Can anyone see a problem with this email script? | | |
Wondering if anyone can see an error with this script. I get a server
configuration error. THat could mean a module is not being loaded, but
maybe there's a syntax error here, can anyone spot it? Thanks

while ($field = current($_REQUEST)) {

Have you tried with the very simplest possible mail? I mean just leave
out all the form shit and custom headers and such and just try:
mail('your_email@example.com','this is a test', 'Hello Kitty!');
And if you get a server configuration error with that, then it's not a
php problem, it's a configuration problem. If not, you can slowly start
adding the stuff you have above to your mail and then see where it goes
wrong.
BTW. It's not against the law or anything to have colons in field names,
but just to be on the safe side, I wouldn't use them. They serve no
purpouse and it's just not customary to do so. I actually had to test to
see if they really really work, and yes they do, but it's still quite
odd to do so. I was thinking the old "dots are converted to undescores"
trick...

hi yes your basic mail works, so it's something else.
it's a very weird set up I've inherited. They have the actual form
separated out and embeded in a flash app, so I can't even see it! Then
they ahve two separate php scripts, one to handle the form processing,
and this one to handle to email respone. but the form processor does
not seem to point to this email script. What a mess. | | | | re: Can anyone see a problem with this email script?

Well you could try looking at what the form actually passes to the
script. Put something like this at the very beginning of your mail script:
file_put_contents('my_mail_log.txt', print_r($_REQUEST, 1));
Kinda like trap what it's trying to send and try to figure out if
there's something wrong there, missing parameters or something.
The form being flash explains the colons though... Flash designers...

Unfortunately, the form is embedded in a flash binary!
I cannot see the source code at this time.

That's quite alright. That's why I told you to check what the form sends
to the mail script. Insert this line at the beginning of the mailer
script so you'll see what the flash form sends to the mailer, even if
you can't see what is happening inside the flash:
file_put_contents('my_mail_log.txt', print_r($_REQUEST, 1));
And then try sending mail from the flash application and study the
results in my_mail_log.txt.

Thanks for these interesting replies.
The script is so bad, I think I'm goign to have to do it again.
The flash part isn't even done right either, so I have to make a test
form in any case.
Can you recommend a good generic php form parser?
Simpler the better. | | | | re: Can anyone see a problem with this email script?

Your opinion is wrong. The Flash object is just a frontend -- it doesn't
*need* to be exploited -- the script can still be used for spamming
purposes without even looking at the Flash. Quote:

Intentions don't really come into it. His script can emit spam, and given
enough time, will do. Quote:

I did -- in my initial post to this thread I quoted the 27 bytes of code
in his script that allow any miscreant to use his script to spam their way
across the globe.

I just inherited this script, I didn't write it.
probably you wrote it, which is why it's so bad.

Sorry, I agree with Tony. Whether you wrote the script or inherit it,
if you use it your system will become a spam source.

Indeed. I just thought Toby's answer was brutal, rude and blunt. And it
