PHP Pre-Made Email Sender To Chosen E-Mail

dquigley · Jan 22, 2009

Hello everyone and good day,

I have an idea for a php script that I would like help with or any information on ones that may be similar.

I would like to have a php script that allows members of a site to login to there account and then enter an email address, or more then 1, into some kind of form, then once they submit it will send those email adresses a premade form that is on the server, for example say someone likes a site and wants to invite there friend, I would like to make it easy for them to do so with a premade message script, just pop in the email and submit.

If anyone can do this for me, or would like to help, I'd greatly appreciate it, right now I only have a little over 100 credits but I would gladly pay you more if we can come to an agreement.

Thanks guys, and have a good day.

just a simple form with input boxes, if they click submit they script will send an email to the email adresses with a link to a form?

dquigley · Jan 22, 2009

Let me try to explain a bit better.

You enter blah@blah.com

Hit submit

An email is sent to blah@blah.com

The email reads, (whatever I edit the message to say) Hello Blah, John has invited you to join such and such click here to sign up.

Hope that helps you understand.

It would also be nice if they could send up to like 5, 10, or so emails at a time, to make it easier on themselves.

using my name as an example huh....I get what you are trying to get done, I just can't be of help scripting anything, there should be something out there that is already developed but I am not sure.

dquigley · Jan 22, 2009

Yeah, if someone can't help me I will do it myself, and actually I use John as what I call a "common name" no offense, when I have to refer to a random, anonymous, or unknown person I usually use names like John, Smith, Joe, Bob. I'm not sure why : P

well, i'm not gonna make the whole thing, but i'm gonna give you parts that can help out

when they enter the email addresses, they normally seperate them by either a comma `,`, a semicolon `;` or a plain space ` `.

say you have more than 1 email in that list, with php, you would do $emails = explode (',', $form_emails);

then do a foreach: foreach ($emails = $v) {}, and then do the mail() with the content you want, $v being a single email.

i don't use the mail command that much, but you may be able to send an email to multiple email accounts without disclosing the other emails it's being sent to.

Yes, it would have to be done in a way that does not show other email addresses thank you. If I cannot find someone to do this for me I will attempt to do it myself, thanks.

xPlozion · Jan 22, 2009

i would suggest you take this time to attempt it yourself, and if there's a problem, come and ask for help. that way you learn how to do it and you learn from any mistakes you made

So I got one and I edited it, the form shows however it isnt sending the email. Let me post the coding here and someone can tell me why it isnt sending the email.
Edit:

The form

ok, i don't like that example, so i'm gonna provide you with what i would have done:

PHP:

    <input name="to_email" type="text" /> Recipients Email (separated by a comma)<br /><br />
    <input name="send_email" type="submit" value="Send" />
  </fieldset>
</form>

<?php
}
else
{

  if (!empty($_POST['sender_name']) && !empty($_POST['sender_email']) && !empty($_POST['to_email']))
  {

    $subject = 'the subject';
    $message = 'hello';
    $headers = 'From: '.$_POST['sender_name'].' <'.$_POST['sender_email'].'>' . "\r\n" .
      'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .

    $to_email_array = explode (',', $_POST['to_email']);
    foreach ($to_email_array AS $email)
    {
      mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
    }

    echo 'All email\'s sent';

Hmm I like your version too, it's very hard for me to decide which one I like better, the one that I made has a nice layout, but yours allows emails seperated by commas...

Well thanks for the help, Im gonna give you some credits and rep for helping.

*edit*

Now I just need to figure out why the original one isn't sending the emails.

xPlozion · Jan 23, 2009

lol, you don't have to keep the layout, as mine was a very generic basic form. you can code it up, but make sure the inputs are there with the proper name

dquigley · Jan 23, 2009

Well I like yours coding wise, however I like this look better

I know you are very busy so if you cant edit it I will see if someone else can do it. Thanks for all the help.

dquigley · Jan 23, 2009

Hmm, I do like that one, but I kinda want to take up the whole page.

Is there any way to separate the email recipients into 10 boxes?

I do like the comma feature, since that allows easier sending, however I think the look is more important in THIS situation, not only that but limiting each send to only 10 ppl helps deter spam since they cant send 100 emails at a time.

PHP:

{

  $subject = 'the subject';
  $message = 'hello';

    mail($_POST['to_email'][$i], $subject, $message, $headers);
  }

  echo 'All email\'s sent';
}
else
{
  echo 'You left a field empty';
}

the way that works is that on the input, the brackets [] are transformed into an array by php automatically, so instead of exploding the email string to an array, we've compiled one automatically

Well crud, The script is working that you posted, however I am using an index frame kinda thing and when I use that it does not seem to work.

Basically the point of this page was to keep only logged in users using the form, however it seems it is stopping the script from sending the mail, any clue why? I Actually copied this script as it was being used by another thing on my site, I simply changed the bottom part where it asks where to redirect or w/e im sure most of the script isnt rlly needed.

?>

I was thinking. The site is dolarstoriches.com, once logged in you are in the dollarstoriches.com/members/ section, although it shows that you are in that section only the php files that redirect to dollarstoriches.com/theme/en/ are located. Those php files basically show a big frame around the files in the theme/en/ folder which is where the tellafriend form and php file are, however in the /member/ folder I have a php file that I posted above that is supposed to redirect to the members_reccomend.html form file in /theme/en/ Maybe because of that redirection it isnt working and I need to fix something?

