Email Forms Without MAIL( ) Function.
Several servers I have had my site hosted on took care of the technical details of email form submitting; I simply set the ACTION="http://MySite.MyDomain.Com". Now, my current host seems not to do this, or anything remotely like this. I have tried about 6 or 7 php scripts for email forms to no success, only error messages or nothing at all.
I have read what I can find on this site here, as well as the About.com php tutorials and whatever else I can find. I think there is more I need to know about the server-side of things, such as where is the CGI-BIN directory, if there is one and if I need to use it; and also, Do I really need a Database and Tables just to send a simple form to email?.
My host server claims to support php, and also I have available to me a php/MyAdmin/MySQL area, but I don't know how to use this. My host also has the Mail() function disabled to deter spammers apparently, and it seems to be this function which all the scripts I can find are using. How then, without using this Mail() function, can I have my contact form submitted and emailed to me?

Mail() Function Isn't Sending The Email.
I've just built my first PHP form handler that will save the form data to a text file on my server and then email me an alert, but the Mail() function isn't sending me the email. I have set it to send to my gmail account but I don't receive it in my inbox or spam. How can I make it email me properly?

Use The Mail() Function To Send An Email Using PHP.
I have recently run into many problems with multiple hosts attempting to use the mail() function to send an email using PHP. Many hosts are now blocking this method as it is often used to spam. Is there another way I can send mail in my scripts that will be able to be used in a variety of circumstances with a large audience.

Email Sends With Mail() Function But Arrives Blank
The TextInputForm.html form and WorkMail.php script below work fine. But there is one exception. If the "maxlength" variables for the text input boxes in the HTML form below are increased any more than the current settings the e-mail won't work right. What will happen is the e-mail will send but when it arrives it will be blank when viewed in the e-mail client. For example, if the "maxlength" in the "AnyConcerns" text input box below is increased to 175 or above, and if all of the text boxes on the HTML form are full of text, the e-mail will arrive blank. The "echo" statements on the WorkMail.php script below work fine. If the "maxlength" settings on the text boxes are too high (resulting in a blank e-mail) the "echo" statements will still print out all of the input in the browser. That indicates that the $Data string is processing all the way through to the SendMail() function below. I was thinking that maybe, in order to guard against persons sending spam, the ISP has set the hosting server to limit the amount of text that can be sent in any one e-mail. Does anyone know what might be the problem? PHP Code:

Mail() Function Not Working With Sender's Hotmail Email
i have this mail() function which works fine but i've tested it with hotmail where i use hotmail email address for sender and receiver also hotmail. If I type in a not existent email address for sender and a right address for receiver, the email is not sent. But if I use non-existent email and yahoo receiver email, then the mail is delivered correctly. What's with hotmail? Is there something I can do to prevent it with mail() function, or extra headers? or is it simply something to do at the hotmail's end?

$msg(body Text Of Email) Variable In The Mail Function.
I have a question about the $msg(body text of email) variable in the mail function. Is it possible to place logic in this variable? I have form that uploads 4 or so pictures and stores them in a database. After the upload the database prints the form data. btw, i am just storing the URL's in the database not the actual images. Therefore the files show up as URL's to where the images are kept. Sometimes there may only be 1 file uploaded. When I print the record to the browser from the database I have added if/else statments like this: Code:

MAIL() Function To Send An Email When Users Register
I have created a registration page for my site, and once the information provided is validated OK, the script inserts all the data on to MYSQL and after that it sends a Welcome Email to the user. My problem is that the user has to wait sometimes few minutes, with the form on front of then while the script is sending the mail. My questions are: 1) Is there a way to "pipe/delegate" the email job to another script while freeing the form web page, as in the Process Flow: Form Completed ------(3 seconds)----> New page "welcome to the Club" --( fork another script)---(1 to 4 minutes)----> Send Welcome email to the user 2) While the email is being sent, the form page refreshed to a "Waiting Bar.GIF" and when the email is sent it refreshed to a new page like: "welcome Html Page"?

Mail() Function - Using The Mail() Function To Send Emails To Members Of A Website
I am using the mail() function to send emails to members of a website. For some reason when I include words such as "free" or "winner" the mail does not send to any of the addresses - it just seems to disappear in space. I figured this out by trial and error - once I removed those words, it worked. I am running cPanel on the server and have no problem sending emails as long as they don't use those words. It seems to be blocking certain words - ones that I assume spammers would use.

