RE: [PHP-DB] mail
hello,
Yes you are right, the || operator stands for OR , which means ,
if any of those listed fields are empty, do not process the form and
throw a error message instead. If you use instead of || , it instruct
the php other way around as in , if ($field == $field1 == ) or
otherfield, only process the form , if all these form fields are empty
and not just one. I hope that helps. good luck.

[PHP-DB] Mail Function
I have been racking my brain for the better part of a day with a simple
mail function. I am trying to generate a list of events from MySQL and
then use the php Mail function to email the list in an html email to a

figure out why.
The code is attached

I keep getting a parse error on a section that I can not figure out why. ok, this is a general PHP question not realy a php-db type but 'sall good ;) a) the parse error is likely form a rogue quote (in the html perhaps) making a syntax error, hard to say with out the actual error b) are you sure mail() can tell that that is html and create the appropriate multi part MIME message? Highly doubtful since all mail() does is pipe the data to sendmail, I'd recommend using a valid MIME/SMTP tool like Perl's Mail::Sender::Easy module (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Mail::Sender::Easy) You can easily use Perl's DBI to do your MySQL query so there really is no need to try to hack up PHP's lame mail() function to do something it simply can't.

[PHP-DB] Mail question
I have a quick, probably easy to answer question. I am trying to add the ability to email from like a quest book or a calendar event and get an authentication error in my error log. I can only believe that this is due to my smtp server needed to know my login and password. Is there a way I can pass this in the php.ini file? I am using apache 2.0 and PHP 4.03 on a windows xp machine. If this can be done, please let me know, any other suggestions would be welcomed.

I'm replying off-list as this isn't a database question, but check out the pear mail class at: http://pear.php.net It handles SMTP authentication. The standard mail() function does not.

RE: [PHP-DB] MAIL() help needed :-(
Hi there, Thanks for the help, I've sorted it out now - stupid me :-) You know what it's like sometimes, you work that hard on different things that something which should be really simple just goes over your head - well, it does mine anyway :-) Very much appreciated. Chris Hey Chris, Probably a good idea would be to read the email RFC. I'd say that you're trying to send a Multi-part MIME email, but not formatting it correctly. You even forget to include your 'simple' (plain text) message in the email body. SO if you were formatting it correctly, and your friend is only viewing plain text, you won't see anything. Here's the basic structure of a Multi-part MIME email: begin quote From: Persons Name [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=mime_seperator X-Mailer: PHP/5.0.0 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --mime_seperator Content-type: text/plain;charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit This is the plain text part of the email. --mime_seperator Content-type: text/html;charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit HTML HEADTITLEEmail Title/TITLE/HEAD BODY HTML Email in here /BODY /HTML --mime_seperator- end quote A few notes for you: 1. This is a multi-part message in MIME format. begins the email body. (ie it's not a header) 2. Most of the headers need \r\n as a newline. \n won't do. (Checkout the code below to see where to use \r\n and where to use \n) 3. You need a mime seperator to begin each section of the email. it should be preceded by -- each time. You should end the email with the mime seperator preceeded with -- AND suffixed with -. You can use pretty much anything for the seperator. There may be a restriction on which characters you can use. 4. This does not cover attachments. If you want to send attachments in the email, you need to do some further research. Official EMail RFCs: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1341.txt Here's a great tutorial at PHP Builder: http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/kartic2807.php3 Here's how I do the above email: ? $myname=My Name; $my_email=[EMAIL PROTECTED]; $username=Person's Name; $user_email=[EMAIL PROTECTED]; $stamp=time(); $subject=General Subject; $content_boundary=MYDOMAIN_$stamp; $extra_headers=From: $myname $my_email \r\nMIME-Version: 1.0\r\nContent-type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\$content_boundary\\r\nX-Mailer: PHP/.phpversion(); $start_html=Content-type: text/html;\tcharset=\us-ascii\\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n; $start_text=Content-type: text/plain;\tcharset=\us-ascii\\nContent-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n; $message=This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\r\n\r\n; $message.=--.$content_boundary.\r\n.$start_text; $message.=Plain text email.\r\nA new line\r\n\r\nTwo new lines follwed by some more text. $message.=--.$content_boundary.\r\n.$start_html; $message.=!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC \-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN\\r\nHTML\r\nHEADTITLE/TITLE\r\n/HEAD\r\nBODY\ r\n; $message.=Message body in here; $message.=\r\n/BODY\r\n/HTML; $message.=--.$content_boundary.-\r\n; mail($username..$user_email., $subject, $message, $extra_headers); ?

