Send Email

[kjanceski]

I have php script and I want to send Email but seems that the script doesn't work. I don't know where is the problem if you know please help.

Here is the code:

 

<?php
$conn=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("forum",$conn);
$user=$_POST['user'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$mail=$_POST['mail'];
$cry=crypt($password);
$sqlQuery="INSERT INTO user (user,password,mail,register) VALUES ('$user','$cry','$mail',0)";
mysql_query( $sqlQuery);
mail($mail,"Ebi se","Koj te ebat");
?>

you could do with an container for teh query resource id ($var=mysql_query($sqlQuery) but I don't think that is a problem...

 

where is the script running? is it local or on a server? if its local makes ure you have SMTP (in your php.ini file) set to your isp's mail server NOT localhost (unless you have a mail server on your machine that is).

Please include information regarding whether you get any errors or not, so we don't have to execute the script ourselves

 

So if you get any errors please let us know and if you don't try this:

 

$sendmail = mail($to,$subject,$message);

if($sendmail) {
  echo "Mail sent succesfully!";
}
else {
  echo "Mail _not_ sent...";
}

 

It will let you check whether the mail was actually sent or if some error occurred....

The script is on server not on local machine. There is no error code after execution. I'll try the error code you sent.

[Wuhtzu]

Well it won't give you any error it will just return a success message on success and a failure message on failure. But if you get to see "Mail _not_ sent..." you know it is the mail() part of your script that doesn't work.

I entered the error code check and the message was "Mail sent succesfully!".

Where is the mail being sent? If it's to a Yahoo, AOL, or Hotmail address many people have reported problems with those services receiving PHP generated email messages.

 

You really should include a "From:" header in the 4th parameter to the mail() function:

<?php
$conn=mysql_connect("localhost","root","");
mysql_select_db("forum",$conn);
$user=$_POST['user'];
$password=$_POST['password'];
$mail=$_POST['mail'];
$from = "From: youremail@address.com.here\r\n";
$cry=crypt($password);
$sqlQuery="INSERT INTO user (user,password,mail,register) VALUES ('$user','$cry','$mail',0)";
mysql_query( $sqlQuery);
mail($mail,"Ebi se","Koj te ebat",$from);
?>

Yes the mail i'm sending to is on yahoo. I've tried to gmail too. Also i've add $from but still no result  ???

Have you looked in the SPAM mailboxes to see if the mail is being trapped?
