not able to send emails on gmail - php

I am able to send email to other emails are yahoo,hotmail,rediff but not able to send email on gmail.
Below is my code
<?php
// the message
$msg = "test text";
// send email
if(mail("myemail#gmail.com","My subject",$msg)){
echo "dsaf";
}
?>
How can I fix this issue.

Most mail services will filter out messages send by PHP mail(). Pear mail, on the other hand, allows for you to actually login to the gmail SMTP server when sending mail. This mail won't be filtered. Make sure when doing so that you alter your gmail settings to allow for less secure clients.

You have to enable SMTP relay service setting https://support.google.com/a/answer/2956491

https://support.google.com/a/answer/176600?hl=en

Try this code.
$to = 'somemail#gmail.com';
$name = "John Doe";
$email = "john.doe#yahoo.com";
$message = "Test Message";
$subject = "Message from ".$name;
$message = $name . " ( ". $email . " ) wrote the following:" . "\n\n" . $message;
$headers = "From:" . $email;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

mail.php script not working for subscribe and contact page [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
PHP mail function doesn't complete sending of e-mail
(31 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
My web developer made this script to send notifications to people subscribing to my mailing list and the people who contact me, through the form on my website
The problem is, the recipients are not able to receive the emails, and I am not able to receive the notification on my mail id about a new subscriber or a contact
Sender id - notifications#llaveshagarwal.com
Moreover, the same script works on his server (which we used for testing) but doesn't work on my server
Is there a problem with my SMTP server settings ?
Also, I am using Google Apps for Gmail
Here is his script
What should I do ?
<?php
if($_POST['type'] == "subscribe") {
/*$to = "notifications#llaveshagarwal.com";
$subject = "New Email Subscriber";
$txt = "Name: ".$_POST['name']."\r\nFrom: ".$_POST['from'];
$headers = "From: ".$_POST['from'];
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);
$to = $_POST['from'];
$subject = "Thank you for subscribing with us.";
$txt = "Hey ".$_POST['name']." ,\r\nGreetings from LLavesh Agarwal Textile Agency\r\nThank you for subscribing with us for Exclusive and Latest Catalogs and product launches.\r\nWe will update you soon.\r\n\r\nRegards,\r\nTeam LLavesh Agarwal\r\n\r\n*This is an automated Email. Please do not reply to this Email id. If you wish to talk to us, kindly Email us at hello#llaveshagarwal.com";
$headers = "From: notifications#llaveshagarwal.com";
mail($to,$subject,$txt,$headers);*/
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'llavesha_admin', 'Admin#1234');
$db= mysql_select_db('llavesha_contact_system', $link);
$insert='insert into subscribe (name,email) values ("'.$_POST["name"].'","'.$_POST["from"].'")';
if(mysql_query($insert)) {
echo "success";
} else {
echo "fail";
}
}
elseif($_POST['type'] == "contact") {
$to = "notifications#llaveshagarwal.com";
$subject = "New Contact";
$txt = "Name: ".$_POST['name']."\r\nContact: ".$_POST['mobile']."\r\nCategory: ".$_POST['bussiness_type']."\r\nDescription: ".$_POST['project_detail'];

Are you working on windows (wamp)? Have you enabling php sendmail on php.ini? read: http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
or you can read: php mail() function on localhost
If you want to make it simpler, use phpmailer instead: https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
How to use it by #pooria: How to configure PHP to send e-mail?
require('./PHPMailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$mail=new PHPMailer();
$mail->CharSet = 'UTF-8';
$body = 'This is the message';
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'me.sender#gmail.com';
$mail->Password = '123!##';
$mail->SetFrom('me.sender#gmail.com', $name);
$mail->AddReplyTo('no-reply#mycomp.com','no-reply');
$mail->Subject = 'subject';
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress('abc1#gmail.com', 'title1');
$mail->AddAddress('abc2#gmail.com', 'title2'); /* ... */
$mail->AddAttachment($fileName);
$mail->send();

PHP mail function is not working?

$to = 'abc#xyz.com';
$subject = 'Feedback';
$finalmessage = "";
$from = 'def#ghi.com';
$finalmessage = $name . $address . $phnum . $email . $feedback;
$finalmessage = wordwrap($finalmessage, 70);
$mail=mail($to,$subject,$finalmessage,"From: $from\n");
if($mail){
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}else{
echo "Mail sending failed.";
}
Thats the code. At the end it displays "Thank you for using our mail form", but i am not receiving any mail. Any ideas whats going wrong?
if(isset($_POST['Submit'])){
$to="email";
// this is your Email address
$from = $_POST['Email_Address']; // this is the sender's Email address
$first_name = $_POST['Full_Name'];
$tel_num=$_POST['Telephone_Number'];
$msg=$_POST['Your_Message'];
$subject = "Full Name : ".$first_name;
$headers = "From: ".$first_name." <".$from.">\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$message="Full Name : ".$first_name."<br><br>Telephone Number : ".$tel_num."<br><br>Message : ".$msg;
$bericht = nl2br($message);
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}
You need to configure SMTP settings of your local server in php.ini file as follows:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost // your smtp server
smtp_port = 25
Or you should give try to Swift Mailer or PHP Mailer
Try using fake sendmail to send emails in a windows enviroment.
http://jesin.tk/using-sendmail-on-windows/
Use php mailer() function
You can use PHPmailer :
http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/
Now
use following code -
<?php
require("class.phpmailer.php"); // give proper path of folder if needed
$mail = new PHPMailer();
session_start();
ob_start();
php?>
<your mail body goes here>
<?php
$body=ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean ();
$to = 'abc#xyz.com';
$subject = 'Feedback';
$finalmessage = "";
$from = 'def#ghi.com';
$finalmessage = $name . $address . $phnum . $email . $feedback;
$finalmessage = wordwrap($finalmessage, 70);
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail=mail($to,$subject,$finalmessage,"From: $from\n");
if($mail){
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}else{
echo "Mail sending failed.";
}
You need to configure your mail SMTP in php.ini
It's quite simple, what is your ISP? For example, in comcast, just search in Google "comcast smtp address and port"
Take note of the SMTP address and Port, then go to your php.ini
Search for this configuration:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost // your smtp server
smtp_port = 25
Change the address with the SMTP and smtp_port. Then you should be able to send emails in your localhost

