I have set up the Sendmail client on my localhost xammp server running on my home pc but I am getting the following error:xx-xx-xx xx:xx:xx: Message is missing sender's address. I have gotten it to work when I use the hard code what I want to send, like so:
$msg = "hello world";
mail("example#gmail.com","My subject",$msg, 'From: admin#myEmailClient.com');
but when I try and implement my login validation script It does not work and I get the aforementioned error.
emailvalidation.php
$to = $email;
$sub = 'email verification';
$msg = "<a href='http://localhost/verify.php?vkey=$vkey'>account verification </a>";
$headers = "From: admin#myEmailClient.com \r\n";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0". '\r\n';
$headers = "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8 ". '\r\n';
mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);
my email variable is set by the user if that helps, I don't think its a problem with the items being parsed because when I check my database all rows are properly filled in.
thank you for your time
edit
I think it's a problem with the r\n parts, these are the parts that enable HTML in emails. when I get rid of them it works

I'm not sure if I should delete this question because of the speed I was able to solve it but I hope this helps someone who had the same problem as I did.
here is how I solved the problem
$message = "<a href='http://localhost/verify.php?vkey=$vkey'>account verification </a>";
$to = $email;
$subject = 'account validation';
$from = 'admin#myEmailClient.com';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: '.$from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'Your mail has been sent successfully.';
} else{
header("location: index.PHP");
}
I got the solution from here. tutorial republic

PHP mail send to multiple recipients, I must be doing something wrong

I read the other questions and solutions... which is why I'm frustrated. I didn't code this app, but I'm trying to retrofit it.
Currently it sends a confirmation email to the email address that gets entered by the customer in the field. When I comment out the mail($to,... part at the bottom, it breaks the confirmation email functionality, so I know I'm in the right place in the code.
I just want a duplicate email sent to my master email address. I thought if I just put another mail command under the functional one, but specified a static address instead of the $to var it would work... but it doesn't. I couldn't get the CC header functionality to work either based on other questions, so I thought just sending a duplicate email to another address would work just fine.
Here is the working code:
$sq2 = myQuery(" select * from admin ");
$dat2 = mysql_fetch_object($sq2);
$from = "reservations#duelingpianopiano.com";
$to = $email;
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= "From: $from" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $from" . "\r\n";
/*$headers = "From: $from" . "\r\n" .
"Reply-To: $from" . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();*/
mail("vmvijitha#gmail.com", $subject, "sendemailtemplate($templateid,$tid,$userid,$modification)".$mailcontent, $headers);
//return;
mail($to, $subject, $mailcontent, $headers);
I feel like if I should just be able to add this line at the bottom to send the exact same email confirmation redundantly to my master email address for safe keeping.
mail("reservations#duelingpianopiano.com", $subject, $mailcontent, $headers);
Note: I think this line is an artifact from the original developer, and I can't tell whether it's working or not.
mail("vmvijitha#gmail.com", $subject,...
What am I assuming wrong?
insert multiple addresses using comma-separator in single variable.
$email_to = "xxx#one.com, xxx#two.com, xxx#three.com"
mail($email_to, $subject, $mailcontent, $headers);

How to protect against head injection

I am new here and this is my first post. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with php coding and so I need help for the following script. I would like to use this code on my website containing download files. I want to add a link or button next to the download link. When clicking the link the script should be executed and send an email to me with a given text.
Now, I read that this code could be a victim to header injection. As I am not familiar with php I do not know what to change to be protected. Is there anyone who might help me out with a solution? This is the code:
<?php
$to = 'name#example.com';
$subject = 'Broken Download-Link';
$from = 'Subject-Title <name#example.com>';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Create email headers
$headers .= 'From: '.$from."\r\n".
'Reply-To: '.$from."\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
// Compose a simple HTML email message
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<h2 style="color:#080;font-weight:normal;">Hello!</h1>';
$message .= '<p style="color:#000;font-size:18px;font-weight:normal;">Text here:</p>';
$message .= '<p style="color:#f40;font-size:22px;font-weight:bold;">Another text here</p>';
$message .= '</body></html>';
// Sending email
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'Your mail has been sent successfully.';
} else{
echo 'Unable to send email. Please try again.';
}
?>
Thank you in advance for any help.

