Mannually set up {var} for email template

Hey😀
again it's me with a simple/easy question😛

i would like to create a form be just to use the sendmail method include in the component.
So no need to display fields.

I got an email template looks like

Heading
blabalabla

your name {name}
your username {user}
... blabla...

i would like to send through this form informations taken form the database.
and replace {name} by a $name and so on.

So how can i do that with out any form template just using php ?
and another question how can i send an email without any "submit button" ?

thanks😉

Nico
PS: maybe it would be helpfull a litte FAQ section with all my newbies question, i think it would help many users😉

Hi picsoung,

When are these emails going to be sent if there is no submit button??

Bob

they will be send after doing some stuff in the database.

in fact my "form" do that :
-Update a record in the database depending on an id passed by URL (myform&id= " ")
-redirection to another page

So i wan to send a email between the two steps.
With all the informations linked to the "id" passed by URL
Then redirect to another page.

So it's a kind of "fake form"😛

see the point ?

Hi picsoung,

Yes you can do that without any template. Just copy over the code that ChronoForms uses into your OnSubmit code and modify it to do what you want.

Bob

i dont really follow your idea..face-meh-blank

can you be more explicit please ?🙂

thanks😉

Hi Picsoung,

Sorry - I meant to write - without any 'template' (now corrected).
