problem with email notification!

[Anon]

I have setup a guestbook in flash and would like an email notification when the is an addition to the guestbook. I have tried several different methods yet I can't figure out the coding to make this email notification function properly.(the guestbook works fine with the code the way it is.)

I would truly appreciate any help I could get on this matter.

Here is the existing code.
<?PHP
if ($command=="view"){
$info=file("guest.db");
$max=sizeof($info);
for ($i=0;$i<$max;++$i){
$temp=explode("||",$info[$i]);
echo("&name".($i+1)."=".$temp[0].
"&email".($i+1)."=".$temp[1].
"&date".($i+1)."=".$temp[2].
"&year".($i+1)."=".$temp[3].
"&time".($i+1)."=".$temp[4].
"&message".($i+1)."=".$temp[5]);
}
echo("&max=".$max);
}
if ($command=="sign"){
if ($name!="" && $message!=""){
$emailadd=$email;
$fp=fopen("guest.db","a");
fputs($fp, rawurlencode(StripSlashes($name))."||".
rawurlencode(StripSlashes($email))."||".
rawurlencode(date("M d"))."||".
rawurlencode(date("Y"))."||".
rawurlencode(date("H:i"))."||".
rawurlencode(StripSlashes($message))."\n");
fclose($fp);
mail("[e-mail]", "Guestbook 9 Updated", "Lot 9 Guestbook Updated");
}
echo("done=1");
}
?>

Somewhere in that add something like the below, assuming your using a submit button to enter the information.

if ($submit) {
mail("[e-mail]", "Guestbook 9 Updated", "Lot 9 Guestbook Updated");
}

if that doesn't work it may be no definition of the replyto part, so change it to the below and it should work then, I think.

if ($submit) {
mail("[e-mail]", "Guestbook 9 Updated", "Lot 9 Guestbook Updated", From: "[e-mail]\nReply-To: [e-mail]");
}

I'm not great, so I'm not sure how much of that you need, but it SHOULD work. Of course, if the button for entering information is called "enter" for example, its ($enter) instead of ($sumbit)

Hope that helps, and works.

What's your OS? With Linux, you have to make sure you have sendmail configured properly. In php.ini, you have to make sure you have the e-mailer as "sendmail -t" if you use sendmail... As with Windows... I don't know 😉 Make sure the mail server is not behind a firewall, make sure the server knows its routes to bounce mails, etc. Hope this helps.
