Sending email

DonChillow

Hi all.
In my first thread the code I had wasn't working because I forgot the semicolon. That day I put the semicolon in the right place and it worked. I send a email through the form and I received, but today it won't work...
And I don't remember changing anything? The results that I echo, will show up but I won't receive an email. And I've tried 3 different emails (gmail, hotmail, email from y website)...
Can anybody help me out?

<?php

$emailSubject = 'Inschrijvingsformulier';
$webMaster = 'mustafa_A@hotmail.nl';

$comments = $_POST['comments'];

Are you sure its not in your spam filter?

I notice you are spoofing the from address to mimic any email given in POST data, this has caused problems for me before with timing - the emails show up but it takes a great deal of time as the receiving server sees the spoof and tried to verify how it originated. If you are doing this for ease of replying, you may want to consider the Reply-To: header.

HTH

DonChillow

It's also not located in my spam folder. I've checked that as first...

But I will try it without spoofing the adres and see if that works! On the other hand, the first time I used this script it worked like a charm and I received the email almost in an instant..

Derokorian

Yeah, when I built my first contact first I did it like this as well. It worked to start then stopped working as expected, when I changed From: to the same domain it sent from and used reply-to for the person filling the form it has always worked. Just a thought - you know something to try =D

DonChillow

So I have to change the code from :

    $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

To:

	$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body);

Or am I misunderstanding it?

Derokorian

You could try that, but I was saying to change

    $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

    $headers = 'From: local@domain.com\r\n';
    $headers .= "Reply-To: $email\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);

Where the local@domain.com is associated with the server you are sending from.

DonChillow

I've tried this, but I still haven't received the email...
I don't know how long it would take before I receive the email? Or is there any other way to make sure that the form is sending? (Maybe another way which you suggest that is better than this one?)

Derokorian

Are you checking the $success variable to make sure its true (if its false then it never left the script, so the headers wouldn't really matter)

DonChillow

How do I check this?:queasy:

Derokorian

    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers); 
    if( !$success ) trigger_error('Email failed to send from script.');

DonChillow

I've changed what you said and uploaded it and filled the form out again, but it just echos $results. So I don't see if the variable is true or not. Or I'm just doing something wrong?

Derokorian

Well you would get an error thrown by the php error handler (much like a syntax, or parse error) if the mail was failing to send, which tells me the script thinks its working. Hopefully someone else can jump in and find a solution for ya =\

DonChillow

Hmm, I would still like to thank you for trying to help me out. I really appreciate it!
Now lets hope someone else knows what can be done

Well, have you tried echoing "success" if it is supposedly successful?

Also, notice that trigger_error uses the error settings from php.ini. So if you do not log and / or display errors, you will not see this one either.

please i want to send email out to many email can some one help me?

I've changed the php-script to how it was in the first post.
And I've installed USBWebServer (my brother said I should install it because it would take too long to upload the site everytime I changed something).
And now I get this:

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "localhost" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:\Users\Musti\Desktop\USBWebserver v8_nl\root\Inschrijven1.php on line 33

And Johanafm, you also brought up php.ini. But I don't have a php.ini file? My whole site is in html except the file for sending the forms.

Btw, this is line 33:

    $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
