Sending email with php

[etiko123]

Hello, I am new to php and currently using the book creating interactive websites with php and webservices. The email class created is shown below:

 

<?php

class Email {

 

function SendMail(){

$Message = stripslashes($this->Message);

$Message = stripslashes($this->Message);

$headers .="From: ".$this->FromName.

"<".$this->FromMail.">\n";

$headers .="Reply-To: ".$this->FromName.

"<".$this->FromMail.">\n";

//$headers .="X-Priority: 1\n";

//$headers .="X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";

$headers .="X-Mailer: My PHP Mailer\n";

$headers .="Origin: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']."\n";

mail($this->ToMail, $this->Subject, $Message, $headers);

 

}

}

?>

 

 

The code below is from my php script:

 

$userid = mysql_insert_id();

$verify_url = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].

  "/join.php?req=verify&id=$userid&vcode=".

  md5($_POST['first_name']);

 

$mailer = &new Email;

//Email user

//$_POST['email_address']

$mailer->ToMail = $_POST['email_address'];

$mailer->FromMail = "admin@test.com";

$mailer->FromName = "My PHP Site Administrator";

$mailer->Subject  = "Your Membership at my PHP site";

$mailer->Message  = "Dear $_POST[first_name],\n".

"Thanks for joining our website! We".

"welcome you and look forward to".

"your participation.\n\n".

"Below you would find information".

"to login to our website!\n\n".

"First, you will need to verify".

"your email address".

"by clicking on this".

"hyperlink:\n$verify_url\nand ".

"following the directions in your ".

"web browser.\n\n".

"=============================\n".

"Username: $_POST[username]\n".

"Password: $_POST[password]\n".

"UserID: $userid\n".

"Email Address: ".

"$_POST[email_address]\n".

"=============================\n\n".

"Thank you,\n".

"My PHP Site Administrator\n".

"http://$_SERVER[sERVER_NAME]\n";

$mailer->SendMail();

Hi,

I'm not hot on php classes but have you missed out these lines from the Email class?:

var $From;
   var $FromName;
   var $ToMail;
   var $ToName;
   var $Subject;
   var $Message;

 

ie:

class Email {
   var $From;
   var $FromName;
   var $ToMail;
   var $ToName;
   var $Subject;
   var $Message;

  etc.

 

Also, I am not convinced that you want the ampersand (&) in this line:

$mailer = &new Email;

That should probably be this:

$mailer = new Email;

He may be referrencing, albeit incorrectly..

$mailer =& new Email;
