doHeader("$sitename: Public Mailer");

if (getSetting('mailer_is_on')==0) {
showmsg('mailer_is_off');
$buildtime=builtin();
$myspiffytrout=str_replace('<buildtime>', $buildtime, $myspiffytrout);
$myspiffytrout=str_replace('<numberqueries>', $numqueries, $myspiffytrout);
echo $myspiffytrout;
exit();
}

if ($action=='news') $action='mailer';
if ($action=='mailer') {

require('adminfunctions.php');

$inputs[]=formtop('mail.php?action=sendmail');
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['addr'])) {
$inputs[]=inputform('display', $HTTP_GET_VARS['addr'], 'addr');
} else {

$inputs[]=inputform('textarea', getwordbit('mailmsg'), 'message', '', 70, 10);
$inputs[]=inputform('submitreset', getwordbit('mailsubmit'), getwordbit('mailreset'));

doinputs();
formbottom();

} elseif ($action=='sendmail') {

echo $myspiffytrout;

if (getSetting('gzcompress')==1)
ob_end_flush();

Try to use the superglobals array ($_GET/$_POST...) in you if´s and else´s (Example):

Code: Select all

<?php
elseif ($_POST['action'] == 'sendmail'){
...
?>

If you don´t know what i´m talking about, please read this!

I recommend you to use it too instead of $HTTP_*_VARS!

Hey if you want something to refer to i beleive i have a post here labled "I guess another mail class" or something close, that has a class you can use to email (i beleive with attatchments) and a few functions that i came up with for SMTP and POP3, but that neednt to be looked over, just look at the class (initial class). Hope that helps...
Also can you tell us the error that you get or at least its number, sometimes it can be something really simple. Ill read through the code whenever i have any time, sort of busy at the time, but i will find time...

Here is the related fail adminfunction.php that I used in mail.php.....I hope this will help all of you ...
thank you very much

the code :

<?php

error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE);

$cpfont="<font size=\"-2\" face=\"verdana\" color=\"#000000\">";

function doinputs()
{
GLOBAL $inputs;
foreach ($inputs as $value) echo $value;
}
function inputform($type, $description, $name='', $value='', $size=50, $maxlength=80)
{
GLOBAL $tdbgcolor,$tdbgcolor,$webroot,$normalfont,$cn,$isadmin,$userid,$layout,$dbr,$formwidth,$textarea_rows;
if ($size==50)
$size=$formwidth;

$commonhtml="\n <tr>
<td bgcolor=\"$tdbgcolor\" width=\"40%\">
$normalfont" .stripslashes($description). "<br />$cn
</td>
<td bgcolor=\"$tdbgcolor\" align=\"top\">\n";
switch ($type) {
case 'text':
$html="\n$commonhtml
<input type=\"text\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\" size=\"$size\" maxlength=\"$maxlength\" />
</td>
</tr>\n";
break;

case 'display':
$html="
<tr>
<td bgcolor=\"$tdbgcolor\" colspan=\"2\">$normalfont" .stripslashes($description). "$cn<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"$name\" value=\"$value\" />
$normalfont<b>" .stripslashes($value). "</b>$cn
</td>
</tr>\n";
break;

case 'textarea':
$maxlength=$textarea_rows;
$html="\n$commonhtml
<textarea name=\"$name\" rows=\"$maxlength\" cols=\"$size\" wrap>$value</textarea>
</td>
</tr>\n";
break;

case 'submitreset':
$html="\n$commonhtml
<input type=\"submit\" value=\"$description\" name=\"$value\">
<input type=\"reset\" value=\"$name\">
</td>
</tr>\n";
break;

function formtop($submiturl)
{
GLOBAL $tablebordercolor;
$html="<table bgcolor=\"$tablebordercolor\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" ><tr><td>
<table cellspacing=\"1\" cellpadding=\"2\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\">
<form action=\"$submiturl\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\">\n";
return $html;
}

I have tried the code that regarding of the
elseif ($_POST['action']=='sendmail'....
what happen after I changed it...there is no sign that the email is sent or not...

First, try print/echo your variables to see if there´s something on it, like:

Code: Select all

<?php

$to = $HTTP_POST_VARS['to'];
$from = $HTTP_POST_VARS['from'];
$subject = $HTTP_POST_VARS['subject'];
$message = $HTTP_POST_VARS['message'];

echo $to;
echo $from;
echo $subject;
echo $message;

?>

Use that the $_POST array in all of your code instead of $HTTP_POST_VARS.

EXample:

Code: Select all

<?php
...

elseif ($_POST['action'] == 'sendmail') {
$to = $_POST['to'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$message = $_POST['message'];

// In all of your code
// You can try to print/echo this too, to see what´s inside!
...

?>

I don´t know from where some of your variables are coming from , anyway, just a not:

Use $_POST for all of the variables sent through from with method post. Otherwise (form with method get, not sent through form) use $_GET.

So it´s possible that you need to use $_GET in that elseif and in the others witch were not sent through form!
