 |
|
k i wrote this script myself and i remember it working on another server but now when i put iton mine, i do not know why it will not email myself.
The htm file looks like:
| Code: | <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to the Alumni Contact Information Page!</title>
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST" action="mailer.php">
<h1><center><b>Alumni Contact Information</b></center></h1>
<center>
Please just take a couple of minutes and fill out this form so we can keep our Alumni Database Up-to-Date.Thankyou!If you have any trouble viewing this page please contact the Alumni Officer at: blahb@mtsu.edu Also Currently some of the fields are having trouble recieving some of the information, so until we have a solution for the problem expect a phone call from you Alumni Officer.

then the php file.. or the mailer file which actually mails it 2 wherever i am requesting looks like so:
| Code: | <?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
$to = "extremebondagent@earthlink.net";
$from ="extremebondagent@earthlink.net";
$subject = "Alumni Contact Information";
$id_number = $_POST['id_number'];
$first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
$middle_name = $_POST['middle_name'];
$last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
$city = $_POST['city'];
$sel_State = $_POST['sel_State'];
$zip_code = $_POST['zip_code'];
$initiation_date = $_POST['zip_code'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$preferrable_phone_number = $_POST['preferrable_phone_number'];
$secondary_phone_number = $_POST['secondary_phone_number'];
$body = "From: $last_name, $first_name\n ID Number: $id_number\n First Name: $first_name\n Middle Name: $middle_name\n Last Name: $last_name\n Address: $address\n City: $city\n State: $sel_State\n Zip Code: $zip_code\n Iniation Date: $iniation_date\n Email: $email\n Preferrable Phone Number: $preferrable_phone_number\n Secondary Phone Number: $secondary_phone_number";
echo "Data has been submitted to $to! Thankyou for your time.";
mail($to, $from, $subject, $body);
} else {
echo "blarg!";
}
?> |
after i hit submit on the alumnicontacts page i get this error:
| Code: | Data has been submitted to extremeuniqueagent@earthlink.net! Thankyou for your time.
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 <, >: missing or malformed local part in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\ATO\mailer.php on line 22 |
Also the code that is setup in my php.ini file that is located in my C:/Windows file and in my php5 folder looks like so:

error 501 is an invalid email address.
Open php.ini
Remove the semicolon ;
PS: Thats just one thing I noticed, it may still give you error, but at least your php.ini file will be correctly set.
*I edited your email address in the example because you should never post an email address on Forums, it leaves it open to bots, with the result you will get loads of spam in your mail box.

You cannot use SMTP Auth without a php script with a function to do it for you. The php.ini doesn't support SMTP Auth in any way what-so-ever.

razorsedge.
I just found out that you can not authenticate using the php mail(); function. Iv found some documentation that may or may not help. Sorry i couldnt help with your script (i never had to worry about authentication :/) Anyway here is the link:

Sending via mail() can be tricky due to header configuration semantics.
However the phpMailer class has a lot of built in stuff to take having to know all that stuff out of the equation. It allows using SMTP, as well as sending HTML in mail bodies.
Good luck to ya.
