Hi,

A html form that I have made connects to a php file that contains code to send an acknowledgement email.

For some reason the code at the end of the file sends the same email twice to the recipient.

Anyone spot my (likely very obvious) error(s) anywhere? 

<?php

  //phpmailer  
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($result)) {
  //connect to phpmailer
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
  //set email
$mail = new PHPMailer(true);
$mail->IsSMTP();


try {	
$mail->SMTPDebug  = 1;  
$mail->SMTPAuth   = TRUE;
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls";
$mail->Port       = 342;
$mail->Host       = "smtp.******.com";
$mail->Username   = "noreply@*******.com";
$mail->Password   = "$new_str2";
  $mail->AddReplyTo('noreply@*******.com', 'Your Name'); // 

  $mail->AddAddress($row["referrer"], 'your Name'); // 

  $mail->SetFrom('noreply@*******.com', 'Your Name'); // 

  $mail->Subject = 'Subject'; 

  $mail->AltBody = 'sorry, this app cannot show mail... please use another app to open this mail ! '; 

  $mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8'; 

  $mail->ContentType = 'text/html'; // set html mode  

  $mail->MsgHTML('

  <html>
            <body>

            To the referrer, <br><br>

            You have a new update for your patient.<br><br>

            Please check on the e-Referral system.

            Yours sincerely, <br><br>

            We kindly ask that you do not disclose, copy or distribute information in this e-mail; as to do so is not advised and may be unlawful. <br><br>

            Your assistance is deeply appreciated. </small>


            </body>
        </html>


  '); // html message
  //$mail->AddAttachment('images/phpmailer.gif'); // 
  $mail->Send(); // send
  echo "<center>Senior plan submitted successfully to the matching patient details. <br><br> Please be aware that only a single senior plan can be submitted per e-referral. <br> <br> Any further updates will overwrite the previous submission. <br> <br> It is advised to check the patient case to ensure the update has been made.";
} 
catch (phpmailerException $e) {
	echo $e->errorMessage(); //  phpmailer error code. do not change it
} 
catch (Exception $e) {
	echo $e->getMessage(); //  phpmailer error code. do not change it
} 
  
  ?>

 

My appreciation in advance,

Samanj

I can't be definite because there does not not appear to be an end } to your while loop, but could it be because you are sending the mail inside a loop?

I'm guessing, therefore, that isn't your actual code, so not much we can do.

Hi,

So the full code is below:

  

<html>
<head>
<style>
    * {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: medium;
        font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        color: black;
        margin: 1em;
        /*
        set font
        */
    }
</style>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#B2D3C2">

  <br>

<a href="homepage.html">Return to Home screen</a><br>
  <p><span id="datetime"></span></p>

  <script>
    var dt = new Date();
    document.getElementById("datetime").innerHTML = dt.toLocaleString();
  </script>
</center>
</body>
</html>

<!--end of html code-->


<?php
// get values form input text and number
$password = $_POST['password'];
$snnumber = $_POST['snnumber'];
$PIN = $_POST['PIN'];
$comments = $_POST['comments'];
$seniorsent = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");


//----------------start main code----------------------

if(isset($_POST['update']))
{
$lines_array = file("file.txt");
$search_string = "username";

foreach($lines_array as $line) {
    if(strpos($line, $search_string) !== false) {
        list(, $new_str) = explode(":", $line);
        
        $new_str = trim($new_str);
    }
}

if(isset($_POST['update']))
{
$lines_array = file("file2.txt");
$search_string = "pw";

foreach($lines_array as $line) {
    if(strpos($line, $search_string) !== false) {
        list(, $new_str2) = explode(":", $line);
        
        $new_str2 = trim($new_str2);
    }
}

   $hostname = "localhost";
   $username = "$new_str";
   $password = "$password";
   $databaseName = "referral";
   
   $connect = mysqli_connect($hostname, $username, $password, $databaseName);
    //query2 update info in data-base
    $query2 = "UPDATE card SET comments = '$comments' , seniorsent = '$seniorsent' WHERE snnumber = '$snnumber' and PIN = '$PIN'";

    //query get the email info from data-base
    $query  = "SELECT PIN, referrer FROM card WHERE PIN='$PIN' AND snnumber='$snnumber'";
    $result = mysqli_query($connect, $query);
    //end of query codes
    
  //phpmailer  
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array ($result)) {
  //connect to phpmailer
require_once('PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
  //set email

?>

 

Hopefully that helps.

I'm thinking either (a) the while loop Barand pointed out is returning more rows than expected or (b) the PHP script is executing twice.

Both should be pretty easy to test.

Unfortunately (for you) both those are things you will have to check for yourself.

This thread is more than a year old. Please don't revive it unless you have something important to add.
