I am trying to send emails with HTML content and whenever i pass headers of any kind the method mail() return false but with no headers i get true .. any clue ?
$to = $user->email;
$name = $user->first_name.' '.$user->last_name;
$from = $this->config->item('admin_email', 'ion_auth');
$subject = $this->config->item('site_title', 'ion_auth') . ' - ' . $this->lang->line('email_forgotten_password_subject');
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $from .'>' . " \r\n" .
'Reply-To: '. $from . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
$retval = mail ($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
die(var_dump($retval));
Make sure that variables $name, $from, $to, $subject has the right data and are not empty/null. Your code is functional and should send the email.
If still doesn't work, check the configurations on postfix or what other mail server you're using.
And I suggest to use PhpMailer or SwiftMailer instead of simple mail function.
Try adding a CRLF after your last header. Used to work for me in the olden days.
i.e.,
...
$headers .= 'From: ' . $name . ' <' . $from .'>' . " \r\n" .
'Reply-To: '. $from . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n";
...
Also, the header Content-Type has a capital T. Sometimes, such trivial things may also break it. That's why everyone suggests to move away from it.
That should do it.
Suggestion: Switch to PHPMailer.
I've made a website with a mailing form, and the php to send it is as follows:
<?php
$to = "example#outlook.com";
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
It won't send anything.
Can anyone tell what's wrong in the script?
If it helps on anything, I'm trying to send to an Outlook email.
Thanks
I'm sending a form mail with php.
I need to set the "from:" to the form fields which live in the variables:
$user_name and $user_lastname.
So i tried:
$headers .= 'From: ' . $user_name . " " . $user_lastname . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
But then i get "unknown sender" instead of name and last name.
try this:
$headers .= 'From: "'.$user_name." ".$user_lastname.'"<'.$user_email.'>'."\r\n";
I believe you're simply using the wrong (").
Try this:
$headers .= 'From: '. $user_name .' '. $user_lastname;
$headers .= 'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
Let me know if it isn't working
I have some affiliate script that I buy, however this script doesn't have function to
"Send password and login id to all my affiliate" weekly or maybe once per 2 week.
This is because in my experience he/she do not have many members not coming back because not only forgot password but also forgot username.
I want every month the members get email example
To: cubaan04#hotmail.com
From : admin#admin.com
Subject : Reminder : Your login name and password for website

From our friend answer, i modified it. Yes it send email now but not work like i want, i put
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "plazacen_rak", "rakan852");
mysql_select_db("plazacen_rak",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT email,password,name FROM `affiliate_users`");
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
sendMail($row[0],$row[1],$row[2]);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
function sendMail($to,$pwd,$id){
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'your login name:". $id ." password: ". $pwd ."';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
?>
what I received is email like this;
From : webmaster#example.com
the subject
04/04/2015 9.59 PM
your login name:". $id ." password: ". $pwd ."
it is not change the $id to username in database, so do the $pwd
don't know whats wrong, any further help. TQ
The problem is with your sendMail function, You cannot take variables inside single quotes modify it as
function sendMail($to,$pwd,$id){
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = "your login name: {$id} password: {$pwd}";
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
another alternative could be
function sendMail($to,$pwd,$id){
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'your login name:' . $id .' password: '. $pwd;
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
Both will work like a charm.
First change your query to:
$result = mysql_query("SELECT email,password,userid FROM `affiliate_users`");
Then change your code like this:
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM)) {
sendMail($row[0],$row[1],$row[2]);
}
mysql_free_result($result);
function sendMail($to,$pwd,$id){
$subject = 'the subject';
**$message = "your login name:". $id ." password: ". $pwd ."";**
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
Note
I do not know what your field names are in the affiliate_users table so replace this "email,password,userid" with your actual field name.
If you want to execute this script every month then you can use cronjob.
I am trying this on wordpress, trying to email multiple email address. I have 2 email addresses in the database.
Here is the code:
$r = $wpdb->get_results($wpdb->prepare( "SELECT * FROM wp_users", $ID, $user_email ));
foreach ($r as $row) {
$to = 'someone#myhost.com';
$bcc = $row->user_email;
$subject = $_POST["subject"];
$message = $_POST["message"];
$headers = 'From: me#mymail.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: me#mymail.com' . "\r\n" .
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
echo "Email sent";
}
else {
echo "Email sending failed";
}
It's sending emails BUT what's happening is that the TO (someone#myhost.com) is getting 2 emails and the $bcc is getting none.
What am I doing wrong here?
Yep, this behavior it is pretty normal, you forgot to put in $headers the Bcc: part, it should be like:
$headers = 'From: me#mymail.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: me#mymail.com' . "\r\n" .
'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" .
'Bcc: '.$bcc. "\r\n".
'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
