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:

Sending Mail With Info From Database
Can anyone explain the best way to retireive info from mysql and then send it in an email? I'm completely lost on this. I can run a query of the database just fine, and I know how to use the mail function. The problem is I cannot figure out how to use them together. Anyone?

Sends .EXE Or .ZIP Using Mail()
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:

Mail Function Sends Backslashes

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.

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:

$SMTP = Fsockopen(mail.example.org, 25);
I tried the following posted by Nickoons and get a parse error: unexpected T-string in this line - $SMTP = fsockopen("mail.example.org", 25); I had the same issue. My old server worked fine.. and when I migrated the site to its own dedicated box, this function stopped working even though sendmail was working just fine. I also noticed that PHP's mail() function is very slow. I run a mailing list, and I created a web-based system to manage and deploy all of these emails. I ended up creating my own function to replace PHP's mail() function, which A) works on my new system, and B) is many times faster than PHP's mail() function. Here it is, in case you'd like to use it. It uses sockets to connect directly to the SMTP server of your choice: function SendMail($ToName, $ToEmail, $FromName, $FromEmail, $Subject, $Body, $Header) { $SMTP = fsockopen("smtp.sitename.com", 25); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "HELO sitename.com"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "MAIL From: $FromEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "RCPT To: $ToEmail"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "DATA"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fputs($SMTP, "$Header"); fputs($SMTP, "From: $FromName <$FromEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "To: $ToName <$ToEmail>"); fputs($SMTP, "Subject: $Subject"); fputs($SMTP, "$Body."); fputs($SMTP, "QUIT"); $InputBuffer = fgets($SMTP, 1024); fclose($SMTP); } I believe I've modified the script sufficiently that it doesn't include anything specific to my configuration.. I apologize if I haven't. You'll need to replace "smtp.sitename.com" and "sitename.com" with your server's information.

How To Send Mail With SMTP
What I want to do, is create an email form, where the user can select emails by groups from a database. So based on what group the user selects, I'm guessing I'll use SQL select query to select the appropriate user emails and print them out to the address line of the form. But I need to know the actual coding for SMTP. Is it much more complicated than the mail() function?

Mail() And SMTP Authentication
It would seem BT Internet have just turned on SMTP mail authentication although they have been talking about it for years as I now get the following error message using the mail function on my local machine which worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 530 authentication required - Your email could not be sent. To fix this you must make a simple change to your email (known as SMTP authentication). For advice visit www.btyahoo.com/smtp or call 0800 328 9968 Needless to say "Advice" relates to Outlook Express and little else, certainly not PHP. Anyone know the changes I need to make and where, parameters for the mail() function or in the php.ini file perhaps. Naturally I know the information relating to mail username and password.

PHPmailer - SMTP Vs Mail & Time Out
I am trying to send out 50,000 + emails through PHPmailer. I am using the $mail->Send();. Is it better to use SMTP so my server won't get blocked for spam? Is SMTP better for the server resources, it's a lot of HTML mail going out? The PHPmailer program does not seem to be sending out all the emails and it seems to time out. Is this due to the max_execution_time in the php configuration? Or has anyone used the PHPmailer to send out over 100,000+ emails? Our email list is growing and I need to make sure all emails are going out.

Mail Function And Smtp Problems
I'm in the process of building a web-site. The script i've written for registering an account send an e-mail to a user specified e-mail address containing instructions for account activation. My problem is that the e-mails wont send. I know this is something to do with smtp and mailservers. My knowledge in this particular area is minimal however, and i simply cannot find any competent documentation, explaining what i need to do, anywhere. My isp is AOL and i would like to use their smtp server if possible for sending the e-mails. I've changed the configuration of php.ini to connect to them. I do know that this requires authentication, but i have no idea how to do this.