[PHP-DB] MAIL() help needed :-(
Hi there everyone, I'm having a major problem. I'm trying to send a message FROM Windows XP Pro, now this is where it get weird - in some mail packages it WORKS, and in some it doesn't. Basically it's an HTML email which is sent when a form is completed, the results are stored in a DB and then sent on in an HTML Email Format. In My outlook 2003, it works, in my friends outlook 2003 which I setup for him exactly the same way mine is - the email is blank, it is the same in his outlook express. My question is, can anyone see anything that I am doing wrong for this to happen? Maybe my headers are wrong? Any help would be really appreciated as this is really getting to me. This is my first time trying with this method, I usually use a different method as I use Linux, but the method I use didn't want to work without sendmail. Thank you everyone $to_name = 'To Name; $to_email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $from_name = 'From Name'; $from_email = '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'; $subject = 'Information Request'; $body_simple = 'Simple content for non-MiME-compliant clients'; $body_plain = 'This message requires a HTML Capable Client - Such as Outlook or Outlook Express'; $body_html = $messagebody; $headers = From: \.$from_name.\ .$from_email.\r\n; $headers .= to: \.$to_name.\ .$to_email.\r\n; $headers .= Return-Path: .$from_email.\r\n; $headers .= MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n; $headers .= Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n; $headers .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\r\n\r\n; $headers .= $body_html.\r\n; mail($to_email, $subject, '', $headers); - Regards Chris

That's what the to parameter of mail() is for. $headers .= Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n; Not the best way to send an HTML message.

[PHP-DB] mail() function and AOL users
I use the following php mail function in an online applicaiton program: mail($email, application submitted, $message, From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]); This function does not always work when I modify $message. I have checked for null values for $message already but this does not seem to be the problem. I am trying to develop some sort of pattern of when this function works and when it does not. The only essential difference between the values I pass in for message is the one that does not always work includes a link. Apparently anyone useing AOL email is particularly vulnerable to this problem. Is it likely that AOL and other mail servers sometimes block any email from a web site if it has a link in the main body? Or should I not be useing mail() in this manner to begin with? -Matt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

If you use this class, you can just specify the bounce address in Return-Path header and the class will take care of composing and sending the message in an appropriate way to make the bounces go to the specified address when possible. Keep in mind that just specifying the Return-Path header when you use the mail() function directly will not work.

Sounds alot more like advertising than sanity ... there's not much
trickery in using the mail() function ... only if you want to attach
files can it get a bit tricky (encoding the file and inserting the

properly ...

Maybe add the appropriate header to the headers parameter? I'm using the
mail() function and getting bounces just fine. Perhaps set up a mail
alias/forwarding for the user that the script runs as?

[PHP-DB] mail() and sendmail configuration
Good Morning,
This post is somewhat OT -- please forgive me. I've spent over 3 days
trying to get sendmail configured and I've lost some patience and
reasoning ability in the process.
I have a Linux (RH9), Apache 2.0.48, PHP 4.3.4, MySQL GUI that creates a
PDF document on the server for web access. We would also like to have the
document emailed to several folks within the company. So I essentially
have to get the PDF attached to an email and routed to our SMTP server. I
have webmin installed and have tried to use it to configure sendmail. When
I execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail status --- Linux says that sendmail
is running.
I'm using this method for creating emails with attachments (which was
posted on the PHP-WIN list several months ago ), but it is failing:
?php
$fileatt = ; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = application/octet-stream; // File Type
$fileatt_name = ; // Filename that will be used for the file as the
attachment
$email_from = ; // Who the email is from
$email_subject = ; // The Subject of the email
$email_txt = ; // Message that the email has in it
$email_to = ; // Who the email is too
$headers = From: .$email_from;
$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);
$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = ==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x;
$headers .= \nMIME-Version: 1.0\n .
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n .
boundary=\{$mime_boundary}\;
$email_message .= This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n .
--{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type:text/html; charset=\iso-8859-1\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n .
$email_txt . \n\n;
$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));
$email_message .= --{$mime_boundary}\n .
Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n .
name=\{$fileatt_name}\\n .
//Content-Disposition: attachment;\n .
// filename=\{$fileatt_name}\\n .
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n .
$data . \n\n .
--{$mime_boundary}--\n;
$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers);
if($ok) {
echo font face=verdana size=2The file was successfully sent!/font;
} else {
die(Sorry but the email could not be sent. Please go back and try
again!);
}
?
I've examined the content of the variables in this expression (from above)
[[$ok = @mail($email_to, $email_subject, $email_message, $headers) ]] and
it looks ok, though I'm no expert, so I'm guessing that the problem lies
within the sendmail configuration. Webmin has loads of config pages for
sendmail, and I admit that they're overwhelming right now. It seemed to me
at first a relatively simple task to have an email created on the server,
and forwarded to our SMTP server for delivery, but I was obviously naiive
in this assumption. If anyone has suggestions or knows of helpful links or
tutorials, I'd be deeply obliged.
Thanks for reading this long post.
David

Jason, Thanks for the suggestions. In regard to your question, no. A simple mail() invocation without the attachment does not work, hence my sense that the problem is the sendmail config. I'm in the process of checking the logs and will repost if anything looks promising.

