EEmail class help
Development and Programming
I’m experiencing a strange issue with the EEmail class. I’ve developed the following function within the structure of a plugin. All appears to go well until
if ($PREFS->ini('auto_convert_high_ascii') == 'y'){
if(!$email->message($REGX->entities_to_ascii($email_msg))){echo"did not convert message";}
} else{
if(! $email->message($email_msg) ){echo"did not get message";}
}The above always triggers “Did not get message” - I only have it separated out from the REGX because the detail in the docs for this function were only to trigger it if the PREFS statement were true.
function Send_quiz_results()
{
global $DB, $SESS,$PREFS, $REGX;
$recipient="[email protected]";
$from = $SESS->userdata['email'];
$message ='';
$subject ='Submission: Quiz by '.$SESS->userdata['screen_name'];
$user = $SESS->userdata['member_id'];
$results =$DB->query('SELECT metric, SUM(points) totalPoints FROM table WHERE userID = '.$user.' AND points != 0 GROUP BY metric HAVING totalPoints > 0 ORDER BY totalPoints DESC');
foreach ($results->result as $row){
$message.=$row['metric'] .': '.$row['totalPoints'].' points'."\n";
}
$greet="Dear example,\\n\\n".$SESS->userdata['screen_name'].' would like you to see his/her results from the quiz at example.com. Here are the results:';
$email_msg=$greet.$message;
if ( ! class_exists('EEmail'))
{
require PATH_CORE.'core.email'.EXT;
}
$email = new EEmail;
$email->wordwrap = true;
$email->mailtype = 'text';
$email->from($from);
$email->to($recipient);
$email->subject($subject);
if ($PREFS->ini('auto_convert_high_ascii') == 'y'){
if(!$email->message($REGX->entities_to_ascii($email_msg))){echo"did not convert message";}
} else{
if(! $email->message($email_msg) ){echo"did not get message";}
}
if ( ! $email->Send())
{
return $DSP->error_message($LANG->line('error_sending_email'), 0);
} else{
echo "done";
}
}Furthermore, it echos “done” - so it claims to be sending the email - and I haven’t seen one yet.
Thanks for any help or guidance as to what could be going wrong.

caroline:
couple things at a quick glance:
EEMail::message() isn’t going to return boolean, so you can probably just get by with:
$email_msg = ($PREFS->ini('auto_convert_high_ascii' == 'y')) ? $REGX->entities_to_ascii($email_msg) : $email_msg;
$email->message($email_msg);Then the other thing that catches my eye is that the ‘send’ method is not:
EEMail::Send();but
EEMail::send();So I’d try to get the casing on the method fixed up. Then, probably the first thing I”d try is:
var_dump($email->send()); exit;At the end of your script. If it returns FALSE, I’d suggest trying other email auth methods, smtp, next to see if they fail as well.
Hope that helps.
