Hi,

I'm trying to use the "Send Email Notice Depending On A Select Field Chosen" code, as found in
the Unofficial FAQ (http://webmagic.hypermart.net/dbman/email26.txt).

Per the FAQ, I've set up a series of variables in my .cfg file, like so:

$maint_email{'Shop A'} = 'joe@ShopA.com';
$maint_email{'Shop B'} = 'fred@ShopB.com';

and so on.

Then, in sub html_add_success, I have changed the email
notification code from:

print MAIL "To: $maint_email\n";

to:

print MAIL "To: $maint_email{$rec{'MaintenanceContacts'}}\n";

However, the email address identified in the .cfg file for the MaintenanceContacts
is not being pulled into the address, and the mail is not sent.

If anyone can illuminate my problem here, I'd appreciate it very much!

thanks,
-rckeller

I'd check this:

$maint_email{$rec{'MaintenanceContacts'}}

It doesn't seem right.

You either want $maint_email{MaintenanceContacts} or $rec{MaintenanceContacts}

Paul, thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.

Unfortunately, these did not seem to work. I'm afraid I'm still scratching my head...

thanks,

"I can think of no more stirring symbol of Man's humanity to man than a Fire Engine."

I found the problem!

This line needs to be inserted in the sub html_add_success, before the "print MAIL" sequence:

%rec = &get_record($in{$db_key});

This pulls the record-specific information required (that is, {$rec{$'MaintenanceContacts'}} ), and
inserts it into the email address specified by $maint_email{$rec{'$MaintenanceContacts'}}.

I will add your solution to the FAQ reference file.

Thanks for posting the fix for this!

You have an extra $ that isn't needed after $rec{'

Ah, you're right, the second { is not needed. This was a typo in my post; sorry, it was late/early!
