My developer has given me a class file (attached) to handle sending email, however sending email from within the app does not work (the developer is not available at the moment). My website host has said they support PEAR for sending email, and have provided the following code. which I have tested and it works (with the necessary variable values being defined before of course). $headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject); $smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array ('host' => $host, 'auth' => true, 'username' => $username, 'password' => $password)); $mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body); if (PEAR::isError($mail)) { echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>"); } else { echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>"); } For the test email script that works with the above, there is a require_once to "Mail.php" and include_path=".;..\Pear" in a .user.ini file. The test email script is in the root of the website and so is the PEAR folder. I need help changing the cls.SendEmail.php file so that the app can send email. Thanks for the assistance. cls.SendEmail.php

Hi Guys, I just write the code in php but mail function is not working rest everything is working fine.. i tried other script but that also not working.. Than i came to know that my hosting server only use SMTP.. So i need help to do that.. Code Below <?php class patient_mail { function mail_send($c) { global $db; $db->fun_db(); global $img_obj; $img=array(); $time=time(); $to = 'team@concepteurs.co.in'; $fromEmail = $_REQUEST['email']; $fromName = $_REQUEST['comment_name']; $subject = $_REQUEST['contactno']; $message = $_REQUEST['comment']; $message1 = $_REQUEST['comment']; //$message.="You have receive An request from $c Page From the user/Patient $fromName"; //var_dump($_FILES); $headers = "From: $fromName"; /* GET File Variables */ if($_FILES['report']['name'][0]!=''){ foreach( $_FILES['report']['name']as $k=>$value) { $time++; $tmpName = $_FILES['report']['tmp_name'][$k]; $fileType = $_FILES['report']['type'][$k]; /* Start of headers */ $filename = stripslashes($_FILES['report']['name'][$k]); $ext = explode(".",$value); $extension = strtolower(end($ext)); $tempname = $_FILES['report']['tmp_name'][$k]; $userimg = "mail_".$time.".".$extension; $folder = "../images/mail/"; $img[]=$userimg; $newwidth = ""; $newheight = "154"; if($ext!='exe'){ move_uploaded_file($tempname,$folder.$userimg); } if (file($tmpName)) { /* Reading file ('rb' = read binary) */ $file = fopen($tmpName,'rb'); $data = fread($file,filesize($tmpName)); fclose($file); } $randomVal = md5(time()); $mimeBoundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$randomVal}x"; /* Header for File Attachment */ $headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n"; $headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" ; $headers .= " boundary=\"{$mimeBoundary}\""; /* Multipart Boundary above message */ $message = "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .

Hi- I've got a few simple forms on my site that get relayed over to our email server when the submit button is hit. The forms, in turn, get emailed to the predetermined recipients from that mail server. It's been working great for years, but we changed our mail server recently and didn't point the php.ini config to the new server and we've missed some form submissions for a few days (I know, I know). Looking at the PHP error log, I've got about 140 "PHP Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: SMTP server response: 530 5.7.1 Client was not authenticated in " entries, which tells me we missed 140 form submissions. My question is: is there any way to retrieve these form submissions? Are they sitting someplace on my site that I can extract them from? Do they literally just disappear if they can't get to the SMTP server? Many thanks in advance for any responses!

Hi all, Can I know how can use SMTP configuration to send a mail in PHP , I tried using mail() class by changing php_ini configuration, but didn't work , I also tried installing php_smtp.dll file, still I get the same error as shown below : Warning: mail() [<a href='function.mail'>function.mail</a>]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 465, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() can I know how to resolve this issue, i even tried with port "25", all my changes gave me the same error. If anyone could share the working code , it would be of great help.. Thank you in advance...

I am seeking for advise on setting up the SMTP for my websites. I have two servers. One is mail server and another one is web server. I have more than one website in the web server. All email accounts are stored in the mail server. On my website, I have many enquiry forms. Some on the same domain some on different, but same server. These forms will send an email to the site owner once user submit the form. My questions: 1) Should I configure my script to use the mail server as a relay to send out email via SMTP? Because as I know, if I use the sendmail program in the web server, email that goes out will categorized as spam. 2) If Q1) is YES, should I create one account for each domain? Because I have multiple domain hosted on both server. So each website will use the assigned account to relay email. 3) Is it possible to configure my mail server to whiltelist my webserver so that it allowed it to connect via SMTP without authentication and allowed to set the sender's email differently? If possible, which setting I should look into? EG: SPF. This is a conceptual question. So no hardware or software restriction. I just need some guide on where I should look into it. Thank you for reading!

Hi, I managed to set up a simple smtp with sendmail and gmail in the PHP mail function. The thing is, is it possible to change the "from" email address to a different one, than the gmail account I'm using? No matter which $from I assign, the from address is always my gmail account, which I am using to send mails. Thanks

I send EHLO command to gmail stmp. if response was success, it will send code 250. I try to catch the response code of gmail smtp. when my code like this $fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15); if(empty($fp)){ echo $errNo.":".$errStr; }else{ fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n"); $rp = get_lines($fp); $code = substr($rp,0,3); echo $code; fclose($fp); } function get_lines($fp){ while($str = fgets($fp)){ return $str; } } why it always produce code 220 ? but when I append the php code with echo fgets($fp); like this $fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15); if(empty($fp)){ echo $errNo.":".$errStr; }else{ echo fgets($fp); //additional code fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n"); $rp = get_lines($fp); $code = substr($rp,0,3); echo $code; fclose($fp); } function get_lines($fp){ while($str = fgets($fp)){ return $str; } } the output like this: 220 mx.google.com ESMTP vu10sm20075869pbc.27 - gsmtp <<don't need this 250 code 250 has caught. but how to produce code 250 without additional command like echo fgets($fp); ?

how do send html format with gmail smtp ? I just know some commands of smtp gmail to manage email they are MAIL FROM and RCPT TO. does it can be combined with mail($to, $sbj, $msg, $hdrs) ?

