sending 2 notifications (email)

moonbrat

ok, I understand the mail() function after it was explained to me and I read upon the tutorials, but how do you send 2 notifications e.g. 1 to admin and the other to a new user?

What I mean is something like:

For alerting admin of a new user:

if($settings['notify'] == 1) {
$message="Hello $settings[admin_name]

You have a new affiliate waiting to be approved. To approve or deny the affiliation, please log into your Affinity Affiliation System at: $settings[site_url]

Affiliate Details:

Name: $username
E-mail: $email
URL: $siteurl
Title: $sitetitle
Description: $des

Regards,
Affinity.

";
$headers = "From: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
mail($settings['admin_email'],'New Affiliate Pending Approval',$message,$headers);

For sending a new user their username and password:

if($settings['notify_pw'] == 1) {
$message="Hello $username

This email was sent to you because you signed up to be an affiliate with $settings[site_name]. Your chosen username and password are provided below, please do not lose this email as you will need both your name and password to update your information at: $settings[site_url]

Affiliate Details:

Name: $username
Password: $pw

Regards,
$settings[admin_name].

";
$headers = "From: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
mail($settings['admin_email'],'$settings[site_name] Affiliation',$message,$headers);

I'd like these 2 notification coding to be put into my coding upon insert of a new user into my db, but I'm not sure how to do it.

I tried the elseif if and else arguments, but it ends up only sending an email to admin, ignoring the code asking to send an email to the new user too.

Any ideas?

both emails will be sent as long as both conditions return TRUE, that is to say if $settings['notify'] == 1 AND $settings['notify_pw'] == 1 (assuming that you are not [man]exit[/man]ing out of the script somewhere)

Hmn, well in my settings I have it set for ==1 (meaning YES, send notification, ==0 means NO) so I have them both set to ==1.

This is my complete notify script AFTER insert and BEFORE the thankyou page code.


if($settings['notify'] == 1) {
$message="Hello $settings[admin_name]

$headers = "From: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
mail($settings['admin_email'],'New Affiliate Pending Approval',$message,$headers);
}
    elseif($settings['notify_pw'] == 1) {
$message="Hello $username

";
$headers = "From: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: $settings[admin_name] <$settings[admin_email]>\n";
mail($settings['admin_name'],$settings['admin_email'],'$settings[site_name] Affiliation',$message,$headers); 

}else{
    	problem('Could not send email.');
}

I've got the feeling I'm missing something for it to stop ignoring the second part of the code (the send to user).
