Edward Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Hi, I have a webpage which sends a 'short list' to people, showing them the names of the actors they have selected to receive. There is a choice of about 150 actors, and for each one there is a paragraph of html which gets added to the email if the corresponding actor is selected. If I test the page on my local server it works fine and I get the email, if I view it online on my site it says it works fine but I don't receieve the email. I know the mail function does work on the site because I've tested it so all I can think is that it's timing out?? Please can someone give me a way round this or see if it could be fixed any other way. For the purpose of this post I've removed the 150 actors from the code and replaced them with one made-up actor. <?php ob_start(); session_start(); if (isset($_POST['submit_send_short_list'])) { if (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) { $email_content = stripslashes($_POST['email_content']); // remove slashes } else { $email_content = $_POST['email_content']; // remove slashes } $subject = 'A Short List from site.co.uk'; $body = "<html><head><style> body { background: black; } p, div, ul, li, .white12 { color: #FFFFFF; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: normal; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; border: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; } a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active { color: #627572; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; border: 0px; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; } </style> </head> <body> <table width=\"100%\" height=\"\" align=\"center\" valign=\"top\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"> <tr> <td width=\"10\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"></td> <td width=\"800\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" colspan=\"3\"> <p> <p><img src=\"http://www.site.co.uk/logo.gif\" width=\"99\" height=\"99\" alt=\"Site\" border=\"0\" /></p> The following short list of actors has been sent to you by someone browsing site.co.uk</p> </td> <td width=\"10\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\"></td> </tr> ".$email_content." </table> </body> </html>"; $fromname = "My Site"; // site owner $fromemail = "[email protected]"; // site owner $headers = "From: $fromname <$fromemail>\r\n"; // $headers .= "Reply-To: $fromname <$fromemail>\r\n"; // 2 $headers .= "Return-Path: $fromname <$fromemail>\r\n"; // 3 $headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n"; // 4 $headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"; // 5 $headers .= "X-Priority: 3\r\n"; // 4th: 1 or 3? $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: Normal\r\n"; // 5th: Normal or High? $headers .= "X-Mailer: php\r\n"; if (mail($_POST['recipient'], $subject, $body, $headers)) { echo '<p>Thank you, your short list has been sent!</p>'; } } else { echo '<p>Short List:</p>'; if ($_GET['short_list_actor_london_john_smith'] == 'TRUE') { $_SESSION['short_list_actor_london_john_smith'] = 'TRUE'; } else if ($_GET['short_list_actor_london_john_smith'] == 'FALSE') { $_SESSION['short_list_actor_london_john_smith'] = 'FALSE'; } if ($_SESSION['short_list_actor_london_john_smith'] == 'TRUE') { echo '<p>John Smith (<a href="page_02_search_left.php?short_list_actor_london_john_smith=FALSE">remove</a>)<br /> Accent: London<br />'; $email_content .= '<tr><td width="10" align="left" valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"></td><td width="120" height="170" align="center" valign="middle" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><a href="http://www.site.co.uk/index2.php?page=02_search®ion=london&actor=john_smith&short_list_actor_london_john_smith=TRUE"><img src="http://www.site.co.uk/page_02_search_actors/london/john_smith_small.jpg" width="120" height="160" alt="" border="0" /></a></td><td width="10" align="left" valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"></td><td width="650" align="left" valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><p><a href="http://www.site.co.uk/index2.php?page=02_search®ion=london&actor=john_smith&short_list_actor_london_john_smith=TRUE">John Smith</a><br />London</p></td><td width="10" align="left" valign="top" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"></td></tr>'; } echo '<p><hr size="1" width="160" color="#ffffff" /></p>'; $email_content = htmlentities($email_content, ENT_QUOTES); // remove slashes echo '<form action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'" method="post">'; echo '<p>'; echo '<input type="text" name="recipient" value="'.$_POST['recipient'].'" size="20" maxlength="100" /><br />'; echo '<input type="hidden" name="email_content" value="'.$email_content.'" />'; echo '<input type="submit" name="submit_send_short_list" value="e-mail short list" />'; echo '</p>'; echo '</form>'; } ob_end_flush(); ?> Help would be greatly appreciated!

clanstyles Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Ive had this problem also. What fixed it for me was that I had it split up into parts. It would send a batch of like 50 then 50 then 50 not all 500 at once.

Edward Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 I'm not sure if that can help me, I'm only sending the email to one person (the email address entered in the form)?