When I try send email with PHPMailer_v5.1, it works. But when I try make it self, I know that the result is possible to error or email not sent. My problem is the email not sent. this my code: <?php $fp = fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", 465, $errNo, $errStr, 15); if(!$fp){ echo "not connected"; }else{ fputs($fp, "EHLO"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "AUTH LOGIN"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, base64_encode("author@gmail.com")."\r\n"); fputs($fp, base64_encode("password")."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "MAIL FROM:<author@gmail.com>"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "RCPT TO:<target@gmail.com>"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "DATA"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "Subject: This is subject"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "This is body message"."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "."."\r\n"); fputs($fp, "QUIT"."\r\n"); fclose($fp); } ?> And I have enable extension=php_openssl.dll in php.ini

Hello, I am using the latest version of PHPMailer to try and send mails. The SMTP server is configured to use the Gmail SMTP. Now the problem is that when I am sending mails to a person with a Gmail account there seems to be no problem but when I am sending my mail to someone with a non Gmail account for example Yahoo. The mail never reaches(I have checked the SPAM folder). My PHP Mailer setup is as follows-: <?php require_once('mailer/class.phpmailer.php');//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded $mail = new PHPMailer(); $body = "<html><head></head><body><strong>This is a System generated message. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MAIL.</strong><br />Click on the following link to activate your account-:<br /><a href='http://www.google.co.in'>Click Here !! </a><br />END OF MESSAGE.</body></html>"; $body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body); $mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // SMTP server$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing) // 1 = errors and messages // 2 = messages only$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication $mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // sets the prefix to the servier$mail->Host = "smtp.gmail.com"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server$mail->Port = 587; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server $mail->Username = "foobar@gmail.com"; // GMAIL username $mail->Password = "foobar"; // GMAIL password $mail->SetFrom("foobar@gmail.com", "foo"); $mail->AddReplyTo("foobar@gmail.com", "foo"); $mail->Subject = "foo bar"; $mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test $mail->MsgHTML($body); $address = $_GET['email']; $mail->AddAddress($address); if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;} else { } ?> <html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><title>domail</title></head> < body></body></html> My Questions are as follows-: Do I have to reconfigure my SMTP every time I send my mail to a different account ? For example if I have to send it to a Yahoo account do I have to use the Yahoo SMTP or when I send my mail to a Rediff account do I have to use the Rediff SMTP ??PHPMailer doesn't report any errors, it just says that it sent the message but the message never arrives. Can't I just use one SMTP and send mails to any account ? I am using WAMP server on my PC to run my Apache Web Server. Will this create problems in sending mails even if PHPMailer is configured correctly ? Is it necessary to add a name with the receiver address in the line-: $mail->AddAddress($address); Do I have to write it like this $mail->AddAddress($address,"Receiver Name"); Since my mail will be sent to anyone signing up specifying the correct receiver name every time will be a little difficult to do. I am getting an error on the line-: $body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body); The problem is that the function eregi_replace() has become deprecated. According to the php.net documentation I have to use preg_replace() with the " i " switch. But since I am beginner to PHP and regular expression I can't figure out how to do that. Can someone give the code which accomplishes the same task as the line above using preg_replace. Thank You.

Hey. I'm having some troubles with a php script I got a while ago for form to email on a website i'm currently working on. The client has recently switched to a different hosting server and they require SMTP authentication for the new cloudsites....I have about 5 different pretty detailed forms that i need to have the SMTP authentications placed into, but i have no idea what i'm doing. below is my current coding. i'm just not sure how to place the SMTP into the coding correctly. i've seen that i need to download swift or pear and i have no clue where to start. any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...thanks. the current PHP script for my form to email: <?php $my_email = "studio@roharikproductions.com"; /* Enter the continue link to offer the user after the form is sent.

I'm having an issue using fsockopen to connect to smtp.gmail.com in which I always receive the error "Failed to connect to server: Connection timed out". The issue seems very similar to an old bug fixed in late 2010: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=50953 I'm using the following script to test: // connect to the smtp server $smtp_conn = @fsockopen("ssl://smtp.gmail.com", // the host of the server 465, // the port to use: 25, 465, 587 $errno, // error number if any $errstr, // error message if any 5); // give up after ? secs // verify we connected properly if(empty($smtp_conn)) { $error = array("error" => "Failed to connect to server", "errno" => $errno, "errstr" => $errstr); echo "SMTP -> ERROR: " . $error["error"] . ": $errstr ($errno)\n"; } else { fclose($smtp_conn); echo "Connected!\n"; } Replacing the host argument with tsl://smtp.gmail.com or simply smtp.gmail.com and any combination of ports 25, 465, 587 also fails. Yet other smtps connect fine (e.g. smtp.live.com:587, smtp.mail.yahoo.com:465). A firewall or other blocking is not the issue. This is on a VPS with the firewall disabled and, furthermore, I can successfully connect to smtp.gmail.com (and send an email) via openssl s_client. So basic access to the server/port is not the prob. Is there any possibility this old bug (id=50953) is still lingering around in a fairly recent 5.3 version of PHP? Or any suggestions on other possible causes? I am using 5.3.17-1~dotdeb.0 and same code works fine on a different VPS with PHP 5.2.17-1.
