popen to send mail . . .

[Anon]

Hi, i have search over the forum but didn't find any answer, so here i am.

I have those lines :

$test = popen("/usr/bin/mailto [e-mail]", "w");
printf("subject: this is my subject /n this is my message");
close($test);

When i run the code, i see in my webpage this :

this is my subject /n this is my message

how can i send email with that command???

thanx in advance,

Jacinthe

$test is a file handle, you need to write to it!

Read this page : http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fputs.php

ok here's my new lines :

$test = popen("/usr/bin/mailto [e-mail]", "w");
fwrite($test, "subject: this is my subject /n This is my message/n");
close($test);

I keep not receiving my message 🙁

Have you looked into using the IMAP and mail functions?

Do you know that you need \n instead of /n ?

Also, the mail() function might work better for you
