Attach Mailer script - default subject and to-address

What I want is the option to remove the input codes of the "to-address" and the subject line. I know how to do that, but where do I fill in the e-mail address and the subjectline?

I'm a total newbee when it comes to PHP. So I would appreciate the code and a small description of where to fill in what.

I use the versions 2006-01-23 of Attach Mailer and the Easy Upload. Both works perfectly as is.

Hi,
what do you mean with "remove the input codes"?
Is this about e-mail header injections?

Hello

What I mean is I want to remove the option of filling in the mail address and subject. I want to show the following options: add an image and fill in the clients name, telephone, e-mail and two checkboxes.

The "To" and "Subject" I want as a pre-typed thing that is hidden away from the client.

Hi,

Use pre-defined variables, it's not required to use some user input.

Hello

As I'm not familiar with PHP formscripting. I've tried to fill in the necessary to-address and subject like the following:

var $mail_to = "email@email.com";
var $mail_subject = "Competition";

But I receive an error that the mail hasn't been delivered.

The upload aspect to the server is still intact and works great.

Hi,

Maybe the "mail()" function is disabled on your server?

When I try the script in its original and fill in the "to" and the "subject" the script works fine. So I belive it's somewhere in my coding that has the fault.

Do you tried the example file? Using classes you need to create an object first

I still don't know how to make the code. What do I need to copy and place? What needs to be removed?

This is not how it works, you don't provide enough information. Re-check the manual from file from both classes and read also about the basic functionality of php classes in the php manual.

I get the idea that your php knowlegde is too limited ;) so it's time to learn...

Hello

I've gotten it to work with a pre-inputted e-mail adress and subject. Now I need to find a way to get some more info in the message area of the mail. Could you point me in the right direction?

I have created new inputs: [from_tfn], [from_age] and a checkbox [mail_newsletter]. How do I add them to the [$mail_message = $this->mail_body;]?

I've also had a problem with Scandinavian letters � � � � � �. How can I get them to work?

this not really PHP code ;) Please post the related code snippet (not the class) and maybe you can insert a link to the page in question?

This depends more on your server configuration, use utf-8 to as encoding style

http://www.arsonaut.net/testform/upload_and_mail_example.php
There's the form in it's primitive state. I will try the utf-8 encoding tomorrow. But I still don't know how to add the tfn, age and newsletter to the e-mail message.

Have you had the time to check the link? I would like to get the solution soon. I would have use of this function this week.

I received your test, Olaf. But as I said, it only contains the from address, the name, the message and the attached image. The tfn and the newsletter options do not appear. Could you advise me on how to add those strings to the mail message?

Hi,

I'm sorry for the delay (busy times these days)
You need to add the form vars ot the message body like:

$body = 'hello '.$_POST['name'].',

some text
another post var: '.$_POST['somedate'];

I don't understand the line you just wrote. I'm in the file "attach_mailer_class.php" and on line 184

 $mail_message = $this->mail_body; 

just like this:

$mail_message = $this->mail_body;
 $mail_message .= $_POST['name'].' some text here';
 $mail_message .= ' more text here';

Notice the dot in front of the equal sign

When I added the line:

$mail_message = $this->mail_body;
$mail_message .= $_POST['from_tfn'];

I received the mail with both in the message, but there was a whole lot of information in the mail. Starting with:

It didn't have the image attached and the code went on and on.

please post here the code from the link you've posted above

This is the entire code:

function process_mail() {
		if (!$this->valid_mail_adresses) return;
		$mail_message = $this->mail_body;
		$mail_message .= $_POST['from_tfn'];
		if (count($this->att_files) > 0) {
			foreach ($this->att_files as $val) {
				$mail_message .= $val;
			}
			$mail_message .= "--".$this->uid."--";
		}
		if (mail($this->mail_to, $this->mail_subject, $mail_message, $this->mail_headers)) {
			$this->msg[] = "Your mail is succesfully submitted.";
		} else {
			$this->msg[] = "Error while sending you mail.";
		}

Do you changed the class code?
This is not how it works, you need to create objects from the class (check how it is done in the example file)

Is it this? This is taken from attach_mailer_class.php.

class attach_mailer {

	var $from_name;
	var $from_tfn;
	var $from_mail;
	var $from_age;
	var $mail_to;
	var $mail_cc;
	var $mail_bcc;

	var $mail_headers;
	var $mail_subject;
	var $mail_body = "";
	var $mail_newsletter = "";

Or this?

if ($this->valid_mail_adresses) {
			$this->from_name = $this->strip_line_breaks($name);
			$this->from_mail = $this->strip_line_breaks($from);
		    $this->mail_to = $this->strip_line_breaks($to);
			$this->mail_cc = $this->strip_line_breaks($cc);
			$this->mail_bcc = $this->strip_line_breaks($bcc);
			$this->mail_subject = $this->strip_line_breaks($subject);
			$this->create_mime_boundry();
			$this->from_tfn = $this->create_msg_body($tfn);
			$this->from_age = $this->create_msg_body($age);
			$this->mail_body = $this->create_msg_body($body);
			$this->mail_newsletter = $this->create_msg_body($newsletter);
			$this->mail_headers = $this->create_mail_headers();
		} else {
			return;

Or this? This is taken from the upload_and_mail_example.php file:

if(isset($_POST['Submit'])) {
	$my_mail = new attach_mailer($name = $_POST['from_name'], $tfn = $_POST['from_tfn'], $from = $_POST['from_email'], $age = $_POST['from_age'], "myemail@myemail.com", $cc = "", $bcc = "", "Comptetition", $body = $_POST['mail_body'], $newsletter = $_POST['mail_newsletter']);

yes this is much better, now you need to modify the value for the "body" variable (like in the example above)

So this:

$this->mail_body = $this->create_msg_body($body);

Will become this:

$this->mail_body = $this->create_msg_body($body, $tfn, $age);

No ;) try

$body = $body.' '.$tfn.' '.$age;
$this->mail_body = $this->create_msg_body($body);

In the "upload_and_mail_example.php" file, line 18

So this line:

, $body = $_POST['mail_body'],

Will become:

, $body = $body.' '.$tfn.' '.$age,

-- -- -- -- --

Or is it here "attach_mailer_class.php":

if ($this->valid_mail_adresses) {
			$this->from_name = $this->strip_line_breaks($name);
			$this->from_mail = $this->strip_line_breaks($from);
		        $this->mail_to = $this->strip_line_breaks($to);
			$this->mail_cc = $this->strip_line_breaks($cc);
			$this->mail_bcc = $this->strip_line_breaks($bcc);
			$this->mail_subject = $this->strip_line_breaks($subject);
			$this->create_mime_boundry();
			$body = $body.' '.$tfn.' '.$age;
			$this->mail_body = $this->create_msg_body($body);
			$this->mail_newsletter = $this->create_msg_body($newsletter);
			$this->mail_headers = $this->create_mail_headers();
		} else {
			return;

Don't touch the class scripts :)

I got the idea that you didn't know what variable is. Without this knowledge your are FAR away from writing code or even scripts. I suggest to follow several php beginner tutorials or if don't like to learn PHP, there are many php developers you can hire.

Sorry, but I lost my patience here...

Hi Olaf

I really appreciate your help and I belive the script you have written is what I need in a project. I would really like for you to help me get the message of the mail to include the tfn, age and newsletter. The script works great otherwise.

We've come far from what we started out with. So I ask of you to please help me with this last hurdle.

okay in this case start with basic search google for "php beginner tutorials", the php manual is also a great source to learn the basics.

Hi Olaf,

I got the script to work through trial and error. I want to thank you for all your help and assistance thus far.
