Programming :: Html Tags Inside PHP Mail Body Message?
Mar 9, 2010
Trying to write a small php program to send emails using a form. I have collected all the information in php variables and I can send the mails just fine. But I need some neat and clean formatting for the mail that is received and hence thought html tables would be nice. But all the html tags are received as plain text and not html though I have mentioned in headers content-type to be html. Any links? If anyone can put some light on it? I thought that html tags would just work fine without much issue. I have tried same with asp and it worked.
PS: I am no programmer. Just trying my hands out on some php.
Edit: I am using a php mailer class from php classes to send mails. I need some way to use an external smtp server for sending mails. I have seen pear but I do not want to use pear. It is not available on the server I am testing and it is not possible for me to install it. I do not have access to install pear and can not ask to install it.
Unfortunately, the second grep is greedy swallowing everything up to the last </ul> close tag. (The desired result is 2.) Speed is an issue as I will be searching through 350,000 files.
I am writing a script that is used to submit a package to testflight from my build system. In order to make the presentation as clear as possible I would like to include some basic HTML in the note section, however, using a < or > causes an error in curl. I have tried different variations of quoting and escaping but have not yet been able to find the solution.
I need some plugin for Gedit (or maybe other HTML-editor) which will make tags of words, like: I type "div", hit some hotkeys or anything else with keyboard and get "<div></div>". The same with all the words I type in. Do you guys know which piece of software can do such things?
I'm working on a project at work to automate sending e-mails to customers.Everything is in place except my ability to extract the useful data from HTML tags to use in the formation of the POST.
For a search box on my site, I want a textbox, which will let the user input the term to be searched for, and next to it I want a drop down list that'll have, for example, "Fruit" and "Vegetables" as categories to be searched within. How do I do the HTML for this? (so that the arguments to my search.php script will be eg. "search.php?text=apples&type=fruit" ? )
how to search for a specific string of text inside an html document. I then want to cut out that specific data that the field or string contains. I want to do a shellscript that makes this function automaticly.
For example:
# #Here i want to find the field "town" inside the html/java and then cut #out the town name from it and paste that to an file. # #
i have a website, there is a button that u click fill out a form and sends u a link to download a trial version of our software, the message gets sent with out html.. i copied a sample below (edited out some personal info)
I am running Ubuntu 10.04. for a few emails I receive thunderbird does not display the message body (header is OK). The emails where this happens are always emails where the message is there both as text/plain and as text/html as alternative. If I view the source, everything is there. I have tried to choose View->Original HTML / Simple HTML / Plain Text, but none of them worked.
Right now we send notification emails using a velocity template (apache and java), the thing is that the notification engine call the Email.vm file to add all the information and variables. This process only attach the information (text) on the .vm file.
We need to send that email on html. The thing is that if we write the html code on the file, when the .vm file is called that email includes the code not the result of the html.
We have tried adding the headers and everything.
The question is:
Is there some way that we can pre-process the html code and include to that email the result?
Or can we tell the .vm file that it should be handle as html? (like php for example <?php ?>, the <html> and </html> tags doesn't work.
I have ubuntu 10.04 on my HP Compaq laptop, and use evolution mail. Is there a way to delete an attachment I received, while keeping the rest of the body of that mail?
why the Message-Body is not shown when email is recieved using the PHP Script as given below? However, I can see the Attachment and the Subject Line properly. If I send an email to my Internal ID then everything is fine. But when the same email is sent to an external id such @someOtherCompany then the Message in the Body is not sent. how to seperate the $message varibale from being used in the $header part abd form it in HTML in a way that the Attachment part, and the subject part are not disturbed?
My website is domaintoolscentral dot com, I want to use PHP inside of my HTML pages but I can't seem to figure it out. I know it has to do with the httpd.conf file or I think it does. I do not want to use a .htacess file.
I am trying to read the names of hosts from a file and do a ssh to see if processes are all running or not.
Here is the outer loop that is causing problem:
hosts.lst is a text file that has the host names in each line.
The problem is that the loop just breaks after the first run. Somehow while read line becomes invalid when the body of the loop does the ssh and returns.
what is the best way (i.e standard way that is supported on all browsers and probably as well followed by web crawlers).... to include an html file either locally or externally in another ? Of course , i've done the research and i also know that there are server side includes (php , asp ...you name it) at the moment , i'm using this:
Quote:
<script type="text/javascript" src="path to file/include-file.js"> </script>
however, i've been warned that this method may not show up in some browsers as some tend to ignore this tag and that crawlers like your favorite search engine wouldn't bother reading this. so , what is the best and safest way to do the job? and btw , the reason why i've ousted SSI's from the start is because of among other things:
1) the fact that the included file is static html and because the text is included pretty much everywhere
2) hoping to reduce load time as the code (if successfully recognized) would hopefully be treated like any other embedded external file (e.x like an image) , therefore it would be cached without the need to downloaded it over and over again for each new page on the site.
