OnSubmission Email

[SiburNY]

I had problem sending auto notification when someone submits a form. But then I found this code:

PHP Code:

if ($passes_captcha && !empty($next_page) && !$is_deleting_file)
  {
    // if the user wasn't putting through a test submission or initializing the form, we can send safely
    // send emails at this juncture, but ONLY if it was just finalized OR if the send_emails parameter
    // allows for it
    if ($form_id != "test" && $submission_id != "test" && !isset($_SESSION[$namespace]["form_tools_initialize_form"])
      && !isset($form_data["form_tools_ignore_submission"]))
    {
      // send any emails attached to the on_submission trigger
      if (isset($params["send_emails"]) && $params["send_emails"] === true)
          ft_send_emails("on_submission", $form_id, $submission_id);
      else if ($is_finalized == "yes" && (!isset($params["send_emails"]) || $params["send_emails"] !== false))
        ft_send_emails("on_submission", $form_id, $submission_id);
    }

    header("location: $next_page");
    exit;
  } 


Does it mean that I can only receive emails when I have CAPTCHA and $next_page specified?

Hi SibuNY,

Yes, there needs to be a "next_page" param specified, but no, there doesn't have to be a captcha ($passes_captcha defaults to true).

Do you have a situation where you don't want to define a $next_page?

Sorry for long delay

For some reason, notification email didn't work when I specified $next_page parameter. So the solution was not to specify it, and then use header("Location: thankyou.php") to redirect to a thank you page.

I'll try to find some time and play around to see why it wouldn't work.
