Email Library Extension Hooks

email_send

email_send(&$data)

Modify email headers, recipients and body data, and optionally take over email sending completely.

How it’s called:

$ret = ee()->extensions->call(
    'email_send',
    array(
        'headers'       => &$this->_headers,     // Email headers array
        'header_str'    => &$this->_header_str,  // Header string
        'recipients'    => &$this->_recipients,  // Recipients string
        'cc_array'      => &$this->_cc_array,    // CC recipients, populated by Email::cc(), used by SMTP
        'bcc_array'     => &$this->_bcc_array,   // BCC recipients, populated by Email::bcc(), used by SMTP
        'subject'       => &$this->_subject,     // Email subject
        'finalbody'     => &$this->_finalbody    // Final email body text
    )
);

if (ee()->extensions->end_script === TRUE)
{
    return $ret;
}

Note

If the extension decides to take over sending of the email, end_script should be set to TRUE, and _spool_email will return the extension’s return value, preferably a boolean indicating success or failure

Parameters:
  • &$data (array) – Array of data about email to be sent (see above) passed by reference so data may be altered without needing to return the altered data
Returns:

TRUE if successfully sent, FALSE if not

Return type:

Boolean
