Hia Abu,

I need to send an email after updating a record to the email associated with the record. The following is my code for the on_update envent. I don’t understand how to get at the email data in the $data array.   Can you assist?

//Send notification email 
$e["on_update"] = array("send_notification", null, true);

$g->set_events($e);

function send_notification($data)
{ 
require"../functions/dbconn.php";
$sql = 'select appvar_value from appvars where appvar_name ="registration_sender"';
$result = $con->query($sql);
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { 
$from = $row["appvar_value"];
} 
$e="{$data['params']['employee_sak']}";
$sql = "select email from employee where employee_sak =".$e;
$result = $con->query($sql);
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) { 
$to = $row["email"];
} 
//$to=$data["email"];
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set $to=$to;
$subject = 'the subject';
$message = 'hello';
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0'."\r\n";
$headers.='Content-type: text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1'."\r\n";
$headers.='From: '.$from."\r\n". $from."\r\n". 'X-Mailer: PHP/'.phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

whoa not sure why that formatted like that

 

here is the code I need help with. Trying to get the email data from $data on_update

 

//Send notification email
$e[“on_update”] = array(“send_notification”, null, true);
$g->set_events($e);
function send_notification($data)
{
require”../functions/dbconn.php”;
$sql = ‘select appvar_value from appvars where appvar_name =”registration_sender”‘;
$result = $con->query($sql);
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$from = $row[“appvar_value”];
}
$e=”{$data[‘params’][’employee_sak’]}”;
$sql = “select email from employee where employee_sak =”.$e;
$result = $con->query($sql);
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$to = $row[“email”];
}
//$to=$data[“email”];
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$to=$to;
$subject = ‘the subject’;
$message = ‘hello’;
$headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0′.”\r\n”;
$headers.=’Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1’.”\r\n”;
$headers.=’From: ‘.$from.”\r\n”.
$from.”\r\n”.
‘X-Mailer: PHP/’.phpversion();
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
}

Your code looks fine.

The $data in “function send_notification($data)” should contain all the editable fields of the grid while doing edit operation.

To debug what you are getting in $data, You can put:

function send_notification($data)
{
phprgid_error($data);
//…
}

This will print the contents of $data in an message box and you can see what’s in it.

Does the field have to be editable? The email field is not a field that will be being edited.

 

Also that bit of code is an error for me

So sorry,. It’s a typo. It should be phpgrid_error($data);
