PHP :: From Address Is Not Coming In The Mail.

Does Yahoo, Gmail, Or Any Other Blocks Mail Coming From Feedback Form?
I've been testing my feedback form sent to my yahoo mail. It was working fine at first, but after receiving more than 10 emails then I can't seem to receive anymore.

BTW, I tried testing two recipients separating them with comma. But when I check my email accounts, only 1 received the feedback. Is there anything wrong with the source codes?

$recipient = "dummy@yahoo.com, dummy2@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Subject here";
$mailheaders = "From: My Form <name@mail.com> ";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: " .$_POST["email"];

Thanks.

Mail() Bounces To Server Address Instead Of From Address
All email sent from php mail() that bounces is being returned to my servers admin email address instead of the "From" or "reply-to" address.

PHP Mail Script To Bad Address Not Bouncing
I'm trying to create a PHP script to send mail to a list of addresses.
I'm sending mail okay, because the messages arrive in an account that I
can check, but messages to a known bad address aren't being bounced
back to the sending address.

Here's the line of code I'm using:

$mailok = mail("me@goodaddress.com,me@badaddress.com","this is a test",
"this is a test", "From: me@sendaddress.com");

I receive the message at me@goodaddress.com just fine. If I send a
manual message to me@badaddress.com, the message bounces. If I manually
bounce the message that I received at me@goodaddress.com then it
bounces back to me@sendaddress.com.

I need to figure out why messages to me@badaddress.com sent by the PHP
script aren't bouncing back to me@sendaddress.com.

Show W-mail Address As An Image

Problem: Mail() With Subdomain In TO Address
When using mail() with a TO address that includes a subdomain, as in
foo@sub.domain.com, the intended recipient never receives the mail.

I'm not sure if this is a problem with mail() or a misconfiguration of
the mail program (postfix on dev server, qmail on production server),
but foo@sub.domain.com doesn't receive any mail, while foo@domain.com
gets it every time.

Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!

echo 'mail() test - WITHOUT SUBDOMAIN<br />'
// this works fine
mail(
'foo@domain.com',
'this is the subject',
'this is the message',
"From: bar@domain.com
"
);

echo 'mail() test - WITH SUBDOMAIN'
// this doesn't work
mail(
'foo@sub.domain.com',
'this is the subject',
'this is the message',
"From: bar@domain.com
"
);

Mail() Problem - Not Working With POP Address?
I've been trying stuff for a while now, and I just can't find a way to way to fix it. I have this function to send email to a list of email contained in a MySQL database. Here it is: PHP Code:

Send Mail To Multiple Address
I have a very big problem.
I must send a single mail to multiple receivers. The number of
receivers are very big: approximately 6000 users, but this number
increase each year.
I find a lot of suggestion: insert all e-mail address (or part of them)
in the field BCC.
But I use a hosting server, for this reason I don't know if this
solutions is possible.
I can use my computer, but I don't know is SMTP of my ISP can support
this kind of feature.

How To Block A Specific E-mail Address?
My website has a mail form run by PHP, and I'm getting a lot of e-mails
sent through it that appear to contain my website's domain after the
'@', though I didn't send them. The e-mails contain no other content,
so I assume it's some kind of spam bot.

There must be a line of PHP that I can add that will basically say, "if
the e-mail address contains '@mydomainname.com', do not send."

I tried looking at php.net, but I can only find scripts that check if
the address is a valid one, which isn't good enough. I need to be able
to block a certain e-mail domain.

Change The From Address In Th Mail() Function
I have been trying to find a way to change the name of the senders email when using the mail() function. I would like it to change the senders email address to read something like "Company Name Inc".

The problem is when I set the $from = "From: Company Name Inc"

I get the email with the from being: Company@ourserver.comName@ourserver....@ourserver.com

is there anyway I can change this?

I have found that if I change it to CompanyNameInc@theCompany.com

it sends the email with the from being:

CompanyNameInc@theCompany.com

I would really like to have it read: "Company Name Inc" period I want to remove the @whatever.com all together.

Hiding Email Address From Mail 'To' Column...

Pulling Email Address From Database For Mail()
Maybe it's because it's late or maybe I'm just a newbie (couldn't be) but I'm having trouble with getting all the names from my database into my $to variable.

$sql_mail = "SELECT email
FROM players
WHERE email!= 'none'";
$result_mail = mysql_query($sql_mail);

//bunch of error message validation stuff...

//fetch email addresses from query
while($row_mail = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_mail)){
$to = $row_mail['email'].", ";
}
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$headers .= "From: Me <email@site.com>";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email@site.com;
$message = $_POST['message'] . "";

//now before sticking $to in mail() now with my $headers, $subject and $message I figured that if I try that php will only include the first record.

echo $to; //returns first record as I figured.

How do I keep the list of emails from my while without having all the other stuff ($headers etc) repeat with every record?

Where Is My Php.ini Coming From?
I was having a problem with session variables, and realized that I didn't have my php.ini file set up properly. So I went to fix it and discovered that php is not getting my php.ini from the default directory because my changes weren't shown when I restarted the web server and ran phpinfo().

I'm running apache 1.3.14 and php 4.0.4 on windows 98. The php.ini file that I'm altering is in c:windows Apparantly this is the default for the windows binary build, but when I change it and restart the web server, the changes don't take place. That's the only place I have php.ini, so where is php getting this info from and how can I change it?

Where Is // In Redirect Coming From?
I'm hoping someone out there has experienced this and can tell me right off
what is going on. I'm getting a double slash in my URL when I do a redirect
if my host is a 'web' host, but when my host is localhost (on my development
machine and not on the web) I get the desired single slash.