I am trying to do something really simple with Exim. I have two machine connected together via a hub. They can ping each other. They each are running openSuse 11.2 and have Exim installed. On each machine from the command line in start Exim as a daemon by typing: sudo /usr/sbin/exim -bd -d and each machine runs through some output and sits there "Listening". Then on either machine I try to send a mail message of the form mail
(or mailx) <user>@<other node> some text EOT
and absolutly nothing happens! I must be doing something wrong or daft which is very basic, but I have searched all over and cannot get it to work.
I have written a scripts that checks the load average of server and if it is more than 5 it send a mail describing Current Load Average and High CPU/RAM processes . The problem is I want to send these information in html form .I have done necessary coding to do the same but whenever i try to include the output of following It doesnt seems to be properly formatted.
I have a lot of avis with annoying metadata that show in vlc. Since I cannot figure out how to configure vlc in a way that it won't show the tags, ffmpeg should strip the tags. This is supposed to do the trick:
All my cron jobs are configured to email output to [URL] Text content comes through, just fine. I have several cron jobs that output HMTL, however cron's output email displays the html tags as-is as text, instead of html. example: <br> Anyone got lucky being able to send cron output emails in html format (either by configuring fedora or through command line)? I have tried the following command lines in fedora crontab manager with no luck
TRY 1 CONTENT_TYPE=text/html /usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com (cron executes, but sends email as a text email, not html email) TRY 2 /usr/bin/php /full/path/myphp.php | mail -s 'email subject' myemail@mydomain.com
I'm not sure if this is a server problem or a PHP problem. I've tried the code on other servers and it seems to work - so I assume it's a server problem. I am running it on Ubuntu 10.10.
When run this code, it does not render in HTML on my OSX mail reader:
PHP Code:
<?php$to = "xxx@xxx.com";$subject = "HTML email";$message = "<html><head><title>HTML email</title></head><body><p>This email contains HTML Tags!</p><table><tr><th>Firstname</th><th>Lastname</th></tr><tr><td>John</td><td>Doe</td></tr></table></body></html>";// Always set content-type when sending HTML email$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "
I have a question about viewing HTML emails in the Evolution mail client. Basically, I am receiving some emails that look lovely in Thunderbird but not in Evolution because the HTML rendering of Evolution isn't as advanced.Here is a screenshot of the difference: how to improve the HTML rendering of Evolution? e.g. a plugin, tip, code patch, etc. The closest I've got is to right-click the email, "Save As...", save as a html file, then open in Firefox. Not exactly streamline!What emails can't it display well? We use the subversion revision control system which is set up to send an email whenever someone commits via svnnotify all nicely coloured via the --handler HTML::ColorDiff -d parameter. When Evolution fails to use the colours, I find it very hard to read the raw diff.
I want to match watever that is within the <item></item> tags and save it in the $content variable. however, the <item> tags can spread over multiple lines:
I have recently set up an ubuntu 10:04 based email server using postfix, clamav and squirrelmail. The setup works like a beast, much better than the old sco based system we were using. Anyway I work for a law firm, and we have use a bespoke case management system to complete work on cases. We have started a paperless office initiative. This means we are asking more and more clients and firms to correspond via email. This is where my troubles are kicking in. The governing body of solicitors in the UK is very picky, and we have to have certain formats and information in documents when sent out to clients, this is the same for emails.
I have a script that will cat the html header information, then cat the body of the email and finally cat the footer html information. The output of which is perfect and usable to the firm. My problem comes sending this file. The end of the script I have the following:
Code: mail -s $SUBJECT $CLIENTS_EMAIL < email.$$$ Pretty self explanatory. But when the email is sent from the mail queue its not delivered in html format but in plain text. Any email sent using outlook from any machine on the network can send and receive html email. How can I make this happen from the command line?
Using a list of names (over 4000 of them) painstakingly gleaned from the source file years ago for a database file, I want to match the names against the source file so that they can be updated with the tags <forename></forename> in the original source file.
I placed the list of names in @forenames (only posted a few of them here).
Perl script is:
I am able to get the name bracketed by the tags to appear on the console screen but don't know how to apply the output to the source file. Perhaps I need to do a match on the words then some kind of edit to surround the matching words with the xml tags? I'm a rank novice doing this as a labour of love for a friend.
