I'm trying to set up a contact form for a client who wish to link the data from the form into their Goldmine system.
There is a 3rd party company who have sent me a sample contact form and a sample PHPMailer script, but when I test this script on the client's website it sends out the email, but as an attachment rather than in the body of the email.
I've looked at the PHPMailer script and I cannot see anywhere that references adding attachments so I'm puzzled as to whether there is something in the PHPMailer script I've not seen, or if this is some sort of server setting when the email is being sent? Any help would be appreciated.
The PHPMailer script has $Body which it just keeps adding each part of the form input to and then finally ends with what looks like the relevant bit of code to send the email:
ini_set("SMTP", Decode($SMTP));
if(mail(Decode($SendToEmail), $ToSubject, $Body, "From: GoldMine WebImport <no-reply#xxxxxxx>\r\nContent-Type: text/x-gm-impdata\r\n" )) {
print "Your data has been recorded successfully!\n\n<!--\n".Decode($SendToEmail)."\n".$ToSubject."\n".$Body."\n\n".$OutputAs."\n\n-->";
}
else
{print("There was a mailer failure.\n\n<!--\n".$Body."\n\n-->");}
}
else
{echo "There was no form data passed.";}
EDIT: I should also mention that I've been using Tectite's Formmail system for the same client on their existing contact forms and that sends the email with the content in the main body of the email as it is supposed to. I only seem to be having this problem with PHPMailer, but I can't use Formmail for sending the right info to the Goldmine system.

I am sending an e-mail from my php code when certain events occur (i.e., someone posts a reply to a message on my message board). I used this simple code:
mail (me#aol.com, 'Someone Just Posted a Reply.', 'Check the message board, because someone just posted a reply.');
The code executes and I do receive an e-mail. The problem is that when I get the e-mail, the "from" line in the e-mail gives away my cpanel login for my GoDaddy hosting account. I cannot seem to find anything on GoDaddy's site that explains how to disguise this or change this to just reflect the name of my website rather than give away my login to all users every time I send a push notification.
You have to use the headers in the PHP's mail() function's additional_headers parameters to add more stuff, but this may possibly cause deliverability issues.
This is typically used to add extra headers (From, Cc, and Bcc). Multiple extra headers should be separated with a CRLF (\r\n). If outside data are used to compose this header, the data should be sanitized so that no unwanted headers could be injected.
With above being said, your updated code should look something like:
<?php
$headers = array(
'From' => 'webmaster#example.com', // Add your from address.
'Reply-To' => 'webmaster#example.com', // Add your reply to address.
'X-Mailer' => 'PHP/' . phpversion() // Optional stuff.
);
mail(
"me#aol.com",
"Someone Just Posted a Reply.",
"Check the message board, because someone just posted a reply.",
$headers // This way
);
Note: Make sure the above code is written in a single line. 😇
I've been searching for days if not weeks on how to automatically send a simple e-mail in php after a user completes my form. I've tried Pear, PHP mail, Swiftmailer, changed my php.ini, tried different servers and I'm going mad from none of it working. I have not successfully sent one e-mail yet. I've searched endlessly but I still have no idea what to do and why nothing is working.
At the moment I'm using Swiftmailer (second time round). I set up a test page with code:
<?php
require_once 'swift/lib/swift_required.php';
// CREATE TRANSPORT CONFIG
$transport = Swift_MailTransport::newInstance();
// CREATE MSG
$message = Swift_Message::newInstance();
// SET PRIORITY TO HIGH
$message->setPriority(2);
// SUBJECT
$message->setSubject('Subject');
// FROM
$message->setFrom(array('example#btopenworld.com'));
// TO
$message->setTo(array('example#googlemail.com'));
// EMAIL BODY
$message->setBody('Test');
// SEND
$mailer = Swift_Mailer::newInstance($transport);
$mailer->send($message);
if (!$mailer->send($message, $failures)) {
echo "Failures:";
print_r($failures);
}
?>
Looking at a similar post someone suggested the last part of the code to see errors and my error is:
Failures:Array ( [0] => example#googlemail.com )
No matter what e-mail I change it to (all using e-mails I have, so real e-mails) it doesn't work. If anyone has any help or suggestions it would be hugely appreciated.
example#btopenworld.com
Unless you are using a btopenworld server to send the E-Mail from, this is not going to work. The E-Mails from address needs to be associated with the server you are sending the message from. You can put the BT address into the reply-to header.
Also, SwiftMailer should have a "debug" switch telling you exactly what goes wrong, but I can't find it in the docs right now. Here is a logger plugin for Swiftmailer that should help if all else fails.
I am sending emails with phpmailer package and using the package with codeigniter framework. I have made a helper function out of the phpmailer package which takes arguments as sender's address, recipient's address, subject and message body. Everything goes fine and the message is delivered to the inbox.
My problem is I have a large body which can be a seperate html file. For this I have created a view and I am trying to send the argument $this->load->view('viewname'); through the helper function in my controller. But instead of displaying the body in mail I get the file displayed on my final view page and the mail body goes blank. Any idea how I can achieve
Using $this->load->view('viewname'); without any additional parameters will output the view. What you need is to set the third parameter to TRUE as suggested in the Returning views as data of the CodeIgniter User Guide's View documentation.
Example:
$string = $this->load->view('viewname', '', true);
This question should have a simple, simple answer, but I just can't seem to get it working. Here's the scenario:
I created a php page -> this one: http://adianl.ca/pages/member_application.php. Once the form is completed, it proceeds to http://adianl.ca/pages/member_application_action.php, puts the data into a MySQL db, & thanks the user for their interest. Anyway, the form works perfectly, except for one little thing: whenever someone fills out that form, I want an email to be sent to sbeattie#adianl.ca, informing them that the form was filled out, & the email would include the form components. The problem is, I can NOT get an email to be sent to that address, or any address truth be told. Having a php page send an email should be a simple thing to do, but it's really baffling me.
Can anyone help me with this? This particular problem has been troubling me since yesterday, & if anyone can help me with this...man, thank you soooooo much.

$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "mail.adianl.ca"; // SMTP server $mail->From = "webadmin#adianl.ca";
$mail->FromName = "Web Administration [ADIANL]";
$mail->AddAddress("sbeattie#adianl.ca");
$mail->AddCC("justinwparsons#gmail.com"); the #messageBody variable is just a string
If you want to have the email sent using the server's sendmail client, you can use mail.
If you want it to use another mail server, there are extensions to connect to an SMTP server. I use PHPMailer.
If mail doesn't work, it could be that the server is not set up to send email, or it could be that the mail server is rejecting emails sent from php, amongst other reasons.
this code can also be used to email in php so have a look, you can find many more examples of emailing in php look around
?php
$to = "recipient#example.com";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body)) {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message delivery failed...</p>");
}
I am using Zend Framework to send mail.
It's doing something very odd, the content type, content dispostion, MIME version and content type encoding are all showing up in the header section (under the subject) of the email in GMail and in Outlook.
The content of the email was also being included twice in the email, once as plain text and once as HTML. I stopped this by just using setBodyText() instead of using setBodyHtml() too. I had seen somewhere that you can use both. Now I just use setBodyText() like this
$mail = new Zend_Mail('utf-8');
$mail->addTo("mail#mail.com");
$mail->setSubject("Registration info");
$mail->setFrom('do-not-reply#mail.com', "A Name");
$mail->setBodyText($this->view->render('emails/register.phtml'));
$mail->send();
This has been solved. It was an error with the host receiving the email. The fact it was in Outlook or GMail made no difference as the error was with the host.
