Emailing a Receipt ... Not Doing It

Emailing a Receipt ... Not Doing It

Using PowerStore 2, Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac, with Universal Mail installed.

Checkout process is working fine. Had a bit of an issue with it but it's working fine now.

However, it's not emailing receipts. Was thinking it was the SMTP Mail Server I've told it to use (pop.buywineonline.com.au), but it sends off a Lost Password without any issues (with or without the SMTP server set) so I'm assuming the issue isn't that.

From the confirm page (confirm.php), lines 841 to 852 are as follows ...

<?php
if ((isset($_POST["Submit_order"]))) {
//WA Universal Email object="mail"
//Send Loop Once Per Entry
$RecipientEmail = "".((isset($_POST["email"]))?$_POST["email"]:"") ."";include("WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_confirm_1.php");

//Send Mail All Entries
if (""!="") {
header("Location: ");
}
}
?>

... the WAUE_confirm_1.php page uses the receipt.php page (in the Email_Templates directory) to build the body of the page. The WAUE_confirm_1.php page is as follows ...

<?php
$MailAttachments = "";
$MailBCC = "";
$MailCC = "";
$MailTo = "";
$MailBodyFormat = "";
$MailBody = "";
$MailImportance = "";
$MailFrom = "Buy Wine Online|WA|".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_FROM) ."";
$MailSubject = "".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_Subject) ."";
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = "";

//Global Variables

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_Definition("".($WAGLOBAL_Email_Server) ."","25","","","","");

if ($RecipientEmail) {
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddRecipient($WA_MailObject,$RecipientEmail);
}
else {
//To Entries
}

//Attachment Entries

//BCC Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddBCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_BCC) ."");

//CC Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_CC) ."");

//Body Format
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_BodyFormat($WA_MailObject,2);

//Set Importance
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_SetImportance($WA_MailObject,"3");

//Start Mail Body
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";

ob_start();
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();

$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
//End Mail Body

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_SendMail($WA_MailObject,$MailAttachments,$MailBCC,$MailCC,$MailTo,$MailImportance,$MailFrom,$MailSubject,$MailBody);

$WA_MailObject = null;
?>

... that's all "out of the box", except for the necessary alterations to replace PayPal with our local (Australian) Payment Gateway (eWay).

Any thoughts on why it won't email a receipt?

The trigger to send the email is set to "Button: Submit_order pressed" and comes after the Store Cart Details in Db section, which, when complete, does the redirection to checkout_success.php. That's just a thought, but once again, the "out of the box" version does the same thing and in that order.

Oops / Blank Email

Overlooked that. Thanks for pointing that out.

I'm one step forward now, and although I got it to the point where it's generating an email it's not decking it out with any content for some reason.

The confirm page (confirm.php) calls on WA_Universal_Email/WAUE_confirm_1.php to generate the email, which in turn calls on the receipt.php file from the Email_Templates folder to lay it out.

If I open the confirm.php, open Universal Email 1 (mail) from the Server Behaviours, select the Body tab, choose DW Edit (HTML), within the body tag of my email is the following code ...

<?php
ob_start();
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();
?>

Once again it's "out of the box", but it doesn't seem to be decking out my email with content. Thoughts on why? I've checked that all files have been uploaded.

For the record the WAUE_confirm_1.php page looks like this ...

<?php
$MailAttachments = "";
$MailBCC = "";
$MailCC = "";
$MailTo = "";
$MailBodyFormat = "";
$MailBody = "";
$MailImportance = "";
$MailFrom = "".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_FROM) ."";
$MailSubject = "".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_Subject) ."";
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = "";

//Global Variables

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_Definition("".($WAGLOBAL_Email_Server) ."","25","","","","");

if ($RecipientEmail) {
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddRecipient($WA_MailObject,$RecipientEmail);
}
else {
//To Entries
}

//Attachment Entries

//BCC Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddBCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_BCC) ."");

//CC Entries
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_AddCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_CC) ."");

//Body Format
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_BodyFormat($WA_MailObject,2);

//Set Importance
$WA_MailObject = WAUE_SetImportance($WA_MailObject,"3");

//Start Mail Body
$MailBody = $MailBody . "";
ob_start();
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();
$MailBody = $MailBody . "<multipartbreak><html><head></head><body>\r\n";

ob_start();
require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();

$MailBody = $MailBody . "\r\n";
$MailBody = $MailBody . "</body></html>";
//End Mail Body

$WA_MailObject = WAUE_SendMail($WA_MailObject,$MailAttachments,$MailBCC,$MailCC,$MailTo,$MailImportance,$MailFrom,$MailSubject,$MailBody);

$WA_MailObject = null;
?>

The code in your copy of the WAUE_confirm_1.phpoage is not the same as an out of the box version. the code should be:

php:
<?php

  $MailAttachments 
"";
  
$MailBCC         "";
  
$MailCC          "";
  
$MailTo          "";
  
$MailBodyFormat  "";
  
$MailBody        "";
  
$MailImportance  "";
  
$MailFrom        "".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_FROM)  ."";
  
$MailSubject     "".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_Subject)  ."";
  
$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] = "";

  
//Global Variables

  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_Definition("".($WAGLOBAL_Email_Server)  ."","25","","","","");

  if (
$RecipientEmail)     {
    
$WA_MailObject WAUE_AddRecipient($WA_MailObject,$RecipientEmail);
  }
  else      {
    
//To Entries
  
}

  
//Attachment Entries

  //BCC Entries
  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_AddBCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_BCC)  ."");

  
//CC Entries
  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_AddCC($WA_MailObject,"".($WAGLOBAL_Receipt_Email_CC)  ."");

  
//Body Format
  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_BodyFormat($WA_MailObject,2);

  
//Set Importance
  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_SetImportance($WA_MailObject,"3");

  
//Start Mail Body

$MailBody $MailBody "";

ob_start();
require_once(
dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents ob_get_clean();

$MailBody $MailBody .  ($contents);
$MailBody $MailBody "";
  
//End Mail Body

  
$WA_MailObject WAUE_SendMail($WA_MailObject,$MailAttachments,$MailBCC,$MailCC,$MailTo,$MailImportance,$MailFrom,$MailSubject,$MailBody);
  
  
$WA_MailObject null;
?>





the difference in your code is that there are two instances of:

php:
ob_start();

require_once(dirname(__FILE__) . ("/Email_Templates/receipt.php"));
$contents = ob_get_clean();




and both are missing:

php:
$MailBody = $MailBody .  ($contents);
