How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP
(11 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
I got an "Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent (output started at process_contact.php:5) in (/process_contact.php on line 147 )" while using mail() in php for sending an mail to multiple user.

You cannot send header information after you have already echoed something. See PHP output buffering for information on how to get around this.
Drop this and it should work:
echo "Mail Sent.";
echo "Mail Sent.";
header('Location: reservation.php?sentok');
That ^
In any case, it doesn't make sense anyway to echo something then directly redirect. You could instead output Mail Sent at reservation.php
if(isset($_GET['sentok'])) echo 'Mail Sent.';
EDIT:
I think you got a syntax error there as pointed by your error message:
$adminmessage="You have received an email from ".$_POST['email']. // <-- this
$to = "test1#gmail.com";
This gives me an Undefined Variable notice in my local setup, which in turns stopping you from calling header() as that notice is counted as an output by php.
You have an echo statement before the header() call, that will cause headers to be sent. You must not output anything before a header()

In my project i have done some email code to receive the order details, 1 mail to admin and other mail for user..
But some users and admins are receiving the emails with html code.. I checked in many ways with gmail, webmail.. All are displaying good.. Finally I tested with outlook and in outlook mail was getting in html code.. By enquiring the users they said that they r using outlook.. So that issue was with outlook I think so..

The email in outlook getting the same html code of $message with containing order details..
Thanks
If your code doesn't contain a valid <!doctype html> declaration and <body> tags etc, then that could contribute to the problem.
People using Outlook (or other similar mail clients) may have their settings set to not display HTML and images. I have seen that happen quite often before.
This stands at being a local issue and you have no control over that.
Therefore, you need to include a seperate header as TEXT only which is the usual norm when sending mail.
Use Phpmailer or Swiftmailer. That should solve everything.
References:
https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
http://phpmailer.worxware.com/
http://swiftmailer.org/
and read the documentation on its implementation.
Other options are to use services such as MailChimp, Constant Contact etc. which work well and are services that are used widely and are already setup to handle both HTML and plain text formats.

How to fix "Headers already sent" error in PHP
(11 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Curious as to what is wrong with the following php code which sends an email when a contact form is filled out and submitted. The email arrives perfectly but instead of redirecting it gives the following error:
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home4/ranchoba/public_html/marvan/marvan/send.php:1) in /home4/ranchoba/public_html/marvan/marvan/send.php on line 112
I've tried calling the php file by the action in the form as well as by placing a in the very first line of the page. Neither one works.
PHP Code:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 1);
//if the form is submitted, go ahead and send the email to ops
ob_start();
if ($_POST['is_form_submitted'] == "yes")
{

Maybe you have space before <?php tag in your scripts. Check it please and remove them. Also use UTF-8 file encoding without BOM
It is best to find where you are outputting a space or line that is causing the header() to fail. But if you cannot, try this to clear the buffer before header().
if (ob_get_length() > 0 ) {
ob_clean();
flush();
}
I am trying to copy my HTML form in email body. Below is code where the form is already in php file but I want if the user submits html form file then all the form data between that is not hidden is copied (as disabled elements) in the body of the email. Also if there is any file attachment field, it should be attached to the email.

$to = 'demo#localhost.com' . ', '; // note the comma
$to .= 'demo#localhost.com';
// subject

I'll assume the form is submitted from a website, and that you're not trying to create a submittable form in an email. To copy the data submitted in the form, $_POST[""]; would surely be the best way to obtain the data. Obviously the data wouldn't be manipulatable once the email has arrived in the recipient's inbox but, as I say, I'm assuming you're not trying to create a form which can be submitted from an email.
Your form on the website was fine:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body style="padding:3px; margin:0px;" bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="440">
<tr><td style="height:10px"></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" style="text-align:justify; line-height:15px;" class="body">
<form name="frm" method="POST" action="careersuccess.php" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">

<tr>

</table>
</form>
</td>
</tr>

<td colspan="2" align="center"> </td>

</table>
</body>
</html>
Your file careersuccess.php would then need to include something like:
<?php
// multiple recipients
$to = 'demo#localhost.com' . ', '; // note the comma
$to .= 'demo#localhost.com';
// subject
$subject = 'Birthday Reminders for August';
$strName = $_POST["strname"]; //assigns strname from form to PHP variable
$strAddress = $_POST["straddress"];
$strCity = $_POST["strcity"];
$strState = $_POST["strstate"];
$strNumber = $_POST["strnumber"];
$strEmail = $_POST["stremail"];
$strComments = $_POST["strcomments"];
$strResume = $_POST["strresume"];
$lineBreak = "<br />\n\"; //adds carriage return to break up your message
$message = "Name: ".$strName.$lineBreak."Address: ".$strAddress.$lineBreak."City: ".$strCity.$lineBreak."State: ".$strState.$lineBreak...for the rest of your variables;
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Additional headers
$headers .= 'To: Mary <mary#example.com>, Kelly <kelly#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: Birthday Reminder <birthday#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: birthdayarchive#example.com' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Bcc: birthdaycheck#example.com' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
That will result in the submitted values of the form being copied in to the email in the $message variable for the mail() function.
When I submit my form, I receive the email in plain text and not quite in the format I'd like it to be. I'd like it to at least have color to the body and arrange the email so that its neater.
on the contact.php form ... this is what I currently have:
$msg = "You have been contacted by $name with regards to Accommodation.
They passed verification and their message is as follows." . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= "$comments" . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= "You can contact $name via email, $email or via phone $phone." .
PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
$msg .= "We want to stay from the $dayin to the $dayout" . PHP_EOL .
PHP_EOL;
Why is this form using $msg? I've seen in other forms, they use $message.
Can I add CSS styling to the above form?
I also see:
$headers = "From: $email" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=utf-8" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" . PHP_EOL;
Would I need to change "plain" to "HTML"?
Any suggestions or examples would be great!
EDIT:
Ok so now my header are:
$headers = "From: $email" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Reply-To: $email" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n" . PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n" .
PHP_EOL;
$headers .= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable" . PHP_EOL;
Do I need PHP_EOL in each header?
My $msg looks like:
$msg = '<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 12px;
color: #4D241E;
}
body {
background-image: url();

.style1 {font-size: 14px}

</style>

Now when I add this form in my php and submit my form ... I receive my submission that doesn't look like the table layout like above.
You can use the following headers. These will allow you to just put normal HTML in your message.
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1" . "\r\n";
// More headers
$headers .= 'From: <example#example.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Cc: example two#example.com' . "\r\n";
Yep you are going to have to use
Content-type:text/html;charset=iso-8859-1\r\n
It might be a good idea to provide your email in both HTML and text formats as not all email applications support HTML, and many others support it poorly.
To do so use this header instead. The boundary thing is what separates the HTML and text versions in the email, the line below generates a unique code which is suitable for this purpose
$boundary = md5(date('r', time()));
$headers .= "\r\nContent-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=$boundary."\"";
Before the text version of the email post this code, note the "--" at the begging. You use the same boundary throughout the email.
--<?php echo $boundary; ?>
Before the HTML version post the same code again
There is a good template you can use here
