Moodle电子邮件功能不起作用

Question

Hi i want to send an email as soon as record is inserted in moodle database table, following code is not working

if ($recs = $ti_form->get_data()) {
    // Do something with the data, then redirect to a new page
    $lastinsertid = $DB->insert_record('suggestions', $recs);
    $toUser = '[e-mail]';
    $fromUser = 'ICAN';
    $subject = 'New Suggestion Added';
    $messageText = 'New Suggestion Added';
    $sent = email_to_user($toUser, $fromUser, $subject, $messageText);
    //mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

    if($sent) {
      print "Email successfully sent";
    }else{
      print "There was an error sending the mail";
     }

       redirect('suggestions.php');
}

Above code givers error message. What could be the reason? Any help much appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

If you look at the phpdoc header for the email_to_user() function, the first 2 parameters should be user objects rather than strings.

* @param stdClass $user  A {@link $USER} object
* @param stdClass $from A {@link $USER} object

So for the to user

$touser = $DB->get_record('user', array('email' => '[e-mail]');

For the from user you could use the support user

$fromuser = core_user::get_support_user();
