How can i use the mail by header in php?
This is what i use now:
//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n
$headers = "From: test#gmail.com\r\nReply-To:test#gmail.com";
//send the email
$to = "test#gmail.com";
$subject = "This is a subject";
$body = "Hi there!";
if (mail($to, $subject, $body,$headers))
{
echo("\nMessages successfully sent!");
} else {
echo("\nMessages delivery failed...");
}
I get this on my gmail when i click on show details:
from test#gmail.com
reply-to testreply#gmail.com
to test#gmail.com

subject stefanos neofitidis! You commented on your poem:Tree present
mailed-by ip-1-1-1-1.ip.secureserver.net
i do not want to the ip-1-1-1-1.ip.secureserver.net to show up to the users...this is what i am trying to change!
Do you mean the X-Mailer?
$headers = "From: test#gmail.com\r\nReply-To:test#gmail.com\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/" . phpversion();
What you want to do is add a fifth parameter in your mail() function, which needs to use the "-f" sendmail option.
For example:
mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers, "-fsender#domain.com");
Sending a message with that last parameter will change the envelope sender to "sender#domain.com". Most of the time, email providers like gmail won't even show that address if it is set by hand(which is what you want, I'm assuming).
See http://us2.php.net/function.mail for more details.

I have a few questions regarding sending email in PHP. I've been on google for the last few days and I'm still having trouble getting this to fully work.
My first question is how do I change the "From" section of my email? I have "To: support#mydomain.com" in my "from" section:
I'd like to have just the proper name of my domain (eg: "testingstuff.com" -> "Testing Stuff"). How could I achieve this?
Once I actually open the email everything in it is fine and correct, including the From email address being "support#mydomain.com".
Also my mail won't send to gmail addresses. It shows up in my mail queue and my logs say it is sent but it never is received on my gmail. Do I have to take extra steps for Google to accept my email? If so what are those? Do other major mail provides require the same steps, or are they different steps?
This is my code so far:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set("sendmail_from", "support#mydomain.com");
class email {
public static function send($to, $subject, $message) {
$headers = "From: Testing Stuff <support#mydomaincom>\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: support#mydomain.com\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
}
?>
Usage:
require_once("../mail.php");
email::send("support#mydomaincom", "testing email subject", "testing email body");
Am I doing anything wrong in my code?
You need to check if the email is sent properly checking the mail() result, in this way:
$result = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if(!$result) {
echo "Error";
} else {
echo "Success";
}
this is inside your static function,
Also check your spam folder if the mail function return "success".
I have this code to send email.and I got no error in sending email.
if(mailSender()){
echo 'meiled.';
}else {
die('not sent');
}
function mailSender() {
$to = 'info#fcrop.com';
$subject = 'An Abstract Submitted';
$message = 'An Abstract Submitted Recently In ICNBA.org';
$headers = 'Frominfo#icnba.org';
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}
it does not send email.
You need to change:
$headers = 'Frominfo#icnba.org'; to $headers = 'From: info#icnba.org';
and
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); to return mail(... to return the value otherwise mailSender won't return anything.
If the mail is not being sent this may have many reasons from php.ini settings over local MTA misconfiguration to unmatched SPF records. Check your mail logs to see if there are any errors.
Because the if expression evaluates a boolean, and mailSender() returns none.
Add this to your function:
return mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hi everyone. is body
this is answer for show example header
sorry for offtop
I have Plesk with a Network Solutions virtual server. When my site sends out emails using PHP, the email header indicates that the message is coming from an address like this one:
anonymous#002a1c9.netsolvps.com
How do I change this address?
Using the PHP mail() command, you can set the envelope from address using the -f command, and you can include the from address in the message headers as well, like so:
$to = "to#to.com";
$from = "from#from.com";
$subject = "subject";
$message = "this is the message body";
$headers = "From: $from";
$ok = #mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, "-f " . $from);
I want to make an email forwarder similar to cPanel's, where I have a database of email addresses, and where they should forward to, and I set a catch-all to pipe to my script.
I have completed this script, however, I would like to make the "To:" field in the header show the address it was sent to, rather than who is was being delivered to. For example, the email was sent to user001#mydomain.com, and the script forwards it to me#gmail.com. How can I make PHP send mail to me#gmail.com, but still show user001#mydomain.com in the headers, like cPanel does?
You can use the headers of the mail function:
$to = 'me#gmail.com';
$subject = 'Testing';
$message = 'This is a test';
$headers .= 'To: User001 <user001#mydomain.com>, User002 <user002#mydomain.com>' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: My Email Script <me#gmail.com>' . "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I have successfully sent mail using PHP's mail() function before, and for my password reset notification e-mail, I copied the syntax I was using elsewhere, but I guess I messed it up, as it's not arriving at its destination. Here is the code I'm using:
$headers = 'To:'.$email."\r\n";
$headers .= 'From: webmaster#aromaclear.co.uk'."\r\n";
$to = $email."\r\n";
$subject = 'AromaClear Password Reset Notification'. "\r\n";
$msg = 'From: AromaClear'."\r\n";
$msg .='Subject: Your New Password'. "\r\n";
$msg .= 'Message: Your new password is '.$newpass."\r\n";
$msg.= 'If you have received this e-mail in error, please ignore it.'. "\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers);
Any thoughts?
Try looking at your server's mail logs to see why it isn't getting forwarded. Ex., it may be that this server's sendmail wants the -f flag for the From header instead of specifying it in the header text.
mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers, "-f $from");
Also, you seem to be doing a lot of extra/weird work. This is a lot easier:
$subject = "AromaClear Password Reset Notification";
$headers = "From: webmaster#aromaclear.co.uk";
$msg = "Your new password is $newpass\r\nIf you have received this e-mail in error, please ignore it.\r\n.";
if(mail($email, $subject, $msg, $headers))
{
//handle success
}
else
{
//handle failure
}
Change style to your preference.
have you checked the return value of mail(). If it's not FALSE then it's accepted for delivery and the code is fine, but something is messed up somewhere else.
That looks fine to me, perhaps do
if (mail($to_email,$subject,$message, $headers))
echo 'Success';
else
echo 'Error';
}
That might let you know if it's trying to send at all.
Just don't add "\r\n" everywhere, use it only to separate headers.
In the message you can use only \n, it will work.
And at the end of the subject and receiver there's no need for "\r\n".