phpmailer doesn't send important information (email address entry)

Someone built this site for me and I have no idea about php and which part I should fix :S
Basically I have this single text entry form on my site which users can enter in their email address to that form and once they send submit I'll get the email address they input in.
The dev used phpmailer and at the moment when someone submitted their email address, I don't get any of their email address. The only entry/ email content I get is from "me" and a content of "Thank you. We'll update you as soon as possible."
This is the sendmail.php on the root folder:
<?php
$from = "ask#michaelfrieda2014.com";
if (isset($_REQUEST['email']) && $_REQUEST['email'] != '')
{
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
sendMailSingup($from, $email);
sendMailSingup($from, "ask#michaelfrieda2014.com");
}
function sendMailSingup($from, $to)
{
include_once('phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = "Thank you. We'll update you a soon as possible.";
$mail->From = "$from";
$mail->FromName = "";
$mail->Subject = "Thank you!";
$mail->AltBody = "Thank you!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$mail->AddAddress("$to", "");
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
#echo "Message sent!";
echo 1;
}
}
How do I make it so that I get the important information? (Their email address sent to my email). Am I missing something?
Thanks!
Below this line...
$body = "Thank you. We'll update you a soon as possible.";
add:
$body .= "<br><br>Sent from: $to";
(note the .= -- this will append to the $body variable)
If you want to fix the reply-to address, add this line:
$mail->AddReplyTo($to, $to);
before:
$mail->From = "$from";

mail() function not working - How to resolve it?

mail() function is not working on my server. I have used basic mail() code to know whether its the problem of script. Still it didn't send email. Somebody advised me to change the setting on my server to enable mail() function or something like that.
How can I do that? How can I know that my server allows mail() or it runs mail() properly?
Any advice?
If you using phpmailer Library, you cant use mail(). Because it has predefined function. You can check that by visiting PhpMailer Example Page.
PhpMailer use $mail->Send() instead of mail()
Sample code of PhpMailer
require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$body = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = "mail.yourdomain.com"; // sets the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 26; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "yourname#yourdomain"; // SMTP account username
$mail->Password = "yourpassword"; // SMTP account password
$mail->SetFrom('name#yourdomain.com', 'First Last');
$mail->AddReplyTo("name#yourdomain.com","First Last");
$mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp, basic with authentication";
$mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "whoto#otherdomain.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}
If you are on a shared server fisrt i advise you to contact with them if they are responsible for it. if it was sending emails before it could be something you could cause and you may need to change your code.
you did not provide any sample code but here is mine, try it:
$to= "$confoemail";
$subject="Your Contact Request at somewebsite.Com";
$message= "the message to send";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n".
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n".
'From: justin#webmasteroutlet.com' . "\r\n" . //that code here //perfectly works, search if the code is built -in of php.
'Reply-To: justin#webmasteroutlet.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to,$subject, $message, $headers);
What operating system are you running?
On ubuntu, you might try to install a mail server (postfix or sendmail).
apt-get install postfix
Test this on your hosting, if it doesn't work your hosting has mail disabled. which most free services do block. message me for a free small hosting for ur tests.
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];;
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];
$name = "somename"; $email="test#test.com"; $phone="1111111111" $subject="test"; $message="the message";
$to = 'info#fullertoncomputerepairwebdesign.com';
$subject = 'Message From Website';
$headers = 'From: info#fullertoncomputerepairwebdesign.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: info#fullertoncomputerepairwebdesign.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$themessage = "Name: ".$name."</br>Email: ".$email."</br>Phone: ".
$phone."</br>Subject: ".$subject.
"</br>Message: ".$message;
//echo $themessage;
mail($to, $subject, $themessage, $headers);

unable to send mail via php

I am trying to send mail using php.And i am using WampServer.
so i tried the following code
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com" );
ini_set("smtp_port","465");
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'person1#gmail.com');
$to = "person2#gmail.com";
$subject = "Test mail";
$message = "Hello! This is a simple email message.";
$from = "person1#gmail.com";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
$retval = mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
if( $retval == true )
{
echo "Message sent successfully...";
}
else
{
echo "Message could not be sent...";
}
but it take more time to connect and says could not connect with localhost.
Please help me in solving the problem
try this configuration:
http://blog.techwheels.net/send-email-from-localhost-wamp-server-using-sendmail/
this might help.
somehow, instead of "smtp.gmail.com", for me it works with "ssl:smtp.gmail.com"
This line:
ini_set("SMTP","smtp.gmail.com" );
should be
ini_set("SMTP","ssl:smtp.gmail.com" );
Also, see this response to a similar question: Send email using the GMail SMTP server from a PHP page
You're trying to send mail from your localhost (Your PC) I guess It's not setup to send mail. Move the script to a production server and it will work