Re: [PHP-DB] Mail Function
Your script actually connects to an SMTP server and sends the email? If this is the case, you can have your script look for success/error messages returned by the server when it sends - unless you're delivering to an AOL address. AOL accepts everything you throw at it and then sends back a notification of success/failure via email...sometimes. There are a few other servers that act the same way, but AOL is the biggest culprit in making an email list manager's life a living hell. I've actually been kicking around the idea of a PHP-based list manager that will also go through bounce notifications but haven't done anything more than that. The biggest hurdle is getting through the bounced messages. --JMR Graeme McLaren wrote: Evening all, I've written a script which sends emails, there is no problem with that.

Re: [PHP-DB] mail function
The textarea tag has an option called wrap, pls read below (extracted from w3c.org) TEXTAREA NAME=foo ROWS=4 COLS=40 WRAP=OFF Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are ignored and one line of text is sent to the server. No automatic wrapping is done, so the user must scroll horizontally to see lines that extend past the specified column width. TEXTAREA NAME=foo ROWS=4 COLS=40 WRAP=VIRTUAL Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are mirrored on the screen, but only one line of text is sent to the server with the return characters stripped out. Automatic wrapping as the user enters text is performed. TEXTAREA NAME=foo ROWS=4 COLS=40 WRAP=PHYSICAL Carriage returns and line feeds entered by the user are mirrored on the screen, and all characters the user enters are sent to the server. In addition, automatic word wrapping is performed and CR/LFs are sent where the user agent wraps the text.

Can this fucktion be use to mail the submited content of a form? If so how? Thanks for your time, Mike Delorme
RE: [PHP-DB] mail()
This is not so much a database question. The answer is yes, it can be. You
can read the documentation to find out how.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
A quick example is:
?php
$body = '';
foreach ($_POST as $key= $val){
$body .= $key = $val\n;
}
mail ($address, Form submission, $body);
?
That is really ugly an inelegant. I would suggest building off of it by
adding error checking and formatting the mail body.

[PHP-DB] mail() question
I am trying to get the mail() function to work. Here is my test code: ini_set(SMTP, mail.mydomain.com); ini_set(sendmail_from, [EMAIL PROTECTED]); echo ini_get(SMTP); echo brbr, ini_get(sendmail_from); echo brbr, ini_get(sendmail_path); echo $success = mail([EMAIL PROTECTED], A subject, Some contents); I print the settings out to make sure they are right. And they look like right. But even if the mail() function retuns 1, the mail still doesn't go through. Don't even see a log on the mail server. Can somebody tell me what I am missing?

{
extract($row);

RE: [PHP-DB] Mail problem
Just looking at our php.ini file and we use an external machine to send
mail with when calling the mail() function.
I think you just need to change the directive for the path/URI to the
mail server you wish PHP to use, in your php.ini file.
HTH :-)

If you can't, all you can do is to use some PHP SMTP client code to send your messages. In this case you may want to try this class that is optimized for queuing messages for many recipients as you need. http://www.phpclasses.org/smtpclass You are strongly recommended to put all recipients in Bcc: because queuing via SMTP is much slower than using a local mailer like sendmail and it would take you a long time to queue if you send separate messages for each recipient. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i'). ;sendmail_path = I presume you mean the SMTP server set in my mail account. That is at my ISP. The SMTP= entry must be pointing at an SMTP server. Have you installed SMTP on the local box? In any case, others have had major problems using localhost, cf a machine name. FWIW, I recommend using the SMTP svr at your ISP. Because you can set up this line to be exactly the same as you have in your email package - and thus reduce variable factors, if you can get email OUT using your email client, you should be able to have high confidence that your PHP infrastructure will work!

