zacthespack Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I am using a simple email script called PHPmailer which works great but i would like to create a form so a user can input what the text for the email should be along with the subject from texts boxes, i also need the script to connect to a mysql database to get a list of email address to send to. Then once the user presses the send button the email is sent out to everyone in the database. Can anyone help me? <?php include_once('class.phpmailer.php'); $mail = new PHPMailer(); $body = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body); $mail->IsSendmail(); // telling the class to use SendMail transport $mail->From = "zac@zpwebsites.com"; $mail->FromName = "First Last"; $mail->Subject = "PHPMailer Test Subject via smtp"; $mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test $mail->MsgHTML($body); $mail->AddAddress("zacthespack@gmail.com", "John Doe"); $mail->AddAttachment("uploads/AleMail.pdf"); // attachment if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo; } else { echo "Message sent!"; } ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
