PHP mail problem

[fatepower]

Hi on my site im using SMTP cuz phpmail wont work so when the users have lost the password it have only the code that send though PHPmail but the other like signup sends by mailer, smtp script.
how can i change this code so it send thought the smtp?

case 'lost_password':

// Set the default title
$phpfox_page_title = "Lost Password";

define("PHPFOX_NOTOP",TRUE);

$phpfox_build = array(	
	'FORM' => phpfox_links("account","lost_password"),
);

$phpfox_replace['email_verify'] = TRUE;

function phpfox_randomzie()
{
	$array = array(
	         "ap","dus","tin","rog","sti","rev","pik","sty","lev","qot","rel","vid",
	         "kro","xo","pro","wia","axi","jer","foh","mu","ya","zol","gu","pli","cra",
	         "den","bi","sat","ry","qui","wip","fla","gro","tav","peh","gil","lot",
	         "kal","zan","noc","bat","tev","lun","pal","hom","cun","wos","vox"
	);

	$rand = rand(0,count($array));

	return $array[$rand];
}

if ( !empty($_POST['email']) )
{
	$email_check = phpfox_sql_query("user","`email`,`user`,`id`","WHERE `email` = '$PHPFOX_POST[email]'",TRUE);	

	if ( $email_check['email'] )
	{
		$new_pass = rand(23,30).phpfox_randomzie().rand(23,9873).phpfox_randomzie();

		phpfox_sql_update("user","SET `new_pass` = '$new_pass' WHERE `email` = '". $email_check['email'] ."'");

		$message = "". sprintf($phpfox_lang['lost_password_email'],$email_check['user']) ." ". str_replace("&","&",phpfox_links("account","pass_verify",$email_check['id']."@".md5("$new_pass"))) ."";

		mail(trim($email_check['email']),$phpfox_lang['lost_password'],$message,trim($GLOBALS['phpfox_main_config']['email_headers']));

		$phpfox_replace['email_verify'] = FALSE;
		$phpfox_replace['email_verify_sent'] = TRUE;
		$phpfox_build['lost_password_verify'] = sprintf($phpfox_lang['lost_password_verify'],$email_check['email']);
	}
	else
	{
		$phpfox_replace['email_invalid'] = TRUE;
	}
}

phpfox_load_template("lost_password",$phpfox_build);

break;

i have an class.phpmailer.php and i wont the script to find that config for sending the mail so it can be sent trought smtp.
how shall i modify that?
like adding this:

// Require main mailer class
require_once("". $VAR[5] ."/inc/mailer/class.phpmailer.php");

but need to add something mor to get it to work like $mail = ???

[fatepower]

I have try to change the line mail to imap_mail but it didnt work either 🙁
i have aksed my host how u can send phpmail trought the server and im getting this answear:

To be able to send a script generated mail through the server you have to set either the recipient's e-mail address (the "To:" header) or the sender's e-mail address (the "From:" header) to be an e-mail address from your hosted domain on the server.

The "From:" header is required to be present and to be preceding the "To:" header.

Also, please keep in mind that the use of the Bcc and the Cc email headers in mailing scripts is forbidden due to security reasons.Our system administrators were forced to take this measure because of numerous spamming attempts made through them.

what shall i do to fix this for phpmail? or what shall i do to fix the smtp?

Need assistans with this.. cheers

[fatepower]

I have script a litle but dont know if this should work :/
cant someone take a look please?

<?php


// To = $email_check['email']
// Subject = $phpfox_lang['lost_password']
// Message = $message
// headers =  trim($GLOBALS['phpfox_main_config']['email_headers'])


$from = "Site Name <[e-mail]>";
$to = "$email_check['user']<$email_check['email']>";
$subject = "$phpfox_lang['lost_password']";
$body = $message;

$host = "mail.example.com";
$username = "smtp_username";
$password = "smtp_password";

$headers = array ('From' => $from,
  'To' => $to,
  'Subject' => $subject);
$smtp = Mail::factory('smtp',
  array ('host' => $host,
    'auth' => true,
    'username' => $username,
    'password' => $password));

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
 } else {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
 }
?>

please help

[bradgrafelman]

When posting PHP code, please use the board's

bbcode tags - they make the code much, much easier to read (as well as aiding the diagnosis of syntax errors). You should edit your post now and add these bbcode tags to help others in reading/analyzing your code.

Doing this, you'll see the erroneous line quite plainly:

$to = $PHPFOX_POST[email] '<PHPFOX_POST> $from, 'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject);

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish there with the PHPFOX variable and the <PHPFOX_POST> string and whatnot, but you need to fix the syntax on that line.

[fatepower]

Ok sorry that was a miss from me, i frogetted the PHP code but now i have edit it =)
About the phpfox tags is that this is a script that sends a email to your inbox ( u allready know that) but an "lost_password email" and dont really know why its adding their just that i have browsed that code and talked lite on other forums and they guided me on doin that way. The main point i think is that the host need a $To and $From to complete sending emails i think. Ok thanks i get stuck at that line error but i'll try that source u posted and see if it works.
I will post back when i have tried it. But does the code seems ok overall?