mail() function not working for domain mail address [duplicate]

PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 7 years ago.
I am trying to use php mail() function on my new web server(linux based server) for my website. The issue is, emails are not sending to domain email addresses like some1#domain.com but its working fine for gmail, yahoo. I don't know what is the issue on it?. please give me suggestions or advice how to solve this issue. I want to send emails to domain-based email addresses.
my code is
//$to = $_POST['femail'];
$to = "<toadd#domain.com>";
$message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>".$subject."</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Registration request from site</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Project Requested</td>
<td>".$project."</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>";
// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <info#domain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: <some#domain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' .PHP_VERSION. "\r\n";
#mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
I have faced the same issue..after a talk with hosting service provider I came to know that either sender or receiver's email id should be of the hosting domain id like if you have a site test.com either sender or receiver should have #test.com so you may do the same or talk to your hosting service provider.
$to = "toadd#domain.com"; //to address
$subject ="Your Subject";
$message = "Your message";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: info#domain.com' . "\r\n"; //from address
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers) )
{
echo "Mail sent successfully";
}
else
{
echo "failed to send mail";
}

how to Send Email details notification using php?

How can I send email notification to my users who gave registration details in my form using php?
I have code which runs perfectly to get emails to me, but now I also want to same details to my users.
I am trying to use "$from" into my array at "$to" but getting no email.
my mail.php
<?php
$subject = "Email Notification";
$message = "Thank you for your email";
$message = "Your Registering details are as follows:";
$message .= "<br><br>";
$message .= "<table border='1'>";
$message .= "<tr><td>Name</td><td>".$_POST['name']."</td></tr>";
$message .= "<tr><td>Email</td><td>".$_POST['email']."</td></tr>";
$message .= "</table>";
$from = $_POST['email'];
$to = array('my_address#example.com', 'my_address2#example.com', $from);
$lp = "notification#example.com";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8\r\n";
$headers .= 'from: '.$lp .'' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$lp.'' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
foreach($to as $row)
{
mail($row,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
echo "Mail Sent.";
die;
?>
It's pretty common that on shared hosting you need to send an email from an "existing email", at least match the domain. Maybe that's why the emails are not being sent?
So for example, if your domain is "www.my-awesome-domain.com", you can't send email headers
"from: example#example.com"
Instead, make sure to send emails from your domain, and ideally an existing email box, for example:
"from: office#my-awesome-domain.com"
Hope it helps! :)

send mail by bbc not working

hay
i used this code
$to = "mial#live.com,mail#yahoo.com";
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: {$to}' . "\r\n";
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo 'ok';
}
but see what is happend
every user see the full list of the users

Your call to mail is passing the $to as the to parameter meaning those emails will be be in the to header try passing an empty string instead. You are passing the info into the bcc header so the email should still get to them that way.
That is because you have put all the users in the "to" line. You are also passing them into the "bcc" line too so just doing this may help you but as far as I know you need at least one address in the to line (although this may not be the case). It'll look pretty strange for each person doing it that way though.
The best way to avoid these issues would be to send the email multiple times, once to each user. To modify your code example to do this, I'd do something like the following:
$toAddresses = array("mial#live.com", "mail#yahoo.com");
$subject = "Mini-mass Emailer";
$message = "<a href='#'>Hello World</a>";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Your Name <me#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
foreach ($toAddresses as $to) {
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)){
echo "OK - sent message to {$to}";
}
}
The easiest way is to take this Mail-Class of phpguru.org:
http://www.phpguru.org/static/htmlMimeMail5
There you can specify with setBcc() the addresses which should be "blind", it's pretty easy and works well. I use this class in every project.
Best Regards.
