RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
But isn't lack of Bcc support in the mail function under windows or some delivery failure under linux the reason Brad is trying to build an SMTP auth function/component?. I mean, what's the requirement here? Sending Bcc headers and getting the emails delivered or talking directly to the SMTP server? Because if it's the first one, it should work in a linux PHP installation... except for some server filter that is to some extent blocking headers for the PHP mail function (probably to avoid spam injections, I don't know). So... just asking, what's the code and what's the system here? It can't be that hard to send out a list of emails with CC / Bcc headers!!!

Holy Word, so I wouldn't expect the mail function on Windows to work with Bcc. What you can do? Well... if Bcc is a requirement and you MUST do the code for Windows+PHP you'll have to write you own code to login to a SMTP server or use PHPMailer... (or any other ready made solution). No, you don't have to go such lengths. A BCC-copy is just another email which doesn't list the recipient in the To: header, so you just send your email twice: mail( to-addr, subject, message, headers); mail( bcc-addr, subject, message, headers); /Per Jessen, Zürich -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Holy Word, so I wouldn't expect the mail function on Windows to work with Bcc. And they were right, all the way up until PHP 4.3.0. From the mail manual page... 4.3.0 (Windows only) All custom headers (like From, Cc, Bcc and Date) are supported, and are not case-sensitive. (As custom headers are not interpreted by the MTA in the first place, but are parsed by PHP, PHP 4.3 only supported the Cc header element and was case-sensitive). So if you're using = 4.3.0 on Windows the Bcc header will be parsed. For unix-based servers where mail uses sendmail the Bcc header is supported by that and therefore does not need to be supported by PHP. -Stut -- http://stut.net/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Nobody (me included) likes doing assignments for anybody, and that's not what this list is for either... but I've not seen any of you throwing a link for a video tutorial. When I started learning PHP it was kind of a new world, though I had some experience in C, C++, C#, VB, Delphi, Actionscript and Javascript. So I RTFM for the syntactic elements to compare and see the differences with other languages I knew, and then I jumped over a set of tutorials for the basic functionality like using $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION, sending out emails and accessing databases (for Spanish speakers like me we have http://www.illasaron.com with tones of GB in FREE training videos, for English speakers I don't know). Only when I felt a bit comfortable I started coding my stuff... and I didn't bother anybody in any forum or mail list. I bet my life that the only one goal of Brad's assignment is How to populate the headers parameter for the mail function and the rest of it... is the result of Brad's googling and not knowing what to ask. I believe 120% he wants SMTP Auth only because his code is failing and he thinks that will fix the issue. Anyway... all that said, I only hope that once he gets it straight he says Thanks guys, this was the issue and this is how it got solved Rob -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Jim,
At this point, we need to just get his homework assignment parameters
from Brad so we can see what next questions he'll have... I'm not sure he
needs to do SMTP auth but even if he does, he's going to need to be able to
write correct syntax and debug his code along the way...
Wolf
Well, re-reading his first post, it does seem like the only two things
he is interested in solving, besides syntax and formatting, are SMTP
auth and using the BCC to send to additional addresses.

Actually, reading his first post tells you that he is trying to get this
to work for his business and he's too much into this guy for $$$ to go
with a MySQL databased mailing list setup to get his email sent...

Is there a community agreement that this guy (Brad) should be blacklisted?

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
Since it is not in the assignment, find out how to do things within the
parameters of your assignment.
http://www.google.com
php: {issue}
Googling PHP: mail bcc (sans quotes) has 5 viable workings on how to do it.
If it fails, then you need to be examing the php.ini file for information or
talking with the server admins as to what piece is wrong. Also, if you are
error checking your own stuff, then the error log should be able to tell you
what has failed out.
I'm glad your professor is teaching you how to learn, but shouldn't this be
something you should be able to do already?
And wasn't this whole thing started with you looking for something that you
were already too much money into to change for the next roll-out? So now you
are fessing up to trying to get the PHP board to do your assignments for you?
I sure hope your instructor is on this board too...

Guidance: 1. Learn the syntax of PHP, including how to concatenate information to variables. 2. Learn the syntax of coding standards for the language you are using. 3. Learn the proper way to ask for help 4. Learn the proper way to read answers provided, since this is difficult for you... A. Remove head from @$$ B. Read email top to bottom (printing it out sometimes helps) C. Mark through the bits of working code that you provided D. Re-Read non-working code with helpful tips from those whom have given you answers E. THANK THE ANSWERERS FOR THEIR HELP F. Fully document your code with the markings where you received further insight or code pieces themselves to show where you got it If you don't like sarcasm or want people to do your homework for you, go to another list. Many of us on here code daily, using pieces of our own and helping others and each other out (OK, I can't EVER remember helping Stut with something), but we are here because we like to help and pass on information. We are NOT here to write code for your business or homework. You should be learning these principals in your class, you must have been skipping or asleep during them. And yes, Stut's answers are great for the issue at hand, but you need to go back and follow the steps (possibly making sure to step A multiple times)... And I'd love to hear you recite the entire page.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
You say The use of BCC with the PHP mail function is pretty well-explained on the PHP manual page for said function. I say, No it doesn't, I tried everything on that page and it either parse error'ed or didn't work. The php manual page goes from baby basics to crazy smtp authentication processes with a snippet of my issue which when extracted does not work. When add lib is added, it does not work, when the entire code piece is extracted, it does not work, when attempted to clean it up and cater to my environment, it parse errors. How about a relational examination or how they got from point a to point d? -Original Message- From: Stut [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 19, 2007 4:41 PM To: Brad Cc: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] two small issues with php mail Brad wrote: This is why I am on this mailing instead of the php site for their mailer which is utterly useless!