Here is the section from my PHP.INI [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = localhost ; For Win32 only. sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; For Unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: 'sendmail -t -i'). ;sendmail_path = I presume you mean the SMTP server set in my mail account. That is at my ISP. The SMTP= entry must be pointing at an SMTP server. Have you installed SMTP on the local box? In any case, others have had major problems using localhost, cf a machine name. FWIW, I recommend using the SMTP svr at your ISP. Because you can set up this line to be exactly the same as you have in your email package - and thus reduce variable factors, if you can get email OUT using your email client, you should be able to have high confidence that your PHP infrastructure will work! (so even if you have set up a local SMTP server, I'd get going on the ISP, and once proven switch back in-house) Regards, =dn I'm still having problems with the mail function. I have installed PHP in a Windows 2000 test server. Is there something I should do to allow this function to work. I am a complete newbie and installed with the default settings. I get a Failed to connect Error when I call the mail() function. // retrieve values $row = mysql_fetch_array($ret); $email = $row[email]; $title = $row[title]; $comments = $row[comments]; $title = $row[title]; mail($email, $title, $comments); Mail is controlled by settings in the php.ini file. Please post the [mail function] section (changing any confidential names to protect the guilty). Setup for Windows differs from *NIX - hence confusion in many tutorials/books... this matter is frequently discussed - see archives.

Yep, that's exactly how it works. Just like the email you send from Eudora or Outlook is all stored on your hard drive, but uses the SMTP server of your ISP, same here. -Lisi At 07:17 PM 4/22/02 +0100, Alex Francis wrote: Can I set this to use the SMTP Server at my ISP but still use the database and PHP files in house.

RE: [PHP-DB] Mail
Lisi I realised that just after my last post. I also realised that I would never get it to work until I make some alterations to my network. I have a broadband cable modem connected to a Windows 98 system which I use for everything. For test purposes I added a Windows 2000 system and at the moment I am reluctant to spend the time changing over the modem and I can't seem to get the Windows 2000 PC to connect through the Modem on the Windows 98 mc. I may just get as far as I can and take a chance on working on the ISP.

[PHP-DB] Mail Again
Got almost everything to work. Thank you all for your input. Code as
follows:
?include (../config.inc.php); ?
?php
// setup SQL statement to retrieve link
$SQL = SELECT * FROM $tablename1 ;
$SQL = $SQL . WHERE id = $id ;
// execute SQL statement
$ret = mysql_db_query($dbname,$SQL,$link);
if (!$ret) { echo(ERROR: . mysql_error() . \n$SQL\n); }
echo (PB Email Sent/B/P\n);
// retrieve values
$row = mysql_fetch_array($ret);
$email = $row[email];
$title = $row[title];
$comments = $row[comments];
$title = $row[title];
mail($email, $title, $comments, $emailaddress);
mysql_close($link);
?
$emailaddress is set in the config.inc.php file and comes in alright as a
header in the note.
However, the mail is sent from the following:
nobody [[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
Is there a way to tell the PHP Server where the mail is coming from.

Re: [PHP-DB] mail()
You do not show where $fromemail, $friendemail and $fromname are defined. Shouldn't $toaddress be the first item in your mail function? Try echoing these 3 variables to make sure it is what you think it should be.

Re: [PHP-DB] mail()
You know that $fromaddress must have the correct header's to, right? Like just [EMAIL PROTECTED] will not be interepreted but something like Reply-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] will set the Reply-to header correctly. Also, did you try taking out the dynamic values and just entering a hardcoded test without the variables to make sure it works just even with straight static values?

Re: RE: [PHP-DB] mail()
The last parameter of the mail command is for email headers, if you pass in just a single email address it doesn't know what you want to do with that since thats not a valid header. If you don't know what your doing with the last parameter then you don't need to have it, and should omit it, as it is opitional for a reason. If your sure you do need it, you seperate headers like this: To set the reply-to field and the from field (as it would appear to the person who recieves the email), you would do: From:[EMAIL PROTECTED]\nReply-to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] This would make the email appear as coming from [EMAIL PROTECTED], while when they clicked the reply button, it would go to [EMAIL PROTECTED], the most useful situation for these is when your server appends a nastry from address like apache@localhost or whatever from the webserver daemon.

[PHP-DB] mail() on Mac OS X
I have been trying for months now (on and off) to get mail() working in OS X. I have trid various things, but this is my current setup. If you have any suggestions or if you could put me in the right direction, then I would be glad. - I am using PHP v4.0.6 on Mac OS X 10.1 (pre-compiled with cool options from entropy.ch) - I installed Communigate Pro (a mail server -- and this works when I use it in Mail.app) - I don't want to use sendmail, I want to use the mail server I have already installed. - I have these two lines in my php.ini SMTP = ifunk.dyndns.org sendmail_from = [EMAIL PROTECTED] my sendmail_path is still the same as default... but I was just thinking that PHP would use my smtp server(ifunk.dyndns.org) Can someone slap me in the face if I'm misunderstanding something, or help me if you can.
