Php Script For Sending Mails Through Cron Job

Store Builder in detail Hints & Modifications
#1

I want to create a php script that will be connected to a cron task and this script will send an email to me if something is found in database.

I was thinking of creating the php file in the root directory of my cs cart installation with something like this in it:

get_something_from_database;


if(something==true)

{

Mailer::sendMail(array(

‘to’ => ‘test@example.com’,

‘from’ => ‘company_users_department’,

‘reply_to’ => $un[‘shop_user_id’],

‘data’ => array(

‘user_data’ => $user_data,

‘product_name’ => $un[‘name’],

‘syntheseis’ => $product_code,

),

‘tpl’ => ‘profiles/disabled_product.tpl’,

‘company_id’ => $shop_data[‘full_description’]

), ‘A’, Registry::get(‘settings.Appearance.backend_default_language’));

}

?>

But when I tried to run this script from the browser, like: "http://localhost/cs/name_of_php.php

I get 2 basic errors.

First that it cannot connect to Database, and second, that it cannot find the Tygh\Mailer

Any ideas how to create my script?

I managed to do what I wanted but I have a another similar question now.

I connect to database, but I cannot use the db_get_fields etc functions.

Or the Tygh/Mailer.

Why is this happening and what do I have to do in order to use the placeholders, microformats etc that cs cart provides?

Thank you

It is better to create new controller, because all CS-Cart functions and classes will be accessible there.

A controller in a new addon right?

My_changes addon for example.

Please try

use Tygh\Mailer;

use Tygh\Registry;


define(‘AREA’, ‘C’);


require dirname(FILE) . ‘/init.php’;