I wouldn't call PHPMailer a trick as such, but your professor is absolutely right about learning the in's and out's of programming. Unfortunately your posts so far have demonstrated that you haven't yet grasped the syntactic basics yet but it doesn't seem to bother you. Yes, here we go again!

Are you aware of .htaccess files? google override php.ini using .htaccess and
you should get some good hits there. But then that is probably outside the

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
Brad,
Take 3 steps away from the computer. Now take a few deep breaths. Good.
Stut is NOT Jessen, make sure that the person who called you a dumbass is given
the proper credit for doing so.
Stut has tried to be helpful and if you take the time to read through it (are
you on a deadline for having your homework done and partied too hard this
weekend?) and you should be able to get your stuff handled.
BCC is the only way to send email without putting the recipients in the CC or
To field. But do make sure you follow the correct syntax to include them.

Since it is not in the assignment, find out how to do things within the

Googling PHP: mail bcc (sans quotes) has 5 viable workings on how to do
it. If it fails, then you need to be examing the php.ini file for
information or talking with the server admins as to what piece is wrong.
Also, if you are error checking your own stuff, then the error log should
be
able to tell you what has failed out.
I'm glad your professor is teaching you how to learn, but shouldn't this
be
something you should be able to do already?

Implementing Bcc and smtp.

Those are not normal quotes, but I'm guessing you actually typed that in
the evil that is Outlook.
#2 trying to do a Bcc but that gives me parse errors as well
It should be as easy as?
$Bcc [EMAIL PROTECTED]; $eol = \r\n;
That's not valid code. Ok, the second bit is, but still rather pointless.
Here is the working code, but if I implement the above needed inserts
anywhere, I get a big ol fat parse error
Any assistance would be truly appreciated.
An explanation of why would really help since this is for a school
project.
Ahh, suddenly everything becomes clear. You can't use PHPMailer because
that would mean that you didn't learn it yourself you just used somebody
elses work. So instead you ask here rather than reading the PHPMailer
source code. Nice.
Working code as is:
?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$fromaddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; $eol = \r\n;
$headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol;
// $headers = 'bcc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
This should work. However, because you're assigning this to $headers
rather than concatenating it you're trampling over the From line above.
BTW, Bcc usually has a capital letter. Probably wouldn't cause any
problems but has the potential to stop it working.
$headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol

Re: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
#1 email is only being sent to a few recipients. I need to implement $smtp = ‘localhost’; Somewhere, but I keep getting parse errors? Don't use fancy ms-word quotes, use the normal single quotes. php mail() only uses the smtp config if you are sending on a windows machine. http://php.net/mail SMTP - Used under Windows only: host name or IP address of the SMTP server PHP should use for mail sent with the mail() function. If you want to do smtp authentication yourself, I suggest you get phpmailer and look at how it handles it (read the code and try to understand the process). $headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol; // $headers = 'bcc: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; This should be: $headers .= 'bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'; otherwise this line is overwriting the 'from' line (notice the . before the = sign). In future don't post real email addresses because spam-bots get the archives from websites and use them, so kathyandrews is going to get a ton of spam because you've sent her email address around. -- Postgresql php tutorials http://www.designmagick.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
belligerent? Moi? Smart-ass yes, pointed yes. belligerent? No. But I don't
take kind to pointed attacks at people who help many others and have tried
repeatedly to help you without just changing the coding to work for you. Why?
Because they and I have helped and been helped by people on here and attacking
them does not help anyone. But the sarcasm will get people laughing. And
humor/laughter is the best medicine.
You combine the from along with the BCC because they are all part of the
headers. What you were doing instead was assigning both to headers as a
variable. Which means you no longer had a from. But if you had concatenated
them in the first place, that would not have been an issue.
versus '' is syntax, pure and simple. Some work different ways depending on
how they are being operated on. For instance you can do the following:
?php
$ref = Some site somewhere;
echo $ref is where you came from;
// results in Some site somewhere is where you came from
echo '$ref is where you came from';
// results in either $ref is where you came from OR some error possible
echo $ref . ' is where you came from';
// results in Some site somewhere is where you came from
?
As for understanding versus '' ... Well they both have their uses and you
will need to see what works best for your current instant issues, and if one of
them fails, then you will need to massage the code. Notice that the last
example I wrote concatenated the variable with the string to give me the proper
output.
If you play with mail enough, you will find that your stuff will work when
dumped into $header whereas it will fail when placed into others. As for WHY
that is, blame it on smtp.
If your email is going to some but not all, then the some more then likely are
getting filtered. Possibly by the sending server, possibly by a middle server
that the recipients have set up, possibly by a filter on their end. Email
either works or does not. If all of the email addresses are in the same field
(to, cc, bcc) and some have received and some have not, then the bet is either
1. bad addresses, or 2. filtered. Again, it's not a mail problem attributable
to PHP but to either the person entering the email addresses, bad information
or a filter (which could be done multiple ways).
If you had taken the breaths and calmed down when Stut wrote you, Chris would
not have had to rewrite your own code to show the simple syntax flub that was
partially causing your issue.
And as for the note about email addresses and URLs, this list IS actively
parsed for those things, so make sure your mail filters are up to snuff. And
advise anyone who's email and/or URL you have sent out to make sure theirs is
as well. And as for sending the phpinfo output... Well I'd just make sure the
server admins are aware of it and have proper security in place as well.
You will find that those who try to answer you won't just give you a straight
answer for the most part but will try to guide you to see what you did.
Especially for something syntax. We all make a mistake on it once in a while
(well maybe not Stut and Chris) but even I will get a coworker to read through
the code. The important thing is making sure your () and {} are properly done
and your ; are in the right spot, the rest normally takes some massaging to get
right for what your needs are.
As for the grammar and security clearance and whatnot well let's just say
that when you took the breath and came back without attacking that it showed
you thought things through.

