Hi,

I’m trying sending emails to users when they properly enter some new data.

Actually i’m using this :

{exp:channel:entries channel="Fiche" author_id="CURRENT_USER" }
<?php
$subject = "bla";
$message = "bla";

$this->EE->load->library('email'); 

$this->EE->email->wordwrap = true;
$this->EE->email->debug = true;
$this->EE->email->mailtype = 'html';
    
//envoi au client
$this->EE->email->from('[email protected]');
$this->EE->email->to("{mail}"); 

$this->EE->email->subject($subject);
$this->EE->email->message($message);
$this->EE->email->Send();
?>
{/exp:channel:entries}

it works if i use :

$this->EE->email->to("[email protected]");

it doesn’t with :

$this->EE->email->to("{mail}");

My variable is well retrieved and i can ‘echo’ it.
Switching php mode between ‘output/input’ doesn’t solve my probleme either.

What version and build are you using? What’s {mail}, a custom channel field?

I think a reference to the ExpressionEngine super object is missing for this to work:

<?php
    // Make a local reference to the ExpressionEngine super object
    $this->EE =& get_instance();
?>

Also, setting PHP to “Output” should parse your {mail} tag before the PHP kicks in.

Thanks for the assist, Nicolas. Since this thread is quite old, closing thread.
