Hi,
I have VAMP installed and also on a live server, both with Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2 and MySQL 5.2.
I read yesterday something on how to use the mail function in php
I did indeed change it a little, but only in the looks. Though I also changed the function sendbulkmail, but only so that I can send HTML-mail. When I use the original, it still giving the same error.
Now I know, I don't have an e-mailserver installed on my VAMP (don't know how), but of course my webserver does have an e-mailserver, which works fine.
I've pasted my adapted code below.
- Code:
<?php
/**
* sendbulkmail.php
*

require_once("../_includes/session.php");
function GetEmailList(){
global $database;
$q = "SELECT email FROM ".TBL_USERS;
$result = $database->query($q);
$num_rows = mysql_numrows($result);
if(!$result || ($num_rows < 0)){
die ("Error gathering e-mail list.");
return;
}
if($num_rows == 0){
die ("Database table empty.");
return;
}
/* Display table contents */
for($i=0; $i<$num_rows; $i++){
$email = mysql_result($result,$i,"email");
echo "{$email}; ";
}
}
function sendbulkmail($email, $subject, $body){
$from = "From: ".EMAIL_FROM_NAME." <".EMAIL_FROM_ADDR.">";
$email = trim($email);
mail($email, $subject, "<html><body>".$body."</body></html>",
"".$from."\n" .
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1");
return $email;
}
/**
* User not an administrator, redirect to main page
* automatically. */
if(!$session->isAdmin()){
header("Location: ../index.php");
}
else
{
/**

You can write your e-mail using the form below and send it to all the users of The Aristotélēs Project. Feel free to delete any of the selected e-mail addresses of any users.<br/><br/>

</script>
</body>
</html>
So, maybe you can see what it is about these messages, when I have NOT sent any mail yet:
- Array ( [0] => )
- Successfully send mail to these users.
- No recipient addresses found in header []
I think the last message has to do with the sendbulkmail function, the PHP-machine doesn't "see" the recipient addresses in the header of the e-mail, but ofcourse that's the maillist ($email). How do you figure that?
Also, I was wondering what
<?= means in a php statement like
<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>.
Hoping you or Fred-Eric can help?
Ciao,
Sander
