Snippet: emailSender
Author: Cris D
Date: 2008-12-08
Use: This is a generic snippet that allows you to easily add email capabilities to any other snippet, form or code.

Examples of implementation:

Using the runSnippet() API...
1) Collect the snippet parameters to pass to it.

$params=array(
'flag'=>$flag, //leave blank or set to false to stop the email from sending.
'subject'=>$subject, //RFC2047 standard (see PHP.net function mail()  for more)
'to'=>$to, //you guessed it, who to send the email- RFC2822 standard
'sender'=>$sender, //Who will be the sender.  Leave blank to get the etomite site config email.
'headers'=>$headers)//Optional- MIME, Content type: text/html, etomite charset, and Return Path are sent by default.

2) call the snippet into action using the runSnippet API

$var=$etomite->runSnippet('emailSender' $params);//returns true on success, false on failure and error if phpini mail is not set up.

3) Do something with the value returned from the snippet (true || false)
example:

if($var) return "Email successfully sent!";

Using a snippet call to set some variables:

[!emailSender?subject=MyPage!&to=someone@mysite.com!]

Note: When using any email scripts like this, make sure that they are protected from spammers by using a log-in script, captcha or other security code to protect it.
