.php mailer HELP!?

I was wondering if someone with a little more experience could take a moment to look this over for me. I created a html form that corresponds with the .php file below and for the most part it works perfectly. The only flow is that it sends me one email with all of the info from the form and then also another blank duplicate email. Any idea what's causing this? Could it be from my server?
<?php
/* Subject and Email Variables */
$emailSubject = 'Website Reservation Request';

$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];

$besttime = $_POST['besttime'];

$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
/* Results rendered as HTML */
$theResults = <<<EOD
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
?>

Impossible to say based on what has been posted here. If you look at the following section of code, it looks as though the forum software has swallowed part of your code:
/* Results rendered as HTML */
$theResults = <<<EOD
EOD;
echo "$theResults";
See the following post for instructions on how to post code: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/427712.
However, from what's visible so far, there should be no reason for a second email.

Need help with PHP mail script [was: Can someone please help me?]

I'm trying to collect data from a form and email it. I'm using form2mail.php and the problem is that the email is not collecting the form info and it has the same email address in the From: and To: lines. I'm really stuck and would appreciate any help.

Using PHP to process an online form and send the input by email is very simple. The mail() function takes a minimum of three arguments, namely: the address the mail is being sent to, the subject line, and the body of the email as a single string. The reason some people use scripts like form2mail.php is because they don't have the knowledge or patience to validate the user input to make sure it's safe to send.
Rather than attempt to trawl through your complex form looking for the problems, I would suggest starting with a couple of simple tests.
First of all, create a PHP page called mailtest.php containing the following script:
<?php
$to = '[email protected]'; // use your own email address
$subject = 'PHP mail test';
$message = 'This is a test of the mail() function.';
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message);
if ($sent) {
echo 'Mail was sent';
} else {
echo 'Problem sending mail';
?>
Save the script, upload it to your server, and load it into a browser. If you see "Mail is sent", you're in business. If not, it probably means that the hosting company insists on the fifth argument being supplied to mail(). This is your email address preceded by -f. Change the line of code that sends the mail to this:
$sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, null, '[email protected]');
Obviously, replace "[email protected]" with your own email address.
If this results in the mail being sent successfully, you will need to adapt the code in form2mail.php to accept the fifth parameter. You need to change the following line, which is a few lines from the end of the script:
if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader))
Change it to this:
if (!mail($MailToAddress, $MailSubject, $mailMessage,$mailHeader, '[email protected]'))
Again, use your own email address instead of "[email protected]".
Once you have determined whether you need the fifth argument, test form2mail.php with a very simple form like this:
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="form2mail.php">
<p>
    <label for="name">Name:</label>
    <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
</p>
<p>
    <label for="email">Email:</label>
    <input type="text" name="email" id="email" />
</p>
<p>
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="boat cleaning" id="options_0" />
      Boat cleaning</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="RV cleaning" id="options_1" />
      RV cleaning</label>
    <br />
    <label>
      <input type="checkbox" name="options[]" value="motorcycle cleaning" id="options_2" />
      Motorcycle cleaning</label>
</p>
<p>
    <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
</p>
</form>
If that works, you can start to make the form more complex and add back your JavaScript validation.

Need help with PHP mail script

I have created a log in system . In that when the user completes the registration process an auto reply(auto-reply@domain) will generate and sent this to users email id regarding about the user name and password (Lo gin Details). After formal approval from the admin the user will get a user activation mail with log in link.
But , my problem is these are work only for mail accounts from my domain only(test@domain). its not send any of above mentioned details to other mail services like gmail or yahoo etc.
i discussed this   with some others, they said its the problem with your mail function   configuration. but i didn't get any needful information as am a beginner in PHP scripting.
i have contacted this with my hosting service they said its the problem with php mail () function and use php mailer() instead mail().
please give me a solution for the same..

I have created a log in system . In that when the user completes the registration process an auto reply(auto-reply@domain) will generate and sent this to users email id regarding about the user name and password (Lo gin Details). After formal approval from the admin the user will get a user activation mail with log in link.
But , my problem is these are work only for mail accounts from my domain only(test@domain). its not send any of above mentioned details to other mail services like gmail or yahoo etc.
i discussed this   with some others, they said its the problem with your mail function   configuration. but i didn't get any needful information as am a beginner in PHP scripting.
i have contacted this with my hosting service they said its the problem with php mail () function and use php mailer() instead mail().
please give me a solution for the same..
Here am ataching my code..

