B4J Question [BANano] [SOLVED] Request assistance in sending HTML via inline PHP Mail function

Ola

I kindly request help in relation to sending HTML content via PHP Mail function.

I have tried most things, this is returning {"status":"failure"}

Project Attached

Thanks a lot!

Sorry, my knowledge of PHP is limited as I don't use it but a B4J jServer instead which makes everything much simpler. Does your php function mail() work outside a BANano project (just purely on your PHP server)?

Ohh, let me do tests along those lines, thanks.

When you have time, can you please provide an example of how one can do that using BANano? Thanks.

You wrote a tutorial yourself back in the days: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...s-form-that-will-send-an-email.79099/#content

It is the same in BANano as in ABM using a jServer. In our company, we wrote a B4J library to send emails using SendInBlue, but I can not share this one. There are probably other B4J libs on the forum for sending an email.

All this time me is thinking about the BANanoServer implementation... That is a b4j jar lib and I can use in BANano via the BANanoServer?

Phew, now where do I start? #ThinkingAloud

My mind has not even began to grasp how the BANanoServer stuff works. Ok, will have to deep dive learning.

It is a .b4xlib and if you look into the source code, it is *very* similar to an ABM app. BANanoServer is an easy-to-use Wrapper around jServer (like ABM is). And is simple to use, see https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ananoserver-going-full-circle.111406/#content

I found the issue, I was using BANano.CallInlinePHPWait inside a library, this does not work as it needs to be used inside your module.

So this is what Im using.

'send the email
    Dim es As Map = BANanoShared.BuildPHPEmail("mbanga.anele@gmail.com", "mbanga.anele@gmail.com", "", "BANanoMJML Email", MJMLApp.html)
    Dim email As String = BANano.CallInlinePHPWait("EmailSender", es)
    Log(email)

BuildPHPEmail is used to build the map variable to be passed to the PHP call

'build the map to send an email to use in callinlinephp
Sub BuildPHPEmail(sfrom As String, sto As String, scc As String, ssubject As String, smsg As String) As Map
    Dim se As Map = CreateMap("from":sfrom, "to":sto, "cc":scc, "subject":ssubject, "msg":smsg)
    Return se
End Sub

The PHP

#if PHP
function EmailSender($from, $to, $cc, $subject, $msg) {
    $hdr  = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
    $hdr .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
    $hdr .= 'X-Mailer:PHP/' . phpversion() . "\r\n";
    $hdr = "From:" . $from . "\r\n"; 
    $extra = '-f '. $from; 
    $hdr .= "Cc: " . $cc . "\r\n"; 
    $response = (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $hdr, $extra)) ? "success" : "failure"; 
    $output = json_encode(Array("response" => $response)); 
    header('content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8'); 
    echo($output); 
}
#End If

Thanks!
