Mail Function Sends Backslashes
I have a contact page that uses the mail function, and whenever a message is sent, anything that should be ignored by using the backslash still upholds. For example, an e-mail I would get could say "I didn/'t do it." instead of "I didn't do it.". Is there any way to fix this?

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:

Backslashes From Textbox Forms Are Returned As Double-backslashes. Why?
When using a form with an input textbox such as the following ... <input type="text" name="field1" size=30> I discovered that when a backslash () is typed into the textbox, when I later check the value (in $field1), I get *two* backslashes. For example, If I type ... c:abcxyz the $field1 variable will then have a value of ... c:abcxyz Why does this happen?

Sends SMTP Mail From Database Info
I've got this script that I want to use to send SMTP mail from a form that allows the user to select recipients from a dropdown list that is created using database info and send a message. Two of the selections in the dropdown list are groups. My script works fine when the user selects only one recipient. I run into trouble when the user selects one of the two groups. The message ends up getting sent numerous times to the people in the group. I received the message 9 times. I think the script is looping more times than it should. Does this make sense so far? Here's the script that receives the form data and connects to the DB to get the recipient email addresses and then sends the message: Code:

Sends A Mail Message When A User Registers
how to get around having our website emails being sent straight to yahoo (and probably hotmail) bulk mail folders. My website sends a mail message when a user registers to both the user and ourselves. Similar when a user changes their password/account info. At present, the mail is pretty simple. For example: mail($email,"Your my_domainname_here account has been updated",$user_message ,"From: my_domainname_here.com"); Ive come across a few other posts with the same problem, does anyone have any updated suggestions? Maybe changing the from header to include an email address? How do message board sites format their email when they send out an email after you change your account info etc? Im looking at some of the headers in my yahoo inbox and there is a piece called "Authentication-Results". I think im going to have to dive in and learn about all the different email header elements.

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.

Use The Mail() Function: Warning: Mail() [function.mail]:

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.

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.

PHP Mail() Function Failing To Send Mail
Our setup: PHP 4.3.11, FreeBSD 5.3 RELEASE, Sendmail 8.1, 1 host environment, 2 jails. Our problem: While we can send email from the command line just fine in one of the jails, we cannot use the php mail() command to send email using sendmail at all. The function, when executed, does absolutely nothing. No error, no reports to the maillog, nothing. I've read somewhere that it's "not possible" to send mail using the php mail() function within a freebsd jail, but i'm nearly certain we have it working this way on another server, but can't seem to figure out the issue.

Send Out The Most Basic E-mail Using PHP And The Mail() Function.
im trying to send out the most basic e-mail using PHP and the mail() function. the problem i have is that it will always return true but the message is never received and im not sure if its even sent. heres my code.... $email = "jonathangilmartin@yahoo.co.uk"; $subject = "Subject!"; $body = "whatever you want to email"; $from = "From: Jon <john@beach.es>"; $p5 = '-f john@beach.es'; if(mail($to,$subj,$mesg,$from,$p5)){ echo " sent ok "; } else { echo " failed "; } I think the problem I have could be due to the server I am hosting the site on, but dont quote me on this as im not sure. The site is hosted on my university server, ive now graduated so I cannot ask the support team if any ports are blocked. Does anyone know a way of testing a servers ports, if this is even necessary of course ! can anyone explain the typical server requirements to send e-mail using PHP, i assume port 25 must be open and the server must accept SMTP. Forgive me for asking a dumb question but I take it that i cannot test the mail() function from my testing apache server installed on my local PC ? Also you will have noticed that i have a yahoo e-mail address, would i have to make any changes to my account to get this working ?? its only a standard free e-mail account.

Sending Mail To Hotmail Using The Mail() Function
I have been doing some research into how to send mail to a Hotmail address using the mail() function provided in PHP, in previous posts I may have been wrong in mentioning that you need to add your mail server to the hotmail PostMaster website using Smart Network Data Services (SNDS), after doing some research I have found that in order to send e-mail to a Hotmail address you need to add/ask your host to add an SPF record to your domain. What is SPF? Well, SPF is a protocol used to eliminate forged e-mails, much like SSL certificates help eliminate phising websites. Microsoft use the SPF record against the SenderID Framework that they have in place. How do I go about obtaining an SPF Record? Easy! use the Microsoft wizard found at: http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/safety/content/technologies/senderid/wizard/ to generate a unique SPF record for your domain, then add it to your DNS server, or ask your web host to do this. I manage my own DNS server, how do I add an SPF record to a domain? To begin, open the DNS MMC from the Administrative Tools menu of your Windows Server 2003 system. Next, find the domain that will host the SPF DNS lookup record. Highlight the folder for the domain, and select Other New Records from the Action menu. You can also access this menu by right-clicking the domain folder. The resource Record Type dialog box will be displayed. From the Select a Resource Record Type area of the screen, scroll down the list and select Text (TXT) from the list. Click Create Record. This will bring up the New Resource Record dialog box to appear. This is where you paste the SPF record generated by the above website ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I hope this helps, I have tried it myself and e-mails went straight to my inbox (not junk mail). Would also appreciate feedback if this works for other providers such as Yahoo! etc as I have not tried it with them Give me your feedback on how it works for you, also if it works possibly make this thread sticky as I'm sure it will resolve many problems for people out there who are denying access to people who have public email addresses.

Mail() Function Doesn't Seem To Be Sending MAIL FROM: Properly
I'm trying to send an email using the mail() function. I've carefully made use of the ini_set(SMTP, "mail.my.server") function to set my SMTP server and also to set my From: address. I'm still getting a "Relaying not explicitly allowed: fakeemail@fakedomain.com" response from the server however, when I try and set a recipient who is outside of my own domain. This makes my think that the From: address is somehow not getting sent to my server properly or that I'm pointing at the wrong server. The confounding thing is that it was working for a while and I don't think I changed anything and it just stopped. I'm running these PHP pages for a client off of one of those cheap hosting services, I think it's called 1dollarhost.com or something, although I can't remember at the moment. Has anyone else had trouble with this or found a solution?

Too Many Backslashes
I have a php page generate a website in html. The entire website is stored in one variable by the end of it. At that point I use it to create a new page but at the same time I have to document.write it with javascript. So I have to go from (as a much smaller example): $template_merge="<div id="1" name='alpha' onclick="myfunction("1")">My text</div> 1"; Then I had to put it into an echo. So I backslashed what I could. $template_merge=str_replace("", "\", $template_merge); $template_merge=str_replace(""", "\"", $template_merge); $template_merge=str_replace(""", """, $template_merge); $template_merge=str_replace(" ", "", $template_merge); $newpage="<?php echo "" . $template_merge . ""; ?>"; So far so good (I think), but then I needed to modify the file so it acted as a temporary javascript file. That means that the new page needs to echo a document.write. $newpage="<?php echo "document.write("" . $template_merge . "")"; ?>"; So the problem is that I don't know what to do to the variable $template_merge to make that last line work. As is the first quote escapes the document.write, causes an error then , displays the rest of the code incorrectly. I've been over it again and again but I keep getting lost in the backslashes when I try to replace them and I don't know how to do it. Is there an easier way to do this or am I just missing something?

What's going on here? Do I need to do some sort of .htaccess edit? Also, old things don't seem to have acquired backslashes it's only new things that I insert into the database that get the backslashes.
