TESTING THE PHP MAIL() AND MAILARAY() FUNCTIONS - Aug 23rd, 2014
|
Here are 2 simple scripts for testing your server's PHP mail() and one to test CMSB's built in mailArray function:
CAVEAT: Make sure that the 'from' address and the 'to' address are real, or your mailserver may kick your email back
with no specific error messages. I had a .com instead of a .org as the TLD in an admin email address, and since there
was no .com domain, the password change email, supposedly coming from the admin email address, was kicked back by the
server as invalid and never got delivered. I guess that applies to those noreply@noreply.com email return addresses as
well.
<?php
$message = '';
if (isset($_POST['email']) && !empty($_POST['email'])){
if (mail($_POST['email'], $_POST['subject'], $_POST['body'], '')){
$message = "Email has been sent to <b>".$_POST['email']."</b>.";
}else{
$message = "Failed sending message to <b>".$_POST['email']."</b>.";
}
}else{
if (isset($_POST['submit'])){
$message = "No email address specified!";
}
}
if (!empty($message)){
$message .= "n";
}
?>
