I am a PHP novice here. I have a send mail script that looks like this:
$to = 'example#email.com';
$from = 'noreply#email.com';
$subject = 'Test Submission';
$message = 'This is just another test.';
$headers = 'From: example#email.com' . "\r\n" .
// 'Reply-To: example#email.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
This script works fine and sends an e-mail when the page is loaded. The problem is that when I alter the script just enough so that the form is not submitted until the Submit button is clicked then all of a sudden nothing works anymore. Here is the altered code I have been trying to use (and which seems to go right along with what the PHP site suggests):
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
$to = 'example#email.com';
$from = 'noreply#email.com';
$subject = 'Test Submission';
$message = 'This is just another test.';
$headers = 'From: example#email.com' . "\r\n" .
// 'Reply-To: example#email.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
Make sure your submit button on your form has a NAME attribute. The value of that NAME attribute is what gets sent to the server, so:
<input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" value="Go!">
...would result in this variable and value:
$_POST["btnSubmit"] = "Go!";
...and you would check it like this:
if(isset($_POST["btnSubmit"]))
{
...
}

I have the code below and the redirect works. However when I have the die() command at the bottom the email doesn't get sent. The email goes fine without the die() command.
Is there a way I can stop the php script continuing without stopping the email from working?
$to = 'hello#nospam.com';
$subject = "Test Subject";
$message = "Test Message";
$headers = 'From: robocop#nospam.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: robocop#nosopam.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
header('Location:http://nospam.com/home/bouncer.php');
die();
Try this for testing. I don't think that there are really such problem.
$to = 'hello#nospam.com';
$subject = "Test Subject";
$message = "Test Message";
$headers = 'From: robocop#nospam.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: robocop#nosopam.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
header('Location:http://nospam.com/home/bouncer.php');
} else {
echo "Fail";
}
die(); // and use for also exit(); for testing
That's very interesting if it is real problem.
I've made a website with a mailing form, and the php to send it is as follows:
<?php
$to = "example#outlook.com";
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
It won't send anything.
Can anyone tell what's wrong in the script?
If it helps on anything, I'm trying to send to an Outlook email.
Thanks
complete beginner at PHP and was wanting a little direction for a website I am creating. I want the admin of the website to receive an email with all of the form information aswell as it being stored in the database. The database is storing the information fine, just need an email notification. How is this achieved. My PHP code is:
<?php
session_start();
include('connection.php');
$product = $_POST['product'];
$productcomments = $_POST['productcomments'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$delivery = $_POST['delivery'];
mysql_query("INSERT INTO orderform(product, productcomments, name, address, age, delivery)VALUES('$product', '$productcomments', '$name','$address', '$age', '$delivery')");
header("location: google.com");
$to = 'j_bussey#live.co.uk';
$subject = 'Order';
$message = 'Product: ' . $product . '<br /> Product Comments: ' . $productcomments . '<br /> ';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
mysql_close($con);
?>
this is the very basic example of mail function. read more about mail() manual here.
$email = $_POST['email'];
$subject = "Email Subject";
$message = "Email Message Body";
mail($email, $subject, $message, "from: admin#yourdomain.com");
PHP has an awesome mail() function. I'm taking this from the documentation page here: http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
So since you're already grabbing the variables, you would just edit the $message variable in the code above to look something like this:
$message = 'Product: ' . $product . '<br /> Product Comments: ' . $productcomments . '<br /> ';
etc, etc. If you don't want to assume that they have html emails enabled, you would use \n instead of <br />
Edit:
You also need to change your header('Location: google.com'); to header('Location: http://www.google.com'); or wherever you want to redirect after the email has been sent off.
I am using below php code to send email after collecting user entered email ID (email-box) and content from a textarea(output_textarea) as message.
$to = $_REQUEST['email-box'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['output_textarea'];
$subject = 'form meta cli script';
$headers = 'From: info#mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: me#mydomain.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
But outlook is removing the line break and on top giving message "Extra Line breaks in this message were removed" How can I keep the line break in outlook?
Let me start by saying I do not have a lot of programming knowledge. I use a program called PHPRunner to generate most of the php that I do. It is mainly for small office stuff nothing fancy.
My question is:
I have a table that has 6 fields one of them called email. When I go into a record I wanted to put a button called "send notification" that would email the record details to the email address associated with that record.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know it is probably out here on the web, possibly searching the wrong way.
You can use the mail function in php. Example from the provided link:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
For sending email using PHP, use mail() function
http://php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
Example:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$from = 'webmaster#example.com';
$headers = 'From: '.$from . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: '.$from . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