My wife has left me for four weeks, favouring to be with our son who lives 4,000 km away. I now have to cook for myself and the steaks taste horrible. What am I doing wrong?
If you do not know what I have (not) done to make the steak taste horrible, my question is as hard to answer as your question above.
Please give us more info like giving us the code that sends the page to the homepage rather than to the previous page.

PHP form help - results not appearing in email

Hi I have set up a simple entry form, and I am submiting it
using PHP to my email address, It works well when you fill the form
in and send it, I receive the email however the email only displays
the questions and not the answers that have been filled in on the
form. Itss driving me crazy as top why this is not working. Can
someone please help?
here is my form code, both form and PHP. Thanx

I haven't checked the form, but I had a similar problem with
my server when they upgraded their systems recently. I would
receive the email, but it was blank.
Th reason was ...
As long as your scripts do not need "register_globals" they
will work.
The default php mail command works. Again - no
"register_globals".
A lot of old and lazy written scripts rely on it. But it is a
major
security risk - even more so on shared servers - and as such
has been
disabled by default in PHP since version 3.0.3.

I have tried the standard PHP mail function and it doesnt seem to work. Here is my most recent warning or error message.
Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 554 5.7.1 <*****>: Sender address rejected: Access denied in D:\inetpub\vhosts\ltlfreightshop.com\httpdocs\requestaccount.php on line 78
I had the standard mailing set up but it wouldnt ever send and when i set up just the form, it requires the default email client. Am i wrong to assume that i need the SMTP authentication?
I am not sure about the sockets being enabled. We currently outsource our web hosting and email hosting. I cannot find the phpinfo(), where would this be?
Thanks,
Ben

ANN: Tutorial on using PHP mail() safely

Time and time again, I see requests for help with PHP mail() scripts that use a very common, but insecure technique: inserting an unfiltered email address into the From header.
There are two things wrong with this:
The From header is meant to indicate where the email originates. When using the mail() function, it's your website that originates the message, not whoever submits the form. To reply to the person submitting the form, you should use the Reply-to header.
You should NEVER put unfiltered user input into the header argument of the mail() function.
I have created a tutorial explaining how to remain safe by using the PHP filter_input() function to check the validity of an email field before creating a Reply-to header. It's on my website at http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/email.php.

Thanks, CF. I've been teaching how to avoid email header injection in my books for years, but I've noticed so many people still using insecure code that I decided it was time for an online tutorial.

?php mail.. position question

Fairly standard question that I have noticed lots of .asp
comments on forum.
I have a registration form that inserts a record and then
re-directs to a register success page.
I also want the registersuccess page (or alternatively form
page) to automatically send an e-mail to me, including certain
information entered into the form fields - namely the unique
identifier (email address). This I can set as a hyperlink to allow
me to connect directly to that record on-line.
I've sussed that this is the line I want to use in the
registersuccess page:
<?php mail ("[email protected]", "There is a new Site
Registration", $email);?>
Call me stupid but I cannot work out how to propogate
"$email" from a form field variable in the previous page if no
information is being passed from the previous page.
I have tried to include ?EMAIL=<?php echo
$POST_VARS['emailtextfield'];?> into the redirection address
when the form is submitted but I get an error.
I am now trying to find out where I can put my "mail" code in
the first form page but am having great difficulty as it is now
complicated by form checks and duplicate checks.
Can anyone help?

In the script which processes the form (<form
method="POST"
action="thisisthefileyouwant.php">), find where the insert
behavior
ends. Just after that, you put your code to send the email to
you.
The visitor's entered email will still be in
$_POST['emailFieldName'].
So:
<?php
// Code to insert data ends here
$to = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Record inserted';
$body = 'This record was inserted: EMail: ' .
$_POST['emailFieldName'];
mail($to, $subject, $body);
?>

