How can we Implement Multiple Surveys/Feedbacks on Our Result page? 3 Weeks Ago by carnoico … looking to implement something unique, we want to add multiple forms/surveys on the same page, we want each feedback form… Re: How can we Implement Multiple Surveys/Feedbacks on Our Result page? 2 Weeks Ago by Dani If I understand you correctly, what you're asking for is custom development work. If you don't already have an in-house developer working on your website who is capable of doing this, you most likely will need to go the custom consulting route. You can use freelance services such as [Upwork](https://www.upwork.com/) or [Toptal](https://www.toptal.… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by Biiim … `x@gmail.com` as this is spoofing.

Without getting the submitter's email address, the forms would be kind of useless as I wouldn't be… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Dani The first thing I will say is never output `$_POST[]` content directly into the HTML without escaping it first. You are leaving yourself wide open to an HTML injection attack. Not only that, but you're also leaving yourself open to invalid HTML. All it takes is to wrap your user-sent variables with htmlspecialchars to make sure they're HTML-escaped… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Biiim In your code where you write `mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);` if you want to get error messages or "do something if it fails" you need to alter it a bit to something like: if(mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers)){ //if successful do something }else{ //if error do something else } //or… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by david.tigner I do not have access to the PHP error log nor do I know how to check to see if mail() is returning false. The coding I'm using has worked (e.g. sent email with submitted info) for 13 years and now stopped working. My URL/PHP provider, Ionos, claims it won't send because all recipient email addresses need to be authenticated and a new STMP PHPmailer… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by david.tigner Re: Biiim's post, the coding you suggest to get error messages looks like something good to try and the PHP Mailer stuff looks the same as the generic code I got from Ionos. It sounds like all these methods are appearing favorable for solving the problem. This kind of troubleshooting can be very frustrating so thanks for your help. Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Dani I wonder if the problem is that your php mail() function is configured to use SMTP in your php.ini file. A lot of SMTP servers switched over the past year or so to using XOAuth2 for authentication. A username + password in your config settings will no longer suffice to establish a connection. You can see me complaining about it [here](https://www.… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by david.tigner Ran into some new issues. Here goes. In order to download PHPMailer, must download Composer. In order to install Composer, need a Command Line PHP.exe file. I do not have one of these. I have been using PHP services from URL provider, 1 & 1/Ionos since 2011. They said in order to get a Command Line PHP.exe file, requires SSH to 'Connect to … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Biiim You don't need composer or access to the php.exe. just locate the PHPmailer Directory into your web root, to keep it simple and the require links should point to where it is located. mine is `require 'includes/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php';` cause I put it in a folder called includes, this should be relative to the file that is using it.… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by david.tigner More problems. I incorporated the coding Biiim provided. Before any changes, after submission, would display the correct (yellow) screen. After code changed, not only will still not send email but screen turns blank white. URL provider, IONOS, told me that the Host is smtp.ionos.com and the Username and password are for an email address associated … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Dani > After code changed, not only will still not send email but screen turns blank white. That's a PHP fatal error. It could be a syntax error, or it could also be that PHPMailer is not in the location you're telling PHP to look. Do you have any way of accessing the error log? Without access to the server, perhaps through a web-based control … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 2 Months Ago by Dani To clarify, I am suggesting: [...] //make your email body to send here $survey = "RadiantNewHorizonHomes.com General Inquiries" . "\r\n" . "\r\n" . "Name: " . $_POST['Name'] . "\r\n" . "E-mail Address: " . $_POST['Email'] . "\r\n&… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner This one is becoming more perplexing. After adding in the PHPMailer coding, page would crash (e.g. blank white screen, HTML file that would display the screen doesn't even start at all, e.g. error in the 1st running PHP file). Adding the semi-colon at end of line 18 (in previously discussed code) did not work and funny thing is, the original coding… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by Chris_103 It seems like you're experiencing issues with PHP-based email functionality, where submissions are not triggering emails to be sent. Let's dive into the code snippet you provided and see if we can identify any potential issues or improvements. Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by Biiim I checked my code and I only found 2 differences, the first is the 2 `use` commands before the require: use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer; use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception; require 'includes/PHPMailer/src/Exception.php'; require 'includes/PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php'; require 'includes/PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php';… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner I just discovered some new information on why the online submission pages weren't sending as during some testing I discovered there was a way for the submitted info to be sent. Here it is. I have online submission pages on 4 websites: RadiantNewHorizonHomes.com, RTO-USA.net, SubterraneanSoundStudio.com and RebHellionRecords.com. Each of these 4 … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner My 4 domains are all through URL provider IONOS. The question is why does the sender's email address as entered on the front end of the on-line submission form have to have the same ending as the domain name of the site or one of the other 3 or else submitted info fails to send ? Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner There is no making emails "appear" to be from other than the true sender. I'll explain further. Suppose John Smith has an email address of johnsmith@gmail.com. John then goes on to one of my sites, lets say RTO-USA.net, and fills out an online submission form and enters his email address truthfully (johnsmith@gmail.com). This email … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner I'll do whatever works to get the submission pages to send again with any submitter's email address. The End Justifies The Means. If it works then I can refine it as needed. Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by Dani > If this does in fact solve the problem, it would make replying back to the submitter a little bit more complicated In your mail headers, you can specify both a From: email address, that is an email address from your domain name, as well as a separate Reply-To: email address, that can be any email. This way, when someone clicks on the Reply … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner The way I see it is that the email address in question is one inputted by the submitter. What if this question is not asked ? So I'm seeing if in the back end PHP file, the email address in question is not anything entered by submitter but simply one with the correct @site.com ending. That way should slip "under the radar" and submitted … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner I am not pretending to send emails from x@gmail.com or any other email address. Here's what is happening: If a submitter (the one that fills out the form and presses the Submit button) doesn't enter an email address ending in a domain that I own, the submitted info will not send. If they do, it will. The email address they enter in this case does … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner They said they can't help me and to contact a web developer because it deals with coding. Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info 1 Month Ago by david.tigner Today is a good day. The problem has been solved. Problem was anti-spoofing stuff being added to my email server sometime in February. The clue that was found during testing was I had by chance entered an email address ending in @(one of domains that I own), (not even a real email address) and form emailed successfully. And by changing only 1 line …
