I have created a simple php mailing script seeing a tutorial. But the problem is the script works but the email doesn’t go. I got stuck with the mail host thingy. The guy uses his mailhost code like
ini_set(“SMTP”, “mailhost.*******.co.uk”);
So I got stuck with this, what should be my mailhost, I have a domain with hosting. The provider just gave me three addresses which are
cpanel.*******.com
webmail..com
ftp..com
So how should I write the code, and I also got 10 POP3 email, i made some email accounts with it but how can I send the emails?
here is my code for index.php and send.php:
<?php
require ('connect.php');
echo "<h1>Mailing List</h1> Send to <p>";
echo "<form action='send.php' method='GET'>";
//setup variable
$mailcount = 0;
$namecount = 0;
$get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mailinglist where send='1'");
while ($getrow = mysql_fetch_assoc($get))
{
echo "<input type = 'checkbox' name='mail_".$mailcount++."' value'".$getrow['email']."' CHECKED><br>".$getrow['firstname']." ".$getrow['lastname']." (".$getrow['email'].")<br>";
}
echo "</form>"
?>
here is send.php
<?php
require ('connect.php');
//change php.ini SMTP file
ini_set("SMTP", "mailhost.*******.co.uk"); <-------This line, please help
//standard mail header
$headers = "foodecrp@split.starhostbd.com";
//get message
//loop through
for($x=0; $x<count($_GET);$x++)
{
if ($_GET["mail_$x"])
{
//mail setup
$to = $_GET["mail_$x"];
$subject = "Newsletter";
$body = "Dear ".$_GET["name_$x"]."
\
\
$message \
\
FoodieCorp.
";
mail($to, $subject, $body, $header);
}
}
echo "All email has been processed.";
?>
Well I meant what should I write in that line? any address of mine? I tried removing the ini set line but the emails doesnt go, but the message appears all emails has been processed
Tried man doesn’t work. says 2 emails sent but I get nothing in my inbox but failure message in my header email outbox. Okay I got into cpanel and saw some Outgoing mail server and outgoing mail server (SSL) settings as below:
Manual Settings
Mail Server Username: foodecrp
Incoming Mail Server: mail.******.com
Incoming Mail Server: (SSL) split.bd.com
Outgoing Mail Server: mail..com (server requires authentication) port 466
Outgoing Mail Server: (SSL) split.*******bd.com (server requires authentication) port 465
Supported Incoming Mail Protocols: POP3, POP3S (SSL/TLS), IMAP, IMAPS (SSL/TLS)
Supported Outgoing Mail Protocols: SMTP, SMTPS (SSL/TLS)
i tried with these Outgoing mail server on Php ini set in my 1st send.php file apart from yours with these, still I get no emails but failure messages.
