I'm avinga problem with the mail function. I need specific reply to and from addresses which are in the format of URL
I set up the mail function mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: URL Reply-To: URL");
The problem is that it ignores the whatever and sends the email from URL. Any ideas how I could fix this or why it's doing it? Thanks a ton!

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:

I am in the process of creating a page where a user can type in his e-mail address (or their friends), and then hit 'submit' and each of the address' will recieve in their mailbox an e-mail with either a .zip or a .exe attached. (The file is less than 100k). I have a script that worked for sending .gif files as attachments, but as soon as I tried changing the file to .zip or .exe it no longer functions properly. For .EXE files it turns them into files with the extension .ZL9 PHP Code:

E-mail Sends
Here is what I am trying to do... 1. Search a database for people that want to receive a newsletter (works) 2. Get the e-mail address and business code (works) 3. Get the business name for the newsletter based on #2 (works) 4. Get the specials for the business for the day of the week (works) 5. Send an e-mail to each person (1) including the business name (3) and the daily specials (4) (kinda works) We will say that the business has 3 specials for the day. Everything works except for including all the specials for the day in the e-mail. All I can get it to do is display the last special, not all 3. Code:

Sends The Email Successfully Even If There Is Illegal Charactors?
The remaining 2 problems are even though it validates the email address with preg_match and echos an error, it still sends the mail and it checks for invalid charactors but (you guessed it) it still send the mail. The script works fine, it checks if email, name and subject are filled out and if not writes an advice on the page. It also checks for illegal charactors and correctly formed email address and writes the error message correctly. The problem is that it sends the email successfully even if there is illegal charactors and/or malformed email address, in other words it knows about the problems but doesn't prevent the email being sent.

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.

A Link In An Email That, On Click, Sends The Headerinfo To A Server
Is it posible to make a link (to a php-file on a server) in an email that, when you click on it, sends info about who the reciver of the email is? Lets say I send out an email thru an alias to a group of people and I want to give them the opportunity to sign up for an event using that link. Those that click the link are added to a post in a database (MySQL), eg. with their email adress, initials, name... whatever. I guess that it would be easy if it just takes the contest of the to-field in the emails headerinfo? If a spammer can do it, so can I :o) And... if you have an answer please assume that I know practicly nothing about php :o) I have made a few sites with php and MySQL, but nothing fancy - just simple guestbooks etc.

"send Email" Sends Symbols Instead Of Accent Marks

Mail() And Email Forwarding
I'm experiencing problems with sending mail using mail() to forwarded email accounts. The problem seems to revolve around the optional 4th argument of mail(), namely 'additional headers'. It seems that when I populate this 4th argument of mail(), any emails sent to an email forwarding service email address (ukreg/fasthosts actually) fail to reach their destination. Direct email addresses seem to work fine. Why is this?. Has anyone any ideas?
