I want to send mail with php on my website. I don't know very well php.After I search and I created mail.php files. It's includes this code:
$name = $_POST[“your-name”];
$from = $_POST[“your-email”];
$message = $_POST[“your-message”];
$headers = "From: $mail\r\n"."Content-Type: text/html;Charset=iso-8859-9-r\n ";
mail("admin#ardazaman.com","konu / Subject ", $message ,$headers);
?>
When I send to mail, The output is that:
I won't know what I do. Thank you for helping. Have a good day :).
That's on your email client provider, they don't allow sending html emails.
Best you can do is to contact them to see if there are any workarounds. otherwise you'll have to send a plain email.

How do I prevent mails sent through PHP mail() from going to spam? [duplicate]
(6 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
So a company I am helping out has outlook for their mail. Unfortunately, outlook seems to be very inflexible on how I can set up emails. I have added multiple domains to the outlook admin center for our multiple different sites. However, it will not let me create anything useful with the new domains.
For instance, we have "information#ourMainDomain.com" set up as an account.
I tried to create an alias on this account for "information#aSecondaryDomain.com" but then outlook gives me an error saying "information#ourMainDomain.com" already exists. Evidently you cannot use the same username even with different domains.
Fine. So i tried to create a shared mailbox - same issue. information#aSecondaryDomain.com is not allowed, because information#ourMainDomain.com exists... getting frustrating now!
So, after experimenting, trying everything, and spending 2 hours on the phone with outlook support that got me no where, i opted for my own route:
I created a Distribution Group called information#aSecondaryDomain.com, told this that senders outside the organization can send to it, added all the people that need to be involved, and gave them all send access.
This allows us to send emails as info#aSecondaryDomain.com
It allows us to recieve them here as well.
Also, i can send from outside the organization, ie from my gmail i can send to this account and it comes through, Great!
The problem is when i use php for a contact form, it WILL NOT send to the distribution group. It is not going to junk that i can see, and mail trace doesnt show it ever coming in at all. If i change the send to address of mail function to one of our main emails with the organization it comes through. If i change it to send to my gmail it comes through. As soon as i set it to the address of the distribution group, it will not come through. I see no errors on the php, it thinks it sent... but it never does.
Does anyone have an ideas? Or has anyone done this before?
The code in question is very simple...
<?
$name = $_REQUEST["name"];
$email = $_REQUEST["email"];
$subject = $_REQUEST["subject"];
$msg = $_REQUEST["msg"];
$to = "information#aSecondaryDomain.org";
if (isset($email) && isset($name) && isset($msg)) {
$email_subject = "$name sent you a message";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: ".$name." <".$to.">\r\n"."Reply-To: ".$to."\r\n" ;
$msg = "From: $name<br/> Email: $email <br/> Subject: $subject <br/> Message: $msg";
$mail = mail($to, $email_subject, $msg, $headers);
if($mail)
{
echo 'success';
}
else
{
echo 'failed';
}
}
?>
EDIT: I have no tried PHPMailer... same reuslt - it will send to my regular work address, and my personal, but not to the distribution group.
I am looking to create one email (example#domain.com) to forward to all email addresses in a database.
People can email to example#domain.com, and then that email would get blasted to a list of predefined email addresses. It would need to include support for attachments.
I realize this is not secure at all and leaves this email address open to anybody to use, but this is what our organization wishes to do.
What would be the best way to do this on a PHP server?
Thanks.
This can be achieved in PHP Server as you have to go in depth of following things:
Email Piping
Email Headers
MIME Email attachments
Mailing List Management
While emailing to a lot of people in the way you mentioned is not a good idea...
You can use PHP's "mail" function:
$to = "user1#domain.com, user2#domain.com"; //(Comma separated list of emails)
$from = "noreply#domain.com";
$subject = "Hello";
$message = "Hello there!";
$headers = "From: ". $from . "\r\n".
"Reply-To: ".$from . "\r\n";
//send it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($emails))
{
$addresses[] = $row['address'];
}
$to = implode(", ", $addresses);
And then send mail using mail function ... mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
The way you have worded your query is a bit confusing but it seems you have a hosting server that is going to receive emails to a domain email. You then want to have those emails autoforwarded to a list of recipients. It looks like you want to investigate (given you mention sendmail) linux mail services and autoforwarding. You may be looking at postfix and possibly using procmailrc to trap and redirect incoming mail on your server.
I have done this with procmailrc before but it really depends on what service is handling the incoming mail.
