Email order problem

Question

Hi everyone!
I've worked on a shopping cart and I have a small problem.
When an order is made, it doesn't send a notification email. It all seems ok but I don't know why it doesn't work. Here is the code:

<?php
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
require_once 'utf.php';
require_once 'library/config.php';

// if no order id defined in the session
// redirect to main page
if (!isset($_SESSION['orderId'])) {
	header('Location: ' . WEB_ROOT);
	exit;
}

$pageTitle   = 'Checkout Completed Successfully';
require_once 'include/header.php';


// send notification email
if ($shopConfig['sendOrderEmail'] == 'y') {
	$subject = "[New Order] " . $_SESSION['orderId'];
	$email   = $shopConfig['example@gmail.com'];
	$message = "You have a new order. Check the order detail here \n http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . WEB_ROOT . 'admin/order/index.php?view=detail&oid=' . $_SESSION['orderId'] ;
	mail($email, $subject, $message, "From: $email\r\nReturn-path: $email");
}


unset($_SESSION['orderId']);
?>
<p>&nbsp;</p><table width="500" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0">
   <tr> 
      <td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#333333"> <table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
            <tr> 
               <td align="center" bgcolor="#EEEEEE"> <p>&nbsp;</p>
                        <p>Thank you for shopping with us! We will send the purchased 
                            item(s) immediately. To continue shopping please <a href="index.php">click 
                            here</a></p>
                  <p>&nbsp;</p></td>
            </tr>
         </table></td>
   </tr>
</table>
<br>
<br>
<?php
require_once 'include/footer.php';
?>

Can you please tell me how to make it work?
Thank you!

Could you add print_r($shopConfig); at line 16? Especially take a look at this value in line 20 - seems strange to me (even if you type a real email there).

Well, you'll need to think of a way you can get the information by $_SESSION['orderId'] - is it in the database? How do you get the information in admin/order/index.php? Use the same method here.

Yes, but not $result. You can use all those things in the list in $sql in your body, like this:

$message = "You have a new order from $od_shipping_first_name $od_shipping_last_name. Check the order detail here: \n http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . WEB_ROOT . 'admin/order/index.php?view=detail&oid=' . $_SESSION['orderId'];

Or (same thing):

$message = "You have a new order from ".$od_shipping_first_name." ".$od_shipping_last_name.". Check the order detail here: \n http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . WEB_ROOT . 'admin/order/index.php?view=detail&oid=' . $_SESSION['orderId'];

Oh, wow it worked.
After I did the print_r thing, I figured it out where my problem was.
On line 20 I changed the

$email   = $shopConfig['example@gmail.com'];

with

$email   = $shopConfig['email'];

and it worked.
I'm still kind of bummed though, because for know, I only get a notification email about the order, which sends me to the admin panel where the order is.
Is there any way I can make all the information from the order form to be sent on the email?
The thing is, I only need pay per delivery as a payment option, I don't need paypal.
Thanks a lot!

didi00 0 Junior Poster · Answer 2 · 2011-06-12T19:44:03+00:00

Yes, it's from the database.
Well basically in the admin, the order goes like this:

<?php
header ('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
require_once 'utf.php';
if (!defined('WEB_ROOT')) {
	exit;
}

if (!isset($_GET['oid']) || (int)$_GET['oid'] <= 0) {
	header('Location: index.php');
}

$orderId = (int)$_GET['oid'];

// get ordered items
$sql = "SELECT pd_name, pd_price, od_qty
	    FROM tbl_order_item oi, tbl_product p 
		WHERE oi.pd_id = p.pd_id and oi.od_id = $orderId
		ORDER BY od_id ASC";

$result = dbQuery($sql);
$orderedItem = array();
while ($row = dbFetchAssoc($result)) {
	$orderedItem[] = $row;
}


// get order information
$sql = "SELECT od_date, od_last_update, od_status, od_shipping_first_name, od_shipping_last_name, od_shipping_address1, 
               od_shipping_address2, od_shipping_phone, od_shipping_state, od_shipping_city, od_shipping_postal_code, od_shipping_cost, 
			   od_payment_first_name, od_payment_last_name, od_payment_address1, od_payment_address2, od_payment_phone,
			   od_payment_state, od_payment_city , od_payment_postal_code,
			   od_memo
	    FROM tbl_order 
		WHERE od_id = $orderId";

$result = dbQuery($sql);
extract(dbFetchAssoc($result));

$orderStatus = array('New', 'Paid', 'Shipped', 'Completed', 'Cancelled');
$orderOption = '';
foreach ($orderStatus as $status) {
	$orderOption .= "<option value=\"$status\"";
	if ($status == $od_status) {
		$orderOption .= " selected";
	}
	
	$orderOption .= ">$status</option>\r\n";
}

To stick with the method this uses (not sure if I find it a good idea):

// get order information
$sql = "SELECT od_date, od_last_update, od_status, od_shipping_first_name, od_shipping_last_name, od_shipping_address1,
od_shipping_address2, od_shipping_phone, od_shipping_state, od_shipping_city, od_shipping_postal_code, od_shipping_cost,
od_payment_first_name, od_payment_last_name, od_payment_address1, od_payment_address2, od_payment_phone,
od_payment_state, od_payment_city , od_payment_postal_code,
od_memo
FROM tbl_order
WHERE od_id = ".$_SESSION['orderId'];
 
$result = dbQuery($sql);
extract(dbFetchAssoc($result));

Then, you can access all those variables ($od_shipping_first_name, $od_shipping_last_name, etcetera).

So basically, I need to get the information from the database with the code above, and then to use the variables with HTML code, like the code with the admin order?
I don't really know what to add to the $message, something like . $result maybe?
The thing is, for the past couple of days I'm trying to make this to work, but sadly none of my versions for email order form are workable.
I'm sorry, but I'm not that good with php. Sadly.

didi00 0 Junior Poster · Answer 5 · 2011-06-12T21:21:26+00:00

Oh wow. It works! THANK YOU!
Now all I have to do is to figure out why it makes the cyrillic characters kinda strange. And how to make the currency to be on the right side.
This shopping cart killed me.

twiss 155 Veteran Poster · Answer 6 · 2011-06-12T21:27:55+00:00

utf8_encode might help. And how do you get the price? It might be easiest to swap them manually when sending the email.

didi00 0 Junior Poster · Answer 7 · 2011-06-12T21:47:28+00:00

Oh I know that function. I have a file named utf.php which should fix the problem. The file is this:

<?php
 
$link = mysql_connect('examplehost', 'shoppingcart', 'examplepass');
if (!$link) {
    die('Not connected : ' . mysql_error());
}
$db_selected = mysql_select_db('shoppingcart', $link);
if (!$db_selected) {
    die ('Can\'t use ... : '. mysql_error());
}
	mysql_query('SET character_set_results=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET names=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_client=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_connection=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET character_set_results=utf8');
	mysql_query('SET collation_connection=utf8_general_ci');
?>

and I include this thing everywhere, (it works) it just doesn't work here for this particular problem.
The strange thing is, that at first it was giving the characters like ???????? but now it gives them like СЃС† СЃР°С„Р°РґР°СЃРґР° which is strange.

About the price, it shows the price like this: $10, and I want it to be like this: 10$. I just need to find the file where the currency is defined so I could change it.
