Send email on insert?

QuestionsSend email on insert?
Gary Brett asked 9 years ago

Hello Abu, I wonder if it's possible to view the insert code for the add new record form? When I add a new record I think it would be great to be able to autosend an html email to the user with forms details in body? I've done this before but not use g phpgrid?

Kind regards

Gary

Hello,

You can do it using on_insert event handler.
It basically inject your custom code before the insert operation of grid.

You can also use on_after_insert.

Complete options and sample code can be checked in demos/editing/custom-events.php

Hi Abu, again thank you. Do you have any demos or code to achieve this at all? I have the below code which sends an email from my hosting but no idea how to pull the grid form data through and add to insert code of gridfrom?

<?php
ini_set( 'display_errors', 1 );
error_reporting( E_ALL );
$from = "[email protected]";
$to = "[col: email]";
$subject = "PHP Mail Test script";
$message = "All phpgrid fields here";
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($to,$subject,$message, $headers);
echo "Test email sent";
?>

Thank you very much sure it would be useful demo for us staters 🙂

Here is sample code:
http://hastebin.com/okuseyaluz.php

This is not tested. It is just to give an idea how to use on_insert event and it's data.

Hello,

Please email me your code. i'll integrate it to help your understand. You can email me at [email protected]

Btw, the comments in the hastebin link were not be uncommented. It was written:
"These comments are just to show the input param format"

Hi Abu, much appreciated & I know it was untested so no problems. As a test I have added the code to a working grid, once I remove the comments it starts to throw errors on line $data => Array as below.

If I change to == it then passes that line but errors on all lines below, looking at the custom vents demo that code seems fine so I must be looking in the wrong place, is $data => Array the correct code?

function add_client($data)
{

$data => Array
(
[params] => Array
(
[client_id] =>
[name] => Test
[gender] => male
[company] => Comp
)

)

$msg = "";

If any of the users who have purchased read this and indeed have a working example I would very much appreciate the assistance, this is a key function in my project to have clients emailed on insert?

Thank you so much

Hi Abu, I don't have the knowledge to implement this so am tackling it another way. Wondered if you could tell me where the View Record form is stored, I want to add some code and a button to it that will email the forms data, seems easier than emailing on insert.
