Custom email at checkout.

jsrpool Total Posts: 5 Joined: 2008-06-23 Ignore user	I am trying to send an email to another person other than the customer at checkout. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to splice in a bit of custom php in the success.phtml file. I tried added this at the very end of the file: `<?php mail("mysite.com <orders@mysite.com>", "Order Details: Order ID", "Flavor: $giftFlavor\n\nStack Type: $stackType", "From: Mysite Back-end<noreply@mysite.com>\r\nX-Mailer: PHP 4.x"); ?>` Whenever I add this file I am directed to the following page instead of success. The code should work as I have tested alone with success. https://mysite.com/report/?id=1006692955257&s;=default If this is a php page I don’t understand why this wouldn’t work. How can I go about making this custom php insert work at customer checkout?

I would take a look at whatever the Magento method of throwing an e-mail and add it to the controller. $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template'); $mailTemplate->addBcc($bcc); $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area'=>'frontend', 'store'=>$this->getStoreId())) ->sendTransactional( 'sales_email/order/template', 'sales_email/order_comment/identity', $this->getCustomerEmail(), $customerName, array( 'order' => $this, 'billing' => $this->getBillingAddress(), 'payment_html' => $paymentBlock->toHtml(), 'items_html' => $itemsBlock->toHtml(), ) ); You can use something like that, it is pulled out of Order.php in Sales/Model. That should get you started. -Adam
