How can I send an email to multiple email addresses? Right now this index.php page is being hosted online, and it connects to a send.php page, and I'd like to add another email text field that would be used to also send an email to the address entered in it.
Currently it sends an email to one email address that is entered in the email field in the form.
Index.php
<form id="contactus" method="post" action="send.php">
<input type="name" name="name" class="form-control" placeholder="Name" required>. <br/><br/>
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required>. <br/><br/>
<input type="name" name="name2" class="form-control" placeholder="Player 2's Email Address" required><br/><br/>
<textarea name="message" class="form-control" placeholder="What Is Your Question?" required></textarea><br/><br/>
<input type="hidden" name="phone2">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Send Email</button>
<br><br>
</form>
Send.php

} catch (Exception $e) {
echo "Message could not be sent. Mailer Error: {$mail->ErrorInfo}";
}
}

This is pretty simple - if you follow the code, you just need to duplicate some lines.
Duplicate your form field
<input type="email" name="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required>
<input type="email" name="email_2" class="form-control" placeholder="Email" required>
Duplicate your validation
$email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
$email_2 = filter_var($_POST['email_2'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
Duplicate the 'Add Address'
$mail->addAddress($email);
$mail->addAddress($email_2);
Fore readability sake in the code use an array and implode it to a comma separated string:-
$recipients = array(
"youremailaddress#yourdomain.com",
// more emails
);
$email_to = implode(',', $recipients); // your email address
$email_subject = "Contact Form Message"; // email subject line
$thankyou = "thankyou.htm"; // thank you page
I have this simple bootstrap form that i run on my localhost, it accepts name email and message and a custom captcha in a form of a math question; On submit i used jquery ajax to fetch the data to emailme.php that contains the phpmailer code.. My problem is, no email was sent even if there's no error and the network status is 200 and i can also see this:
http://localhost/emailme.php?name=myname&email=myemail#gmail.com&message=test
however it works if i just use the phpmailer stand alone code with fixed values. how can i make it work?
HTML:
<form id="emailme" method="post">
<div class="form-group">

<div class="form-group">

I am currently working on a quote form. After submitting the form, there was an email set to send submitted record back to client as copy. However, as I was using Mandrill for transaction emails, it's no longer free. I don't want to use any paid service and am now looking to send the same email using PHPMailer. I am finding it difficult to understand to call php to send email. Any help? I am open for options. All I want to send email after form submits.
email.js
function finalize_things(data, order_id){
//posting data to the server side page
$.post(window.location.origin+'/post/', data,function(response){
if(response == 'success'){
console.log(response);
send_email(order_id, data.email, data.firstname, data.project_details, data.file_names);
} else {
console.log(response);
alert('order not placed.');}
});
}
function send_email(order_id, email, firstname, project_details, file_names){
var html_message = "message here"
data = {
"key": "xxxxxxxxx",
"message": {
"html": html_message,
"text": "",
"subject": "Your subject",
"from_email": "test#test.com",
"from_name": "Company name",
"to": [{
"email": email,
"name": firstname
}
]},
"async": false
};
$.ajax({url: 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json',
type: 'POST',
data: data,
success: function(resp){
console.log(resp); }
});
PHPMAILER Code:
include_once '/../../PHPMailer/cms_db.php';
require_once '/../../PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
require_once '/../../PHPMailer/config.php';
if (isset($_POST["email"]) && !empty($_POST["email"])) {
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP(); // Set mailer to use SMTP
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // Enable SMTP authentication
$mail->Host = $smtp_server; // Specify main and backup SMTP servers
$mail->Username = $username; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = $password; // SMTP password
$mail->SMTPSecure = "tls"; // Enable TLS encryption, `ssl` also accepted
$mail->Port = 587; // TCP port to connect to
$mail->setFrom("companyemail#xyz.com", "Company Name");
$mail->addAddress($email, $firstname); // Add a recipient
$mail->isHTML(true); // Set email format to HTML
$bodyContent = "test message";
$mail->Subject = "Your Quote ID";
$mail->Body = $bodyContent;
$mail->AltBody = $bodyContent;
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo "Message could not be sent.";
$error = '<div class="alert alert-danger"><strong>Mailer Error: '. $mail->ErrorInfo.'</strong></div>';
} else {
$error = '<div class="alert alert-success"><strong>Message has been sent</strong></div>';
}
}
So, if you don't want to use external services like gmail... You need to set up your own mail server (postfix, sendmail etc.) Please note, that webservers very often has potfix onboard (httpd + php + mysql + postfix) already.
Has your hosting postfix already? Check this by using standard mail function, php script like :
<?php
$to = 'yourmail#gmail.com';
$subject = 'test subj';
$mail_body = 'test body';
mail($to, $subject, $mail_body);
?>
If it works -- write your own script based on this code or use phpmailer (it has settings for local mail daemon)
PS PHPMailer can send mail via extenal webserver, like gmail https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer/blob/master/examples/gmail.phps (key line here: $mail->isSMTP();) or via local server, such as postfix -- see example here -- key line is $mail->isSendmail();
and your current code snippet is for using EXTERNAL service, not for LOCAL!
Changes in your js this line:
$.ajax({url: 'https://mandrillapp.com/api/1.0/messages/send.json',
to:
$.ajax({url: 'http://yourserver.tld/send_phpmailer.php',
And use something like this in send_phpmailer.php:
<?php
////// Part 1. Set up variables
$key = $_POST['key']; // need for mandrill, you can omit this
$html = $_POST['message']['html'];
$text = $_POST['message']['text'];
$subject = $_POST['message']['subject'];
$from_email = $_POST['message']['from_email'];
$from_name = $_POST['message']['from_name'];
$to_email = $_POST['message']['to']['email'];
$to_name = $_POST['message']['to']['name'];
////// Part 2. Including PHPMailer
include_once '/../../PHPMailer/cms_db.php';
require_once '/../../PHPMailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
require_once '/../../PHPMailer/config.php';
////// Part 3. Sending letter by PHPMailer
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
//Enable SMTP debugging
// 0 = off (for production use)
// 1 = client messages
// 2 = client and server messages
$mail->SMTPDebug = 2;
$mail->Debugoutput = 'html';
$mail->Host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = "username#gmail.com";
$mail->Password = "yourpassword";
//Set who the message is to be sent from
$mail->setFrom( $from_email, $from_name);
//Set an alternative reply-to address
//$mail->addReplyTo('replyto#example.com', 'First Last');
//Set who the message is to be sent to
$mail->addAddress($to_email, $to_name);
//Set the subject line
$mail->Subject = $subject;
//Read an HTML message body from an external file, convert referenced images to embedded,
//convert HTML into a basic plain-text alternative body
$mail->msgHTML($html);
//Replace the plain text body with one created manually
$mail->AltBody = $text;
//Attach an image file
//$mail->addAttachment('images/phpmailer_mini.png');
//send the message, check for errors
if (!$mail->send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}

