send an email on record update through subdomain

I have a form a user fills out, upon submit it inputs a record to a mySQL db and sends a summary to the user. The site uses an outdated version of PHP (5.1) and this scheme was created with an older version of Universal Email 5 years ago, my new Universal Email does not work with this old version on the site. I have a subdomain for this site that has a current version of PHP running and my new UE works just fine on this site. I want to send an email with the latest record info out once a new record is created on the main domain, using the subdomain to do it. Attempting to create a seperate email using the code from the old UE is way too much brain damage. Is there a way to trigger an email from the subdomain once a new record is added to the db? I can access the db from both the domain and subdomain sites. Thank you in advance - Tom

You could hand code a curl() call to execute code on another domain. It would require some hand coding, but wouldn't be too difficult. This is something I could help with in a premier support ticket if you aren't comfortable writing php code.

One thing I wondered about is mySQL triggers, isn't there a way to notify a domain (or subdomain) that a record has been created on a db that domain (or subdomain) has access to?

Just thinking out loud, I may be off base.

Maybe... I've never done that. You could google it and see. I know you can do things in the database based on triggers, but I've never initiated an email.

OK, maybe I'm making this more complex than it needs to be. My main issue it that I want to send two differently formatted emails using the old version of UE, one to the user and one to our sales team. First of all can this be done? The old email template is a nightmare of code defining every line and comma but I have no way to edit it except by hand (I used to be able to edit the body in the older version and that was discontinued I assume because now you can send an email as an html file). If I were to create another email template by hand how would I add that to my current (old) code so both were sent to the proper place? I have attached the old code blocks as a reference.

The new version of universal email should work on the old php version your site runs. You should be able to open the old server behavior with the new one and it would update the old code to add it to a .php page.

You can send two emails from the same page. Just make sure the first one doesn't have a redirect specified or it won't have a chance to send the second.
