hi, I'm trying to to solve problme with email conformation, they are two php files. The first file 'first.php' it come with registration forms and send data to mysql with conformatin number.

 

after that it will send email conformation to the person who sign up for activation that file is "process.php"

 

The first file to send data to mysql is works great.

 

I use this code from dreamweaver, as you can see it sending data to mysql

 

 

First.php

 

 

<?php require_once('../Connections/emailtest.php'); ?>

<?php

$confirm_code=md5(uniqid(rand())); 
// values sent from form 
$name=$_POST['name'];
$email=$_POST['email'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$country=$_POST['country'];
function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") 
{
  $theValue = (!get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? addslashes($theValue) : $theValue;

  switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;    
    case "long":
    case "int":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
      break;
    case "double":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . doubleval($theValue) . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "date":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL";
      break;
    case "defined":
      $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
      break;
  }
  return $theValue;
}

$editFormAction = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $editFormAction .= "?" . htmlentities($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
}

if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
  $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO temp_members_db (confirm_code, name, email, password, country) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s)",
                       
				   GetSQLValueString("$confirm_code", "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString("$name", "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString("$email", "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString("$password", "text"),
                       GetSQLValueString("$country", "text"));

  mysql_select_db($database_emailtest, $emailtest);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $emailtest) or die(mysql_error());

  $insertGoTo = "process.php";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

  }
  
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}
?>

 

and then in process.php showing .... please see part where it said "$mail->AddAddress($_POST['email'];

 

<?php
require("PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php");
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "smtp.comcast.net"; // SMTP server
$mail->From = "root@root.com";
$mail->AddAddress($_POST['email'];
$mail->Subject = "your conformation";
$mail->Body="Your Comfirmation link \r\n";
$mail->Body="Click on this link to activate your account \r\n";
$mail->Body="http://localhost/ourdeafworld/EmailTest/confirmation.php?passkey=$confirm_code";
$mail->WordWrap = 50;



if(!$mail->Send())
{
   echo 'Message was not sent.';
   echo 'Mailer error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
}
else
{
   echo 'Message has been sent.';
}
?>

Some hosts require that the 'from' address be a real address. I'm guessing root@root.com isn't real, which could be your problem.