i am trying to send a random number to an email but unable to this is the code that i have been able to come up with so far
please help if possible
sendmail.php
$to = $_POST['email'];
$header ='From:admin#domain.com';
$subject ='Verification Code';
if(empty($to))
{
echo "Email is Empty";
}
else
{
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$header)){
echo 'Check Your Email FOr verfication code';
}
else{
echo 'Failed';
}
}
index.php
<form action = "register.php" method="POST">
<p>Username</p>
<input type="text" name="username" maxlength="40" value='<?php if(isset($username)) echo $username ?>'"><br>
<p>New Password</p>
<input type="password" name="password">
<p>email</p>
<input type="text" name="email" maxlength="40" value='<?php if(isset($email)) echo $email ?>'"> <br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Register"> <br><br>
</form>
In form(index.php)
<form action="sendmail.php" method="post">
<lable>email</lable>>
<input type="text" name="email" maxlength="40">
<br>
<input type="submit" value="Register">
</form>
In sendmail.php
$rand= rand(10, 20)// random number generator
$to = $_POST['email'];
$header ='From:admin#domain.com';
$subject ='Verification Code';
$message = "Your Random number is";
$message .= $rand;
$message .= "Thank you-Admin";
if(empty($to))
{
echo "Email is Empty";
}
else
{
if (mail($to,$subject,$message,$header)){
echo 'Check Your Email FOr verfication code';
}
else{
echo 'Failed';
}
}
You forgot to add semicolon at the end of first line
$rand= mt_rand(100000, 999999)
It should be
$rand= mt_rand(100000, 999999);
I think the hosting service that You're using does not accept sending using mail() functions. Maybe for security reasons to prevent virus-like php scripts to send spams from Your account.
So create admin#domain.com email account and using PHPMailer send Your email:
require __DIR__.'/phpmailer/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
$mail = new PHPMailer;
$mail->isSMTP();
$mail->Host = 'smtp.hostname.com';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'no-reply#domain.com';
$mail->Password = 'secret';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 587;
$mail->setFrom('admin#domain.com');
$mail->addAddress($to);
$mail->isHTML(true);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}

I am brand new to phpmailer.. i have made some progress by creating a simple form that allows users to send emails to our inbox:
<form id="contact-form" class="contact-form" method="post" action="send-mail.php">
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" tabindex="1">
<input type="text" name="subject" id="trade" placeholder="Your Trade" tabindex="3">
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" placeholder="Your Email" tabindex="2">
<input type="text" name="number" id="number" placeholder="Contact Number" tabindex="4">
<textarea id="message" rows="8" name="message" placeholder="Message" tabindex="5"></textarea>
<div class="grid-col one-whole">
<button type="submit">Send Your Message</button>
</div>
</form>
.php:
<?php
require('PHPFiles/PHPMailerAutoload.php');
require('PHPFiles/class.smtp.php');
require('PHPFiles/class.phpmailer.php');
$mail = new PHPMailer;
//$mail->SMTPDebug = 3;
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->Host = '74.208.5.2';
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
$mail->Username = 'info#mydomain.com';
$mail->Password = '*******';
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'tls';
$mail->Port = 25; connect to
$mail->From = isset($_POST["email"]) ? $_POST["email"] : "";
$mail->FromName = isset($_POST["email"]) ? $_POST["email"] : "";
$mail->addAddress('info#mydomain.com');
$mail->Subject = isset($_POST["subject"]) ? $_POST["subject"] : "";
$mail->Body = str_replace("\n",'<br>', $_POST['message']);
$mail->AltBody = 'This is the body in plain text for non-HTML mail clients';
$mail->isHTML(true);
if(!$mail->send()) {
echo 'Message could not be sent.';
echo 'Mailer Error: ' . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo 'Message has been sent';
}
At the moment, the Body of the email contains the contents of the textare field. How can the body contain this, but then also a line break, then, the contents of the number field?
You might want to try this. Make a separate variable for all the data that needs to be in the body of the message.
$message = "Name :- " . $_POST['name'] . "<br>" . " Number :- " . $_POST['number'];
$mail->Body = $message;
so doing it like:
$mail->Body = str_replace('\n','<br />', $_POST['message']);
or:
$mail->Body = str_replace("\\n","<br />", $_POST["message"]);
should fix the problem of string getting the "line breaks".
btw. it`s always good to:
var_dump($data);
die();
to see what are you getting at each step of a code
