addon module client area output function is looping mail();

[leemason]

im working on a script which uses the clientarea output function for addon modules.

 

accessed by: /index.php?m=modulename

 

this script is supoosed to send an email when that url is accessed.

 

which is working fine, i am recieving the emails.

 

the problem is it is sending the email every minute!!!! even when the url is only accessed once???

 

im not sure how the output of this proccessed by whmcs so i dont know if it loops through multiple time or not.

 

this is my function:

 

function prefix_clientarea($vars) {

   //send email then display page
   prefix_send_notification($vars);

	//return the vars for setting up the clientarea page
   return array(
       'pagetitle' => $array['LANG']['title'],
       'breadcrumb' => array('index.php?m=prefix'=>$array['LANG']['title']),
       'templatefile' => 'tplfile',
       'requirelogin' => false, # or true
       'vars' => array(
           'vars' => $vars
      ),
   );

}

 

should i be doing something different?

 

 

the send_notification function just does a mail(); with the vars
