Re: [PHP-DB] mail()

[Maureen]

You do not show where $fromemail, $friendemail and $fromname are defined.
Shouldn't $toaddress be the first item in your mail function?
Try echoing these 3 variables to make sure it is what you think it should be.

You know that $fromaddress must have the correct header's to, right?
Like just "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" will not be interepreted but something like 
"Reply-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
will set the Reply-to header correctly.
Also, did you try taking out the dynamic values and just entering a hardcoded test 
without the
variables to make sure it works just even with straight static values?

Mail is controlled by settings in the php.ini file.
Please post the [mail function] section (changing any confidential names
to protect the guilty).
Setup for Windows differs from *NIX - hence confusion in many
tutorials/books... this matter is frequently discussed - see archives.

Here is the section from my PHP.INI

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default:
'sendmail -t -i').
;sendmail_path =

I presume you mean the SMTP server set in my mail account. That is at my
ISP.

just change the SMTP to your ISP's SMTP server, i.e. the server you use to 
send mail from your regular mail account.

The SMTP= entry must be pointing at an SMTP server. Have you installed
SMTP on the local box? In any case, others have had major problems using
"localhost", cf a machine name.

FWIW, I recommend using the SMTP svr at your ISP. Because you can set up
this line to be exactly the same as you have in your email package - and
thus reduce variable factors, if you can get email OUT using your email
client, you should be able to have high confidence that your PHP
infrastructure will work! (so even if you have set up a local SMTP
server, I'd get going on the ISP, and once proven switch back in-house)

Can I set this to use the SMTP Server at my ISP but still use the database
and PHP files in house. I don't want to make any changes to either the php
pages or the database at the ISP until I have got it all working. Although I
suppose I could set up another site and database at my ISP.

Yep, that's exactly how it works. Just like the email you send from Eudora

RE: [PHP-DB] Mail

I realised that just after my last post. I also realised that I would never
get it to work until I make some alterations to my network. I have a
broadband cable modem connected to a Windows 98 system which I use for
everything. For test purposes I added a Windows 2000 system and at the
moment I am reluctant to spend the time changing over the modem and I can't
seem to get the Windows 2000 PC to connect through the Modem on the Windows
98 mc. I may just get as far as I can and take a chance on working on the
ISP.

Thank you for your help

I want to know somthing: this "||" operator is OR, and de logic in my code
is: if one of variables is empty and the rest not send the mail, it isnt?
If I want all field full with data I must to use "&&" AND operator, it isnt?
Well, if the answer is YES, I tell you: I test with "&&" and send it anyway.

I dont understand... I am right or not with my afiration?

Maybe the post variables are there but they are empty.

$form_vars = array('empresa', 'nombre', 'telefono');

$error = false;
foreach ($form_vars as $var) {
   if (!isset($_POST[$var])) {
  echo "Error - $var is missing\n";
  $error =  true;
  break;
   }

   if (empty($_POST[$var])) {
 echo "Error: $var is empty (no value supplied)\n";
  $error =  true;
 break;
   }
}

if ($error) {
   die();
}

It would only not send if *ALL* were empty this way.

RE: [PHP-DB] mail

[Gautam Bhatia]

hello,
   Yes you are right, the || operator stands for OR , which means ,
if any of those listed fields are empty, do not process the form and
throw a error message instead. If you use && instead of || , it instruct
the php other way around as in , if ($field == "" && $field1 == "") or
otherfield, only process the form , if all these form fields are empty
and not just one. I hope that helps. good luck.

Regards,
Gautam Bhatia

RE: [PHP-DB] mail()

[Jennifer Goodie]

This is not so much a database question.  The answer is yes, it can be.  You
can read the documentation to find out how.
 http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

A quick example is:
 $val){
$body .= "$key = $val\n";
}
mail ($address, "Form submission", $body);
?>

That is really ugly an inelegant.  I would suggest building off of it by
adding error checking and formatting the mail body.

Re: RE: [PHP-DB] mail()

[Adam Voigt]

The last parameter of the mail command is for email headers, if you pass in
just a single email address it doesn't know what you want to do with that since
thats not a valid header. If you don't know what your doing with the last parameter
then you don't need to have it, and should omit it, as it is opitional for a reason.

If your sure you do need it, you seperate headers like this:

To set the reply-to field and the from field (as it would appear to the person who 
recieves
the email), you would do: "From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\nReply-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

This would make the email appear as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED], while
when they clicked the reply button, it would go to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the most useful
situation for these is when your server appends a nastry from address like 
apache@localhost
or whatever from the webserver daemon.

