Sending Email to gmail account using PHP - php

I am trying to send mail to gmail account from my web site. It seems that everything is fine at the code level. Can you guys please look into this issue: even if i run this script, mail is not received to gmail Account.
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
ini_set('SMTP','localhost');
$msg='Name : '.$_POST['name']."\n"
.'Email : '.$_POST['email']."\n"
.'Message : '.$_POST['message'];
mail("aa#gmail.com","Message from Contact Us",$msg);
}
else{
echo 'cannot send email';
}
?>

I think you will install phpmailer(http://pear.php.net/) and then send through smtp here is example code:
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = '<from#gmail.com>';
$to = '<to#yahoo.com>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$headers = array(
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => '465',
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'your gmail ',
'password' => 'your password'
));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
echo('<p>Message successfully sent!</p>');

Pear Php smtp relay server issue hosted iat GoDaddy

I have an HTML form for a website hosted on GoDaddy, I'm trying to allow users to use a contact form to contact me via my website, I've created an smtp PHP script however it doesn't seem to work, the script runs and the page reloads but I haven't received any income mail for this test.
<?php
include('Mail.php');
$host = 'localhost';
$username = '******#***********.com';
$password = '*******';
$subject = 'Test';
$from = '******#*********.com';
$to = '******.*******#***.com';
$cc = 'person to CC';
$recipients = $to . ", " . $cc; //
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Cc' => $cc,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => false,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password,
'port' => '25'
));
$mail = $smtp->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
if ( PEAR::isError($mail) ) {
echo("<p>Error sending mail:<br/>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message sent.</p>");
}
header("Location:contact-us.html");
?>

Add $_POST['url'] to body of email Pear package?

I need my php script to email me some variables which is parsed to it.
I receive the email properly when any text is passed:
mypage.php?url=hello
But I do not receive the email if an url is passed:
mypage.php?url=http://www.google.com
I searched for hours but didn't found any way to do it.
This is the php script:
<?php
// Pear Mail Library
require_once "Mail.php";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$from = '<noreply#website.com>';
$to = '<me#gmail.com>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = '
Name: '.$name.'
The url is: '.$url.'
';
$headers = array(
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => '465',
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'mail#gmail.com',
'password' => 'password'
));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
echo('<h1>Message successfully sent!</h1>');
}
?>
When an actual url is parsed, I don't recive the email but also no error is shown.
As #Xorifelse said, I used addslashes function and it worked. I got the email properly with the url in it.
Below is the working script:
<?php
// Pear Mail Library
require_once "Mail.php";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$url = $_POST['url'];
$from = '<noreply#website.com>';
$to = '<me#gmail.com>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = '
Name: '.addslashes($name).'
The url is: '.addslashes($url).'
';
$headers = array(
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => '465',
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'mail#gmail.com',
'password' => 'password'
));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
echo('<h1>Message successfully sent!</h1>');
}
?>

Sending mail via pear mail

Sorry for my English.
I’m trying to sent e-mai via Mail pear packet:
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = '<frommail#gmail.com>';
$to = '<tomail#vacant.lv>';
$subject = 'Hi!';
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$headers = array(
'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject
);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => '465',
'auth' => true,
'username' => 'frommail#gmail.com',
'password' => 'pass'
));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo('<p>' . $mail->getMessage() . '</p>');
} else {
echo('<p>Message successfully sent!</p>');
}
//email addresses are changed
But in result I have error:
Failed to connect to ssl://smtp.gmail.com:465 [SMTP: Failed to connect socket: Permission denied (code: -1, response: )]
Openssl is enabled.
Thanks you.
At some stage you might want to send an HTML email, so you would also need to use the Mail/mime package that is provided by PEAR. I've included that as well.
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
require_once "Mail/mime.php";
$from = "<noreply#example.com>";
$to = "fred#example.com"; // the email address
$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "587";
// use the first example username if sending from gmail, as full email address
// is required
$username = "fred.flintstone#gmail.com";
$username = "fred";
$password = "secure";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,'To' => $to,'Subject' => $subject);
$mailbody = "<html><body>...</body></html>";
$mime = new Mail_mime();
$mime->setHTMLBody($mailbody);
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$smtp = Mail::factory(
'smtp',array (
'host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password,
'port' => $port
)
);
// send email
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo($mail->getMessage());
} else {
echo "<b><Center>Succesfully sent email to</b>$to</center>";
}

Pear Mail not sending; connection_status = 0

I'm trying to send mail with Gmail as server. The email is never sent, and no confirmation or error messages given. Mail, Net_SMTP and Net_Socket pear packages are installed. I set the proxy, and can connect to the internet via cmd. The echo after the "send" never appears, but the one before does, which means the connection status is null. Can anyone see what I'm missing/misunderstanding?
php:
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
error_reporting(0);
$human = $_POST['human'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$to = 'toreceive#gmail.com';
$body = "$message";
$header = array (
'From' => 'tosend#gmail.com',
'Subject' => 'Hello'
);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp', array(
'auth' => true,
'host' => 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com',
'port' => '465',
'username' => 'username#gmail.com',
'password' => 'password',
'charset' => 'iso-8859-1'
));
if (connection_status == 0)
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('Before Mail');</script>";
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $header, $body);
echo "<script type='text/javascript'>alert('After Mail');</script>";
if (#PEAR::isError($mail))
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
else
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>
relevant php.ini:
[mail function]
SMTP = localhost
smtp_port = 25
extension=php_openssl.dll
extension=php_sockets.dll

Date not in mail

I have the following script to send email using SMTP authentication. Everything works fine but date is not shown in my inbox for this mail. It is marked as '?'. Can anybody help me?
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "test#example";
$to = $mailto;
$subject = $subject;
$body = $msg;
$host = "test.com";
$username = "uname";
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject,
'Content-type'=>'text/html');
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
//echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
return false;
} else {
//echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
return true;
}
The from,host,username and password values shown here are only test values for security.
Is it any problem with mail headers?
solved it? this worked for me, i just added in the headers array:
'Date' => date('r', time()),
