php not working

[Neville]

THANKS Guys.
Is there a post or can you tell me how to redirect, just in case I decide to use it?

Thanks again for all your help and a great script and cart system.

[Neville]

Oh also, as I forgot to ask -
Where in the script does one place the redirect? This is not intuitive as far as I can see.
It obviously needs to replace the message at the end and as I have such a page already I can insert the Clear cart script into that.
Thanks

You can do a JavaScript redirect at the end:

Code: Select all

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";
echo "window.location = \"http://www.company.com/thankyou.html\"";
echo "</script>";


This replaces:

Code: Select all

include($header);
echo "<h2>Thank you</h2>";
echo "Thank you for your order from our online store.  You will receive a confirmation email of your order ";
echo "momentarily.  Please contact us at $youremail if you have any questions or concerns.";
echo "<P>";
echo "<A HREF=\"$returnpage\" target=_top>Return Home</A>";
echo "<P>";
include($footer);


Don't forget to add the "delete cookie" code to the new thank you page.

Guys,
Thanks again for all your help so far. I hope this last request will solve the final issue and get this working completely.
The last issue relqted to SMTP. I had the hosts upgrade the site I am working on to a new server with Pear mail.
Tests so far work MOSTLY well. The problem faced now is the sending of the CONFIRMATION email to the client.
As the $youremail = "raymonde@norickinteriors.com";
is on the host domain, that mail delivers fine.
However, because of the SMPT AUTH issue, if a NON-DOMIAN email addres is specified by the visitor, which is 100% likley, then an error response is given and then the THANK YOU redirect happens.
The error is
SMTP server response <nevb@webmail.co.za> no such user here (response abridged)
The host company says that SMTP auth must be activated to send that confo mail.
I am not a PHP writer and have NO clue how to modify the script.
Here is the script currently:

Code: Select all

<?php


$returnpage    = "http://www.norickinteriors.com/select.html";
$youremail     = "raymond@norickinteriors.com";
$csvfilename   = "";
$csvquote      = "\"\"";
$mode          = "EMAIL";

The hst website Knowledge base makes mention of this

For PHP:
If you need to send mail from your own designed PHP page, you'll need to use the PEAR MAIL function. Info on this function and sample code can be found in the following article:
Sending mail with PHP using SMTP-auth
If you're using an open source PHP application, the solution may vary slightly. First, check the email settings configuration option for the product, and if it has options for sending mail via SMTP, SMTP-auth, SMTP username and SMTP password, then it probably supports it out of the box, and you just need to configure those options. A few common open source products do not support this with their base/default installation, and an add-on is required. The following KB articles provide info on enabling SMTP-auth for some common, open source, PHP based solutions:
Adding SMTP-auth support to OSCommerce
Enabling SMTP-AUTH support in phpBB

http://knowledge.3essentials.com/index. ... cle&id=403
Can you possibly help to tell me how to incorporate the SMTP auth into teh script so the confo mail can be sent without error.
Thanks a ton guys

For PHP I would recommend Expert Mailer http://www.xpertmailer.com/ , I have used it on many servers requiring SMTP

I am grateful for this, BUT, regrettably I am not smart enough to know exactly WHERE in the script thios needs to go, and what it needs to replace.

Am I right in thinking this replaces:

-------------
//# Send email conformation to the customer.....
$mailheaders = "From: $youremail\r\n";
$mailheaders .="X-Mailer: PHP Mail generated by:NOP Design Shopping Cart\r\n";
$subject = "Enquiry Confirmation";
mail($b_email, $subject, $strMessageBody, $mailheaders);

--------
before the first echo of the response echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">";?

If that is so, maybe I can do this.
Also I noted alot of additional stuff in it w/ credit card details etc which of course is not required or valid.
I am grateful if you can advise.
Thanks.

What Stefko posted is Perl code.

You need to send the e-mail using PEAR's SMTP mail functions.

Maybe you ISP allows you to use non-PEAR SMTP?

John
The servers use PEAR mail. I would LIKE to incorporate the confirmation email to teh client, but because of the SMTP auth isue on their servers, mails will not be sent to any address NOt on the same domain.
So in order to get past that apparently I need an SMTP auth cosing part to compile and send that part of the mail.
The email to the client box with the order is delivered fine.
There is an error reponse at SEND, and then the thank you edirect displays. The order mail delivers to the domain, but of course the client confirmation does not. As already mentioned, I know almost nothing of PHp and just would like to know if there is a snippet we can insert (like what Stefko posted) that will send that part successfully.
Beyond that the whole process and script is working fantastically.

Many many thanks

If they don't allow you to relay, and if the SMTP server requires authentication, it's something like this:

Code: Select all

<?php

   require "Mail.php";

   $sender    = "webmaster@company.com";
   $recipient = "recipient@customer.com";
   $subject   = "New Order";
   $body      = "blah blah ...";

   $server   = "ssl://smtp.gmail.com";
   $username = "webmaster@company.com";
   $password = "secret";
   $port     = "465";

   $headers = array(
      "From"    => $sender,
      "To"      => $recipient,
      "Subject" => $subject
   );

   $smtp = Mail::factory("smtp",
      array(
        "host"     => $server,
        "username" => $username,
        "password" => $password,
        "auth"     => true,
        "port"     => 465
      )
   );

   $mail = $smtp->send($recipient, $headers, $body);

   if (PEAR::isError($mail)) {
      echo ($mail->getMessage());
   }

?>

Like I said at the bottom of my post:

For PHP I would recommend Expert Mailer http://www.xpertmailer.com/ , I have used it on many servers requiring SMTP

Let me repeat what I said before, for PHP, the script from Expert Mailer can be used for POP3, SMTP, MTA, MAIL. Damn ez to use!
I am converting over 60 sites from SENDMAIL to SMTP because soon SENDMAIL will no longer be supported, both PHP and PERL

As to the PERL script, your correct it's PERL , but PERL and PHP are formatted nearly the same, so us it as a reference.