Not sure what esays php is, but you don't say what platform you're on.
Basically, you need some kind of mail server.  If you're on Linux or MacOS
X, great: you've got sendmail built in.  If you're on Windows, you either
need an SMTP product running locally, or you need one you can connect to.

Just looking at our php.ini file and we use an external machine to send
mail with when calling the mail() function.

I think you just need to change the directive for the path/URI to the
mail server you wish PHP to use, in your php.ini file.

If you are allowed, you can install sendmail in your machine and 
configure to route all mail through the mail server.

If you can't, all you can do is to use some PHP SMTP client code to send 
your messages.

In this case you may want to try this class that is optimized for 
queuing messages for many recipients as you need.

http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass

You are strongly recommended to put all recipients in Bcc: because 
queuing via SMTP is much slower than using a local mailer like sendmail 
and it would take you a long time to queue if you send separate messages 
for each recipient.

Oops! wrong order of arguments...

I meant:

$mailFrom = "From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$mailSubject = "This is an email...";
$mailBody = "This is a message";
@mail($mailTo,$mailSubject,$mailBody,$mailFrom);

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail question

[Micah Stevens]

I'm replying off-list as this isn't a database question, but check out the 
pear mail class at:

http://pear.php.net

It handles SMTP authentication. The standard mail() function does not.

a) the parse error is likely form a rogue quote (in the html perhaps)

b) are you sure mail() can tell that that is html and create the

does is pipe the data to sendmail, I'd recommend using a valid MIME/SMTP 
tool like Perl's Mail::Sender::Easy module

You can easily use Perl's DBI to do your MySQL query so there really is 
no need to try to hack up PHP's lame mail() function to do something it 
simply can't.

The function ini.set() should be the one to use, but it doesn't set all
options for security reasons.  See
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ini-set.php for details.  You should
also check the annotations for email functions for other options.

I'm not sure but I think you must have a smtp server program running to
configure as your smtp server.

Re: [PHP-DB] mail server

[Miles Thompson]

Paul Schreiber has written, in PHP, an email class. His opening comments 
are given below, but ii doesn't do what you want. He might be worth 
emailing however.

If you were on a Linux/Unix/etc box you could use exim, as it can be 
configured to be either it's own SMTP mailer or to use the ISP's. Aren't 
there any open source mail programs for NT?

I don't think this would be very fast, but Python has an SMTP module which 
is very easy to use, but then you'd be invoking Python and calling a script 
every time you wanted to send something. Not an optimum solution.

Miles Thompson




//   EmailClass 0.5
//   class for sending mail

//   Paul Schreiber
//   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
//   http://paulschreiber.com/
//
//   parameters

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() headers

I believe mail works completely different on unix.  It probably doesn't
suffer the same problems, because it's a direct call to an external process.

Store the email in some form of storage (database would be preferable) and then
use queries to fetch the mail.

To send mail just insert an entry into the table holding the mail.

RE: [PHP-DB] mail function

[Tom Hodder]

check that you have either specified

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = mail.myserver.com

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED]

or the sendmail path here;

; For Unix only.  You may supply arguments as well (default:
'sendmail -t -i').
;sendmail_path = /usr/bin/sendmail

otherwise mail cannot send mail at all.

hi all,

I cant seem to get my mail function to work. OK so i am a noob, that might
have something to do with it.  I am using a script I found called the HTML
Mime Mail Class, which does everything i need except actually send the mail.
I am guessing that there is some config problems, but i am not sure.  Even
when i try and use the mail() function i get a server error.  So i guess
that my problem is that my return address is messed up.  Does it have to  be
my own domain, or the domain that the server is running on?  Can i set the
return address as a hotmail account, or do i need my own server mail
program?  And is there anything that i need to config in the php.ini file?

Thanks for helping,

T P K Cannell

1) Check that php.ini is correctly configured

2) Check the php error log

3) Check your mailserver log

I think having a mailserver would be a tremendous help in sending mail :)

If you're running on some Windows system you can try specifying the SMTP 
server provided by your ISP. Otherwise google is your friend.

If you're running some *nix system then they usually come with the ubiquitous 
sendmail.

If you're running an SMTP server on the same machine (as your webserver) then 
leave it as 'localhost'. Otherwise do what I originally suggested and use an 
upstream SMTP server (probably provided by your ISP).

