Mail::send to array or batch send

[connemb]

I know prestashop uses swift mailer for their e-mails. We have a reminder script that runs every week and generates an array of e-mail addresses. The array is a normal array that looks like this

Array
0 => string '[email protected]'
1 => string '[email protected]'
2 => string '[email protected]'

We are trying to figure out how to create the mailer to use our reminder template to send to each e-mail address. We have already tried inserting the mail:send function into a foreach loop, but apparently it doesn't like this and kicks a Fatal Error: Using $this when not in object context. Any ideas on how to bulk send e-mails from prestashop?

require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../config/config.inc.php');
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'../../../init.php');


$emails = Db::getInstance()->executeS('SELECT email FROM '._DB_PREFIX_.'wnewsletter WHERE active = \'0\''); 

$emailArray = array();
foreach ($emails as $email)
{
	foreach ($email as $emails)
	{
		$emailArray[] = $emails;	
	}
}

foreach ($emailArray as $emailSend)
{
	Mail::Send('1','newsletter_remin',Mail::l('Email Reminder','1'),array(),$emailSend,null,null,null,null,null,dirname(__FILE__).'/mails/',false,'1');	
}

Is this for older Prestashop version ?

If you are use PS v.1.4.x or Ps v.1.5, better create and use controller file.

 

look into your script above, where this file placed ?
If your file is placed like this : /root/modules/modulename/your_file.php

The required/included files should be written like this

include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../config/config.inc.php');
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/../../init.php');

And why you are creating a new array for emails data ?
You can use the result from your previous DB query, var $emails to get email data

/* REMEMBER in Prestashop < v.1.4 the default params for static public function Send() are:
 * $toName = NULL
 * $from = NULL
 * $fromName = NULL
 * $fileAttachment = NULL
 * $modeSMTP = NULL
 * $templatePath = _PS_MAIL_DIR_
 * AND param $templateVars is an array for email content
 */

foreach ($emails as $row)
   Mail::Send($id_lang, $template, $subject, $templateVars, $row['email'], $toName, $from, $fromName, $fileAttachment, $modeSMTP, $templatePath);

I do not know why I created a new array, it was a long day haha thanks for pointing that out! I tried the code above and it seemed to work. I don't know how I overlooked this, I must of just been putting the Mail Send function into an area it didn't like.

 

Thanks

Good afternoon, I am developing a module in prestashop where I send emails to my clients with attachments, but I can not attach more than one file to an array.pdf file. I am exposing my doubts here because I noticed that they are also having problems with the array in the function Mail :: Send. And someone can give me some tip thanks.

Thanks.

 

Code:

 

if(!isset($_FILES) or !($_FILES > 0))

{

$this->_error .= $this->displayError($this->l('Invalid file'));

}

else {

for($i=0; $i < count($_FILES['FILE']['name']); $i++)

{

$explode = explode('.', $_FILES['FILE']['name'][$i]);

$ext = end($explode);

if(!in_array($ext, array('pdf','doc', 'docx', 'rar', 'zip')) )

{

$this->_error .= $this->displayError($this->l('Invalid file extension'));

} else {

$ftype[] = $_FILES['FILE']['type'][$i];

$fname[] = $_FILES['FILE']['name'][$i];

$ftmp[] = $_FILES['FILE']['tmp_name'][$i];

$fsize[] = $_FILES['FILE']['size'][$i];

}

}

}

$files = $fname;

for($x=0;$x<count($files);$x++)

{

$tmpFilePath[$x] = $ftmp[$x];

$newFilePath[$x] = dirname(__FILE__ ).'/import/' . $files[$x];

move_uploaded_file($tmpFilePath[$x], $newFilePath[$x]);

$file = fopen($newFilePath[$x],"r");

$data = fread($file,$fsize[$x]);

fclose($file);

$data = $data;

}

$file_attachment = array('content' => $data, 'mime' => 'application/pdf', 'name' => $files);

$res = Mail::Send(

$this->context->language->id, 'recibos',

$subject, array('{message}' => $msg_html, $template_vars = false,),

$to, $to_name, $from, $from_name,

$file_attachment,

null,

$this->local_path.'mails/', null, null, $bcc, null

);
