email sending on php form registration - php

Question

Can't seem to get thhis script work. Although registration part works fine and data gets inserted but shows error in result page:
Not found your email in our databaseCannot send Confirmation link to your e-mail address
Code:
<?php
$con=mysqli_connect("localhost","","");
if (!$con) { die("Database connection failed: " . mysqli_error());}
$db_select=mysqli_select_db($con, "");
if (!$db_select) { die("Database selection failed: " . mysqli_error());}
if (isset($_POST['register'])) {
$username = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['user']);
$password1 = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['pass1']);
$password2 = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['pass2']);
$name = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['name']);
$phone = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['phone']);
$email = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,$_POST['email1']);
if(isset($_POST['country'])){ $country = $_POST['country'];}
if(isset($_POST['state'])){ $state = $_POST['state'];}
// Random confirmation code
$confirm_code=md5(uniqid(rand()));
/* Data Insertion & PASSWORD 1 = 2 CHECK */
if($password1==$password2 && !empty($username) && !empty($name) && !empty($phone) && !empty($email) && !empty($country) && !empty($state)){ /* IF PASSWORD1 IS THE SAME WITH PASSWORD2 */
/* INSERT QUERY */
$query = "INSERT INTO temp_users (confirm_code,username,password,name,phone,email,country,state) VALUES ('$confirm_code','$username','$password1','$name','$phone','$email','".$country."','".$state."')";
$result=mysqli_query($con, $query);
if ($result) {
$to = $email;
$subject = "Activate Vacation Rental Link";
// From

$message = "Your Confirmation link \r\n";
$message.="Click on this link to activate your account \r\n";
$message.="https://craigburst.com/confirmation-link-validation.php?passkey=$confirm_code";
// send email
if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)) {

Seeking help on this. Error reporting has been added already.

Answer 1

As my brother from another mother has suggested. You can try this.
Firstly set error reports on to help you debug this further.
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR | MYSQLI_REPORT_STRICT);
That should help you narrow down the cause of your errors.
Now on to your query. As you can see, you're setting your query like this:
$query = mysqli_query($con,"INSERT INTO temp_users (confirm_code,username,password,name,phone,email,country,state) VALUES ('$confirm_code','$username','$password1','$name','$phone','$email','$country','$state')");
$result=mysqli_query($query);
Which means, you're trying to run it like this: mysqli_query(mysqli_query('sql query in here')). That won't work. Try setting it up like this:
$query = "INSERT INTO temp_users (confirm_code,username,password,name,phone,email,country,state) VALUES ('$confirm_code','$username','$password1','$name','$phone','$email','$country','$state')";
$result=mysqli_query($con, $query);
You see how $query is the actual query string and $result runs the query through mysqli_query().
And now keeping in scope, you should do something like this with your code blocks for better management:
if ($result) {
$to = $email;
$subject = "Avtivate Vacation Rental Link";
// From
$header = "VacationByChoice <enquiry#craigburst.com>";
// message
$message = "Your Comfirmation link \r\n";
$message.="Click on this link to activate your account \r\n";
$message.="https://craigburst.com/confirmation-link-validation.php?passkey=$confirm_code";
// send email
if(!mail($to, $subject, $message, $header)) {
echo "Cannot send Confirmation link to your e-mail address";
} else {
echo "Your Confirmation link Has Been Sent To Your Email Address.";
}
} else {
echo "Not found your email in our database";
}
Notice how we removed the whole $sentmail and check mail directly with the if statement.
Does that help you out?
Notes
Just a few side notes; you have a typo here:
$subject="Avtivate Vacation Rental Link";
should be
$subject="Activate Vacation Rental Link";
and
$message="Your Comfirmation link \r\n";
should be
$message="Your Confirmation link \r\n";
Just had to be picky or Fred will beat me:P
