Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development by Biiim Hey David, You should not pretend to send an email from `x@gmail.com` as this is spoofing. I forward all forms from a website from a generic email such as `forms@` or `enquiry@` (`@yourlocaldomain.com`) Emails have basic checks done on them, which is why your spoofing fails, you are trying to say `X@gmail.com` sent an email but gmail didn'… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development by david.tigner That's a problem. The email addresses issued for @RadiantNewHorizonHomes.com or 1 of the other 4 are created by me. Unknown parties that submit online forms on one of my domains would not have one of these email addresses. I would want to receive the submitted info from senders of any email address like has been since 2011 until Feb 2024. This is … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development by david.tigner If John isn't the sender then who is ? Also, continuing from the John Smith example, if John Smith enters his email address as johnsmith@SubterraneanSoundStudio.com or johnsmith@RTO-USA.net (ficticious email addresses) then the submitted info would be emailed to me but if he uses his true email address then it would not. Continuing from this … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development by david.tigner Then it seems to me that if I change $from = $_POST['ShowingEmail']; to $from = "Unknown@RTO-USA.com"; (or @SubterraneanSoundStudio.com, etc.) then the submitted info should send. This Unknown@RTO-USA.com email address is fake but apparently that doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is that the @domain.com part of the email … Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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: What are the key components of an effective email marketing campaign?

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… Re: Online subission forms not sending emails of submitted info Programming Web Development 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 Programming Web Development 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.

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 Programming Web Development by Dani To clarify, I am suggesting: [...] //make your email body to send here $survey = "RadiantNewHorizonHomes.com General Inquiries" .

Re: Determine if email address is used by scammer Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Dani There is no way of determining the owner of an email address, especially from a free service such as GMail. Anyone can sign up for a free gmail account and purport to be anyone. However, if you're getting emails from a scammer, forward them to abuse@gmail.com so that GMail can follow up and take the appropriate action (e.g. shut down the GMail … Re: Determine if email address is used by scammer Digital Media Digital Marketing Search Engine Strategies by Puterwiz82 Thank you.
