A message that you sent contained no recipient addresses, and therefore no

delivery could be attempted.

------ This is a copy of your message, including all the headers. ------

To:

Subject: test

 

 

The user signs up and thier email_address & name get stored in the games_newsletter table.

 

here is the php code that sends the emails out.

 

 
<?
require_once("../conn.php");
require_once("../includes.php");
require_once("access.php");
require_once("AdminNavigation.php");
if(isset($_POST[s1]))
{
$q2 = "select * from games_newsletter ";
$r2 = mysql_query($q2) or die(mysql_error());
   
while($a2 = mysql_fetch_array($r2))
{
  $to = $a2[email];
  $subject = $_POST[sub];
  $message = $_POST[MyMessage];
  $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"; 
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
  $headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"; 
  $headers .= "From: $_SERVER[HTTP_HOST]$dir <$aset[ContactEmail]>\n"; 
  $headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; 
  $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n"; 
  $headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion()."\n"; 
  mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
  $i++;
}
$error = "$i messages was sent";
}
//get the number of registered for the newsletter
$q2 = "select count(*) from games_newsletter";
$r2 = mysql_query($q2) or die(mysql_error());
$a2 = mysql_fetch_array($r2);

if($a2[0] == 0)
{
echo "<br><br><center><span class=RedLink>There are no registered members, yet!</span></center>";
exit();
}
?>
<script>
function CheckMail() {
  if(document.f1.sub.value=="")
  {
   alert('Enter the newsletter subject line, please!');
   document.f1.sub.focus();
   return false;
  }
  if(document.f1.MyMessage.value=="")
  {
   alert('Enter the newsletter text, please!');
   document.f1.MyMessage.focus();
   return false;
  }
}
</script>
<center>
<span class=BlackLink>
  There are <?=$a2[0]?> newsletter subscribers.
</span>
</center>
<br>
<form method=post onsubmit="return CheckMail();" name=f1>
<table align=center width=500>
<tr>
<td></td>
<td><b>Newsletter</b><br><?=$error?></td>

?>
[/sub]

 

I have spent the whole day on this and it doesn't work. I have a members email and it sends out the emails no problem and from what I could see the only diffents in the two php files were the select from * tables and that is it.

 

thank you in advance

have you tried mysql_fetch_assoc instead of mysql_fetch_array?

I'm new to php and this is the first script I looked at and trying to get it to work. how would I go about doing this.

 

Thanks

Figured it out myself. all I did was change the email_address to email in the games_newsletter table and made a change to the subscription form and it all worked out. strange I have no programming or PHP experience but it goers to show sometimes just trying things can fix it.
