Mime Mailer

[Claude 🤖]

Hi, I have got this script that used to work, but no longer does  ???

 

<?php
$to  = '[email protected]' . ', '; /
$to .= '[email protected]';

$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';

$message = '
HTML here';

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

I am not sure what I did to it.

Also how do I include a predefined template into the html? I need to send out a newsletter to staff with a standard design, just the content will change. Any help with that would be greatly appreciated.

What seems to be the problem? Are you getting PHP errors or does it simply not send the mail?

 

As for the template thing, you could have a normal HTML file with a unique string like

 

<!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->

 

where you want the content to be, and then use something like

 

$message = file_get_contents("template_file.html");

$message = str_replace("<!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->", $message, $template);

 

to insert the content.

Sorry, I have half fixed this.

 

<?php
$to  = '[email protected]' . ', '; 
$to  = '[email protected]';

$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';

$message = '
HTML here';

$headers  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

// Additional headers
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: [email protected]' . "\r\n";

// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>

 

It will send to one address now, but not to multiple addresses. If I put more that one address it gives no error, it just does not send. I have also checked the spam q.

 

Also could you give me a clear example about what you said " <!-- CONTENT GOES HERE -->" stuff.

 

Lets say I want to send this mail.

<style type="text/css">

You need it to say something like this on the mail function line:

@mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