Basic Email From Forms
I have put together a very simple e-mail form that, until now, worked flawlessly. I have four computers in my office, three running Internet Explorer 6.0 and one Mac running Safari. I when sending the form, one of the PC's will not send the e-mail or give an error. I asked a friend to try it from their computer and the same thing happened, one worked fine and the other didn't. Are there any browser settings or headers I need to add/change to ensure this form will e-mail from most browsers?

Exploiting Mail() Forms
I have several sites with very normal looking contact us forms on them. Fill them out, and the content is mailed to the Web site owner using the mail() function. In recent months, however, these forms have been exploited. It is unclear if they are being used to send SPAM or if this only is the intent, but I occasionally will get three or four contact forms in a row that clearly are being hit by some script. These emails came across with some fields blank. So I required all fields. The emails had random characters typed in, so I required that the email address be authentic. The emails send a reply to the person completing the form. The reply comes from my address. However, now I'm getting the replies with my address in the TO address and the FROM address. So, I started getting the IP Address of the sender, requiring it, and putting that at the bottom of the emails. I try it, and it works. When these SPAMMING scripts hit it, the email that comes to me has MY EMAIL ADDRESS where the IP address is supposed to be. All of my headers end with . And yet I'm still getting these scripted replies. I changed the file names in case they were coded in some place, and I even took the contact us form off the menu, leaving it as a link inside one page. No luck. They're still coming. My code that prepares and sends the mail is below....

Mail Forms Being Exploited?
I have a couple of HTML forms on my web site (nothing much, just 4 fields, 3 text and 1 drop down). The results are emailed to my address when someone fills and submits. I have a JavaScript validation in place which is working fine. The email script is very simple and uses the PHP mail() function. I perform a HTTP_REFERER check as well as a check for the correct email format [both employ ereg()]. If everything is correct (i.e. the HTTP_REFERER has my domain name "www.mydomain.com") and passes server-side validation, an email is sent to me and the visitor is sent back to the page he/she was viewing.

Email Forms - Blocking Spammers
I have a couple of email forms I have created that use PHP to email the collected data to the appropriate recipient. A concern has been raised by clients about the form being hacked by spammers. Is this likely to be a problem? If so what is the best way to stop it happening. All I can think of is to maintain a log of, say, users ip addresses and use this the limit the frequency with which the form can be used.

Setting Up Forms To Email Info
I have a site with a form which I would like people to input their name,email address and comments. At the moment I have it mailed to me in code which I have to run through a form reader and the user must use their own email client to send it. How can I make it so that info can be sent seperate from the user's email and I can recieve it in a legible email? I presume I have to use PHP (which my server supports) but I am totally new to the whole thing.

Submitting Forms Through HTML E-mail
1. I want to e-mail an questionnaire to all my (50) clients. 2. They will fill up the form and click on Submit button. 3. I want to store the responses in the mysql table along with the respective e-mail addresses from which it was generated. I don't know how to start because I am too new to 1. HTML e-mail messages 2. Submitting data to MySql from e-mail client (and not from regular website) I want to avoid login, password based submission because the clients are too new to the web and they don't have much time. The whole process should be completed in a few clicks and in minimum time.

Validating Forms - User Submitted A URL Instead Of An Email
I have been validating the forms all around my website recently as I have been learning PHP and one thing I don't know is how to propperly validate to specific things. For example, I've set up my forms so they can't be submitted with certain or no data. However, how do I set it so they can't be submitted if they contain certain characters or vise versa. For example: Say the user submitted a URL instead of an email, then there would be an error because there was no '@' character used.

Use The Mail() Function: Warning: Mail() [function.mail]:
I am trying to use the mail() function. I've got my php.ini file configured to use my current smtp host (Verizon) and I get this error: Warning: mail() [function.mail]: Failed to connect to mailserver at "outgoing.verizon.com" port 25, verify your "SMTP" and "smtp_port" setting in php.ini or use ini_set() in C:www est.php on line 39 So I'm asking two things. 1) How can I make this work with out using Verizon's SMTP server? The server I am using for this website is a Windows XP machine with Apache as the webserver. 2) Once I have an alternative smtp server option, what is it I need to do to set it up properly? I need an alternative smtp server because this machine is just a development machine at my house, while the file site is in a colo and isn't connect to verizion or anyone else with a smtp server.
