Question

Answer 1

+2 A:

The last bit has me confused:

return mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);
echo $to;
echo $subject;
echo $body;
echo $headers;

You know that none of those echo statements are going to get executed because they are after the return right?

Try using error_log to verify steps in the script or viewing the error log itself if you haven't tried that.

Use PHPMailer/Lite. Save yourself the MIME headache.

require_once('../class.phpmailer.php');

$mail             = new PHPMailer(); // defaults to using php "mail()"

$body             = file_get_contents('contents.html');
$body             = eregi_replace("[\]",'',$body);

$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");

$mail->SetFrom('[email protected]', 'First Last');

$mail->AddReplyTo("[email protected]","First Last");

$address = "[email protected]";
$mail->AddAddress($address, "John Doe");

$mail->Subject    = "PHPMailer Test Subject via mail(), basic";

$mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test

$mail->MsgHTML($body);

$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!";
}

Here, I fixed it for you. I checked it and it's working good. Also make sure that your hosting supports mail() function. If SMTP is not enabled, then you wont be able to send mail for sure.

REVISED CODE:

<?php 
function send_email($subject='Activate Your Account') { 

    $en['email'] = '[email protected]';
    $to = $en['email'];
    $en['memb_id'] = '39';
    $en['confcode'] = '69696969';
    $en['user'] = 'couple';

    $text_content = "Confirm Your domain.com Account\r\n";
    $text_content.= "UserName: " . $en['user'] . "\r\n";
    $text_content.= "Activate Your Account by visiting this link below:\r\n";
    $text_content.= "http://www.domain.com/confirm/" . $en['memb_id'] . "/" . $en['confcode'] . "\r\n";
    $text_content.= "\r\n";
    $text_content.= "______________________\r\n";
    $text_content.= "Thanks,\r\n";
    $text_content.= "Staff";

    $html_content = "<html><body><h1>Confirm Your domain.com Account</h1>";
    $html_content.= "<p>UserName: " . $en['user'] . "<br>";
    $html_content.= "Activate Your Account by visiting this link below:<br>";
    $html_content.= "<a href=http://www.domain.com/confirm/" . $en['memb_id'] . "/" . $en['confcode'] . ">http://www.domain.com/confirm/" . $en['memb_id'] . "/" . $en['confcode'] . "</a>";
    $html_content.= "</p>";
    $html_content.= "______________________<br>";   
    $html_content.= "Thanks,<br>";
    $html_content.= " Staff";
    $html_content.= "</body></html>";

    $mime_boundary = 'Multipart_Boundary_x'.md5(time()).'x';

    $headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
    $headers.= "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=\"$mime_boundary\"\r\n";
    $headers.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\r\n";

    $body = "This is a multi-part message in mime format.\n\n";
    $body.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
    $body.= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"charset=us-ascii\"\n";
    $body.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
    $body.= $text_content;
    $body.= "\n\n";

    $body.= "--$mime_boundary\n";
    $body.= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
    $body.= "Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n";
    $body.= $html_content;
    $body.= "\n\n";
    $body.= "--$mime_boundary--\n";

    $headers.= 'From: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
    $headers.= "X-Sender-IP: $_SERVER[SERVER_ADDR]\r\n";
    $headers.= 'Date: '.date('n/d/Y g:i A')."\r\n";
    $headers.= 'Reply-To: <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";

    return mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

    }

?>

Hope that helps. Let us know.