RE: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
Brad, This comment is extracted directly from PHPMailer source (before the implementation for the function AddBCC) /** * Adds a Bcc address. Note: this function works * with the SMTP mailer on win32, not with the mail * mailer. * @param string $address * @param string $name * @return void */ I don't really know the internals of how and why Bcc won't work with the mail function on windows, but if these guys who developed PHPMailer say so... Holy Word, so I wouldn't expect the mail function on Windows to work with Bcc. What you can do? Well... if Bcc is a requirement and you MUST do the code for Windows+PHP you'll have to write you own code to login to a SMTP server or use PHPMailer... (or any other ready made solution). If this is an assignment I really doubt your teacher's expectations are so high to let you go and develop such a thing (a class to interface a SMTP server). If you are testing the code in your Windows PC, I would recommend you testing your code in a real-world linux server, if that's an option for you. Other options include testing it on a linux box (if you have one, or you have a Windows-Linux dual boot as many people have) or even downloading the VMWare Player (http://www.vmware.com/) and one of the linux appliances that come with the LAMP suite from the start (if you don't have linux, or want to run linux while working in windows applications such as Dreamweaver). That said, don't blame PHP, don't blame us, and don't even blame your code, Bcc is not working due to an issue of the mail function in Windows (don't know why, I'm not an expert in the subject, and don't care either, I use PHPMailer). If you get the issue solved, we would also like to hear it.

Re: [PHP] two small issues with php mail
The reason I am using \r\n is because the PHP Manual says so (http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php#id367). I use implode because it is easier [in my opinion], but you will achieve the same result with: From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; On Nov 19, 2007 7:22 PM, Brad [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sir, you are very kind, but your implementation of array has me as the monkey with a light bulb I know BASIC (the language) at a minimal.

Research and past experience says that I need to implement smtp into my code. Testing of the present parse free code show that email addresses on the same server: To: works Bcc: does not Once Bcc: works on same server, I will need to test Bcc on another server which I am sure requires the proper smtp configuration. Working code: ? $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $fromaddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $fromname = 'g'; $eol = \r\n; $smtp = localhost; $headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol; $headers .= 'Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $eol = \r\n; $headers .= 'Reply-To: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol; $headers .= 'Return-Path: '.$fromname

It makes sense, but the Bcc is still not making it through.
Not sure if the smtp portion is correct either.
No parse errors, but no email from the bcc either.
?
$email = $_REQUEST['email'];
$fromaddress = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]';
$fromname = 'Zone of success Club'; $eol = \r\n;
$smtp = localhost;
I told you this earlier!!!
NOTICE: you are trying to use $eol here
$headers = 'From: '.$fromname.' '.$fromaddress.''.$eol;
but you don't define it until HERE.
$headers .= 'Bcc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $eol = \r\n;
MOVE IT TO THE TOP OF YOUR SCRIPT!!!
secondly, this would have been averted if you would turn on error
reporting and display errors (something that should be used when
developing).
Something along the line of this at the top of your script will do the
trick.
?php
// Sets error reporting level to a somewhat high level of reporting.
error_reporting(E_ALL);
// Sends error messages to the browser
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
...
