Create Mailfunction where ?
A lot of members ask where we can put the function mailsend
So, there are two best practice
Either you can put this function in components/Controller.php and call it in an controller/action as
$this->mailsend($to,$from,$subject,$message);OR
if you are use a module that its controllers not extend the components/Controller.php you can make the mailsend as a static function
public static function mailsend($to,$from,$subject,$message) ...and call it as Controller::mailsend($to,$from,$subject,$message);
Best of all:
Make a globally class with static function in combonents like it described in this wiki
http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/688/shortcut-usefull-access-roles-methods-rbac
and call the function like this
SYii::mailsend($to,$from,$subject,$message); ..anywhere in controllers/extensions/modules/combonents/models/views
IMPORTANT: Add $mail->ClearAddresses();
If you use the function in a loop, the addresses will accumulate one over another. The proper function is:
public function mailsend($to,$from,$subject,$message){ $mail=Yii::app()->Smtpmail; $mail->SetFrom($from, 'From NAme'); $mail->Subject = $subject; $mail->MsgHTML($message); $mail->AddAddress($to, ""); if(!$mail->Send()) { echo "Mailer Error: " . $mail->ErrorInfo; }else { echo "Message sent!"; } $mail->ClearAddresses(); //clear addresses for next email sending }how to hide the sender email address?
HI,
