Hi

 

I have added in a email script so that after the data is stored in the mysql database, a email is sent out to the customer, it all works perfect apart from one little bit hopefully

 

I can't seem to get the $id number from the database to display within the email, it just returns Repair ID:

 

the coding I have is below

if($stmt)

$header = "From: enquiries@it-doneright.co.uk\n"
. "Reply-To: enquiries@it-doneright.co.uk\n";
$subject = "Booked Repair Information";
$email_to = "$customer_email";
$message = "Below is your repair details to track the repair status\n\n"
. "Your Name: $customer_name\n"
. "Your Email: $customer_email\n"
. "Your Phone Number: $customer_phone\n"
. "PC/Laptop Make: $computer_make\n"
. "PC/Laptop Model: $computer_model\n"
. "Assigned to Technician: $technician\n"
. "Current Repair Status: $status\n"
. "Expected Start Date: $exstdate\n"
. "Expected Start Time: $exstime\n"
. "Expected Repair Date: $exrdate\n"
. "Expected Repair Time: $exrtime\n"
. "Dropoff or Pickup: $deltype\n"
. "Comments: $comments\n"
. "Repair Cost: $cost\n\n"
. "Repair ID: $id\n\n"
. "<a href='http://www.it-doneright.co.uk/track-my-repair.php'>Track your repair</a>";
mail($email_to, $subject ,$message ,$header ) ;

I guess I need to add $_GET or $_POST somewhere before the email part to retrieve the $id and display in the email, is that right?

Hi Barand

 

Thank you for the reply

 

Yeah the ID is unique, below is the whole coding I have

Sorry to post the whole code but thought would all be important and related

Your code is sending the email for when a new record has been inserted into the database,  at this point the $id variable is not defined. It is only defined if you are performing the edit action.

 

I assume the id column in your repairs table is set to auto increment? It is this id value you want to display in your email, in that case you will need to use mysqli insert id after the query has inserted the new to get the (auto increment) id value

Hi Barand

 

I thought about using the mysqli_insert_id and tried to add it to the php email content but didn't display, I will try it again and try and work it out

 

Sorry there is just one ID column in the repairs table, sorry was my fault not being clear, it is just called id in the repairs table and is auto_inc
