Simple and working smtp emailer...need to echo if success or not, help

[nightkarnation]

Hey Guys...

I have the following easy and simple script to send valid SMTP emails from php, working perfectly:

 

include('SMTPconfig.php');
include('SMTPclass.php');
$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['sub'];
$body = $_POST['message'];
$SMTPMail = new SMTPClient ($SmtpServer, $SmtpPort, $SmtpUser, $SmtpPass, $from, $to, $subject, $body);
$SMTPChat = $SMTPMail->SendMail();
}

//but, below is the idea of what I need...to echo the result of the sent email...this is obviously not working, it says always success...how would I go to check this correctly??		
if (SendMail)
{
echo "success";
}
else
{
echo "error";
}

 

Here's the SMTPclass.php for reference (if needed):

 

class SMTPClient
{

function SMTPClient ($SmtpServer, $SmtpPort, $SmtpUser, $SmtpPass, $from, $to, $subject, $body)
{

$this->SmtpServer = $SmtpServer;
$this->SmtpUser = base64_encode ($SmtpUser);
$this->SmtpPass = base64_encode ($SmtpPass);
$this->from = $from;
$this->to = $to;
$this->subject = $subject;
$this->body = $body;

if ($SmtpPort == "") 
{
$this->PortSMTP = 25;
}

else

{
$this->PortSMTP = $SmtpPort;
}
}

function SendMail ()
{
if ($SMTPIN = fsockopen ($this->SmtpServer, $this->PortSMTP)) 
{
fputs ($SMTPIN, "EHLO ".$HTTP_HOST."\r\n"); 
$talk["hello"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 ); 
fputs($SMTPIN, "auth login\r\n");
$talk["res"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);
fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpUser."\r\n");
$talk["user"]=fgets($SMTPIN,1024);
fputs($SMTPIN, $this->SmtpPass."\r\n");
$talk["pass"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);
fputs ($SMTPIN, "MAIL FROM: <".$this->from.">\r\n"); 
$talk["From"] = fgets ( $SMTPIN, 1024 ); 
fputs ($SMTPIN, "RCPT TO: <".$this->to.">\r\n"); 
$talk["To"] = fgets ($SMTPIN, 1024); 
fputs($SMTPIN, "DATA\r\n");
$talk["data"]=fgets( $SMTPIN,1024 );
fputs($SMTPIN, "To: <".$this->to.">\r\nFrom: <".$this->from.">\r\nSubject:".$this->subject."\r\n\r\n\r\n".$this->body."\r\n.\r\n");
$talk["send"]=fgets($SMTPIN,256);
//CLOSE CONNECTION AND EXIT ... 
fputs ($SMTPIN, "QUIT\r\n"); 
fclose($SMTPIN); 

// 

} 
return $talk;
} 
}

 

Thanks a lot in advance for the help!

Cheers!!

$SMTPChat = $SMTPMail->SendMail();

Do whatever based on the value of $SMTPChat.

Hello requinix, thanks for your reply!

 

I tried with $SMTPChat and I get always the same value "Array"

 

echo $SMTPChat; // = "Array"

 

Any other suggestions? Thanks a lot!!!

[requinix]

The only mechanism available to you is whether $SMTPChat is an array (success) or null (failure), and all that indicates is whether the code could connect to the SMTP server. It has nothing which can tell you whether it actually sent the mail (mostly because the code doesn't even check that).

Ok I understand, thanks a lot for your help!

Do you think it would be difficult to add this kind of check?

To be honest...I have no idea how to implement it.

[requinix]

I don't remember enough of SMTP but it would be somewhat easy. You can check the response from the server for each of the commands and look for specific good and specific bad messages.

How would I do that?  :-\

 

Thanks again!!
