Lassie Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I need to email a reciept of purchase in a cart application. I store the product id and qty in a session variable $cart and then use 2 functions to generate the item, qty, price ,value. This works fine for the display on screen, but I cant figure how to include this in an email to the customer. ideally I would like the same information to display in the email. Any ideas how to approach this would be helpful. email $to = "$email"; $subj = "test"; $mess = "<html>\n" ."<head>\n" ."<title>Test Mail</title>\n" ."</head>\n" ."<body>\n" ."This is an html email test<br />\n" ."<p><b>Your order has been processed. Please print this email as your reference</b></p>\n" ."<p>Your purchases were:-</p>\n" [u][b](Need to insert reciept here)[/b][/u] ."</body>\n</html>\n"; $mess = wordwrap($mess,70); $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers); display cart function function display_cart($cart, $change = true, $images = 1) { // display items in shopping cart // optionally allow changes (true or false) // optionally include images (1 - yes, 0 - no) echo '<table border = 0 width = "700" cellspacing = 0 align="center"> <form action = "show_cart.php" method = "post"> <tr><th colspan = '. (4+$images) .' bgcolor="#cccccc">Item</th> <th bgcolor="#cccccc">Price</th><th bgcolor="#cccccc">Quantity</th> <th bgcolor="#cccccc">Total</th></tr>'; //display each item as a table row foreach ($cart as $product_id => $qty) { $book = get_book_details($product_id); echo '<tr>'; if($images ==true) { echo '<td align = left>'; if (file_exists('images/$pix')) { /* display picture */ echo "<td><a href='./images/{$book['pix']}' border='0'> <img src= './images/{$book['pix']}' border='0' width='100' height='80'></a></td>\n"; } else echo ' '; echo '</td>'; } echo '<td colspan= "3" align = "right">'; echo '<a href = "show_book.php?product_id='.$product_id.'">'.$book['title'].'</a> by '.$book['author']; echo '</td><td align = "center">£'.number_format($book['price'], 2); echo '</td><td align = "center">'; // if we allow changes, quantities are in text boxes if ($change == true) echo "<input type = 'text' name = \"$product_id\" value = \"$qty\" size = 3>"; else echo $qty; echo '</td><td align = "center">£'.number_format($book['price']*$qty,2)."</td></tr>\n"; } // display total row echo "<tr> <th colspan = ".

Please print this email as your reference</b></p>\n" ."<p>Your purchases were:-</p>\n" your variables go here.. ."</body>\n</html>\n"; Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46724-how-to-approach-problem-with-email/#findComment-227641 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lassie Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 Thanks for coming back. Do you mean insert the function eg dispay_cart($_SESSION['cart'] or the variables returned from calling this as in '.$book['title'].'by '.$book['author']?

Lassie Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I have modified the email and it now works to a limited degree. What it does not do is show multiples, only the last purchase. Does my loop need to be in the email body? Any help appreciated. foreach ($cart as $product_id => $qty) { $book = get_book_details($product_id); } extract($book); $to = "$email"; $subj = "test"; $mess = "<html>\n" ."<head>\n" ."<title>Test Mail</title>\n" ."</head>\n" ."<body>\n" ."This is an html email test<br />\n" ."<p><b>Your order has been processed. Please print this email as your reference</b></p>\n" ."<p>Your purchases were:-$title . by . $author </p>\n" ."</body>\n</html>\n"; $mess = wordwrap($mess,70); $headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n"; $headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n"; mail($to,$subj,$mess,$headers); Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/46724-how-to-approach-problem-with-email/#findComment-227754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
