Php Mail Not Received

maicol07 · September 18, 2017

Hi,

I wrote a PHP script that sends me an email but I can't receive it. Why?

Thanks

PHP script: (he gives me error that Mail class doesn't exists)

<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: Maicol
 * Date: 17/09/2017
 * Time: 20:49
 */
$post_name=$_POST["name"];
$post_email=$_POST["email"];
$post_message=$_POST["message"];
if ( $post_name ) {
    $to = "maicolbattistini@live.it";
    $lang = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
    $subject = "Request from 'About Me' Page";
    $message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Request from 'About Me' page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>You have received a request from your personal webpage:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Message</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>".$post_name."</td>
<td>".$post_email."</td>
<td>".$post_message."</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
    $headers .= 'From: <noreply@maicol07.tk>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Cc: noreply@maicol07.tk\r\n';
    $mail = new Mail();
    $mail->setFrom(SITEEMAIL);
    $mail->addAddress($to);
    $mail->subject($subject);
    $mail->body($body);
if ($mail->send()) {
    echo "<script>
alert('Email successfully sent!')
</script>";
    }
            else {
                echo "<script>
 alert('Email not sent! Please contact the administrator')</script>";
            }
echo "<script>
location.href = 'index.php';
</script>";
?>

With PHP mail() function:

<?php
/**
 * Created by PhpStorm.
 * User: Maicol
 * Date: 17/09/2017
 * Time: 20:49
 */
$post_name=$_POST["name"];
$post_email=$_POST["email"];
$post_message=$_POST["message"];
if ( $post_name ) {
    $to = "maicolbattistini@live.it";
    $lang = substr($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE'], 0, 2);
    $subject = "Request from 'About Me' Page";
    $message = "
<html>
<head>
<title>Request from 'About Me' page</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>You have received a request from your personal webpage:</p>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Email</th>
<th>Message</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>".$post_name."</td>
<td>".$post_email."</td>
<td>".$post_message."</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
";

// Always set content-type when sending HTML email
    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
    $headers .= "Content-type:text/html;charset=UTF-8" . "\r\n";

// More headers
    $headers .= 'From: <noreply@maicol07.tk>' . "\r\n";
    $headers .= 'Cc: noreply@maicol07.tk\r\n';
if (mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers)) {
    echo "<script>
alert('Email successfully sent!')
</script>";
    }
            else {
                echo "<script>
 alert('Email not sent! Please contact the administrator')</script>";
            }
echo "<script>
location.href = 'index.php';
</script>";
?>

I just tested mail() on Tommy using

<?php

$to = "me@example.com";
$subject = "Does php mail() work?";
$message = "Hello world!";
$headers = "From: no-reply@krydos@heliohost.org\r\n";

mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

I received it on my gmail account and my hotmail account. What version of php are you using?

PHP 5.6. Should I upgrade?

sagnik · September 19, 2017

Actually, I think php mail() works well with php 5.6.

Anyway, you have added if...else statement for validation, do you able to see any output like you specified in the "if" block or "else" block? Like, "Email sent successfully" or "Email not sent".

maicol07 · September 19, 2017

Yes, I see The successful one

sagnik · September 19, 2017

Give me some time to check the code... I've to execute the code to debug.

maicol07 · September 19, 2017

I found that the email arrives but extremely late...

sagnik · September 19, 2017

Here is the code (The problem was the new line string):

With Mail() class:

    $subject = "Request from 'About Me' Page";
    $message = "

Here is the received email screenshot:

So the only thing to change is to indent the html code in the string message and in the final echo?

sagnik · September 20, 2017

No, actually the problem were in the "\r\n" of cc header. I've marked the line. Remember, when setting the mail headers, the last added header can't contain a line break string, in your case, it was "\r\n".

maicol07 · September 20, 2017

It works very well. Thanks!!

sagnik · September 20, 2017

Your welcome!

jotace · September 22, 2017

<?php
    $headers .= 'Cc: noreply@maicol07.tk\r\n';	//<-- his code
    $headers .= 'Cc: noreply@maicol07.tk' . "\r\n";	//<-- correct way???
?>

Are you sure the last added header can't contain a line break string??

Please take a look at example #3 : https://www.w3schools.com/php/func_mail_mail.asp .

I think it is a bug about the PHP mail function... But I'm not sure... What I'm sure is that it works without it and the email arrives istantly, without imperfections. With /r/n added to the cc header the emails arrives lot of hour later...

@jotace

Yes, the last line also contain a line-break like you did but he had merged the line-break with the header inside the quotation mark so it didn't worked. As it was the last line of his mail headers block, I've removed the line-break. And may beis another reason, the emails he used in the 'from' & 'cc' header it has not configured correctly so the email couldn't send.
