This example shows how to email the current page as PDF.
Client before:
First, we create a PDF file. Then, we make a dialog appear on the web page. With this dialog, the user can specify the filename, and the email address to which the PDF file should be sent.
ajax.addPDF( 'pdf', {}, function() {
return ctrl.dialog( {
title: 'Email this page',
fields: [{
name: 'email',
value: 'email@address.com'
},
{
name: 'filename',
value: 'results.pdf'
}]
});
});
return false;
Server:
In the Server event, we create a temporary PDF file.
Next, we create a $mail array. The email parameters are placed into this array.
You can modify the email subject - $mail["subject"], and the email body (message) - $mail["body"].
After the email is sent, the result is returned to the "Client after":
•$result "success" = true - everything is fine, the message is sent.
•$result "success" = false - the message is not sent. In this case, an error message defined in the $result variable appears.
$path = $button->saveTempFile( $params["pdf"] );
$mail = array();
$mail["to"] = $params["email"];
$mail["subject"] = "PHPRunner PDF and Email demo";
$mail["body"] = "Check the results";
$attachment = array(
"path" => $path,
"name" => $params["filename"]
);
$mail["attachments"] = array( $attachment );
$ret = runner_mail( $mail );
if( $ret["mailed"] )
{
$result["success"] = true;
}
else
{
$result["message"] = $ret["message"];
$result["success"] = false;
}
Client after:
The user gets a notification with the result.
if( result.success ) {
ctrl.setMessage("sent ok");
} else {
ctrl.setMessage("error sending " + result.message );
}