Sorry if all that sounds confusing I did my best to explain.
Edit:
I fixed it by going into the html form and redirecting

PHP:

<form name="tellafriend" action="tellafriend.php" method="post">

Into

PHP:

<form name="tellafriend" action="../theme/en/tellafriend.php" method="post">

I wasn't totally sure WHY it worked that way, but I kinda had a hunch that that was what I had to do to fix the problem, it almost seems like the form was stuck in the /members/ directory instead of where I put it. Guess that php file doesnt rlly point as much as it pulls : P
Edit:
Ok so now everything is working except the php I tried to implement is now showing up.

Here is what the email showed

Hello,

A friend or colleague of yours, $_POST[sender_name] , whose email address is $_POST[sender_email] thought you may like to visit our site.

$_POST[name] has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref={userid}

and here is the php

PHP:

<?php

if (!empty($_POST['sender_name']) && !empty($_POST['sender_email']) && !empty($_POST['to_email']) && isset($_POST['send_mail']))
{

  $subject = 'You Have Recieved An Invitation';
  $message = 'Hello,

A friend or colleague of yours, $_POST[sender_name] , whose email address is $_POST[sender_email] thought you may like to visit our site. 

$_POST[name] has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref={userid} ';

  $headers = 'From: '.$_POST['sender_name'].' <'.$_POST['sender_email'].'>' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
    'Message-Id: <'.md5(uniqid(microtime())).'@'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'>';

  for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
  {
    mail($_POST['to_email'][$i], $subject, $message, $headers);
  }

  echo 'All email\'s sent';
}
else
{
  echo 'You left a field empty';
}  
?>

PHP doesn't look for variables inside ' and '. Fix:

PHP:

<?php

if (!empty($_POST['sender_name']) && !empty($_POST['sender_email']) && !empty($_POST['to_email']) && isset($_POST['send_mail']))
{

  $subject = 'You Have Recieved An Invitation';
  $message = 'Hello,

A friend or colleague of yours, '.$_POST[sender_name].' , whose email address is '.$_POST[sender_email].' thought you may like to visit our site. 

'.$_POST[name].' has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref={userid} ';

  $headers = 'From: '.$_POST['sender_name'].' <'.$_POST['sender_email'].'>' . "\r\n" .
    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n" .
    'Message-Id: <'.md5(uniqid(microtime())).'@'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].'>';

  for ($i=0;$i<10;$i++)
  {
    mail($_POST['to_email'][$i], $subject, $message, $headers);
  }

  echo 'All email\'s sent';
}
else
{
  echo 'You left a field empty';
}  
?>

Your the man, thank you. I'll go fix it right now, thanks a bunch!
Edit:
I had one more question, in the php side of this I tried to call some function, or variable, w/e its called it was

{userid}

And I called it here

$message = 'Hello,

A friend or colleague of yours, '.$_POST[sender_name].' , whose email address is '.$_POST[sender_email].' thought you may like to visit our site.

'.$_POST[name].' has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref={userid} ';

It is not working correctly. I have another php file that my site came with and it calls that and it works correctly, Ill post that file and maybe thatll help.

Ok so this file right here is index.php(makes sure only members who are logged in can view page), which then calls member_home.html(content)

Index.php

PHP:

<?php
    require_once("../config_inc.php");
    require_once("../includes/globals_inc.php");
    require_once("../includes/member_login_inc.php");
    require_once("../includes/member_level_inc.php");
    display_member_page("member_home.html");
?>

Member_home.html

PHP:

<p align="center"><font color="#00CC99"><b>H O M E</b></font></p>
<p align="center"><b>Welcome To The Members Area {name}</b></p>
<p align="center">&nbsp;</p>

Also the required files from the php, are needed im guessing, let me find which ones look relevant and I will post it.
Edit:
This is the only file that seemed relevant, if im wrong correct me.

member_level_inc.php

PHP:

<?php
    defined( '_VALID_MOS_' ) or die( 'Restricted Access' );
    if ($_SESSION['userlevel'] == '1' && $_SESSION['expired_time'] < $timenow) {
        mysql_query("UPDATE members SET expired='1',userlevel='0' WHERE userid='{$_SESSION['userid']}'");
        $_SESSION['userlevel'] = "0";
        $_SESSION['expired'] = "1";
    }
    if ($_SESSION['expired'] != 0) {
        $exptime = $timenow + $_SESSION['conf_expdays'] * 3600 * 24;
        $show_array = array(
        'startdate' => strftime($_SESSION['conf_date_format'], $timenow),
            'enddate' => strftime($_SESSION['conf_date_format'], $exptime)
        );
        display_member_page("member_expired.html", $show_array);
    }
    if ($_SESSION['userlevel'] != '1') {
        display_member_page("member_upgrade.html", $show_array);
    }
?>

it appears that by the looks of it, that it's either a defined variable, or that page passes through a template system and they get replaced with the proper value.

in the email form try $_SESSION['userid'] instead of {userid}, and maybe protect it and only allow registered users to send the email (if your script doesn't do so from a higher level)

PHP:

if (!empty($_SESSION['userid']))
{
  // is logged in so show the content
}
else
{
  // is not logged in, show show a message saying that you need to be logged in
}

also, replace

PHP:

$_POST[name].' has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref={userid} ';

with

PHP:

$_POST[name].' has used our Tell-a-Friend form to send you this email.

http://www.dollarstoriches.com/?ref='.$_SESSION['userid'];

since variables wont be parsed in apostrophes.
