I'm having problems sending a mail through php. I've already set in php.ini SMTP:
SMTP = xx.xxx.xxx.xx
smtp_port = 25
And I'm in php to send an email with the following code:
// Set up parameters
$to = "xpto.87#gmail.com";
$subject = "Title";
$message = "Hello world";
// Send email
$mail = mail($to,$subject,$message);
// Inform the user
if($mail == true)
echo "send mail";
else
echo "dont send";
What do I get and always a "dont send", and i dont know why. Anybody can help me please?
I have succesfully sent email from PHP over GMAIL using following code:
$from = "who";
$to = "to";
$subject = "subject";
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = 465;
$username = "yourusername";
$password = "yourpass";
$headers = array ('From' => $from, 'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'port' => $port,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
Tell me if it works in your case.

I have read the similar posts about this problem but can't quite get my head around what I am doing wrong here. The 'To' email is received ok.
However, I can not get the 'CC' email to send when using the following script.
Any help would be much appreciated.
// Require Pear Mail Packages
require_once ("Mail.php");
require_once ("Mail/mime.php");
require_once ("Mail/mail.php");
$crlf = "\n";
$from = "Company <admin#example.com>";
$to = $purchasersName . "<" . $purchasersEmail . ">";
$cc = "Company <admin#example.com>";
$subject = "Company Order Confirmation";
$host = "localhost";
$port = "25";
$username = "the username";
$password = "the password";
$hdrs = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Cc' => $cc,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mime = new Mail_mime(array('eol' => $crlf));
$mime->setHTMLBody($mailBody);
$body = $mime->get();
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);
$smtp =& Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $hdrs, $body);
This comment is in the pear docs on this page
http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail.send.php
(If you want other options, you could try http://swiftmailer.org, I have used that on lots of projects now)
Note by: arminfrey#gmail.com 2007-07-08 05:13 UTC In order to send
e-mail to cc or bcc with smtp you have to list the cc e-mail address
both as a recipient (which decides where the e-mail is sent) and in
the cc header, which tells the mail client how to display it.
Here is the code I use:
$to = 'to#example.com'; $cc = 'cc#example.com';
$recipients = $to.", ".$cc;
$headers['From'] = 'from#example.com'; $headers['To'] = $to;
$headers['Subject'] = 'Test message'; $headers['Cc'] =
'cc#example.com'; $headers['Reply-To'] = 'from#example.com';
$send = $mail->send($recipients, $headers, $body);
Hi I´m trying to send mails on localhost to my gmail account. I tried the postfix tutorial on the MAMP Pro website but that did not work for me.
Is there any way to enable sending mails from and to my gmail-account on localhost?
I think you will want to authenticate and send directly with the gmail server. For reasons related to spam prevention, I have seen issues with sending from a local machine to and from my gmail account.
You could check out the PEAR Mail package. Using it is fairly simple (code borrowed from another site):
<?php require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "Sandra Sender <sender#example.com>";
$to = "Ramona Recipient <recipient#example.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "ssl://mail.example.com";
$port = "465";
$username = "smtp_username";
$password = "smtp_password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>
I have an existing email.PHP that sends emails based on certain functions with in my website, similar to forum notifications.
However its very hit n miss with sending them, worked well for two days then just stopped.
My question is is there a simple way to add smtp instructions to the existing script so that it will use Gmail rather than PHP mail()
I can supply current script if required.
Thanks in advance.
You need to install PEAR Mail. Then you can do it like this.
<?php
require_once "Mail.php";
$from = "<from#gmail.com>";
$to = "<to#yahoo.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
$port = "465";
$username = "myaccount#gmail.com"; //<> give errors
$password = "password";
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
?>
I'm trying to figure out how send email from php using google's SMTP servers, but change the FROM header to match my domain. The email sends fine, but the recipient sees it sent from myemail#gmail.com, rather than me#mydomain.com. I'm using php pear mail to send.
require_once("Mail.php");
$from = "Me <me#mydomain.com>";
$to = "Zach <myemail#gmail.com>";
$subject = "Hi!";
$body = "Hi,\n\nHow are you?";
$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$username = "****";
$password = "****";
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array ('host' => $host,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$headers = array ('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
}
You must set a ssl encryption. Google can help you http://www.google.com/search?q=pear+mail+ssl
How can you use pear mail mime with google. I found this which lets you use pear mail with google, but not mail mime: http://globalconstant.scnay.com/2009/11/06/sending-email-through-gmail-using-php/
require_once "Mail.php";
require_once "Mail/mime.php";
$from = "Sender <*******#googlemail.com>";
$to = "Receiver <*******#googlemail.com>";
$subject = "Welcome to SITENAME!";
$crlf = "\n";
$html = "<h1> This is HTML </h1>";
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$port = 465;
$username = "********#googlemail.com";
$password = "********";
$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
$body = $mime->get();
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$smtp = Mail::factory("smtp",array("host" => $host,
"port" => $port,
"auth" => true,
"username" => $username,
"password" => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo $mail->getMessage();
} else {
echo "Message sent successfully!";
}
echo "\n";
I keep getting
Failed to add recipient: #localhost
[SMTP: Invalid response code received
from server (code: 555, response:
5.5.2 Syntax error. f52sm5542930wes.35)]
Edit:
The email is now received, however it turns out like this:
This is a message I sent from PHP using=
the PEAR Mail package and SMTP through Gmail. Enjoy!
It looks like you have an issue with the email header. I updated your code based on the pear mail doc (http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.mail.mail-mime.example.php):
require_once "Mail.php";
require_once "Mail/mime.php";
$from = "Sender <*******#googlemail.com>";
$to = "Receiver <*******#googlemail.com>";
$subject = "Welcome to SITENAME!";
$crlf = "\n";
$html = "<h1> This is HTML </h1>";
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
//$host = "smtp.gmail.com";
$host = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com"; // try this one to use ssl
$port = 465;
$username = "********#googlemail.com";
$password = "********";
//$mime = new Mail_mime($crlf);
$mime = new Mail_mime(array('eol' => $crlf)); //based on pear doc
$mime->setHTMLBody($html);
//$body = $mime->get();
$body = $mime->getMessageBody(); //based on pear doc above
$headers = $mime->headers($headers);
$smtp = Mail::factory("smtp",array("host" => $host,
"port" => $port,
"auth" => true,
"username" => $username,
"password" => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo $mail->getMessage();
} else {
echo "Message sent successfully!";
}
echo "\n";
It works for me so I hope it will work for you!
Cheers,

