How To Send a Confirmation Email To User Email Address

Hello I have a newsletter form that I would like to add coding too which once the user has filled in there information and submitted the form it sends them a confirmation email to there email address with some text. How would I go about adding that in. Here is the code for the mail.

$myMessage = $myNameLabel .' '. $_POST["m_name".$unique_id].', '.
$myEmailLabel .' '. $_POST["m_email".$unique_id].', '.
date("r");

$mailSender =&JFactory::getMailer();
$mailSender->addRecipient($recipient);if($sendingWithSetEmail){
$mailSender->setSender(array($fromEmail,$fromName));}else{
$mailSender->setSender(array($_POST["m_email".$unique_id],$_POST["m_name".$unique_id]));}

$mailSender->setSubject($subject);
$mailSender->setBody($myMessage);

if(!$mailSender->Send()){
$myReplacement ='<div class="modns"><span style="color: '.$errorTextColor.';">'. $errorText .'</span></div>';print $myReplacement;}

Code (markup):

Thanks for any help given. If you would like the full code let me know and I will paste it in.

 

Just do the same thing again but flip the sender and receiver. Then change the message.

 

$myMessage = $myNameLabel . ' ' . $_POST["m_name".$unique_id] . ', ' .
                 $myEmailLabel . ' ' . $_POST["m_email".$unique_id] . ', ' .
                 date("r");

    $mailReceiver = &JFactory::getMailer();
    $mailReceiver->addRecipient($recipient);
    if ($sendingWithSetEmail) {
      $mailReceiver->setSender(array($fromEmail,$fromName));
    }
    else {
      $mailReceiver->setSender(array($_POST["m_email".$unique_id],$_POST["m_name".$unique_id]));
    }

    $mailReceiver->setSubject($subject);
    $mailReceiver->setBody($myMessage);

Just tried but it's still not working. Must be doing something wrong.

 

$myMessage = $myNameLabel .' '. $_POST["m_name".$unique_id].', '.
$myEmailLabel .' '. $_POST["m_email".$unique_id].', '.
date("r");

$mailSender =&JFactory::getMailer();
$mailSender->addRecipient($recipient);if($sendingWithSetEmail){
$mailSender->setSender(array($fromEmail,$fromName));}else{
$mailSender->setSender(array($_POST["m_email".$unique_id],$_POST["m_name".$unique_id]));}

$mailSender->setSubject($subject);
$mailSender->setBody($myMessage);

if(!$mailSender->Send()){
$myReplacement ='<div class="modns"><span style="color: '.$errorTextColor.';">'. $errorText .'</span></div>';print $myReplacement;
}

$myMessage2 = "Confirmation email";

$mailSender2 =&JFactory::getMailer();
if($sendingWithSetEmail){
    $mailSender2->addRecipient($fromEmail);
}else{
    $mailSender2->addRecipient($_POST["m_email".$unique_id]);
}
$mailSender2->setSender(array($recipient,"Some company"));

$mailSender2->setSubject($subject);
$mailSender2->setBody($myMessage2);

if(!$mailSender2->Send()){
$myReplacement ='<div class="modns"><span style="color: '.$errorTextColor.';">'. $errorText .'</span></div>';print $myReplacement;
}

PHP:

Try something like that. It should send both an email to you I guess and it should also send a confirmation back to the sender.

 

Thanks for all your help but still not having much luck. My full code is below. It sends fine to my email address but doesn't send anything to the recipient.

have you checked their spam folder? its possible its working fine and just stuck in there

 

Also, be aware that if you're sending from a host that has not been set up as a verified mail-server, and you're sending to hotmail/outlook-mails, they might not arrive at all - you might get a response in the mail-log, though, saying that the message could not be relayed to the recipient.