PHP mail not sending correctly, instead Dovecot delivers to _www mailbox

I've already searched  discussions and the web to no avail.
Since moving my websites over to Mac OS X Server Snow Lepard 10.6.1 my PHP mail forms don't work correctly. They should send mail (from Wordpress 2.8.4 and Drupal 5.x) to a specified mail address. One of the recipient's domains is mail hosted on the same server, the other one isn't. Mail itself works perfectly.
Instead of PHP sending mail to the correct mail address the mail is delivered via dovecot to a local mailbox for the _www user which is of course undesired.
I can't find anything helpful in the logs of the mailservices and apache. (Even with debug)
I'm using the standard PHP 5.3 included with Mac OS X Server and use SMTP via localhost to send mail in php.ini.
Any hints on where to further investigate the problem? It's kind of annoying having to use a terminal as root to dig into the forms (not)mailed to me by directly looking at the dovecot store.
Best regards
Pepi

Have you tried and traced the mail messages through mail.log?

PHP mail issues with Muse Forms

I've been trying to findout why my forms are not being sent from my Muse forms. I have spoken with Adobe through the forums and they tell me it's an issue with my Hosting, I've soken with my Hosting, and they said it's an issue with Adobe Muse forms. The bottom line is, I'm in the middle, with forms still not sending.
The latest information I have had back from my Hosting company - UKFast:
EMAIL 1:
Regarding your issue: I'm able to see from the logs on the server that the mail service is up and running and listening for mail connections. Furthermore, I have placed a simple PHP mailer script in /root/testmail.php which sends a quick test message to my mailbox here at UKFast.
I can see that when sending a message through this script, the message passes through your server correctly and is successfully delivered to my mailbox. Here's an example from the logs:
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/root 3 args: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
2013-06-27 10:49:35 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ <= [email protected] U=root P=local S=437 T="Test mail" for [email protected]
2013-06-27 10:49:35 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ => <my email> R=lookuphost T=remote_smtp H=mx02.filter.magicmail.co.uk [81.201.128.59]
2013-06-27 10:49:55 1Us8pb-0001RE-LQ Completed
To better advise of the cause to your issue, would you be able to provide some accurate time and dates for messages that you have tried to send. With that information, I should be able to pinpoint the message sending attempts in the logs and hopefully unearth the underlying issue stopping the mail going through for you.
EMAIL 2:
I have just tested your script for you and it seems the form does not push to the mailqueue as it should.
We have managed to establish that Mail is working on the server and PHP can push to it, as per Joe's previous response, thus this is looking like an issue with the code of the page.
Can someone from Adobe please respond to this, UKFast are saying it's not them, and to be honest, I did run your PHP server test on my server and it scored 3 ticks, all working. So whats going on? I neeed the form function, can someone make it work, or tell me whats needed on my server to make it work.

I am facing same issue. Even my host provider could not help me. All my inputs are corrent.
Some php specialist told me, you have to write smtp details in php. I am using muse because I do not know any coding.
What is SQL configuration and how to fix this form issue. Expection some guidence from Muse experts...

PHP mail() function not working

Hello, I am having a problem sending mail with php while hosting my own website with apache on my mac. First of all I would like to note that I do not have a large background with web hosting and php. Everything that I did so far was just suggestions from online articles and other forums, so please include detail with any answers.
I have apache started, and my website hosted just fine. I can also view php pages so I know php is running too. My problem is using the php mail() function.
I have a simple form in my site who's action attribute is set to results.php. In the results.php file I have the mail() function (along with html code displaying "thank you...blah blah blah") sending info from the form to my email address. I never get an error on the php side, but my mail never gets sent.
Is there some type of setting in a config file that need to be turned on or changed?
Here is what I have done/modified so far from my research from online articles. i dont know what some of them mean, but followed the steps correctly:
Edited the /etc/hostconfig file and added the line MAILSERVER=-YES-
Edited the /etc/postfix/main.cf file and uncommented the #myhostname = ...line and made it "myhostname = localhost" (without quotes)
Edited the php.ini file to the following - The line under where it says
; For unix only. You may supply arguments as well (default: "sendmail -t -i")
Sendmail_path = usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
I opened the mail.log file and here are some entries from the other day:

Any other suggestions on how to get this to work? I have also created a simple php file that sends mail without retreiving info from a form and also tried using several different email addresses to send to and from, but still nothing

Edited the /etc/postfix/main.cf file and uncommented the #myhostname = ...line and made it "myhostname = localhost" (without quotes) Change that to mail.yourispname.com Then run sudo postfix reload and see if it sends mail. The reason being, is that you don't have a fully qualified domain name.
And make that reflective in your mail() function file/template.

