sayedsohail Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi everyone, I am developing an application using php on windows xp machine, which connects to my email hosting company using broadband with outlook express uploads downoads works fine. Than I thought why not generate email directly from php pages and send email for demo purpose. Unfortunately its not working. The steps i followed. 1. change php.ini (infact i tried my email hosting server aswell but none of this works) SMTP = smtp.gmail.com smtp_port = 465 ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = tislog@gmail.com 2. Try to test a script <? $to = "sayedsalmansohail@yahoo.com"; $from = "tislog@gmail.com"; $result = mail($to,"Test message","This is my test message"); echo $result; ?> 3. When i run the code, the page is keep on running and shows no error. I don't know how to pass the smtp email account password. can anyone help please?

sayedsohail Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 Sorry, i just got a last question, here I am trying to upload files from my email form, which works fine for uploading jpeg/gif format files, but i wish upload only pdf, htm or html files. Here is my code: Form: <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2//en"> <html> <head> <title>Multiple image upload script</title> </head> <body > <? $max_no_img=4; // Maximum number of images value to be set here echo "<form method=post action=attach.php enctype='multipart/form-data'>"; echo "<table border='0' width='400' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0' align=center>"; for($i=1; $i<=$max_no_img; $i++){ echo "<tr><td>Images $i</td><td> <input type=file name='images[]' ></td></tr>"; } echo "<tr><td colspan=2 align=center><input type=submit value='Send'></td></tr>"; echo "</form> </table>"; ?> <center><a href='http://localhost'>Back to Main Menu</a></center> </body> </html> Function which is checking the type of file, this is the bit i need some help, to allow .htm, .html, jpeg, pdf and doc files to upload. Attach.php checkType(); //------Check TYPE------\\ function checkType() { while(list($key,$value) = each($_FILES[images][type])){ strtolower($value); if($value != "image/jpeg" AND $value != "image/pjpeg" AND $value != "") { exit('Sorry , current format is <b>'.($value).'</b> ,only Jpeg or jpg are allowed.') ; } } checkSize(); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadTechie Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 you need to change this if($value != "image/jpeg" AND $value != "image/pjpeg" AND $value != "") { to if($value != "text/html" AND $value != "application/pdf" AND $value != "") { oh and the message exit('Sorry , current format is <b>'.($value).'</b> ,only html or pdf are allowed') ; EDIT: also please don't PM me the post... unless theirs private data and you trust me and i request it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