Yehp, actually there is :-)

On windows machines you'll need to change the SMTP in there (Since you
probably aren't running a local mail server), in your php.ini you can most
likely change it to your ISP's mail server., there is more specific info on
the docs for the mail funcion in the php manual -- refer to the user

Re: [PHP-DB] mail function

[Shahmat Dahlan]

The textarea tag has an option called wrap, pls read below (extracted from w3c.org)



Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are ignored
and one line of text is sent to the server. No automatic wrapping is done,
so the user must scroll horizontally to see lines that extend past the
specified column width.
	

Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are mirrored
on the screen, but only one line of text is sent to the server with the
return characters stripped out. Automatic wrapping as the user enters
text is performed.
	

Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are mirrored

In addition, automatic word wrapping is performed and CR/LFs are sent
where the user agent wraps the text.

There's no direct, easy way. You'll have to write/aquire a PHP script that
logs into a mail server and checks your mail for bounces and reacts
accordingly. PHP offers the function to log into mail servers. Check the
manual.

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail Function

[J-Michael Roberts]

Your script actually connects to an SMTP server and sends the email?

If this is the case, you can have your script look for success/error 
messages returned by the server when it sends - unless you're delivering 
to an AOL address.  AOL accepts everything you throw at it and then 
sends back a notification of success/failure via email...sometimes.  
There are a few other servers that act the same way, but AOL is the 
biggest culprit in making an email list manager's life a living hell.

I've actually been kicking around the idea of a PHP-based list manager 
that will also go through bounce notifications but haven't done anything 
more than that.  The biggest hurdle is getting through the bounced messages.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

There used to be a note with a complete set of headers to use with the mail

$headers .= "From: Name<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n";

$headers .= "X-Priority: 3\n"; //1 UrgentMessage, 3 Normal

//Uncomment this to send html format
//$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

4. No error messages. An email constructed as above sends perfectly - but
the return path defaults to the apache user (in my case www) not the
supplied return path. I tested the header construction by changing
Return-Path: to X-Path: and the X-Path: header appears correctly. I am not
sure but it seams that the real Return-Path is not overidable.

I hope this is clearer.

It's a sendmail config thing.  Do you have access to the server? Or is at a
web host?  

If you can get access to your php.ini file and restart apache, you can
change the sendmail path to:

sendmail -t -i -f [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That bounces all mail to that address.  I believe that in PHP 4.0.6 they
added another parameter of the mail function that lets you add options to
sendmail from each script, but check the docs.

HTH.

=I struggled hard and long with this one too - even more so for us Windows users who 
have to worry about \n or
\r\n... The bottom line is that the PHP-native email() function is very 
exacting/narrowly defined - and I
couldn't get it to accept my code reliably (and there's nothing wrong with MY code so 
it must have been ...
fault !?)

> 4. No error messages. An email constructed as above sends perfectly - but

=yes I found this too, but no I couldn't figure it out.

=So let's try to be constructive: have you read the various RFCs (depending upon which 
formats of email... there
are several to cope with)? RFC822 is the most basic/easiest for me to understand and 
covers simple-text email
msgs (in particular the various headers).

=This raises the question about the use/implementation of Return-Path vs From. If you 
remove the Return-Path
header completely and succeed in send/receiving a msg, what happens when you hit Reply 
to that msg - does it
give you the from address or does the (useless) Return-Path address interject?

=Assuming that works ok, then the question becomes: do you really need to worry about 
Return-Path at all? If you
do not control the Return-Path, you may want to ascertain the server admin's 
policy/procedure for dealing with
any (your) 'returned mail'.

=If you do need to get clever with the headers then be advised that my path to success 
ran through phpguru.org
and a set of open source email PHP classes available there for download ('the man', 
Richard Heyes (?sp) is often
here on the list steering us through email headaches). Even though I'm not into 
classes/OO-programming, several
examples are provided and were enough to get me started - although much of the 
rationale is pure gobbledegook
unless you've read the RFCs (nag, nag).

=Sorry I didn't spot anything blindingly obvious. Let me know how you get on.

=Regards,

I think where the bounces goes is really a matter of mailserver 
configuration more than PHP itself... not sure about that really though ... 
I only use the mail() function to send mail from the website to the 
webmaster ... so that I don't have to expose the actual email addy on the 
site itself... so never had a bounce...

you don't fully understand how works, or why it works how it does, then 
you'll never be able to take full advantage of it, or know what to do 
if/when errors occurs.

Actually ... in school ("Advanced Computer Studies" = programming/system 
development) we basically learn that "copy/paste is the most important 
function for a programmer" ... despite the crudeness of that statement, 
it's just a matter of saying that we shouldn't rewrite everything 
everytime, but try to reuse as much of the code as entirely possible ... so 
yes, code reuse is good, but if you don't understand the code you reuse, 
you're not really benefitting much of it (other than ending in the same 
category as script-kiddies)...

