Really?? I thought this mail tutorial thing is the first on Xisto. Can you give me 2 or 3 mail scripts that people have submitted in the past?

I'd just like to add that mail headers should use \r\n line breaks, as per RFC 2822 section 2.1.

 

Also if you want something more 'complicated', use PHPMailer.

So instead of

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n";

We should use

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";  

???

 

And what php mailer?

Hi, I want to know whether we can use such scripts on webhosts without php support. Also I want to know whether we can edit these php scripts and how to edit them?Sunny Kumar GuptaFounder,The KreativeNetworks

hey, just a little member to member tip Kreative Net.: Deep Innovations, you shouldn't be typing Sunny Kumar GuptaFounder,
The KreativeNetworks at the end of all of your posts we have a signature option for this Click Here for a tutorial on how to set-up the signature

And no you cannot use this script on a non PHP supporting site, because in order for this to work the page extention would need to be .php, therefor the host must support php and have mail enabled for it to work!

as for editing it, you would need to do/learn that yourself because it is a bit of a big process..lol but what do you mean by edit...maybe i can help you with it!

I used to use a script similar to this for my contact page. However, lately I have been getting spam email sent via my contact page. The reason for this is I did not have adequate validation on the fields for the form. While I had the form checking the various fields exist, I did not check for a valid email address. This script will suffer from the same problem, to resolve it I suggest inserting the following code as shown.

$from = $_POST["from"];  //gets the name of the person  $email = $_POST["email"];  //gets their email address//start email address check codefunction check_email($email) { 	if(ereg("([[:alnum:]\.\-]+)(\@[[:alnum:]\.\-]+\.+)", $email)) {		return 1;	}	else{		return 0;	} }$email_ok = check_email($email);if ($email_ok == 0) {echo("The email address you entered is invalid");exit;}//end email address check code  $content = "This message is from $from whose email address is $email.\r\n-----------\r\n ";

This checks the email address is in the form of "someone@domain.com", if it is not the script will show the message, "The email address you entered is invalid" and exit the script. While this will not stop the message being sent when a fake email address is entered, I have found some of these spammers tend to not use an address. Hopefully this will save you from some of the spam mail I have suffered from.
