The send_mail function is called by a webpage as a result of a successful transaction requiring confirmation, such as registration to begin using the system.
The $requesting_page variable tells the function which email to send, and up to six arguments are accepted for customizing the contents of the email:
function send_email ($requesting_page, $arg1, $arg2, $arg3, $arg4, $arg5, $arg6) {
|
The variables for primary contact $sender , communications contact $emp_comm_email , and URL of host website $domain2 must be declared within the function:
$sender='kdez@mit.edu'; $emp_comm_email='nadamsx@mit.edu'; $domain2='seagrant.mit.edu'; |
//register
if ($requesting_page=='register.php') {
mail ("$arg1", "MIT Sea Grant Online Proposal Submission Registration",
