MVS tep_mail() issue

[al3x]

I have traced a problem with my installation to an issue with the tep_mail() function.

 

Basically, in a couple of places tep_mail is called like this:

 

if (tep_mail ($the_name, $the_email, EMAIL_TEXT_ORDER_NUMBER . ' ' . $oID, $email . '<br>', STORE_NAME, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS) ) $vendor_order_sent = 'yes';

 

I'm not an expert but am I right in thinking that this is expecting tep_mail to return a non-null value?

 

i.e IF tep_mail(...) then $vendor_order_sent = 'yes';

 

The problem is that tep_mail is running and sending the email just fine, however it is returning nothing and therefore $vendor_order_sent is never set to 'yes'.

 

Any suggestions gratefully received!

 

thanks,

That's actually a but in the tep_mail() function. It returns false if SEND_EMAILS is false, otherwise it returns nothing. This can be fixed by changing the last line to:

    return $message->send($to_name, $to_email_address, $from_email_name, $from_email_address, $email_subject);

I haven't tested this, so please test before relying on it.

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a try!

 

As far as I know I am running the standard version of tep_mail() so I can't see how MVS would ever have worked with it like that?

 

thanks,
