Auto Respond Message By Using Gmail Smtp For Form Submit by nigil(op): 12:41pm On Mar 09, 2009

Hi i am a newbie here,

I own a website, In my contact page ( http://www.nigil.uuuq.com/Contact Me/ )there is fileds for submitting name, email, and comments from users. By using a php file i am storing these data in to a txt file in the server. what i want to do is to sent an auto respond message to these email id's when they gets submitted using my gmail smtp mail account. i am using a free host so i dont have any mailserver. Is it possible. if possilble please help me to do it. any help would be well appreciated.

given below the code for the html page for submiting data.

<form action="http://www.mysite.com/mailer.php?savedata=1" method="post">
Your Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Your Email : <input type="text" name="email"><br><br>
Your Message:<br> <textarea name="message" rows="1" cols="1"></textarea><br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

given below the code for the php page for storing data.

<?php
$savedata = $_REQUEST['savedata'];
if ($savedata == 1){
$data = $_POST['name'];
$data1 .= $_POST['email'];
$data2 .= $_POST['message'];
$file = "YOURDATAFILE.txt";
$fp = fopen($file, "a" wink

Traditionally if you host have a server configured, i mean a mail server


<?
$to = "webmaster@php-scripts.com";
$from_header = "From: $from";
if($contents != ""
{
   //send mail - $subject & $contents come from surfer input
   mail($to, $subject, $contents, $from_header);
   // redirect back to url visitor came from
   header("Location: $HTTP_REFERER";
}
  else
{
   print("<HTML><BODY>Error, no comments were submitted!";
   print("</BODY></HTML>";
}
?>

But if not, u will want to specify your own server connections to use right?

I use linux so the first solution I will profer is one that works on linux, there is a PEAR interface called Mail. I dont know if it is included on windows or not, but on linux, if u insatll PHP Pear, then this code will work


<?php
include("Mail.php";
/* mail setup recipients, subject etc */
$recipients = "feedback@yourdot.com";
$headers["From"] = "user@somewhere.com";
$headers["To"] = "feedback@yourdot.com";
$headers["Subject"] = "User feedback";
$mailmsg = "Hello, This is a test.";
/* SMTP server name, port, user/passwd */
$smtpinfo["host"] = "smtp.mycorp.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "smtpusername";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "smtpPassword";
/* Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method */
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
/* Ok send mail */
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $mailmsg);
?>

I found this blog while googling, I never tried it I hope it works
http://deepakssn..com/2006/06/gmail-php-send-email-using-php-with.html

last option, go inside the php.ini file and tinker with the configuration in [mail function] section.
