You need to separate each set of header elements with a "\r\n", not "\n \n".

so your saying like this here

Code:




<?


include("header.php");


OpenTable();


?>





<?


$EmailTo = "email.com";


$Subject = "subject";


$App = "Real Name: $RealName\r Game Name: $GameName\n What Game: $Game\r Age: $Age\n Location: $Location\r TimeZone: $TimeZone\n Email Address: $EmailAddress\r Instant Messenger: $IM\n Messenger Type: $Messenger\r Hours spent online per week: $Hours\n Other Clans: $Clans\r About yourself: $About\n Can you make Donations?: $Pay\r Where did you hear about our Group?: $Where\n Can you Mod?: $mod\r IP Address: $REMOTE_ADDR";


mail($EmailTo,$Subject,$App,"From: $EmailAddress\n");


?>





<?


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");


?>

if not small detail off this code
tryed it like this still no email

I am sorry, I should have looked closer. The last string being passed into the "mail" function needs to include valid headers. I have used the following which works well for me:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
."Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n"
."From: $SenderName <$EmailAddress>\r\n"
."Return-Path: $EmailAddress\r\n"
."Reply-To: $EmailAddress\r\n"
."X-Mailer: MSHNL\r\n"
."X-Priority: 6\r\n";

And then I pass $headers in where you have your "from: " string. These headers are if you want HTML formatted email. If all you care about is text, then change the Content-Type from "text/html" to "text/text".

The "X-Mailer" can be changed to whatever you wish.

You may want to go back to using the older version of $App.

No, more like this:

Code:




<? 


include("header.php"); 


OpenTable(); 





$EmailTo = "emailcom"; 


$Subject = "subject"; 


$App = "Real Name: $RealName\n Game Name: $GameName\n What Game: $Game\n Age: $Age\n Location: $Location\n TimeZone: $TimeZone\n Email Address: $EmailAddress\n Instant Messenger: $IM\n Messenger Type: $Messenger\n Hours spent online per week: $Hours\n Other Clans: $Clans\n About yourself: $About\n Can you make Donations?: $Pay\n Where did you hear about our Group?: $Where\n Can you Mod?: $mod\n IP Address: $REMOTE_ADDR"; 


$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" 


   ."Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" 


   ."From: $SenderName <$EmailAddress>\r\n" 


   ."Return-Path: $EmailAddress\r\n" 


   ."Reply-To: $EmailAddress\r\n" 


   ."X-Mailer: MSHNL\r\n" 


   ."X-Priority: 6\r\n"; 


mail($EmailTo,$Subject,$App,$headers); 





CloseTable(); 


include("footer.php"); 


?>

Give this a try. It may require some "tweaking", but this should be really close to what you need.

You say this:

Quote:

but still no email

That is what we need to concentrate on. I would set aside the whole form / process and concentrate on making sure you can even get the mail to work. One step at a time...

You say "no email", but what exactly are you saying? Do you get an email, but with the wrong information it it, or simply no mail at all?

Where are you testing this? Is this on a local test system or on a remotely hosted system? Have you checked to make sure that php is set up to mail?

Try simply this:

Code:




<?php 


$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" 


   ."Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" 


   ."From: My Name <validemail@address.com>\r\n" 


   ."Return-Path: validemail@address.com\r\n" 


   ."Reply-To: validemail@address.com\r\n" 


   ."X-Mailer: MSHNL\r\n" 


   ."X-Priority: 6\r\n"; 


mail(validemail@address.com,"Test Email","Email Body Text",$headers); 





?>

Substitute the "validemail@address.com" with valid email addresses to help you test this. Save this as a separate PHP script and run it outside of PHP-Nuke.

im testing it on a host and im getting no email sent at all to the email account not even a blank page not a thing sent

and this email is not going to the site main email this is going to like lets say a hotmail or yahoo or an aim email account

Posted: Fri Sep 08, 2006 10:57 pm

If this is a PHP-Nuke installation, are you getting registration emails? If this is not a PHP-Nuke installation, sounds like a potential host setup problem. You may need to ask them if the PHP function "mail" is setup to work properly. Ask them for a test script to help you validate.

Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 10:15 am

its php-nuke and i just setup an email account with the provider and the email worked fine.email was sent right away

and for the recruit form still not emailing

also let me add i even tryed add the provider email to it and still did not send for some reson it will not send but if i email the accout threw outlook or a message program it will send an email to that account so i can only think that the script is not working..also tryed this script with nuke 7.8 and 7.9 i have 2 site that im trying it with and both no go

Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 5:05 pm

If I may, Just a simple miss I believe, Montego Definatley Got this right, Ive tested it and am trying to help debug whats wrong with it.

change
mail(validemail@address.com,"Test Email","Email Body Text",$headers);

To
mail('validemail@address.com',"Test Email","Email Body Text",$headers);

Sorry I think it was just a simple miss. Hope this helps and dont forget to use VALID e-mails.

Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 5:51 pm

Yep... I see it now... Thanks "D"!

Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:50 pm

what do i do with this script here

Code:




<?php 


$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" 


   ."Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" 


   ."From: My Name <validemail@address.com>\r\n" 


   ."Return-Path: validemail@address.com\r\n" 


   ."Reply-To: validemail@address.com\r\n" 


   ."X-Mailer: MSHNL\r\n" 


   ."X-Priority: 6\r\n"; 


mail('validemail@address.com',"Test Email","Email Body Text",$headers);  





?>

do i change all the validemail@address.com to my email account?
and were to i put this file here in the root and lanch it and what does it do send an email?
if it does not send an email then what?

Posted: Sat Sep 09, 2006 9:58 pm

also i did a seach of some recruit form and found 2 of them and i had the same problem with them as i have right now with mine here

Yes.

Yes, as we need to debug why this isn't working and we need to take PHP-Nuke out of the "equation" right now.

Quote:

Don't know. Keep trying to tweak this, but definitely get the host involved as I do not see why this would not work.

Posted: Sun Sep 10, 2006 6:08 pm

ok this what i did changed all the
validemail@address.com
to my email and uploaded it to my root
went to the website
www.website/test.php
test php is the name of the script and when i went there all i got was a blank page and no email sent to the account

well i even tryed disabling NukeSentinel and trying both script and still both no email
also i have 2 providers from 2 diffrent sites that im trying to get this to run on

www.urldownload.com
&
www.dot5hosting.com

Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 5:40 am

KillerCrazzy, I have run out of ideas. The headers that you see here are what I use for the HTML Newsletter, which is a mass-mailer kind of script. Please repost here exactly the contents of your test.php script and I'll take one last look.

Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2006 1:32 pm

ok here is what i have in the test this is a fake email so

Code:




<?php 


$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" 


   ."Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n" 


   ."From: My Name <killercrazzy@hotmail.com>\r\n" 


   ."Return-Path: killercrazzy@hotmail.com\r\n" 


   ."Reply-To: killercrazzy@hotmail.com\r\n" 


   ."X-Mailer: MSHNL\r\n" 


   ."X-Priority: 6\r\n"; 


mail('killercrazzy@hotmail.com',"Test Email","Email Body Text",$headers); 





?>

think i might know whats going on the site will not let me post html so how to add that to accept html on my site here is it in the main or header i dont rember and what is the code that i have to add

Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 6:14 am

I am confused. I do not understand what HTML has to do with this? If you are saying that you are trying to post some code and the forums here are not allowing it, can you place it into a text file and then just post a link to it so we can download it?

Thanks.

Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 10:44 am

nm this is a diffrent problem that this one site is not showing any html links on the news and shoutbox and in none of the blocks i think that problem is in the config.php but i dont rember what i hadde to change if yea know that one you can post that. oyea this is on the 7.8 Nuke Patched 3.2B

Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 5:55 am

Only one topic per thread then please... per our rules here. Looks at the definition of the $AllowableHTML array and see if you can get that to work... or search here for similar questions / answers.

Unfortunately, I am at a loss as to what is going on with your mail. Are you sure the mail is not being sent? Could it be getting buried in a spam / bulk folder maybe? I have not used hotmail in a long, long, long time, so not sure if they have "turned up" the spam blocking.... other than this, I am plum out of ideas. Sad

Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2006 6:29 pm

ok i got the test email to work it sent me a email that said
Email Body Text
what i did was turn down the spam settings in the account but i still get no email sent from that form

so i went back to the old way i did the apply.php

Code:




<?


include("header.php");


OpenTable();


?>





<?


$EmailTo = "myemail@whatever.com";


$Subject = "I would Like to Join Your Group";


$App = "Real Name: $RealName\n Game Name: $GameName\n What Game: $Game\n Age: $Age\n Location: $Location\n TimeZone: $TimeZone\n Email Address: $EmailAddress\n Instant Messenger: $IM\n Messenger Type: $Messenger\n Hours spent online per week: $Hours\n Other Clans: $Clans\n About yourself: $About\n Can you make Donations?: $Pay\n Where did you hear about our Group?: $Where\n Can you Mod?: $mod\n IP Address: $REMOTE_ADDR";


mail($EmailTo,$Subject,$App,"From: $EmailAddress\n");


?>





head>


title>Thank You</  title>


 meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<?


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");


?>

And well it sent the email but have too look at the code a bit more cuz some info was not filled in when i filled it in

Posted: Fri Sep 15, 2006 7:33 am

You are welcome. Just glad you are at least getting emails out now (or, actually, receiving them).