There is no problem calling a CLI PHP script as suggested by #George to then read your recipients from the database and do the sending.
While Arthur's answer made sense and most likely would work, I ended up finding that my host had the feature I was looking for buried deep inside it. For those who were wondering, it is called discussion lists.
Currently I'm writing a web interface which is full of data. I would like to export this data as an e-mail template, so you can edit the e-mail afterwards.
Is there a format such as *.oft, which can be read by all email programs?
I know that there is such a function in HTML (<a href="mailto:[...]">). Since the e-mail text is very long and I want to attach files, this doesn't seems to be a good solution.
Can someone help me?
There's no such format as you're looking for. The internet engineers who design email protocols and format concern themselves with what goes out over the network, but not with what's internal to the machine. Email is highly interoperable when sending and receiving messages as a result, but there's no analogous standards body for internal API's. Sometimes there are de facto standards that arise from a imitating the behavior of popular piece of software, but that hasn't happened for the email feature you're looking for.
Maybe you mean .EML files? I remember that this file can be opened with nearly all e-mail clients such as Outlook, Thunderbird etc.
As far as I can tell you can go one of two ways:
1 - Use a prebuilt solution such as the one by these guys at postageapp.com their API looks pretty simple and does everything you want to achieve.
2 - More time consuming, but you can create your own templete using PHP. I would go for something along these lines. This is a very simple way of doing it. You could write your own CSS in the head and go nuts. Just remember that tables are king when it comes to HTML email :) Once the template has been written, you could just pass through the $content to fill it....
sender.php
<?php
$email = "Hello, \n";
$email.= "Very <strong>impressed</strong> with your email! \n\n";
$email.= "Faithfully\n";
$email.= "Mr Example\n";
$to = "me#me.me"; // <-- Set this as yours for testing...
$from = "someone#nice.me";
$subject = "An email";
$headers = "From: Someone nice <" . $from . ">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". $from . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= nl2br($email); // <---- if your email contains newline characters - it will convert them to <br />
$message .= '<br />www.example.com';
$message .= "</body></html>";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
// ADD LOTS OF PROTECTION IF NOT HARD CODING :)
?>
To extend this - if you for example use Gmail, then you could use Google's SMTP to send it - so that the email wouldn't say 'Sent on behalf of'.
Just create a email using HTML without CSS. Any data or binary can be passed through PHP and then emailed to the recipient.
To get you started, Create a file using fopen();. PHP has other functions that would allow you to edit, open, search&replace and even convert a file to a format of your choice. This is equivalent to a .oft file if not better, because all emails are be sent in text or a html equivalent regardless of the email client.
If you'd would like some more info on how to create this, let me know.
1, I tried to send e-mail in PHP to my Facebook group email, but these updates, doesn't appear. If I send the e-mail from my yahoo mail, it posted instantly. What kind of information should I add to the mail header?
2, Is is possible to add images as attachments?
My current mail sender code is:
<?php
$to = "mygroup#groups.facebook.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "me#yahoo.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo "Mail Sent.";
?>
Does the email need to come from "me#yahoo.com"? Because Yahoo mail uses SPF, which Facebook can use to verify that your email didn't actually come from there, and discard your email as a spoofing attempt.
If the email needs to come from me#yahoo.com, you'll need to connect to Yahoo mail through SMTP, and pass your username and password through, and legitimately send your email from there.
As for image attachments, it's possible.
EDIT: As per the lovely DaveRandom's comment, the following PHP packages should make your job MUCH easier: PHPMailer or SwiftMailer
I'm looking to create a form on my website where users can enter their email address and a message (however long). Then upon clicking on a submit button, the code, sends the message as an email to my mailbox.
I was wondering if someone knew what code i could use. I am using PHP as my server-side language.
You need to have access to an smtp server somewhere. Assuming you do, use the php mail function to send the mail like so:
$Name = "John doe"; //senders name
$email = "email#adress.com"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "recipient#emailadress.com"; //recipient
$mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "Subject for receiver"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
The smtp server is set in the php.ini file in these two lines:
SMTP = servername
smtp_port = 25
More information at w3schools site.
while the above two answers provide a basic email sending suggestion, there's one thing you should consider, the codes are not secure. spammers can inject Cc: codes and send spam using the form. if they do, your smtp provider may ban your account. try a dedicated mailer, like phpmailer
Try to use PHPForms. It is an ultimate web form builder that allows to create professionally looking email forms within just a few minutes. You will only need to create a PHP form by means of an intuitive interface and generate a code that can be easily copied and pasted to any web page.