If you use this class, you can just specify the bounce address in 
Return-Path header and the class will take care of composing and sending 
the message in an appropriate way to make the bounces go to the 
specified address when possible. Keep in mind that just specifying the 
Return-Path header when you use the mail() function directly will not 
work. This class does some magic to make it happen depending on your system.

I didn't mean to say that phpmailer isn't useful, just that using mail() 
should work fine for simple mailing. I definately agree with using a 
library, be it phpmailer or PEAR::Mail for anything more than a simple 
message.

Yes, code re-use is good. I won't get into the PEAR vs. other stuff 
argument again, I've done it too much lately. Just look for me and 
Manuel Lemos in the archives. ;-) I will say one thing: I like PEAR 
because it's all built around the same framework and everything has a 
similar interface to similar functionality. It has never felt like 
bloatware to me and never will, all of the given functionality is very 
useful.

I'm having a major problem.  I'm trying to send a message FROM Windows XP
Pro, now this is where it get weird - in some mail packages it WORKS, and in

completed, the results are stored in a DB and then sent on in an HTML Email
Format.  In My outlook 2003, it works, in my friends outlook 2003 which I
setup for him exactly the same way mine is - the email is blank, it is the
same in his outlook express.  My question is, can anyone see anything that I
am doing wrong for this to happen?  Maybe my headers are wrong?  Any help
would be really appreciated as this is really getting to me.
Are you sure he isn't just viewing the message in plain text? Each of 
you view the source of the message and see if anything is different. 
This isn't a PHP issue, as far as I can tell.

$body_html = "$messagebody"; 
$body_html = $messagebody;
$headers .= "to: \"".$to_name."\" <".$to_email.">\r\n"; 
Don't put a To: header here. That's what the "to" parameter of mail() is 
for.

$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n"; 
Not the best way to send an HTML message. It'll work on some mail 
clients and not on others. Best way is to send a multi-part message. 
Search Google for a tutorial.

[Chris Payne]

Hi there,

Thanks for the help, I've sorted it out now - stupid me :-)  You know what
it's like sometimes, you work that hard on different things that something
which should be really simple just goes over your head - well, it does mine
anyway :-)

Very much appreciated.

Chris

Hey Chris,

Probably a good idea would be to read the email RFC.

I'd say that you're trying to send a Multi-part MIME email, but not
formatting it correctly. You even forget to include your 'simple' (plain
text) message in the email body. SO if you were formatting it correctly, and
your friend is only viewing plain text, you won't see anything.

Here's the basic structure of a Multi-part MIME email:

 begin quote 
From:  Persons Name <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=mime_seperator
X-Mailer: PHP/5.0.0
This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

--mime_seperator
Content-type: text/plain;charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
This is the plain text part of the email.

--mime_seperator
Content-type: text/html;charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


Email Title

HTML Email  in here



--mime_seperator-

 end quote 


A few notes for you:

1. "This is a multi-part message in MIME format." begins the email body. (ie
it's not a header)
2. Most of the headers need \r\n as a newline. \n won't do. (Checkout the
code below to see where to use \r\n and where to use \n)
3. You need a mime seperator to begin each section of the email. it should
be preceded by -- each time. You should end the email with the mime
seperator preceeded with -- AND suffixed with -. You can use pretty much
anything for the seperator. There may be a restriction on which characters
you can use.
4. This does not cover attachments. If you want to send attachments in the
email, you need to do some further research.

Official EMail RFCs:
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1341.txt

Here's a great tutorial at "PHP Builder":
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic2807.php3


Here's how I do the above email:

 \r\nMIME-Version:
1.0\r\nContent-type: multipart/alternative;
boundary=\"$content_boundary\"\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
  $start_html="Content-type:
text/html;\tcharset=\"us-ascii\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
  $start_text="Content-type:
text/plain;\tcharset=\"us-ascii\"\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
  $message="This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n";
  $message.="--".$content_boundary."\r\n".$start_text;
  $message.="Plain text email.\r\nA new line\r\n\r\nTwo new lines follwed by
some more text."
  $message.="--".$content_boundary."\r\n".$start_html;
  $message.="\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\
r\n";
  $message.="Message body in here";
  $message.=\r\n\r\n";
  $message.="--".$content_boundary."-\r\n";
  mail($username."<".$user_email.">", $subject, $message, $extra_headers);
?>

Hope this helps.

There are only 4 parameters allowed in the mail function, PHP4.0 Manual pg
535.

