I've got Mamp running on my mac and trying to get mail() to work.
This is what I've got to work with.
$to = 'mymail#gmail.com';
$subject = 'The subject!';
$message = 'Hi there!';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP/".phpversion();
$headers .= 'From: Test <test#test.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{ print 'success!'; }
else
{ print 'fail!'; }
?>
It just keeps on returning false. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Some settings with php/apache I need to check?
if you using your snippet on localhost, put on server and then try.
php mail() function needs to be on sever if you want it to work. on localhost you always get fail!
Try this:
<?php
$Name = "Da Duder"; //senders name
$email = "email#adress.com"; //senders e-mail adress
$recipient = "PersonWhoGetsIt#emailadress.com"; //recipient
$mail_body = "The text for the mail..."; //mail body
$subject = "Subject for reviever"; //subject
$header = "From: ". $Name . " <" . $email . ">\r\n"; //optional headerfields
ini_set('sendmail_from', 'me#domain.com');
mail($recipient, $subject, $mail_body, $header);
?>
http://be.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
each line of text may not be bigger than 70 chars and needs to be cut off with a LF (\n)
EDIT: as #brad suggested: SwiftMailer is realy good!

I am using postfix to send an email to the user, but the problem is it breaks the words where it finds the space.
Here is the screenshot:
postfix-send-email
PHP code to send an email:
<?php
$subject = "Status Of mail";
$message = "Test Email using Postfix Apache2";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: 'The Travel Worthy' 'pathik#gmail.com"\r\n";
$send = mail('test#yahoo.com', $subject, $message, $headers);
if($send)
{
return 1;
}
else
{
return 0;
}
?>
Try replacing
$headers .= 'From: 'The Travel Worthy' 'pathik#gmail.com"\r\n";
with
$headers .= "From: The Travel Worthy <pathik#gmail.com>\r\n";
i have a php script
<?php
$to = 'somebody#somedomain.com';
$subject = 'Test mail';
$message = 'mysitedomain.com';
$from = 'support#mysitedomain.com';
$headers = 'From:' . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
echo 'Mail Sent.';
?>
When i run this code mail not send. If i change message to mysitedomaincom (without dot before com) the mail send succesfull.
Anybody have a solution for this?
This codes that tells the mailer and the recipient that the email contains well formed HTML that it will need to interpret
If you want you can change content of $message, now with this codes you can send HTML content mail.
<?PHP
$to = 'somebody#somedomain.com';
$subject = 'Test mail';
$headers = "From: Support <support#mysitedomain.com>" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= '<h1>mysitedomain.com</h1>';
$message .= '</body></html>';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
I am using this basic php code to send out a html email.
When i use email#email.com as a to address the script works.
However, when i try to use email.2015#gmail.com the script says:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '#' in /home/u925912002/public_html/send_email.php on line 3
My code:
<?php
$to = ‘email.2015#gmail.com’;
$subject = 'I need to show html';
$from ='example#example.com';
$body = '<p style=color:red;>This text should be red</p>';
ini_set("sendmail_from", $from);
$headers = "From: " . $from . "\r\nReply-To: " . $from . "";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
echo("<p>Sent</p>");
} else {
echo("<p>Error...</p>");
}
?>
please can someone show me what i'm doing wrong. thanks
For your question recently closed: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34106770/send-email-using-php-from-address-not-working
Try this:
$headers .= "From: Your Name <$from>\r\n";
and you can also add the 5th mail parameter:
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, '-finfo#userforum.com').
Works for me with these headers:
$from = "$name <$email>\r\n";
$to = "$username <$useremail>\r\n";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $name <$email>\r\n";
you are using Apostrophe(‘) instead of quotes(')
try this -
$to = 'email.2015#gmail.com';
instead of this -
$to = ‘email.2015#gmail.com’;
I would like to send an email to my gmail account using some simple PHP code. The code below works in terms of execution, however the problem is even thought is says "Message Sent" I am not receiving my email in my gmail account. Please advice
ini_set('SMTP',"smtp.gmail.com");
$to ="example#gmail.com"; // this will be replaced with my actual email
$from ="example#gmail.com"; // this will be replaced with senders email
$message = $_GET['Message'];
$subject = "This is a test";
if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$from))
{
echo "Message Sent";
}
else
{
echo "Message Not Sent";
}
Steps to send a simple email
Go to google
Search for "PHP Mail"
Click the first result
Read, read, keep reading, wait, read it over, read on
Enjoy!
But seriously:
(Examples are taken from PHP.net)
Example 1
Sending a simple email
Using mail() to send a simple email:
<?php
// The message
$message = "Line 1\r\nLine 2\r\nLine 3";
// In case any of our lines are larger than 70 characters, we should use wordwrap()
$message = wordwrap($message, 70, "\r\n");
// Send
mail('caffeinated#example.com', 'My Subject', $message);
?>
Example 2
Sending mail with extra headers.
The addition of basic headers, telling the MUA the From and Reply-To addresses:
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
Use his line of code:
$to ="example#gmail.com"; // this will be replaced with my actual email
$from ="example#gmail.com"; // this will be replaced with senders email
$headers = "From: ".$from."\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ".$from."\r\n";
//$headers .= "CC: susan#example.com\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
$message = $_GET['Message'];
$subject = "This is a test";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I am not receiving emails from this contact form, but the message seems to sending okay and it also redirects me to the sent page.
I don't have access to the server only via FTP.
PHP
<?php
$to = 'test#gmail.com';
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];
$body = <<<EMAIL
<html>
<p><h3>Email Submited From Website.</h3></p>
<p><strong>Name:</strong> $name</p>
<p><strong>Email:</strong> $email</p>
<p><strong>Subject:</strong> $subject</p>
<p><strong>Message:</strong> $comment</p>
</html>
EMAIL;
// 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: test email' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: <website#mt.co.uk>' . "\r\n";
//$headers .= 'Cc: noreply#example.com' . "\r\n";
//$headers .= 'Bcc: noreply#example.com' . "\r\n";
if ($_POST['submit']){
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
header ("Location: message-sent.php");
die();
} else {
header ("Location: message-failed.php");
die();
}
?>
Check if mail is actually being sent:
if (mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers)===false) {
echo "Not sent!";
} else {
echo "Sent!";
}
Change this:
$headers .= 'To: test email' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: <website#mt.co.uk>' . "\r\n";
To this:
$headers .= "To: $to <test email>\r\n";
$headers .= "From: website#mt.co.uk <website#mt.co.uk>\r\n";
Also, you need to sanitize the subject and body of the email so that the email arrives, but this will usually be reflected in the results after email() reports a success, in that case the email will bounce, go to the spambox, or simply be refused.
If your hosting provider doesn't have an email server, you could try to use a free email server and phpMailer. https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer
