Can CDO mail be used with PHP?

vbcoach · March 26, 2010

My ISP / Webhost says mail can be sent from their server using CDO. However the code they gave me is written in ASP and I use PHP for our site.

Can CDO be used to send mail via PHP?

trq · March 27, 2010

Can CDO be used to send mail via PHP?

Yes, via com. Ive never heard of it being used though. If your host actually supports PHP they should have configured PHP's mail function to work. Sounds like your on windows hosting anyway, I would be very tempted to change hosts.

you *could* use gmail as your mailer for your php scripts (read how here)

Hey great example, atrum. Much appreciated.

However I probably should have been more clear. I have a registration form that a user fills out. When complete, this registration form is processed and the information is entered into the database and a "receipt" page is displayed with the users inputted information.

What I am looking for is a way to (also) send that information to the user email address via email using PHP. My hosting provider says this can be done with CDO. (The PHP mail() function is apparently disabled for security purposes) The hosting provider sent me an example, but their example is a vbscript. Not sure if that helps me in PHP. I need to basically take the whole web page and dump it into an email to the end user.

vbcoach · March 28, 2010

This is what the hosting service provided me as an example. I could use some help with this.

Dim objMail

Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

objMail.From = address_email

objMail.Subject = "xxx"

objMail.To = "[email protected]"

objMail.Body = msg

objMail.Send

set objMail = nothing

address_email is a variable from your form data, the person filling out the form. objMailTo would be you. It can even handle the additional objMail.Cc variable. You can google the code for further syntax.

Msg is a variable you create for format the email message you want to send IN the email. Here is an example.

Dim msg

msg = "THE FOLLOWING PERSON HAS REQUESTED TO BE ADDED TO YOUR MAILING LIST:" & chr(10) & chr(10)

msg = msg & "EMAIL: " & address_email & chr(10) & chr(10) & chr(10)

msg = msg & "--------------------------------" & chr(10)

msg = msg & "http://www.domain.com" & chr(10)

msg = msg & "--------------------------------" & chr(10)

trq · March 28, 2010

So what part of atrum's example can you not understand?

vbcoach · March 28, 2010

Don't understand any of it. The code antrum gave me doesn't work. I uploaded the code to my web site for a test and get an unexpected { error.

Also, antrum's code, from what I can gather is useful for a contact form. I do not see how I can take existing webpage and email it using what he wrote.

So until I can get the code to work and see exactly what it is doing, I am still at square one unfortunately.

trq · March 28, 2010

antrum's code has all the pieces you should need to get your requirement completed. Short of writing the page for you, I'm not sure what else we can do.

Do you want to post what you have and we'll go from here?

vbcoach · March 29, 2010

Ok, let me start over. Again, a registration page for a sports website (http://www.baltimorebeach.com/registration/teamregistration2010.php) is used for team captains to register their team. When complete, it goes to a processing page when the input is dumped into the database and a receipt page is displayed on the screen, which the captain is instructed to print out for his records as it contains all of his team's information, including his username and password to access the site (which of course the 'male' captains never do). We get dozens of emails a week asking for UN and PW requests because they were not sent a confirmation email. Duh. We haven't created one. yes I could create a reset password page, but it would be so much easier just to send the team captains a copy of their information via when registering.

My hope is to take this "information" page and send it to the team captain via the email address he entered for the captain. My code is this:

<?php

if($_POST)
{
  foreach ($_POST as $k=>$v)
{
   $t = stripslashes($v);
   $t = str_replace("'",'′',$t);
   $vals[$k] = $t;
}
  //Connect to Database
  $conn = mssql_connect ("localhost", "********", "********") or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ');
mssql_select_db("baltimorebeach");

$teamname = "SELECT t_id FROM team WHERE league = '$vals[league]' AND teamname='$vals[teamname]'";
$tres = mssql_query($teamname);
if(mssql_rows_affected($conn) != 0)
{
  $lsql = "SELECT * FROM league WHERE active = 1 AND [session] = 'Spring' ORDER BY l_id";
$lres = mssql_query($lsql,$conn);
?>

Please keep in mind that I am not an experienced PHP programmer. I inherited this already-existing project. Thanks in advance for any assistance. My only option for sending email via the hosting provider is using CDONTS (CDO)

MatthewJ · March 29, 2010

You don't need to send the "whole page", only the data that is important to them. So using the example you were provided, instead of displaying their entered data, wrap it up in an email and send it off just like you would a contact form.

vbcoach · March 30, 2010

Matthew, that's the problem. I do not know how to do that with CDONTS! No idea whatsoever. That is why I am here. Really needing some assistance here.

vbcoach · March 31, 2010

Hello?

Anyone?

Buehler?

trq · March 31, 2010

Matthew, that's the problem. I do not know how to do that with CDONTS! No idea whatsoever.

The formatting of the email has nothing to do with cdonts. Then there was a perfectly good example of how to send mail with cdonts posted by atrum. maybe you should at least make an attempt.

vbcoach · April 5, 2010

I have spent nearly a week "trying" this code of Antrum's. Once again it still does not work. If it worked, then I might be able to adapt it to my needs. However I do not understand either CDONTS or Antrum's code or what is wrong. There is an error in the "try" statement.

Hi this example is great I found it worked fine for me, I trawled through pages and pages looking for an example of cdosys used with php this was the only one i could find the rest were all asp. So thanks so much for posting it, any way my question is how would i validate to make sure user fills in all fields, ive tryed a javascript example but couldnt make it work and ive a feeling it because of the way in which we are using cdosys. forgive my ignorance i am a first year degree student so i am fairly new to this but keen to learn, your help would be greatly appreciated
