php: send email when ftp-upload was a success?
Question by matt
hey guys,
i wonder what i’m doing wrong? I’m working on a ftp-upload with php. if files are uploaded successfully i want to get a confirmation email. just a simple email.
if my connection to the FTP Server was a success i’m calling the sendmail() function! it’s not working!
function sendmail() {
$EmailFrom = "do-not-reply@mypage.com";
$EmailTo = "myemail@mypage.com";
$Subject = "File uploaded to your FTP Server";
$Body = "Howdy, files have just been transferred to your Server.";
// Email Headers with UTF-8 encoding
$email_header = "From: " . $EmailFrom . "rn";
$email_header .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8rn";
$email_header .= "Reply-To: " . $EmailFrom . " rn";
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, $email_header);
if ($success){
print "success with EMAIL";
}
else{
print "error with EMAIL";
}
}
any idea what i’m doing wrong here? does the $EmailFrom value have to be an actual Emailaddress? It’s just not working. Neither success nor error gets printed out. And nothing of my code AFTER the function-call gets executed.
thank you for your help

Well if you want to sendmail() when ftp upload is success do something like this
$status = move_uploaded_file($src,$destination);
if($status) { sendmail(); }
What this will do this, first $status will hold the boolean value whether the upload is successful, and if it suceeds then it will call your sendmail() function
