Hi, does someone have a sample script to fire off an email from a PHP form/file in the win2008 environment? I tried the test below using my email address but it doesnt send an email. I created a 'ticket' and support said I should ask someone in the forums. PHP is running on my server, i just cant seem to send an email with it. Ultimately, i want to send an email from a php file that is called from within a Flash movie. I moved from Verio's UNIX host, and this scenario worked there, but not on Discountasp.net emailTest.php : <? mail('[email protected]','test','Ok, it works'); ?>
Bruce just posted a ton of PHP test info from PHP5 on 2008: http://community.discountasp.net/default.aspx?f=34&m=23060 Salute, Mark
Hi, it works now. I added the php letters next to the question mark at the top, such as: <?php go figure, it wouldnt work if it didnt have those letters. I guess windows needs that as unix doesn't.
i have a similar problem..... i want to be able to mail myself a form filled by the visitor of the site. i amusing code like this: _____________________________________________________________________________________ <?php require_once "Mail.php"; function emailHtml($from, $subject, $message, $to) { $host = "localhost"; $username = ""; $password = ""; $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1.' . "\r\n" . 'From:' . $from . "\r\n" . 'To:' . $to . "\r\n"; if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) { echo " success.............!!!!!!!!!!"; $URL="thanku.htm"; header ("Location: $URL"); } else { echo " failed.............!!!!!!!!!!"; $URL="error.htm"; header ("Location: $URL"); } } if (!empty($_POST)) { extract($_POST); } else if (!empty($HTTP_POST_VARS)) { extract($HTTP_POST_VARS); } if ($customer_email==""|| $Names ==""|| $Depart_date_time==""|| $Arrive_date_time=="" || $From_port=="" || $To_port=="") { echo " failed.............!!!!!!!!!!"; $URL="error.htm"; header ("Location: $URL"); } else { $from1 = $customer_email; $headers = "Errors-To: [email protected]"; $to1 = "[email protected]"; $subject1 = "Information Needed:"; $body1 .= "<html>\n"; $body1 .= "\n"; $body1 .= "<font face=\"Arial\" color=\"#0000FF\">Name:&nbsp;". $first . "&nbsp;" . $last . ""; $body1 .= "Company:&nbsp;" . $company . ""; $body1 .= "Phone:&nbsp;" . $phone . ""; $body1 .= "Email:&nbsp;" . $email . ""; $body1 .= "description:&nbsp;" . $descr . ""; $body1 .= "</b></font>"; $body1 .= "</body>\n"; $body1 .= "</html>\n"; emailHtml($from1, $subject1, $body1, $to1); echo " success.............!!!!!!!!!!"; $URL="thanku.htm"; header ("Location: $URL"); } ?> _____________________________________________________________ it does not work. pls help.
i am no php expert but I think the error means that PHP can't find mail.php file. Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Is Mail.php in the same directory as your mailing script? If not; require_once "Mail.php"; will need the full path (e:\web\yoursitecom\htdocs\directory\Mail.php). Also make sure the case is correct (meaning the file is actually named Mail.php and not mail.php). I seem to recall that require_once has some weird case issues in php 4.x running on Windows. Check the documentation for require_once on the php.net site for details. mjp --- DiscountASP.NET
This Mail.php is supposed to be a standard package provided by php pear. and shud be imported without absolute path, i believe.