Multiple Email Accounts Don't Seem Possible. Yet Mail Help Says It is!

Hi,
If you go to the Mail help menu and type in "multiple", the result shows that you can enter multiple email address into an account during setup, separated by commas. Great if you have several emails under the same domain ([email protected], [email protected], etc.)
The problem is this - the User Name is the full email address, so although I can enter my four email addresses under one domain, I cannot enter them as four separate user names, only one will work.
Am I missing something here? It's got me confused!
Thanks for any replies.
Hugh

Using an IMAP e-mail where you have several email addresses say ,...... @mac.com, ,[email protected] and [email protected] all pointing at the same server inbox yes you can use the comma separation method.
Emails sent to any of those addresses arrive on your computer altogether as YOU have just ONE user name !
If however you have differing POP and/or IMAP accounts each with differing user names POP inboxes and even SMTP sending systems you will have to set up each email account one by one.
Mail will allow you to have them combined into a single inbox on your computer.
You will also notice a triangle appears to the left of the inbox ,click on this and you will be presented with individual account inboxes within the main inbox

Keep being asked for password: Mail Help unhelpful

Last week I had to trash my keychains/passwords on the recommendation of Skype help. It solved my immediate problem but now I get asked for a password every time I launch Mail.
I've tried Mail help and got the following advice:
"To change the keychain lock settings:
Open Keychain Access, located in Applications/Utilities (or click the link provided on this page).
Select your login keychain, choose Edit > "Change Settings for Keychain 'login'."
To reduce the number of requests for your keychain password, deselect the option for the number of minutes of inactivity before the keychain is locked, or increase the number of minutes. You can also deselect "Lock when sleeping" option."
Trouble is, I see nothing that resembles a "login keychain".
Is the above the advice I need. If yes, what/where is my login keychain; if no, what now?

Thanks for the feedback. This means the login keychain itself was "there", just inaccessible for some reason. The actual keychains are stored in one of the following locations, depending on their applicability:
/System/Library/Keychains/
/Library/Keychains/
~/Library/Keychains/
login, in particular, being different for each user, is stored in ~/Library/Keychains/.
On my system, the System keychain is stored in /Library/Keychains/. Do you see a System keychain in more than one of the aforementioned locations? Maybe that's the reason you see more than one instance of it in Keychain Access.
I'm wondering now if the problem was just that there was something wrong with the ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.keychainaccess.plist preferences file. Guess we'll never know what happened here.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

Why doesn't JavaMail work, but PHP mailer does?

I am trying to use JavaMail to send emails from my webserver. I've plugged in the host and the addresses are valid, but I am getting 550 errors. I've searched and found that I should change a setting on my mail server to allow relays from my webserver. However, we have a PHP mailer working on our webserver now, so presumably that relay is already in there. Why does the PHP work but the JavaMail doesn't?

Can you turn on session debugging and post the protocol trace that shows the failure?
The error codes alone are not enough, you usually need to look at the message included
with the error code.
Also, have you found the JavaMail FAQ?

How to get PHP mail() function to WORK?

The topic title speaks for itself. I only want the exact following code to actually send an e-mail, just as it does on any external server:
<?php
mail(<i>an e-mail address</i>, <i>a subject</i>, <i>some text</i>);
?>
Is it possible?
I have the sendmail_path set to /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i in php.ini, and MAILSERVER=-YES- in hostconfig.
I would like to avoid using sendmail's -f option if possible (this does not work for all e-mail addresses anyway).

Hi Neithan,
   If, as your profile indicates, you are using Tiger, you are using postfix when you use the "sendmail" command. Sendmail is no longer installed but postfix comes with an "emulator" to keep legacy stuff from breaking. It's still a good command line method for sending mail.
   I'm not sure if setting MAILSERVER=-YES- causes postfix to listen on the smtp port or just for local connections. However, I thought that local connections were sufficient to send mail. Try it and if it doesn't work use Postfix Enabler. Just remember that changing the hostconfig file doesn't take effect until the next reboot. (or run of SystemStarter)
   Also remember that most ISPs don't accept mail from unrecognized machines anymore.
