PHP Mail script with Streamline.net... not working...

[Alexhoward]

Hi,

 

I'm using Streamline.net as my server.

 

1st of all... is anyone else?

 

I've got a test mail script, but i'm not receiving anything...

 

Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem, and managed to solve it

 

here's the code:

<?php

$to = "root@everyonlinestore.co.uk";

$sub = "testing";

$mess = "is it working";

mail($to, $sub, $mess, "From: root@everyonlinestore.co.uk", "-froot\@everyonlinestore.co.uk");

?>

 

Thanks in advance!!

oh,

 

just incase anyone is wondering.

 

the knowledge base on for my host says i need the 5 parameters.

 

not sure what the -f and \@ is for but that's what they say,

 

however... nothing is coming through, and i'm not getting any errors...

I'm on streamline, and mail works fine for me.

 

php.net/mail

 

copy one of their scripts and edit it to whatever you need. That's the easiest option.

Hi,

 

thanks for replying

 

are you on a windows server...?

The string:

"-froot\@everyonlinestore.co.uk"

can be written as

'-f root@everyonlinestore.co.uk'

 

That parameter will make your email message look like it's coming from you, not the server.

Hi Ken,

 

thanks for replying

 

I contacted my host and they've sorted it out.

 

my code now looks like this

 

mail form:

<form method="post" action="sendemail.php">

<!-- DO NOT change ANY of the php sections -->
<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>

<input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
<input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />


Your Name: <br />
<input type="text" name="visitor" size="35" />
<br />
Your Email:<br />
<input type="text" name="visitormail" size="35" />
<br /> <br />
<br />
Attention:<br />
<select name="attn" size="1">
<option value=" Sales n Billing ">Sales n Billing </option> 
<option value=" General Support ">General Support </option> 
<option value=" Technical Support ">Technical Support </option> 
<option value=" Webmaster ">Webmaster </option> 
</select>
<br /><br />
Mail Message:
<br />
<textarea name="notes" rows="4" cols="40"></textarea>
<br />
<input type="submit" value="Send Mail" />
<br />
</form>

 

and the send script:

<?php

$ip = $_POST['ip']; 
$httpref = $_POST['httpref']; 
$httpagent = $_POST['httpagent']; 
$visitor = $_POST['visitor']; 
$visitormail = $_POST['visitormail']; 
$notes = $_POST['notes'];
$attn = $_POST['attn'];


if (eregi('http:', $notes)) {
die ("Do NOT try that! ! ");
}
if(!$visitormail == "" && (!strstr($visitormail,"@") || !strstr($visitormail,"."))) 
{
echo "<h2>Use Back - Enter valid e-mail</h2>\n"; 
$badinput = "<h2>Feedback was NOT submitted</h2>\n";
echo $badinput;
die ("Go back! ! ");
}

if(empty($visitor) || empty($visitormail) || empty($notes )) {
echo "<h2>Use Back - fill in all fields</h2>\n";
die ("Use back! ! "); 
}

$todayis = date("l, F j, Y, g:i a") ;

$attn = $attn ; 
$subject = $attn; 

$notes = stripcslashes($notes); 

$message = " $todayis [EST] \n
Attention: $attn \n
Message: $notes \n 
From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
Additional Info : IP = $ip \n
Browser Info: $httpagent \n
Referral : $httpref \n
";

ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@everyonlinestore.co.uk");


mail("root@everyonlinestore.co.uk", $subject, $message, "From: root@everyonlinestore.co.uk", "-froot@everyonlinestore.co.uk"); 
?>

<p align="center">
Date: <?php echo $todayis ?> 
<br />
Thank You : <?php echo $visitor ?> ( <?php echo $visitormail ?> ) 
<br />

Attention: <?php echo $attn ?>
<br /> 
Message:<br /> 
<?php $notesout = str_replace("\r", "<br/>", $notes); 
echo $notesout; ?> 
<br />
<?php echo $ip ?> 

<br /><br />
<a href="contact.php"> Next Page </a> 
</p> 

 

where i had to "ini_set("sendmail_from", "root@everyonlinestore.co.uk");"

 

are you saying i should change:

 

"-froot@everyonlinestore.co.uk"

 

to:

 

"-f root@everyonlinestore.co.uk"...?

 

i'd really like it to think it was coming from the users email address inputted into the form

 

Thanks for your help