The redirect code is as follows:

header("Location: http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].
dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/index.php');
exit;

Note that I tack on '/index.php' because in testing on my localhost I found
I needed the leading slash since dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) was not
returning a string ending in a slash (ie, no slash after the folder location
for the web project). So the leading slash HAS to be there for this code to
work on my localhost development machine. However, when uploaded to the
regular site, I find that the leading slash should not be there, as I wind
up redirecting to (for example):

Now, it happens that the double slash still works (it loads the page),
although it DOES effect how some of the code executes under a refresh
(selection of random backgrounds based on cookie settings when a page is
first reloaded - truly bizaar!).

Is there an easy way I can recode the redirect so it will work correctly on
both my localhost development machine and on the web?

Windows EOL Characters Coming In
Have a form that reads a file and presents it for editing in a <TEXTAREA> window. Then saves the data using PHP fwrite. However, if somebody is using a Windows machine when using the form, the resulting file has ^M on the end of each line. Any ideas on how to solve this or get rid of these characters?

Blank Page Is Coming..
I have a problem installing php5 in windows xp. I am getting a blank
page while i process the file.
if i type localhost the iis page is loading. i created a virtual
directory 'php' if i type http://localhost/php means it is showing all
the files in the directory but if i click the file a blank page is
coming.

can anybody give me a solution to resolve this.

POST Variables Not Coming Through
For some reason, at random posts, the post variables don't get thru to
the server. For example, if there is are two text fields: name and
email... (I have register_globals on)... When I try to update the
database with a query and use $name, $email, the $name is missing or
the $email is missing. I am building an intranet application and all
the 20 or so clients run IE. This happens very rarely. Something like
once in 100 updates.

But I can see this in the log files as update contact set name="",
email="asda@pol.com" where contact_id=918. Notice the name field is
blank. I have JS checks in the client side which does not allow blank
name field..

Is this an IE random error? How do I get over this?

Displaying A Pdf Coming Out Of A Mysql-db In A Frame
I have a mysql-database with some pdf in it.
I can send them to a webbrowser using this script:

<?php
//output.php4
$sql = "SELECT * FROM tbfiles WHERE tbfiles.ID={$id}";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
$dateien = mysql_fetch_object($result);
$daten = $dateien->Inhalt;
$name = $dateien->Dateiname;
$groesse = $dateien->Groesse;
$typ = $dateien->Typ;

header("Content-type: $typ");
header("Content-length: $groesse");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=$name");
echo $daten;
?>

My problem is that I get a download dialog where I want to save the pdf but
I want to open it in a fram or iframe like this:
<iframe src="./output.php4?id=129" width="100%" height="400"
name="outputbox">
where id=129 indicates my document.

I get the correct result in Internet Explorer (but not in Opera) if I change
the script like this:

header("Content-type: image/jpeg");
header("Content-Disposition: inline; filename=$name");

Does anybody know a solution for Opera? Then I could provide different
scripts depending on the browser.
Or even better a solution working in all browsers?

Verifying A Link Is Coming From The Current Site
I need to be able to compare $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]; to $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]; and make sure they are coming from the same place.

The returned values are:

$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"];
- http://www.mydomain.com/this/that

$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"];
www.mydomain.com

How would I do that?

Stop Access Counter - Updated - Coming From Outside
I finaly managed to write the script which logs every user access on the site but now I can not stop it!

My counter is a part of my user record in mySQL 'users' table. The idea was to log the user coming from outside world and not his/her browsing the site, which is the case now. I tried the HTTP_REFERER but it is empty. So I tried a little cheating - on the transfer from the login screen I attached to FORM's ACTION string a little cheat in the form of "?referrer=index", which nicely passes this info for me. After checking password I update the counter and put $referrer = "" - which I expected would stop the intra-site updating. To my surprice it did not. It happily updates the counter every time the user hits this page, which could be 4-10 times at one visit.

Masking PHP Mail "From" Address
My host requires me to list a email address from within my domain to send and receive php emails. So in my "From", I have to use something@mydomain.com. Is there any way I can still keep my "From" address as a normal mailto email address (like: "something@mydomain.com"), but display the name of my business in my clients email application? Code:

Sending People To Specific Pages That Are Coming From Specific Pages...

Sending HTML Mail To Outlook Express With Mail()
I'm sending out an HTML mailer using the mail() function in PHP. I'm appending all of the headers to the message. This message displays correctly in Hotmail, Outlook 2000, and even Mac's OSX mail client. But, for some reason, Outlook Expess (on Win XP & OSX) displays the HTML code and doesn't render it.

If, however, the recipient copies the HTML code and composes a new HTML message in Outlook Express, it gets sent correctly.

This particular user is also getting other HTML mailers that display correctly, so I know that the client is capable of accepting HTML mail.

I'm led to believe that PHP's mail() headers are not being interpreted correctly. In fact, they appear as the first 3 lines in the body of the message when viewed in Outlook Express. OK, here are some samples to tie this all together: First, the mail() code I'm using: PHP Code:

Emails Blocked By Certain Mail Hosts? (mail() Function)
I'm using mail($address,$subjectheading,$message,"From:
me@mysite.com") to send emails from my site. For the most part, it
works okay (for example, I receive the mail in my Yahoo box). But when
I check my university email, the message is not delivered. I thought
maybe it was because I had included my web address in the subject
heading and that it was being filtered out, but I removed that from
the subject and it still fails to get through. I'm making a wedding
site for some friends now and they want to be able to email everyone
on their guest list at once, but I'm afraid the same will happen to
some of these addresses as well. Any comments/suggestions on what may
be blocking the mail and how I can get around it? I'm not trying to
send out any kind of mass ad mailings or anything. Just to people on a
mailing list for this site.
