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:

Putting Info Into A DB / Passing Info Between Pages
I have run into an issue...I have posted previously, but my scenario has changed. Here is the situation... If a user clicks on a link ('abc123' for example) I want to insert into my database some predefined information about 'abc123' - I have assigned a value that is echoed in future pages for 'abc123'. So, what I need is some mechanism to, when a user clicks 'abc123', have a pre-defined username and password be entered into the database. I need this so future pages can utilize the session values.

No Mysql Info Through Info();

SMTP In PHP 4 And 5
Right now I use an SMTP library to send out automated e-mails from my applications. We're looking to upgrade to PHP 5, and PHP 5 doesn't like the SMTP library I'm using. Anyone have an SMTP library that they like to use, that's compatible in PHP 4 and 5? It needs to be able to do authentication and attachments.

PHP 5 & SMTP
Anyone know if PHP 5 has built in support for communicating with SMTP servers that require a username and password? Right now, as everyone knows, PHP 4 has built in support for communicating with SMTP servers that do not require a username and password, but in order to communicate with those that do, one needs to do a lot of extra stuff ... and publically available classes to handle the communication do exist.

POP Before SMTP
a friend using Windows wanted to send mail, but he got timeout errors after editing php.ini Mail section smtp = smtp.server.com sendmail_from = friend@server.com I realized that was because of the need to "POP before SMTP", so I made him a function. It's working ... for his server (and hopefully other servers too). Can this function be improved? Is it ok to fsockopen in blocking mode? What about timeout values? Here it is, hope it suits more Windows people without a mail server and the need to POP before SMTP <?php function POP_authenticate($username, $password, $server) { $socket = fsockopen($server, 110); // POP3 port if (!$socket) { return "Couldn't connect to $server:110 "; } $res = fgets($socket, 512); // read +OK if (substr(trim($res), 0, 3) != "+OK") { return $res; // return the error } fputs($socket, "USER $username "); // send user $res = fgets($socket, 512); // read +OK if (substr(trim($res), 0, 3) != "+OK") { return $res; } fputs($socket, "PASS $password "); // send pass $res = fgets($socket, 512); // read +OK if (substr(trim($res), 0, 3) != "+OK") { return $res; } fputs($socket, "QUIT "); // quit ### I don't care for errors after quitting :-) fclose($socket); return false; } ?> and this is an example on how you can use it: <?php $username = "netuser"; $password = "pAzw04D"; $POPserver = "pop.server.com"; ### php.ini's SMTP must correspond to this server ### and sendmail_from must be from this server (??) $msg = POP_authenticate($username, $password, $POPserver); if ($msg === FALSE) { mail("someone@somewhere.com", "PHP test", "Line 1 Line 2"); $msg = "mail (probably) sent. "; } exit($msg); ?>

Smtp Connection
I am having difficulty connection to an smtp host. I am using the following code but I don't think I fully understand what smtp host can be used. function setSMTPParams($host = null, $port = null, $helo = null, $auth = null, $user = null, $pass = null) { if (!is_null($host)) $this->smtp_params['host'] = $host; if (!is_null($port)) $this->smtp_params['port'] = $port; if (!is_null($helo)) $this->smtp_params['helo'] = $helo; if (!is_null($auth)) $this->smtp_params['auth'] = $auth; if (!is_null($user)) $this->smtp_params['user'] = $user; if (!is_null($pass)) $this->smtp_params['pass'] = $pass; } I don't fully understand that the $helo parameter is needed for. Should I be able to access any smtp host which I own. I have two ISP account and each have an smtp service. I use them for email. I notice I can only use the smtp service associated with the ISP I am currently connected to. Is that a common restriction which is the same reason I am prevented from accessing the service from my php script? Maybe the question I should this. What type of smtp account do I need in order to send an email from my php script?

Remote Smtp
I have an account registered with a free server. It's kind of like those free ones that you can register for, like hyperPHP for instance, that have PHP and MySQL. I need to use a remote gmail SMTP account to send mail, however. As you know, the default for the mail() function is to use localhost. How can I change this so that the mail() function uses my gmail account's smtp server (smtp.gmail.com)? I have the outgoing port, username and password. All I need to know is how to change the settings. Also, note that since this is a free server registration, I don't have access to the internal software running the server. All I have is the account.

How Can I Detect SMTP?
How can I detect SMTP? I have a php script that wont send out an email, no errors, so I think the SMTP is disabled? I'm not sure how that part works. This script isn't for me, and I don't know if there server will have the capabilities to send php email. So, before I tell php to send the email, I want to see if it can send an email. So I have a few questions: 1.) How can I detect SMTP settings? 2.) How do I enable or install SMTP? 3.) Is there a way to turn SMTP on from a PHP script?

Phpmailer/smtp
my phpmailer script, which emails a cart confirmation to a customer, does not work every now and then. However, I've identified when this happens, and am guessing at the problem. At work, we have wireless connectivity, and the way they have their wireless setup, I can NOT send mail, via outlook, using my websites smtp server. The wireless connection at work FORCES me to use their smtp server in order to send mail via outlook. And this is where i have problems with phpmailer. So is this because of the same reason? Is it because the phpmailer uses smtp and the isp that i am using here at work will not allow me to use another smtp other than theirs?

Email Acknowledgement Using SMTP
There are several codes in PHP to send Emails using SMTP or any other technique. The normal process is that once you click the submit button, it displays a "message sent" or "message not sent" depending on your logging into the webserver and other facts. If the "To Address (mail id)" is a wrong mail id also the message "message sent" popsup of the authentication is right. Later, in the course, we receive a mail in our webserver (senders mail id) that the message was not delivered. My query at this juncture is that "Can't this message not delivered to the target To Address (mail id) not be trapped in the sending PHP program itself". Please respond only if there are any solutions.

Bulk Emailing With SMTP
I'm researching ways of using PHP/mySQL to send a single HTML formatted email message with attachments to many, perhaps 1000 recipients. From what I've read in this forum it seems a good idea to bulk mail by sending the mail message and recipient list to a SMTP server rather than repeatedly calling the mail() function. This avoids the situation where the server stops a php script from executing due to time out. What does SMTP support that makes it more effective for this sort of thing? also is the phpmailer class from Source Forge an effective php script for bulk mailing HTML formatted email to many users?
