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.

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.

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:

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:

Can Mail() Return Error Message?

""; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . ""; $headers .= 'From: ' . $from .

Return Error Message With Mail()?
Is there a way to get the mail() function to return an error if it fails? I'm not talking about an "if" statement where you make up a message, I mean have mail() tell you what was wrong. I have a hard time getting a mail script to work. I have a system where I can select a bunch of users, write an email, and the program sends the emails and tells me which ones were sent (mail() returned true) and which ones failed (mail() returned false). Right now, they all return false.

Parse PHP File And Insert Into Mail Message?
I'm tryng to send email containing nicely HTML formatted data submitted by a user. What I'm trying to do is access a 'template' file with the HTML formatting that echos user variables inside the HTML. What I need to do is read and evaluate that fle, and then use it in the body portion of mail(). The first thing I though to do was something like $body = include("html_page.php"); mail(me@here.com, "nicely formatted page", $body); which obviously doesn't work, but it gives you an idea of what i'm trying to accomplish. How can I evaluate a file and then load it into a variable? Sorry if I'm overlooking something obvious, I haven't been at this very long!

Checking The 'message' Parameter Of The Mail Function
I would imagine it is a fairly common situation for a site to allow the user to enter some text into a field and then to have that text passed to the 'message' parameter of the mail function (http://us4.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php). Is it a good idea to pass this text through some other function first or can it be sent through as is? Is this a case where the maxim 'do not trust input from the user' does not apply?

Using GREP To Display The Subject Of A Mail Message
Okay, I've been looking around trying to find a way to do this, and I can't figure it out so far. I'm still a real novice at PHP coding, and I'm pretty much stuck at this point. I have a PHP file that will automatically parse a directory listing for any given directory into a nice and pretty format, but what I'm using it for requires some additional functionality that I can't quite figure out. I want to list the contents of the mail folders on a linux system (no problem with that part), but I want the page to display the subject of the mail files rather than the actual file names. It will also need to display the "from" information from the mail message. The only way that I can think to do this is using the Unix GREP command. I've found ways to make the PHP code actually GREP the file, but I can't figure out how to actually show exactly what I want. The basic functionality of the page is like this at the moment: $arsize = sizeof($files); for($i=0;$i<$arsize;$i++) { if (strrpos($files[$i], '.')) ($ext = strtolower(substr($files[$i], strrpos($files[$i], '.')+1))); else ($ext = ''); if($filetypes[$ext]) { $icon = $filetypes[$ext]; } $filename = $files[$i]; if(strlen($filename)>43) { $filename = substr($files[$i], 0, 40) . '...' } $fileurl = $leadon . $files[$i]; if($forcedownloads) { $fileurl = $_SESSION['PHP_SELF'] . '?dir=' . urlencode($leadon) . '&download=' . urlencode($files[$i]); } ?> <tr class="<?=$class;?>" id="listing"> <td width="24" align="center" valign="middle"> <input type="checkbox" /> </td> <td width="16" align="center" valign="middle"> <a href="<?=$fileurl;?>"><img src="dlf/<?=$icon;?>" alt="<?=$files[$i];?>" /></a> </td> <td width="300" align="left" valign="middle"> <a href="<?=$fileurl;?>"><strong><?=$filename;?></strong></a> </td> <td width="170" align="right" valign="middle"> <em><?=round(filesize($leadon.$files[$i])/1024);?>KB</em> </td> <td width="250" align="right" valign="middle"> <?=date ("M d Y h:i:s A", filemtime($leadon.$files[$i]));?> </td> </tr> I'm thinking I should be able to use some code to GREP the actual files to find the literal string "Subject:", but then I'm not sure how to actually pull what should BE the subject into a variable to display. I found the following code floating around on the Net for doing the GREP (although I'm not entirely sure I understand it all, but I'm gonna do some research on that part in a bit): $handle = popen('grep --max-count=1 Subject: /path/to/file.txt', 'r'); $output = fread($handle, 2096); pclose($handle); I figure I can use this to find the line where the subject of the message is, so the trick becomes how to get that subject setup into a variable for display in the table. Then, of course, I'm going to need to do the same basic thing for the "From:" part of the message as well.

I have an idea on how to implement this, what do you think? 1. When a user registeres create a really long hard to guess "token" of some sort and store it in the DB 2. When they recieve the e-mail after signup, they click a link that sends them to the page with their token in the URL, and it "verfies" the account.
