How to send an email with link for purchasing from previously stored form submitted

katenaomi — Aug 24, 2014, 04:19 PM

I have been working on creating a webpage when clicked, will take them to the page where users have already submitted their personal information (form with first &last name, email, contact phone, zip code and square footage of house) but not have gone through with the purchase of product.
Created a working snippet as shown below that allows me to store the user information for creating a lead.

$arr = array_merge($_GET, $_POST);
foreach($arr as $key=>$value)
$arr[$key] = mysql_escape_string($value);
if(!$arr['firstname'] || !$arr['lastname'] || !$arr['email'])
return;
if(!$arr['id']) {
$qry = 'SELECT id FROM modx_kate_userData WHERE email="' . $arr['email'] . '" AND userid=0';
//echo $qry;
$result = $modx->query($qry);
if(is_object($result)) $data = $result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if(sizeof($data))
$arr['id'] = $data[0]['id'];
}
if($arr['id']) {
//echo 'UPDATE modx_kate_userData SET firstname="' . $arr['firstname'] . '", lastname="' . $arr['lastname'] . '", email="' . $arr['email'] .'", phone="' . $arr['phone'] .'", sqfootage="' . $arr['sqfootage'] .'", updatedon=NOW() WHERE id=' . $arr['id'];exit;
$stmt = $modx->prepare('UPDATE modx_kate_userData SET firstname="' . $arr['firstname'] . '", lastname="' . $arr['lastname'] . '", secondary_name="' . $arr['secondary_name'] . '", email="' . $arr['email'] .'", phone="' . $arr['phone'] .'", sqfootage="' . $arr['sqfootage'] .'", sweepstakecode="' . $arr['sweepstakecode'] . '", updatedon=NOW() WHERE id=' . $arr['id']);
$stmt->execute();
return $arr['id'];
}
else {
$qry = 'SELECT d.id, d.firstname, d.lastname, d.salesid, u.username, u.primary_group, mg.id, mg.user_group, mg.member, mg.role FROM modx_kate_userData d LEFT JOIN modx_users u ON d.salesid=u.id LEFT JOIN modx_member_groups mg ON mg.member=u.id WHERE mg.role=6 ORDER BY d.id DESC LIMIT 1';
//echo $qry;
$result = $modx->query($qry);
if(is_object($result)) $data = $result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
if(sizeof($data))
$lastSalesID = $data[0]['salesid'];

$qry = "SELECT u.username, u.primary_group, mg.user_group, mg.member AS id, mg.role FROM modx_users u LEFT JOIN modx_member_groups mg ON mg.member=u.id WHERE mg.role=6 ORDER BY u.id";
//echo $qry;
$result = $modx->query($qry);
if(is_object($result)) $data = $result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$salesid = 0;
if($arr['debug']) print_r($data);
if(sizeof($data))
foreach($data as $key=>$datum) {
if($datum['id']==$lastSalesID)
$salesid = $data[$key+1]['id'];
}
if(!$salesid) $salesid = $data[0]['id'];

//echo 'INSERT INTO modx_kate_userData(firstname, lastname, email, phone, zip, sqfootage, salesid, sweepstakecode, notes, source, createdon, updatedon) VALUES("' . $arr['firstname'] . '", "' . $arr['lastname'] . '", "' . $arr['email'] .'", "' . $arr['phone'] .'", "' . $arr['zip'] .'", "' . $arr['sqfootage'] .'", ' . $salesid . ', "' . $arr['sweepstakecode'] . '", "' . $arr['notes'] . '", "' . $arr['source'] . '", NOW(), NOW())';
$stmt = $modx->prepare('INSERT INTO modx_kate_userData(firstname, lastname, secondary_name, email, phone, zip, sqfootage, salesid, sweepstakecode, notes, source, createdon, updatedon) VALUES("' . $arr['firstname'] . '", "' . $arr['lastname'] . '", "' . $arr['secondary_name'] .'", "' . $arr['email'] .'", "' . $arr['phone'] .'", "' . $arr['zip'] .'", "' . $arr['sqfootage'] .'", ' . $salesid . ', "' . $arr['sweepstakecode'] . '", "' . $arr['notes'] . '", "' . $arr['source'] . '", NOW(), NOW())');
$stmt->execute();
$qry = 'SELECT id FROM modx_kate_userData WHERE email="' . $arr['email'] . '" AND userid=0';
//echo $qry;exit;
$result = $modx->query($qry);
if(is_object($result)) $data = $result->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $data[0]['id'];
}

However, I am really stuck on using the email ID information from their previous form submission to be used for sending them an email with a link to give them another chance to buy the product again without re-entering the form with personal information again.(There is no log in required). Any kind of help is appreciated.

If you have code that processes their previous form submission you can set one or more $_SESSION variables with the values. Then you can read those variables anywhere as long as they're still on line.

$_SESSION['id'] = $id;

And later,

$id = $_SESION['id'];

If you need them later, after the user is gone, you'd have to save them to a file named in some way that identifies the user.
