // Now the email is valid and we can add to our database $activation = md5(uniqid(rand(), true)); $query=("INSERT INTO nl_subscribe (em,status) VALUES ('$em','$activation')"); $result=mysql_query($query); // Send the email: $message = ' To activate your account, please click on this link:\n\n'; $message .= ' FULL URL HERE activate.php?email=' . urlencode($em) . '&key='.$activation; mail('guber_x@hotmail.com', 'Newsletter Confirmation', $message, 'From: noreply@fightingforyesterday.com'); echo '<center>THANK YOU '.$em.'<br>Thanks for subscribing to our newsletter and any time you can unsubscribe by clicking a link in your newsletter</center>'; } else {echo "<center>$msg </center>";} // this will display the error message if email address is not valid one. ?>

Hello, I wrote an emailer script to add to my web site. The code seems to be fine and the variables seem to parse, but still I can not send an e-mail. Could you please tell me what am I doing wrong? I think the error is somewhere in the sendEmail function, but a second opinion is always better to have. The code is: <?php class emailer { private $sender; private $subject; private $body; function __construct($sender) { $this->sender = $sender; //$this->recipient = $recipient; } function addSender($sender){ $this->sender = $sender; } function addSubject($subject){ $this->subject = $subject; } function addBody($body){ $this->body = $body; } function sendEmail(){ $this->recipient = 'test@mail.com'; $this->result = mail($this->recipient, $this->subject, $this->body, "From: {$this->sender} \r\n"); if (!$this->result){ echo $this->result; echo $this->recipient; echo $this->sender; echo $this->subject; echo $this->body; echo "Error"; } else{ echo "e-mail was sent."; } } } ?> Thank you in advance. PS. when I execute the script, I get as output "Error", and I also get the data stored in the variables (recipient,sender,subject, and body).

Hi This is my first so i would like to say hello. I am a novice when it comes to php code and i am just trying to get my head around a few things. So i have set a shop and got everything sorted but i need to put more information in a payment confirmation email that we receive after an order is placed. At the moment we receive this: The status of payment {$PAYMENT_ID} for order {$ORDER_ID} changed. I located the code so i could go about adding parameters to the code so that i get the payment id,order id (which is already there) but i also wanted the product name and amount. So i tried adding {$PRODUCT_NAME} like this and also amount like this {$PRICE}. But anything i tried when i made a test purchase just showed up as code. But the payment and order id showed up fine. What am i doing wrong? If anyone could help that would great.

Hi there, I am not a proper coder, and am using the built in Dreamweaver options to display some tables and do some updates to tables. I have a form on a php page to update a record, which works fine, but I would like the page to send a php email of the contents of the form either before or after it updates the database. How can I do this? I think the code that Dreamweaver uses to update the table and redirect is this: $updateGoTo = "thank-you.php"; if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) { $updateGoTo .= (strpos($updateGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?"; $updateGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; } header(sprintf("Location: %s", $updateGoTo)); } What I would like to do is insert a script there somewhere, that will send an html email to a recipient with the information contained in the form, so that they are notified of the update, and what the contents of the update are. Is there someone on this site who could explain to me where to insert the code for the php email, or explain a better way to do it? Thanks for the help

Im trying to send a html email when i do this locally using mercury mail it works fine. Once i uploaded it and tried sending a email to gmail and yahoo it didn't work this is my php code <?php $from = $_REQUEST['from']; $to = $_REQUEST['to']; $bcc = $_REQUEST['bcc']; $subject = $_REQUEST['subject']; $message = $_REQUEST['msg']; // To send the HTML mail we need to set the Content-type header. $headers = 'From: ' . $from .

I have a page on my website that sends out a simple html email. This page worked a few days ago. Then last night when I was showing my client, it worked, but the email did not display properly (html code was visible in the email). Then today I can not get it to work at all. I have not changed my code, and I am using a script that I have used a lot of times. I'm not familiar with all the php settings on a server. I assume that one of these settings below are conflicting with each other. mail.add_x_header -- on mail.force_extra_parameters -- no value mail.log -- no value sendmail_from -- no value sendmail_path -- /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i MAILTO -- root Also I had a similar problem a week ago. The email was not being sent out, then I played around with it, but did not actually change anything and it started to work again.

Hi PHP Freaks, I have written a php email form and then this code behind it. When I run it comes up with the error page however all inputs are filled in and valid.

Hi PHP Freaks, I am currently having trouble with my mailing script. When I load it in the browser it comes up with the following error: 500 Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@domain-name.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. There is no errors in the error_log and in the email failure email sent to my webmaster email it says it contained no recipient address but I have set that in the code.

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Filename cannot be empty in /home/u418744221/public_html/B­ecome_a_Citizen/index.php on line 38 Line 38 is... chunk_split(base64_encode(fil­e_get_contents($file['tmp_name­']))), My second error is... Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in /home/u418744221/public_html/B­ecome_a_Citizen/index.php on line 43 line 43 is... mail($to, $subject, implode("\r\n", $message), implode("\r\n", $headers)); Really need this finished, ASAP. I can't figure it out, any help appreciated thanks ya'll.

Alright so I have use the PHP mail() function pretty extensively, however for my new site I will need to collect a filled fillable pdf file downloaded from my site, pull it from the files array, then send it to my e-mail so I can look at it later. I can do all of it except attach the .pdf file. How would I go about this? Please don't give me complete code because that is too easy. I wan't to figure it out myself but the tutorials simply don't explain what is happening.
