I've tried a few different Tell-a-Friend PHP scripts in the past, but the message sent ended up in the junk folder most of the time (usualy when sent to a free email account - Hotmail, Yahoo..). I also tried a simple script with the mail() function, but it never made it to the inbox. Could it be that my host is blacklisted, or that the script requires smtp to make it past the spam filters? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The reason the mails end up in the junk folder is definitely because of your host.. Try sending an email to your own yahoo or msn account and when you recieve it mark it as "Not spam" By the way.. can you tell me/ give me a nice simple tell-a-friend script? I'm looking for one that doesn't require the name of the creator to appear in the emails or on the page.
try this one download here it has spam protection. I have seen many of these types of scripts that allow the user to add their message, doing so allows persons to use your account to spam other people. So this script is more secure than most.
The script seems good but it gives an error which I can't fix: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/hqms/public_html/test/friend.php on line 24 Any thoughts on that? (note that I haven't modified anything in the script except for the email address.
