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".

I have a simple function that uses wp_mail, like:
$headers = "From: $myName <$myEmail>" . "\r\n";
wp_mail( $myToEmail, $mySubject, $myMessage, $myHeaders );
When I put this code onto a site, it seems there are sometimes when the email does not send, but I do not see any way to replicate the issue and it generally works.
Where are potential points of failure?
Is it possible the email is failing on the server side occasionally?
You need to use WP_mail() function to your contact form.You can use this way
see this is example:
headers = "From: $myName <$myEmail>" . "\r\n";
//Here put your Validation and send mail
$sent = wp_mail( $myToEmail, $mySubject, $myMessage, $myHeaders );
if($sent) {
}//message sent!
else {
}//message wasn't sent
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 a php page that includes an inquiry form that refers to itself as the form action.
Once completed the form writes to a database within a try-catch construct. I want to send an email to the administrator to say that someone has added themselves to the database.
All of the code works until:
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers, '-f' . $from))
{ #And finally send them a thanks
header('Location: thanks.html.php');
exit();
} else {
echo 'Email did not send';
exit();
}
The code above this block all works because I get a write into the database, and the 'if' test passes because the redirect to the thanks page also works! What have I missed?
Seems like you are trying to make use of additional parameters.
Exerpt from PHP Manual
The additional_parameters parameter can be used to pass an additional
parameter to the program configured to use when sending mail using the
sendmail_path.
<?php
mail('nobody#example.com', 'the subject', 'the message', null, '-fwebmaster#example.com');
?>
Route : 2
Try something like this.
Your $from is contained in the $headers variable itself , so you don't have to specify.
<?php
$to = 'nobody#example.com';
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'From: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'Reply-To: webmaster#example.com' . "\r\n" .
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers))
{ #And finally send them a thanks
header('Location: thanks.html.php');
exit();
} else {
echo 'Email did not send';
exit();
}
?>
AT last...The answer. Nothing wrong with the code! I was falling over the web hosts anti spam filter in mail. Because I was testing the script with my own email address, it refused to send the mail assuming it was spam! As soon as I put in a completely new email address it sent the email!
Thanks to everyone that offered help!
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 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);
