How to send mysql data to email after submitting the form?
After customer filling the form, the form data will be send to mysql, and an email will sent to me with the last form data that customer submitted. All is working, but only the problem is in the email "last mysql data" is not going as inline text. So, how to do this? I am doing in PHP. In am new in PHP. Please help me.
Sample code is given below.
Code:
<?php
define('DB_NAME', 'sandi565_form11');
define('DB_USER', 'XXXXXXX');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXXX');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
$link = mysql_connect (DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
die('Can\'t use ' . DB_NAME . ': ' . mysql_error());
}
//Start Posting the data in Mysql database from Form Input
$value = $_POST['input1'];
$value2 = $_POST['MAmount'];
$sql = "INSERT INTO demo (input1, MAmount) VALUES ('$value', '$value2')";
if (!mysql_query($sql)) {
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
//start print the database
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM demo ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1")
or die(mysql_error());
Print "<table border cellpadding=3>";
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $data ))
{
Print "<tr>";
Print "<th>ID:</th> <td>".$info['ID'] . "</td> ";
Print "<th>Input1:</th> <td>".$info['input1'] . "</td> ";
Print "<th>MAmount:</th> <td>".$info['MAmount'] . " </td></tr>";
}
Print "</table>";
mysql_close();
//end print the database on form processing page
//start emailing the data
date_default_timezone_set('Asia/Kolkata');
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
//include("class.smtp.php"); // optional, gets called from within class.phpmailer.php if not already loaded
$mail = new PHPMailer();
//$body = "gdssdh";
//$body = preg_replace("[\]",'',$body);
$mail->IsSMTP(); // telling the class to use SMTP
$mail->Host = "ssl://XXXXXXX.XXXXXXX.org"; // SMTP server
$mail->SMTPDebug = 1; // enables SMTP debug information (for testing)
// 1 = errors and messages
// 2 = messages only
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // enable SMTP authentication
$mail->SMTPSecure = "ssl"; // sets the prefix to the servier
$mail->Host = "XXXXXXX.XXXXXXX.org"; // sets GMAIL as the SMTP server
$mail->Port = 465; // set the SMTP port for the GMAIL server
$mail->Username = "contact@XXXXXXX.com"; // GMAIL username
$mail->Password = "XXXXXXX"; // GMAIL password
$mail->SetFrom('contact@XXXXXXXX.com', 'HAL');
//$mail->AddReplyTo("user2@gmail.com', 'First Last");
$mail->Subject = "Halmira 469";
//THE PROBLEM IS HERE WHEN I WANT TO SEND THE DATA AS INLINE TEXT TO EMAIL FROM MYSQL IT IS NOT WORKING. ONLY "PRINT THE DATA" IS SENDING TO EMAIL.
$body = 'Print the data';
mysql_connect("localhost","XXXXXXX","XXXXXXX");
@mysql_select_db("sandi565_form11");
$query["SELECT * FROM demo ORDER BY ID DESC LIMIT 1"];
$result = mysql_query($query);
//while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
// $mail->AltBody = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
$mail->MsgHTML($body);
$address = "XXXXXXX@gmail.com";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "user2");
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer.gif"); // attachment
//$mail->AddAttachment("images/phpmailer_mini.gif"); // attachment
if(!$mail->Send()) {
echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
echo "Message sent!";
}

simply retrieve the contents of the database first and put it in a variable. echo it to the screen to make sure the variable contains the right data (temporarily as a check) and then assign that variable to your $body variable.
Can you please show me this by writing the code? That it is how to retrieve, put variable, echo in the screen and then put in the body. Also I have written some code, please see above.
I don't mind to help out when you're stuck at a particular point, but i don't feel much like generating all the code for you. There's only three simple steps you need to take:
1. write a sql statement that selects the right data from the database
2. write the php code that executes this statement and saves the result in a variable
3. assign this variable to your already existing $body variable
that's it.
put this code directly above
PHP Code:
require_once('class.phpmailer.php');
for example and it should work
why don't you give it a try how far you get and post the result here if you get stuck
