send email script

[mark103]

Hi guys,

 

I am writing the php script to send the email. I have noticed when I picked up on my email, I can see that it have been covered with mailed-by: myservername.com. I want to hide it, but I can't find a way to get it resolve.

 

 

Here's the code:

 

<?php
session_start();
    define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
    define('DB_USER', 'myusername');
    define('DB_PASSWORD', 'mypass');
    define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydbname');
       
    $errmsg_arr = array();
    $errflag = false;

    $link = mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
    if(!$link) {
  die('Failed to connect to server: ' . mysql_error());
    }

    $db = mysql_select_db(DB_DATABASE);
    if(!$db) {

die("Unable to select database");
    }

   function clean($var){

return mysql_real_escape_string(strip_tags($var));
    }
    $name = clean($_GET['name']);
    $email = clean($_GET['email']);
    $type = clean($_GET['type']);
    $comments = clean($_GET['comments']);

if($name == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'name are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
} elseif($email == ''){
   $errmsg_arr[] = 'email are missing.';
   $errflag = true;
}

    if($errflag) {
  $_SESSION['ERRMSG_ARR'] = $errmsg_arr;
  echo implode('<br />',$errmsg_arr);
   }
   else {
$insert = array();
if(isset($_GET['name'])) {
    $insert[] = 'name = \'' . clean($_GET['name']) .'\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['email'])) {
    $insert[] = 'email = \'' . clean($_GET['email']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['type'])) {
    $insert[] = 'type = \'' . clean($_GET['type']) . '\'';
}
if(isset($_GET['comments'])) {
    $insert[] = 'comments = \'' . clean($_GET['comments']) . '\'';
}

if (count($insert)>0) {
   $names = implode(',',$insert);

if(isset($email)){
   $name = $_GET['name'];
   $email = $_GET['email'];
   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $to = "myname@myemail.com";
   $subject = $type;
   $message = "$comments & $rate";
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
   mail($to, $subject, $message, $header, $add);
echo "Thank you for sent us your email";
  }
}
}
?>

 

 

 

I guess that something got to do with this:

 

if(isset($email)){
   $header = "From: $name <$email>". "\r\n";  
   $header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\l\n";
   $add = "<$email>";
  }

 

 

I have disabled the safe-mode, so do you know how I can hide the mailed-by header using with the code on above??

 

Any advice would be much appreciate.

 

Thanks in advance.

If it's a header why don't you just set it in the additional_headers parameter of the mail function?

yeah i did, so thanks for your help. However, how I can send the email for the clients to receive the email within 48 hours?

[mark103]

do anyone know how to do this?

[BlueSkyIS]

do you want the email to NOT be sent UNTIL AFTER 48 hours? You'd use a cron job.

 

if you mean "make sure the email is sent within 48 hours", it will probably be sent within seconds or minutes.

once the email leaves your application, it's subject to the whims of the ether. typically, most email is delivered within seconds, but it can take longer depending upon content, routing, polling interval of the destination client, etc. if your emails aren't delivered within 48 hours, it's likely an issue with the receiving SMTP server and/or the account on that server.