[fatepower]

Ok i tried the code out and i still get the line error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/www/pantheraonline.com/account.php on line 123

I used this source code as above

case 'lost_password':

// include_once('class.phpmailer.php');

$username = "[e-mail]";
$password = "password";

// Set the default title
$phpfox_page_title = "Lost Password";

$mail = $smtp->send($to, $headers, $body);

    }
    else
    {
        $phpfox_replace['email_invalid'] = TRUE;
    }
}

phpfox_load_template("lost_password",$phpfox_build);

break; 

ans know i remember why im using this lines in $To

$PHPFOX_POST[email] <PHPFOX_POST>

cuz when the user who are lost his/she's password they fill in their email and the $To will send it to the email who are posting/printing.

EDIT2:
I added this into: (but dont know if that is right)

$to = "$PHPFOX_POST[email] '<PHPFOX_POST> $from, 'To' => $to, 'Subject' => $subject)"; 

and the popup will load the Enter Email then the text box, but it will not send the email and it will not load the "Thanks for sending the email".
shall i use this code to get that confirm msg? but where to put it?

if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
  echo("<p>" . $mail->getMessage() . "</p>");
} else {
  echo("<p>Message successfully sent!</p>");
} 

and i also think that i need to include this in something:
code=php;[/code]
in the start i think i need also this (tell which port ect ect):

$Port = 25;
$SMTPAuth = true;
$Timeout = 10;

[fatepower]

i saw that thw whole code of the lost password was much longer here's the standard code. I wont the email be sent in SMTP.

[sneakyimp]

the error you originally got occurred on line 123. I don't see 123 lines of code posted here (nor do i want to read that much code). What does the line giving the error look like?

[fatepower]

Nope it doen give eny error eny more it was just a simple " error but, the error is how to send smtp mail though this script?

I have tried allot of things at it only gives me an blank page and not sending eny mails, the PHPmail is disabled from my host so i need to make this sending thogh SMTP.
Read the post bellow i have figure script alitle but that code seems not working to its not sending the mails but not giving the blank page.

[fatepower]

That will mean instead of using this:

            mail(trim($email_check['email']),$phpfox_lang['lost_password'],$message,trim($GLOBALS['phpfox_main_config']['email_headers']));

it maybe shall look like somthing like this:

//mod
      //This sets up our connection object
      $connection = new Swift_Connection_SMTP('your.smtp.net');
      //The mailer will now establish a connection with the server
      $mailer = new Swift($connection);    

    //If anything goes wrong you can see what happened in the logs
      if ($mailer->isConnected()) //Optional
      {
          //Sends a simple email
          $mailer->send(
              $email,
              "$SITENAME <$SITEEMAIL>",
              "$body",
              "$email_check['email']",
              "$phpfox_lang['lost_password']",
              "$message",
              "$GLOBALS['phpfox_main_config']['email_headers']"
                  );
          //Closes cleanly... works without this but it's not as polite.
          $mailer->close();
      }
      //else echo "The mailer failed to connect. Errors: ".print_r($mailer->errors, 1).". Log: ".print_r($mailer->transactions, 1);
      //print_r($mailer->transactions);
//end mod

and heres the script for SMTP who are needing authentication.

//mod
//This sets up our connection object
$connection = new Swift_Connection_SMTP('mailserver.com');
//The mailer will now establish a connection with the server
$mailer = new Swift($connection);


//If anything goes wrong you can see what happened in the logs
if ($mailer->isConnected()) //Optional
{

if ($mailer->authenticate('[e-mail]', 'password'))
{

//Sends a simple email
$mailer->send(
$arr["email"],
             "$SITENAME <$SITEEMAIL>",
              "$body",
              "$email_check['email']",
              "$phpfox_lang['lost_password']",
              "$message",
              "$GLOBALS['phpfox_main_config']['email_headers']"
);
}
    else echo "Didn't authenticate to server";

//Closes cleanly... works without this but it's not as polite.
$mailer->close();
}
//else echo "The mailer failed to connect. Errors: //<pre>".print_r($mailer->errors, 1)."</pre><br />
//    Log: <pre>".print_r($mailer->transactions, 1)."</pre>";

//print_r($mailer->transactions);
//end mod

( NOTE One thing though is that you have to have the full class uploaded on your server - not only SMTP.php and Swift.php
Download the package and make sure that all the files are in their places. DO NOT CHANGE the directory structure:

http://www.swiftmailer.org/releases/Swift-2.1.17-php4.tar.gz )

Then in the top, add this (needed for the both scripts):

require('Swift.php');
require('SMTP.php');

and ofcourse download the software:

Finally I came across a way to talk directly to an SMTP server and not using PHP sendmail
by a lucky coincidence i found a mail system called swift on SourceForge that allows you to send e-mails without using sendmail

http://www.swiftmailer.org/
or just download the attachment 😉
I allreay has an mailer like swift in PHPFOXY and it could maybe be usefull but how to fix so i can use that one?
I have attached the files..

Fatepower -

You've posted thirteen messages to this thread, comprising several hundred lines of PHP code and barely comprehensible English. You've also shown little interest in solving the problem yourself (by, say, reading the documentation for the libraries you're using, or using standard debugging techniques); instead, you keep bumping the post, trying to get someone to do your work for you and drop an answer in your lap.

That is why you haven't gotten more help. Asking people to take time out of their own lives to help with your problems is fine - after all, that's what this forum is for - but it's considered courteous among coders to make it easy for people to help when you're asking for help.
