Paymate and mail()

Need to send myself an email on Paymate submission

[mrnoisy]

I'm using Paymate for credit card processing.

I want to send an email using the php mail() function at the same time as the paymate link is submitted.

The Paymate link looks like this:

<a onclick='self.name = 'parent';' target='_top' href='https://www.paymate.com.au/PayMate/ExpressPayment?mid=myid&amt=$totalprice&pmt_sender_email=$email&popup=false&return=http://www.example.com/'>
<button>Proceed to Payment</button></a>

I've tried using Mail() and then:

header("Location: http://www.example.com/");
exit;

But it causes an error at the Paymate processing page.

Any ideas?

You can try first sending mail and then redirecting to Payment:

<a onclick='self.name = 'parent';' target='_top' href="?pay=payment" ><button>Proceed to Payment</button></a>

<?php
if($_GET["pay"] == "payment")
mail(...);
header("Location: [paymate.com.au...]

This should do.

Well that worked a treat, thanks!

If anyone else wants to do the same trick, this code works nicely:

if ((isset($_POST['order'])) && ($paymentmethod=='cc')) 
{ 
$subject = 'Order Confirmation'; 
$message = "Dear $name\n\n". 
"Thank you for your order.\n\n". 
"Order Type: " . $type."\n". 
"Number of Copies: " . $numberofcopies."\n". 
"Price: $" . sprintf("%01.2f", $totalprice)."\n". 
"Payment Method: " . "Credit Card\n". 
"Contact Name: " . $contactname."\n". 
"Address: " . $deliveryaddress ."\n".$town." ".$state_id." ".$postcode." ".$country_id ."\n". 
"Email: " . $email."\n". 
"Phone: " . $phone."\n". 
"Comments: " . $comments; 
$headers = "From: 'My Business'<[e-mail]>\r\n" . 
"to: '$contactname' <$email>" . "\r\n" . 
"bcc: <[e-mail]>" . "\r\n" . 
"Reply-To: 'My Business'<[e-mail]>\r\n" . 
'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion(); 
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); 
header("Location: [paymate.com.au...]   
}
