Simple PM function... could you help?

[Dekudude]

Hi there!

I'm having a slight problem... because I have no idea how to do what I want to do.

Simply put, I'd like to have a simple function like this:

function sendPM ($to, $from, $subject, $message)

Is this possible? It doesn't need to have a BCC, etc, field... I'd just like to have the above parameters, but I don't know how to go about making a function like that. ^_^;; Could anyone write a quick one up for me, or at least give me a quick idea as to how?

You're trying to remove BBC from PM's?

If you can tell us what you're trying to do, it may help us answer more accurately.

If you're making a custom script that needs to send PM, you can take a look at function MessagePost() inside Sources/PersonalMessage.php to see how it works.

I simply want a function that sends a personal message via specified parameters... if that makes sense. I'd like it to send $message to $user, from $from. Am I making sense? The function example I showed earlier is an example of what I'd like it to look like... if that's possible.

Look at SMF functions.

Its almost exactly the same. Apart from BCC field.

Hmm, this looks good, except: How do the arrays work? I need a variable to attach the values to, right?

EG:

$to[1]['']

How would I do that?

[Spaceman-Spiff]

The array part should be optional. It means you can send PMs to multiple or single users IDs.

Example for array:

$to = array(1, 5, 7, 90);

Hmmm.....  I tried it out, but it says the function doesn't exist. Which file should I include? I'm including SSI.php right now, but that isn't it.

[Spaceman-Spiff]

include both SSI.php and Sources/Subs-Post.php

Okay, I got THAT working... but now I have another problem:

$submitter = $_GET['submitter'];
$submitter = validText($submitter); // Changes value to HTML Entities to prevent injection.
$submitter = array('', $submitter);

$reason = validText($reason);

$userID = $context['user']['id'];
$userName = $context['user']['name'];
$userUsername = $context['user']['username'];
$reasonSender = array($userID, $userName, $userUsername);



sendpm($submitter,'Your sheet, '.$title.', was not accepted for the following reason...',$reason,false,$reasonSender);


I get all SORTS of errors. What's wrong? O_O

[metallica48423]

what errors are you getting?  I don't believe you can use that method of string concatenation in pretty much anything but an echo.

try:

sendpm($submitter, "Your sheet, $title, was not accepted for the following reason...", $reason, 0, $reasonSender);

O_O; That's the error I receive.

Forgive my double posting, but I have yet another problem, though I fixed the error messages.

Code Select Expand


<?php

$submitter = $_GET['submitter'];
$submitter = validText($submitter); //validText() converts string to html_entities, and trims it.
$submitter = array(
'to' => array($submitter),
'bcc' => array()
);
$reason = $_GET['reason'];
$reason = validText($reason);

if (trim($reason) != "")
{
sendpm($submitter, "Your sheet, $title, was not accepted for the following reason...", $reason);
}


?>


This ALMOST works. The problem, though, is rather awkward: It sends the same PM twice, the second being from no one... forcing the name "guest".
