Help on making getting mail() or phpmailer to work on a module

[iamcorbito]

Hi,

Im new to making modules for whmcs so i am having a bit of a hard time getting things to work.

 

Problem:

Im having issues sending mails to clients through mail() function when the inputs are parsed from a txt file.

 

$file = file( BSC_ROOT . "/site.txt");

foreach( $file as $line ) {

$parsedLine = explode(",", $line);

mail( $parsedLine[1] ,"My Subject", $parsedLine[0]); -> this fails to send

}

 

mail('myemail@gmail.com',"My Subjec","THIS IS A TEST"); -> this works

 

I am still unsure how to setup or use the phpmailer so i ended up using mail() instead.

can you do a var_dump of the $parsedLine before sending the email?

Yes, i am able to get the values just fine. here is the result of that var_dump

array(2) { [0]=> string(19) "http://ianfette.org" [1]=> string(24) "reyesmarkdaryl@gmail.com" }

Why not use the API function SendEmail ? http://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/sendemail/ . Though if you are in a function without client vars given, you will need to search first using getclients - http://developers.whmcs.com/api-reference/getclients/ .

 

Just set the the custommessage and customsubject to what you need and the ID to the client id found in getclients.

 

As for parsing the file, you'll need to double check the parsed information is correct. Also, depending on the size of the file using a while might be better such as :

 

$filename = "test.txt";

$source_file = fopen( $filename, "r" ) or die("Couldn't open $filename");

while (!feof($source_file)) {

$buffer = fread($source_file, 4096); // use a buffer of 4KB

$buffer = str_replace($old,$new,$buffer);

///

}
