synking Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 hey i am having an issue sending email from mail() $to = $_POST['carrier']; $to .= '[email protected]'; $subject = 'Access Numbers Down'; $message = wordwrap($_POST['number'], 70); $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\r\n" ; $headers .= 'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\r\n" ; $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' .phpversion(); $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); if($sent) { echo 'message was sent'; } else { echo 'message not sent'; } the code comes from this form. <form method="POST" id="access_number_issue" action="#" name="reporting_access" target="_SELF"> <table> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="Number">Number to report:</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><input type="text" name="number" id="number" tabindex="1" size="20" maxlength="30"> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="carrier">Carrier</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><Select name="carrier" id="change" tabindex="2"> <option value="[email protected]">test</option> <?php foreach ($carrierchange as $key => $value) { echo ("<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"); } ?> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="test account">Test Account</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><select name="account" id="change" tabindex="3" size="1"> <?php foreach ($testaccount as $key => $value) { echo ("<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"); } ?> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="search" class="button" tabindex="4"></td> <td colspan="2"><input type="reset" value="reset" name="reset" class="button" tabindex="5"></td> </tr> </table> It did work at one time but sent only a blank email now it does not send at all.

synking Posted October 22, 2009 Author Share Posted October 22, 2009 Actually i found that if i don't not send the message from the post it works fine but if i try to pass post data it does not send. even if i create a variable that contains the post data it will not send but if i change the variable to anything else it will work. any ideas.

synking Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Ok i am still having issues with this. here is the entire page as it stands now. <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); echo '<pre>'; print_r($_POST); echo '</pre>'; $carrierchange = array ( '[email protected]' => "Cisp", '[email protected]' => "Cogent", '[email protected]' => "PNG", ); $carrierchange = str_replace(" ", "", $carrierchange); $testaccount = array ( '[email protected]' => "Cisp Test", '[email protected]' => "test1", '[email protected]' => "testconnect", ); $testaccount = str_replace(" ", "", $testaccount); $to = $_POST['carrier']; $to .= '[email protected]'; $subject = 'Access Numbers Down'; $mess = $_POST['number']; $mess = str_replace (" ","\r\n", $mess); $message = wordwrap($mess, 70); $headers = 'From: [email protected]' . "\n" ; $headers .= 'Reply-To: [email protected]' . "\n" ; $headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' .phpversion(); $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); echo ($sent); ?> <html> <head><title></title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" id="access_number_issue" action="#" name="reporting_access" target="_SELF"> <table> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="Number">Number to report:</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><input type="text" name="number" id="number" tabindex="1" size="60" maxlength="60"> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="carrier">Carrier</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><Select name="carrier" id="change" tabindex="2"> <option value="[email protected]">test</option> <?php foreach ($carrierchange as $key => $value) { echo ("<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"); } ?> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="labelcell"><label for="test account">Test Account</label></td> <td colspan="2" class="fieldcell"><select name="account" id="change" tabindex="3" size="1"> <?php foreach ($testaccount as $key => $value) { echo ("<option value=\"$key\">$value</option>\n"); } ?> </select></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><input type="submit" value="Submit" name="search" class="button" tabindex="4"></td> <td colspan="2"><input type="reset" value="reset" name="reset" class="button" tabindex="5"></td> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> If i go to the page fresh the first time it will send a blank email. If i attempt to fill out the form nothing is sent. The php script does not send it is not an issue with it being rejected the form will not send. I don't know why it will not send i do not get an error from php.

synking Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 i figured it out the script was failing because of the multiple to fields. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/178629-solved-php-mail-not-sending/#findComment-942861 Share on other sites More sharing options...
