lukeawade Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I have a registration page that inserts information to my database and I'm trying to send an email with some additional information to the person who registered but I cant figure it out. Here is what I have. Not sure where to add the email code. <?php require_once('Connections/connRegistration.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "'" . $theValue . "'" : "NULL"; break; case "long": case "int": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL"; break; case "double": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ?

premiso Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 What type of email address are you sending it? If it is Yahoo, AOL, or Hotmail, they tend to not accept emails from a lot of php scripts without valid headers, or where servers who do not ping back that they have a mail server on them...

lukeawade Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I figured out this works. <?php $email = $_POST['email']; $fname = $_POST['first_name']; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n"; mail("$email",'MySmartPlans Registration', "$fname, \n\nThank you for registering.", $headers);?> But the problem is sometimes I get like 5 or 6 of the same email in a row and the \n\n doesnt send the Thank You to another line. How do I make the HTML work? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/143666-send-an-email-action/#findComment-754886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeawade Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 I figured out why I am getting the same email a bunch of times. Its putting in my database more than once. Why is it doing that? Here is what I have? Also still need to know how to make HTML work like \n. <?php if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) { $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO dashboard_registration (reg_id, proj_id, first_name, last_name, company, address1, address2, city, `state`, zip, phone, cell_phone, fax, email, discipline, registration_date, ip, distribution_method) VALUES (%s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s, %s)", GetSQLValueString($_POST['reg_id'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['proj_id'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['first_name'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['last_name'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['company'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['address1'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['address2'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['city'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['state'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['zip'], "int"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['phone'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['cell_phone'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['fax'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['email'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['discipline'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['registration_date'], "date"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['ip'], "text"), GetSQLValueString($_POST['distribution_method'], "text")); $email = $_POST['email']; $fname = $_POST['first_name']; $serial = $_POST['cell_phone']; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' .
