How to send mysql data to email after submitting the form?

[sandipcd]

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.

<?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!";
}

?>

Something like:

PHP Code:

//while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) {
//  $mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test
    $row0 = // format and sanitize $row[0]
    $row1 = // format and sanitize $row[1] etc..
    $body .= $row0 . ' ' . $row1;
    // then after the while loop..
  $mail->MsgHTML($body); 


but, as indicated, you'll need to format, and perhaps sanitize, the database-data.

You appear not to have the closing bracket } for your while loop.

NB You have made no attempt to sanitize, or check, your post-data before inserting it into the database;
You are using the deprecated/ discouraged mysql library.

Sir, can you please tell me, which portion of data I should format and sanitize? And where I should give the closing bracket }?
I am very new in PHP Mysql, please help.

[AndrewGSW]

PHP Code:

}    <<< I believe the closing bracket should be here
if(!$mail->Send()) {
  echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo;
} else {
  echo "Message sent!";
} 


I cannot tell you how to format, and possibly sanitize, your data as I don't know what the data looks like that you are retrieving from your database.

[sandipcd]

Sir, please see the print screen of my database. I am using WAMP for phpMyAdmin. Apache version 2.2.22, PHP Version 5.4.3 , MySQL Version 5.5.24. Please if you let me know where I can improve my database, your help will be very much appreciated.

[AndrewGSW]

Well, I suppose if I assume that your fields input1 and MAmount are just plain text, and you just want to insert them into the email, then you could just do:

PHP Code:

//while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)) { 
//  $mail->AltBody    = "To view the message, please use an HTML compatible email viewer!"; // optional, comment out and test 
    $row1 = $row[1];
    $row2 = $row[2]; 
    $body .= $row1 . ' ' . $row2 . '\n'; // add a newline between each row in the email
    // then after the while loop.. 
  $mail->MsgHTML($body); 


If no formatting of the text is required then you could even dispense with $row1 and 2, and just:

    $body .= $row[1] . ' ' . $row[2];

If you look at the resultant email you may then decide that you want to tidy up the message with spaces and newlines.
