aebstract Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Here is my mail script, runs on a cron job once a week. <?php set_time_limit(0); mysql_connect("localhost","***","***") or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db("**_*_*"); $i = 1; while ($i != 0){ $myquery = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mailer ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1") or DIE(mysql_error()); while($r=mysql_fetch_array($myquery)) { $id=$r["id"]; $flyer=$r["flyer"]; $date=$r["date"]; $used=$r["used"]; } if ($used == 0) { $i = 0; mysql_query("UPDATE mailer SET used='1' WHERE id=$id LIMIT 1") or DIE(mysql_error()); } } include "../eq$flyer.php"; $content = str_replace('class="contacttd"', 'bgcolor="c0c0c0" cellpadding="5"', $content); $content = str_replace('class="contacttd2"', 'bgcolor="dddddd" cellpadding="5"', $content); $content = str_replace('<h2>', '<h2 style=italic .5em Georgia, Times, serif;>', $content); $message = "<html><head></head><body>$content</body></html>"; $fromaddress = '[email protected]'; $emailsubject = 'Berry Plumbing & Equipment - Product Information'; $emails = array("lots of emails"); $emailaddress = array_unique($emails); $i = count($emailaddress); $z = 0; if ($i != 0){ while ($i != $z){ mail($emailaddress[$z], $emailsubject, $message, "From: " .$fromaddress. "\nX-Mailer: PHP 4.x"); $z++; } } ?> Problem is, this is the email that I received: <html><head></head><body></body></html> I thought it was all correct so that it would put the content in to the email but I must have messed something up.

aebstract Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'm not sure if this is what's causing it, but try putting quotes around the style: <h2 style="italic .5em Georgia, Times, serif;"> Even if the style wasn't right, it would still display the text/information without styling. try changing $content = to $content .= for the second two values... I'm running a str_replace on my entire $content variable and replacing parts of it, not adding to it so the .= would have no working effect towards fixing the problem. That leaves us with thorpe, I tossed your code in and it works Thanks a bunch man. edit: did they remove the topic solved feature?!