#john: Using the code from the link you posted, modify it like so --
<?php
require_once('Mail.php');
require_once('Mail/mime.php');
$from = 'Sender <sender#gmail.com>';
$to = 'Receiver <receiver#something.com>';
$subject = 'Sent from PHP on my machine';
$text = 'This is a message I sent from PHP '
. 'using the PEAR Mail package and SMTP through Gmail. Enjoy!';
$message = new Mail_mime();
$message->setTXTBody(strip_tags($text)); // for plain-text
$message->setHTMLBody($text);
$body = $message->get();
$host = 'smtp.gmail.com';
$port = 587; //According to Google you need to use 465 or 587
$username = 'sender';
$password = 'your_password';
$headers = array('From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
array(
'host' => $host,
'port' => $port,
'auth' => true,
'username' => $username,
'password' => $password));
$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);
if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
echo $mail->getMessage();
} else {
echo "Message sent successfully!";
}
echo "\n";
?>
Update:
Edit:

#john: Update
$body = $mime->get();
to
$body = $mime->get(array('text_charset' => 'utf-8'));
and try again.
$body = $mime->get(array('text_charset' => 'utf-8'));
In addition to the above you need html_charset for html emails.
$crlf = "\n";
$body = $mime->get(array('html_charset' => 'utf-8', 'text_charset' => 'utf-8', 'eol' => $crlf));
This will fix the abberations like  in the e-mails.
Couldn't comment on StealthyNinja's answer so I posted my own, sorry about that.
The question is also a bit old but I maybe this could be useful to others.
To get rid of all that HTML tags and weird characters you have to prepare your header so the e-mail client can read the e-mail right. Try this AFTER setting your $headers array:
$headers = $message->headers($headers);
It should work ok after that.
I have used this code to remove 3D after = sign.
$hdrs = array( 'From' => $from,
'To' => $to,
'Subject' => $subject );
$mime =& new Mail_mime();
$mime->setTXTBody($message);
if($htmlMessage==""){
$htmlMessage=$message;
}
$mime->setHTMLBody($htmlMessage);
if($attachmentIsFile){
if($attachment!=null)
$mime->addAttachment($attachment,'application/octet-stream',$attachmentName.extractExtension($attachment));
}else{
if($attachment!="")
$mime->addAttachment($attachment,'application/octet-stream',$attachmentName,false);
}
$body = $mime->get(array('text_encoding' => '8bit','html_encoding' => '8bit'));
$hdrs = $mime->headers($hdrs);
