not receiving emails expected

The following describes the problem I am having. Can anyone help?





$send_to[] = "davjoh123@yahoo.com";
$send_to[] = "production@advisiongraphics.com";
$send_to[] = "advision_galiano@mac.com";




// send email
foreach ($send_to as $dest)

mail($dest,$email_subject,$message,$header); //This line NOT
working
//expecting it to send email to all the above addresses assigned to
$send_to[] array. Is it because values have not been added to $dest
and if so how to do

mail($r["email"],$email_subject,$message,$header); //This line
working

Nope, but you haven't told us enough about your problem. For instance,
what's the response from the mail() call? What's in $header?

Are you suer it isn't going into a spam black hole somewhere? Are you
trying to send too many emails too quickly, and therefore upsetting your
MTA?

This is what is in the header

// build headers
$header = sprintf("From: %s\n",$email_from);
Not sure what you mean by response to mail() call.

Here is some more code related to the header

if (!empty($mail_page))
{
// build headers
$header .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$header .= "Content-Type: text/html\n";

ob_start();
include($mail_page);
$message = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
$message .= "\n";
}
else
{
// build email
$message = "";
$message .= sprintf("Subject: %s\n",$subject);
$message .= "\n";
$message .= sprintf("Date: %s\n",$r["adate"]);
$message .= sprintf("Company: %s\n",$r["company"]);
$message .= sprintf("First Name: %s\n",$r["firstname"]);
$message .= sprintf("Last Name: %s\n",$r["lastname"]);
$message .= sprintf("Email: %s\n",$r["email"]);
$message .= sprintf("Phone: %s\n",$r["tel_phone"]);
$message .= "\n";
$message .= sprintf("Mailing: %s\n",$r["mailing"]);
$message .= "\n";
$message .= sprintf("Comments:\n",$r["comments"]);
$message .= sprintf("%s\n",$r["comments"]);
$message .= "\n";
}

mail() is a function call. It has a return code indicating whether the
email was passed on to your MTA or not.

What's that response?

The first step is to see if it even made it to the mta.

And don't try to fool with html to start. Get it to work with plain
text, first.

And when you do send html email, you should always have a plain text
mime type for those who have text email readers (or choose to disable
html email).

Also, some spam filters will block email which has just html.

It appears this is the solution.

The php.ini file needed 'short tags on' enabled to read the
array correctly.

No, short tags has nothing to do with reading arrays. And nothing
you've posted here indicates a problem with short tags.

Also, you should not be depending on short_tags being on. Even Zend
talks about that.

if I echo the results of reading the array could that help in
determining the problem?

It could. But more importantly, where is the data coming from? and
what does it look like there?

And when dealing with objects and arrays, it's generally better to do
something like:

echo "

\n";

print_r ($var);

echo "

OK, a few things. If you have to have the file, instead of using
include_once(), use require_once(). And what are in these files? Do
they perhaps use short tags?

You should use $_POST and $_GET instead of HTTP_POST_VARS and
HTTP_GET_VARS. The former are superglobals, the latter are not.

What's the purpose of this?

ob_start();
include($mail_page);
$message = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();

Including the file will display anything displayable, anyway.

Also, you have a lot of other stuff going on - database, etc.

Is this running on a test sever? If so, you should be running with

display_errors=on
error_reporting=E_ALL

in your php.ini file.

If this is a production server, the above is not a good idea. But you
can do the same thing by putting at the top of your script:

ini_set("display_errors", "1");
ini_set("error_reporting", E_ALL);

If you still can't see anything wrong, strip it down to the bare
minimums and try to get it working. It will be much easier to debug,
and once you get that working, you can add features and ensure it keeps
working.

It appears all the emails that should have been sent, were. It just

I guess it's true - while electricity moves at the speed of light,
electrons move at 1-2 inches/second.
