[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger 7.1 send email via custom function not working?

[lucia digirolamo]

Hi

on vtiger 6 I had a custom function (called by a workflow) that would 
send email via php with the Vtiger_Mailer class. My code was the following:

     $mailer = new Vtiger_Mailer();
     $mailer->IsSMTP(); // send via SMTP
     $mailer->IsHTML(true);
$mailer->ConfigSenderInfo($mailerfromemail,$mailerfromname,$mailerreplyto);
     $mailer->AddReplyTo($mailerreplyto);
     $mailer->Subject = $subject;
     $mailer->Body = $message;
     $mailer->AddAddress($to,$name);
     $status = $mailer->Send(true);

This code on vtiger 6 works. I'm now trying to do the same thing on 
vtiger 7.1 (so, I'm trying to send an email via php code on custom 
function workflow) but neither Vtiger_Mailer nor send_mail() are 
working. The outgoing server is working because email are being sent via 
normal workflow (workflow > actions > send mail); Sendmail is working as 
well because I can find it with "which sendmail" and the mail is 
correctly sent from cli. The only emails that fails are the ones from 
the php code of the custom function. What I have tried so far:

- Vtiger_Mailer:

     require_once 'vtlib/Vtiger/Mailer.php';
     global $HELPDESK_SUPPORT_EMAIL_ID;
     $subject = "some subject for this email";
     $description = "some content from new crm";
     $mailer = new Vtiger_Mailer();
     $mailer->IsHTML(true);
     $mailer->ConfigSenderInfo($HELPDESK_SUPPORT_EMAIL_ID);
     $mailer->Subject =$subject;
     $mailer->Body = $description;
     $mailer->AddAddress($myemail);
     $status = $mailer->Send(true);

- sendmail:

     require_once("modules/Emails/mail.php");
     $module = "Potentials";
     $to_email = $myemail;
     $from_name = $myname;
     $from_email = $fromemail;
     $subject = "some subject for this email";
     $contents = "some content from dieffe crm new";
     $cc = "";
     $bcc = "";
     $attachment = "";
send_mail($module,$to_email,$from_name,$from_email,$subject,$contents,$cc,$bcc,$attachment);

Any clue on how to have this work?
