Well, In admin panel I'm going to create a custom Email Template. For example... 1) Registration Confirmation 2) Forgot Password etc...
Now let's talk about Registration Confirmation.
After successfully register I'm (admin) sending a confirmation email which I want to edit from admin panel. So my confirmation text is look like this which I save it as .tpt file :
Confirmation text with php code:
<p>Hello $fname $lname, Thanks for your registration in our site Following is your login info.<p/>
<p>Username : <strong>$email</strong> <br/> Password : <strong>$password</strong> </p> <br/> Please click on the link to active your acccount. <a
href='www.//mysite.com/activeAccount.php?code=$key&gonona=$userid'>Active My Account</a> </p>
<p>Thank You.<br/>Support Team <br/>www.//mysite.com/</p>";
In Register.php file I just call this .tpt file when I sending a email message using...
$message = file_get_contents("templates/email_verification.tpt", true);
In admin panel when I want to edit it I just call it with $file_content = file_get_contents($file); function in html textarea field.
So what I want is... When I send the confirmation message from Register.php page I got text with php code(variable e.g. $fname, $lname) in my email addresss which I don't want. It's should be all plain text. It's should be get the php variable (e. g. $fname, $lname, $email, $password, $key, $userid etc..) value from Register.php page and send it to email address...
How can I do this ? any solution or Idea are Most Welcome :)
Note: Sorry for my bad English language and lack of Php knowledge.
You don't necessarily have to save php variables in your template.
You could also save a template like this:
Hello {{NAME}},
This is your password: {{PASSWORD}}
This is your email: {{EMAIL}}
This way your admin doesn't see weird PHP but a little bit more understandable template.
And when you load the template you can replace the words with your variables at the moment of loading templates.
$message = file_get_contents("templates/email_verification.tpt", true);
$search = array(
'{{NAME}}',
'{{EMAIL}}',
'{{PASSWORD}}',
);
$replace = array(
$fname,
$femail,
$fpassword,
);
$message = str_replace($search, $replace, $message);
Personally I also like to use strtr()
$trans = array(
"{{NAME}}" => $fname,
"{{EMAIL}}" => $femail,
"{{PASSWORD}}" => $fpassword
);
$message = strtr($message, $trans);
The reason why strtr() could be better is if i would enter the following data in form:
With str_replace() If I would enter my name as {{PASSWORD}} the incorrect result would be this:
Hello foobar,
This is your password: foobar
This is your email: test@test.com
This is because str_replace replaces the earlier replaced {{NAME}} with {{PASSWORD}} and again with the foobar!!
With strtr() te resul would be the foollowing (because it only replaces 1 time):
Hello {{PASSWORD}},
This is your password: foobar
This is your email: test@test.com
Which is correct in this case.
it should be like this:
Hello ' . $fname . ', ' . $lname . ',
You can replace text form $message with the values of your variables.
Try something like this (use | as special character at your template:
$variables = array(
"|fname" => $fname,
"|lname" => $lname,
"|email" => $email,
"|password" => $password
);
$message = str_replace(array_keys($variables), array_values($variables), $message );
Edit: thanks @Valerij for your comment.
