Anybody have some info on $message in the mail script?
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
I have tried mass mail programs out there already and they work great except I have 3 classes of users that I need to email individually or multiple at times and pulling email addresses off of an access database. Everything works except when I go to send an email in HTML.
I can pass HTML if I use
$message = '<html> <body bgcolor="#DCEEFC"><center><b>Looool!!! I am reciving HTML email......</b> <br> <font color="red">Thanks Mohammed!</font> <br> <a href="http://www.maaking.com/">* maaking.com</a> </center> <br><br>*** Now you Can send HTML Email <br> Regards<br>MOhammed Ahmed - Palestine<br><p>this is my email</p><p><strong>Bold<br /></strong></p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Change color</span></p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">Image</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><br /></span></p><p> </p><p> </p></body></html>';
But when I try and $message from a form I get bold, but no color or links for files.
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
<textarea name='message' type='text' rows='20' cols='60'></textarea>
full code below
$to = $_POST['toemail'];
$from = 'me@yahoo.com' ;
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
//Message is taken from form here. Does not work
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
//options to send to cc
$ccemail = $_POST['ccemail'] ;
if ($ccemail<>'')
{ $headers .= "Cc: $ccemail\r\n"; }
//options to send bcc
$bccemail = $_POST['bccemail'] ;
$headers .= "Bcc: $bccemail\r\n";
if (!isset($_POST['submit'])) { // if page is not submitted to itself echo the form
// FORM to input data for email
//Predefines fields for the form
$toemail = 'mdemaree99@yahoo.com';
$ccemail = '';
// $bccemail = $bccquery;
echo (" <table> ");
echo (" <form method='post' action=$PHP_SELF> ");
echo (" <tr><td valign='top'> TO: </td> ");
echo (" <td> <textarea name='toemail' type='text' rows='1' cols='60' />$toemail</textarea></td></tr> ");
echo (" <tr><td valign='top'> CC: </td> ");
echo ("<td> <textarea name='ccemail' type='text' rows='1' cols='60' />$ccemail</textarea></td></tr> ");
echo (" <tr><td valign='top'> BCC: </td> ");
echo ("<td> <textarea name='bccemail' type='text' rows='4' cols='60' />$bccemail</textarea></td></tr> ");
echo (" <tr><td valign='top'> SUBJECT: </td> ");
echo ("<td> <textarea name='subject' type='text' rows='1' cols='60' /></textarea></td></tr> ");
echo (" <tr><td valign='top'> BODY: </td> ");
echo ("<td> <textarea name='message' type='text' rows='20' cols='60'></textarea>");
echo (" <tr><td colspan='2' style='text-align: center;'> <input type='submit' value='Send Email' name='submit'></td></tr> ");
echo (" </table> ");
//Send email once email is complete and Send Email clicked
} else {
//change this to your email.
$to = "mdemaree99@yahoo.com";
$from = "mdemaree99@yahoo.com";
$subject = "Hello! This is HTML email";
//IF previous $message is removed and comments taken out this will dislay email in HTML
//$message = '<html> <body bgcolor="#DCEEFC"><center><b>Looool!!! I am reciving HTML email......</b> <br> <font color="red">Thanks Mohammed!</font> <br> <a href="http://www.maaking.com/">* maaking.com</a> </center> <br><br>*** Now you Can send HTML Email <br> Regards<br>MOhammed Ahmed - Palestine<br><p>this is my email</p><p><strong>Bold<br /></strong></p><p><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Change color</span></p><p><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 255, 0);">Image</span></strong><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"><br /></span></p><p> </p><p> </p></body></html>';
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
//end of message
$headers = "From: $from\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
// now lets send the email.
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
echo "Message has been sent....!";
}
Solution Found..
It seems that when put to post there is a backslash added to each "
Next step.. get fckeditor working for the text box.
$message = $_POST['message'] ;
$message = stripslashes($message);