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

Thus for your purposes below,

> if ($ACTION == "send-mail") {
> mail($MYEMAIL,$TITLE,$NAME,$COMPANY,$CITY,$COUNTRY,$EMAIL,$NUM,"From:
> $EMAIL");
> echo "Your information has been submitted.\n";
> } else {
> echo "Use this form to submit your information.\n";

Try this:

$extra_header = "From: $EMAIL";
$subject = "Submitted Form";
$message = "$TITLE\n$NAME\n$COMPANY\n$CITY\n$COUNTRY\n$EMAIL\n$NUM";

mail($MYEMAIL, $subject, $message, $extra_header);

Hope that helps

This is _totally_ unrelated to php-db, and should have been posted on the

But basically your php install hasn't compiled in support for the mail() 
command, it might
have been disabled on purpose, ask your admin.

RE: [PHP-DB] Mail() Not working

[Beau Lebens]

not that has anything to do with databases directly...

in your line;
mail($email, "Test", $mesg, $from)
the "$from" var is not actually supposed to be an email address (RTFM) - it
is additional headers, so if you are trying to set the from address, use

$from = "From: ";

that might help if PHP is checking those as valid headers(?)

The mail() function works fine.  $email must be set to you email program,
NOT an email server.

Should be something like  "/bin/sendmail".  If you don't have access to this
function, then you cannot send mail.

So where would the To: address go if not $email?  I thought the proper 
syntax was:  mail(Email_Address_of_Recipient, Title_of_Email, 
Body_of_Email, Headers);

It should look like:

$email = "/bin/sendmail";
$to = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$subj = "A test message";
$body = "This is the body of the message";
$hdr = "Reply-to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]";
mail ($email, $to, $subj, $body, $hdr);

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail() Not working

Ummm, you both might want to take a look at: 
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
as well as:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php

Rick, you can't specify the mail program in any of the arguments for the 
mail() command.

Kevin, I bet your problem is in your php.ini script. Make sure 
sendmail_path is configured correctly for your server - notice that SMTP 
only has to be identified for Win32 installations. You must set 
sendmail_path correctly for this to work on *n[iu]x systems.

And for future reference, since there was no database content in the 
question, php-general would have been a better place for the question.

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail() and replies

[John Krewson]

I would say this can be done (-:

Run a quck search on freshmeat.net, sourceforge.net,
of course the manual http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.mail.php,
and http://www.hotscripts.com/, just to name a few places to start.  Or 
just search for "mailing list php" on Google.

There are a ton of mailing list managers out there - check them out and 
then decide if you need to roll your own.  Many are free to use, and 
would at least offer some idea of where to start.

Sure, there are a couple modules in PHP that'll let you access and read your
POP3 or IMAP email. I'm sure there are some classes on phpclasses.org that
can be modified to your needs.

There are programs out there that do this already, too, if you don't want to
re-create the wheel.

0) Does the simplest mail() invocation work at all?

1) Check the php logs
2) Check the sendmail logs
3) Ask on the RedHat list
4) Ask on the sendmail list

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() and sendmail configuration

[dpgirago]

Jason,

Thanks for the suggestions.

In regard to your question, no. A simple mail() invocation without the 
attachment does not work, hence my sense that the problem is the sendmail 
config.
I'm in the process of checking the logs and will repost if anything looks 
promising.

FWIW, OS X comes with sendmail installed, you just need to enable it in the
/etc/hostconfig file.

Perhaps Communigate Pro has a "sendmail" type wrapper that you can point the
php sendmail value to.  I've heard that qmail has such a script.  Check with
CG Pro support for more info.

Another option would be to use Manuel Lemos' excellent SMTP class for
sending you email directly through an smtp server.



Of course, then you wouldn't actually be using the mail() function.

HTH.

Re: [PHP-DB] mail() - is there a limit?

[Justin Buist]

I would doubt there's a limit in any of the mail RFCs -- but I've seen
some mailservers limit the number of Cc's or Bcc's you can do on a single
message.  It's all up to the admin of the mailserver I suppose.

RE: [PHP-DB] mail() - is there a limit?

[Luke Muszkiewicz]

olinux:

I do not know the answer to your question.

However, I would alternatively suggest that you send the email to each
person individually. That is to say, loop through your recipient array and
use mail() to send the message to each recipient, as opposed to creating a
bcc array and then sending one email.

This solution will take longer to execute -- you may in fact need to adjust
the maximum program execution time via set_time_limit() -- but each
recipient will receive an individual email, which, I think, will make your
message look more personal.

Plus, you no longer need to consider the number of addresses in the bcc
field.

Let me know if you have any questions!
