[SOLVED] Very stupid question

[Fjerpje]

Eeeh people

 

This might be the dumbest question ever asked but i am buzy writing

a management system and now im buzy with the member activation

part.

 

Now when a member is succesfully registerd they recieve an

email with an activation link but now when i use the mail function

and i type in the message with the activation link is simple wouldnt

send the email now i tried allot but its just when i insert the link it j

ust wouldnt send i just inserted a normal link http://www.blabla.nl/

but it wouldnt send.

 

Does anyone have a answer to this most likely dumb question???

 

Thanks for your help,

Hello,

Post your code and I'm sure people would take a look.

No question is a dumb question. If you don't know, you simply don't know

 

Who's more dumb, the person who doesn't ask the question and never gets the answer, or the person who asks the question and learns the answer?

$bericht = "Rally-online account activatie";

$headers = "FROM: Rally-online";

$bericht = "Beste rally-online gebruiker

Uw activatie link: http://www.testestest.nl/";

if(mail($email, $onderwerp, $bericht, $headers) == true) {

echo("<center>Er is een link verstuurd naar het ingevoerde email adres. Met deze link kunt u uw account activeren. Nadat uw account geactiveerd is kunt u

volledig gebruik maken van alle accountsfeatures van rally-online en bent u officieel geregistreerd<br>$terug_1</center>");

}

else {

echo("<center><br>Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het verzenden van de email<br>$terug_0");

}

----------------------------------------------------

 

This code is in dutch but just a simple link like http://www.testestest.nl/ in the mail function doesnt work...

[xyn]

what is the problem? or the errors you encounter?

[Fjerpje]

When i insert that link the mail wouldnt send :-\

 

Is it possible that its something with my SMTP server?

I doubt it but...

[xyn]

try this...

 

<?php

$email_to = "";  #email@email.com

$email_from = ""; #your from email

$subject = "the email subject";

$message = "the message here";

$headers = "From: " . $email_from;

 

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

echo ("email sent");

?>

[xyn]

Infact i think..  try this below; or use my created template above

 

bericht = "Rally-online account activatie";
$headers = "FROM: Rally-online";
$bericht = "Beste rally-online gebruiker
Uw activatie link: http://www.testestest.nl/";
if(!mail($email, $onderwerp, $bericht, $headers)) {
echo("<center>
Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het verzenden van de email
$terug_0");
}
else {
echo("<center>Er is een link verstuurd naar het ingevoerde email adres. Met deze link kunt u uw account activeren. Nadat uw account geactiveerd is kunt u 
volledig gebruik maken van alle accountsfeatures van rally-online en bent u officieel geregistreerd
$terug_1</center>");
}

[Fjerpje]

I know that works by reading it but thats not the problem

i have the problem when i insert the link like:

 

$message = "Dear user,\nYour activation link is: >>> Here it goes wrong >>> http://www.blablablabla.nl/";

 

I dont understand why the mail() doesnt send when i put a link in ???

[xyn]

ohh right,  so if you dont have any URL the email will send.

and if you add a URL it wont send?

[Fjerpje]

yah axactly :-\

[xyn]

try this below:

 

$bericht = "Rally-online account activatie";
$url = "http://www.testestest.nl/";
$headers = "FROM: Rally-online";
$bericht = "Beste rally-online gebruiker
Uw activatie link: ".$url."";
if(mail($email, $onderwerp, $bericht, $headers) == true) {
echo("<center>Er is een link verstuurd naar het ingevoerde email adres. Met deze link kunt u uw account activeren. Nadat uw account geactiveerd is kunt u 
volledig gebruik maken van alle accountsfeatures van rally-online en bent u officieel geregistreerd
$terug_1</center>");
}
else { 
echo("<center>
Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het verzenden van de email
$terug_0");
}

[Fjerpje]

Didnt tried that one yet. Ill bet that one works.

[xyn]

try it and see

[Fjerpje]

This is madness it still doesnt work ill post the file instead

[Fjerpje]

else{

$wachtwoord2 = md5($wachtwoord2);

$query = "INSERT INTO gebruikers VALUES(null,'$voornaam','$achternaam','$woonplaats','$email','$gebruikersnaam','$wachtwoord2',2,0,'$datum')";

mysql_query($query) or die ("Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het registreren van de ingevoerde gegevens");

$onderwerp = "Rally-online account activatie";

$headers = "FROM: Rally-online";

$url = "http://www.gebr-sluijer.nl/test/";

$bericht = "Beste rally-online gebruiker\nUw activatie link: $url";

if(mail($email, $onderwerp, $bericht, $headers) == true) {

echo("<center>Er is een link verstuurd naar het ingevoerde email adres. Met deze link kunt u uw account activeren. Nadat uw account geactiveerd is kunt u volledig gebruik maken van alle accountsfeatures van rally-online en bent u officieel geregistreerd<br>$terug_1</center>");

}

else {

echo("<center><br>Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het verzenden van de email<br>$terug_0");

  }

}

}

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

This is the else clausule this happens when the register is fully validated

this cant possibly effect that url problem but anyway here is it.

[xyn]

try this..

 

mysql_query($query) or die (mysql_error());

then paste the error to me

I think the problem is this...

INSERT INTO gebruikers VALUES(null,'$voornaam','$achternaam','$woonplaats','$email','$gebruikersnaam','$wachtwoord2',2,0,'$datum')

 

should be like...

INSERT INTO gebruikers (`field_one`, `field2`) VALUES(null, '$var_one')";

 

[MadTechie]

Try this

<?php
mysql_query($query) or die ("Er is een fout opgetreden tijdens het registreren van de ingevoerde gegevens");
//--Snip
$email_from = "webmaster@gebr-sluijer.nl";
$onderwerp = "Rally-online account activatie";
$mime_boundary = "----Rally-online----".md5(time());
$headers = "From: Rally-online <$email_from>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: Rally-online <$email_from>\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\n";

$url = "http://www.gebr-sluijer.nl/test/";
$bericht = "Beste rally-online gebruiker\nUw activatie link: <a href='$url'>here</a>";
ini_set("sendmail_from", $email_from);
//---End Snip

if(mail($email, $onderwerp, $bericht, $headers) == true) {
?>

 

PS the only stupid questions is the unasked one

 

EDIT: if this fails comment out the $URL line

change

$url = "http://www.gebr-sluijer.nl/test/";

to

//$url = "http://www.gebr-sluijer.nl/test/";

and try that, (just need to know the patten)
