Hey,

I found this on the internet, but it seems to have failed.

<?php 

//You will need to configure the script.  
//It's easy, just use a text editor.
//Follow the instructions in the "Begin Configure" section below.

//Note: This script contains a link to our site.  
//We'd like it if you left it, but you have permission to remove it. 

//This script uses the new $_POST and $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']
//If you have an issue with an older version of PHP, you can get help at:

// ************Begin Configure***************

//Put your website name between the quotes below:
$websiteName = "Imagine Wedding Photography";

//Put your website address between the quotes below:
$websiteAddress = "www.iwphoto.co.uk";

$privacyPolicyLinkText = "";


// Put in the "" the url to you your privacy policy, if you have one,
$privacyPolicyLinkURL = "";

//if you want to recieve a notice when people are refered:
$notice = 1;

$adminEmail = "drew@wmguk.co.uk";


//Put the subject line text you want the email to read in the  "":
$subject = "Our album is now live";

//Specify $login
$login = $_GET['login'];

//This is what the people who are referred will see
//along with any personal message entered by the referer.

but it seems to have failed.

well thats as useful as it works as its be programmed to!

wmguk · August 20, 2007

it just refreshes the page to itself but doesnt actually send any email or say its sent any emails

MadTechie · August 20, 2007

No i mean that not useful infomation..

what do you mean by "but it seems to have failed."

its like saying "theirs a problem"

php_tom · August 20, 2007

[code]Here's you problem: change

if (isset($_POST['tellsubmit'])) {

doTell($notice, $adminEmail, $subject, $websiteName, $defaultMessageClose, $link);

}

else {

doTellForm($privacyPolicyLinkText, $privacyPolicyLinkURL, $defaultMessageIntro, $link);

}

[/code]

to

if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
doTell($notice, $adminEmail, $subject, $websiteName, $defaultMessageClose, $link);
}
else {
doTellForm($privacyPolicyLinkText, $privacyPolicyLinkURL, $defaultMessageIntro, $link);
}

(It's at the bottom of the script.)

Hope that helps.

ah ha, excellent ta, thats got it, the only thing is its not including the message in the email,

$message = "<html>\n<body style=\"font-family:Verdana, Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size:8px; color:#666666;\">\n<table width='800' border='0' align='center' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0'><tr><td height='80' align='left' valign='top' background='http://demo.iwphoto.co.uk/images/top.jpg'><p> </p></td></tr><tr><td align='left' valign='top' background='http://demo.iwphoto.co.uk/images/middle.jpg'><table width='800' border='0' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='0'><tr><td width='20'> </td><td class='main'>We are pleased to announce that the album for $title is now viewable.</p><p>Please click <a href='http://demo.iwphoto.co.uk/emailgallery.php?login=$login'>HERE</a> to view the album. </p></td><td width='20'> </td></tr></table></td></tr><tr><td align='left' valign='top' background='http://demo.iwphoto.co.uk/images/bottom.jpg'> </td></tr></table></body>\n</html>\n";

i set this as $message but its not being emailed?

php_tom · August 20, 2007

$message1 = $_POST['friend_name1'] . "\r\n" . $_POST['message'];

It's apparently looking for the message to be POSTed from the form ($_POST['message']).

Hope that helps.
