Using a template for the mail() function

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

Anybody ever did something like this? I see that Nuke uses the phpbb template for emailing stuff like registration and private messages.

What I have in my submitComment function is the following:

$cid = $db->sql_nextid(); // capture last cid autoincrement value.
notify($cid);

The notify funtion will send the email that they have a waiting comment to reply to.

Code:

function notify($cid) {


global $db;   


$sql = $db->sql_query("SELECT * FROM comment_queue cq JOIN director d


ON d.course_id = cq.course_id


WHERE cid = '$cid'");


if (!$sql) {


      echo("<p>Error performing query: " . mysql_error() . "</p>");


      exit();   


      }      


while ($row = $db->sql_fetchrow($sql)) {


$to = $row['email'];


$subject = $row['title'];


$message = $row['comment_text'];


}





$headers = 'From: Questions' . "\r\n" .


    'Reply-To: questions@wright.edu' . "\r\n" .


    'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();


mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);         


}

What I would like to do is use a template to format the email and make it more professional looking.

After looking at the privmsg_notify.tpl, I am trying to do something like:

Code:

Subject: New Question has arrived


Charset: iso-8859-1





Hello Professor {USERNAME},

I have searched the Forum module for code that I could duplicate to use this, but have come up empty.

Some sort of

Code:

$template->set_filenames('body.tpl');

Took me all day but I think I got it.

I would post the code but again NukeSentinal blocks me and I don't have the time to create a txt and upload.
