Is it possible to send an automatic email to a customer (sales website) containing a line a text in the database or text file, which is then removed after sent?

each line must be different from the last

yeah its possible

Well ended up buying a software to do it with. Can't get it working and the author isn't giving me support until the 7th of july which is kinda lame

Anyone will to take a look at it for me and let me know what im doing wrong?

Here is the product:

Problem is, image files aren't moving to the used folder after being used, it also doesn't send it through email. Im using localhost atm for testing. so i'm not sure if its permission based

Automatic email when? What event are they doing that triggers an email being sent?

You would just use a mail() function to send an email.


Break it down into steps and code each step.

1. Customer does specific event
2. query the DB for the string from DB you want to send.
3. save the string into a variable
4. use PHP mail() variable to mail the variable
5. remove the line from the DB

It's really not that hard to do depending on when you want the email to be sent. If it's on a form submit you just use an isset().

If you let me know more details I can try to code it up for you. However, it will not be in WP plugin form as I don't use WP.

Well its a sales website. So i guess the mail is sent after the paypal payment is completed.

this is php that is so ez to do ;o depends on the implementation on how to make it scale through multiple servers tho

Well i know you guys prob don't like spoon feeding people. But if you want to look at the script i have already to get a better idea of what i mean, i can pm it or post it here.

I know that after a paypal purchase it automatically sends a email with the order details to the purchasing email. So i guess i can just add the code to that email depending on what product they buy right?

Post the script.

I'm not familiar with the paypal API but can you plug into their email they send out as confirmation?

with the paypal, u can send them to a url, instead of a email if ur looking for something like that

Well, its a script with lots of parts really...

If you would like me to just upload the entire script somewhere for you to look at?

because the scripts are quite long .-.
