[SOLVED] Email template | PHP issue + SOLUTION

Fabrik : 3.5.1
Joomla : 3.5.1

Hi,

Sorry to bother with this issue, but I have no clue why it is not working.

I'm would like to add into my email template a else elseif loop to display or not specific informations with two conditions :

$type     = '{gprh_fabrik_user_reminder___type_rappel_raw}';
$rappel = '{gprh_fabrik_user_reminder___no_rappel_raw}';

Which are radio-buttons values.

I was unable to get it work.

In my email template I have tested (var_dumped) if the values are returned, they are since the email generated is returning the values I'm looking for :

string(7) "type : " string(45) "3"

string(9) "rappel : " string(43) "1"

But when I'm using those values into a if elseif else loop, than the echoed value is always the "else" value -> nothing.

If I'm doing the following simple test :

<p><?php
         
            $type     = '{gprh_fabrik_user_reminder___type_rappel_raw}';
         
            echo $type;
         
            if ($type == 3)
                {
                echo 'YES!';
                }
            else
                {
                echo 'NO!';
                }
            ?></p>

The echoed values in the generated email are :

3 NO!

The correct value is always returned (3), the loop should echo 'YES' but still echoed is 'NO'.

No clue why it is not working, by the way I have tried several other ways to display the needed information without success, please see txt doc attached.

Would appreciate some help here.

Cheers, marc

string(7) "type : " string(45) "3"

As you can see "3" is not 3 but a string(45), so 44 characters not displayed (some HTML formatting etc).
But I have no idea why "_raw" is returning this.

Try to inspect the source code of this page displaying the dumps, maybe this gives a clue.

Hi troester, strange indeed; the raw is returning :

"gprh_fabrik_user_reminder___type_rappel_raw"

I could print the content with substr.

There's nothing waird or unusual in the template, so no clue...

Remind me the following thread http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.ph...-template-does-not-work-when-it-should.34205/

Ah, is the code in a file?
You can't use placeholders there, use $this->data['tablename___elementname'];

The debug problem is that in your code you get an output string "type : {xxxx}"
and this is run afterwards through the placeholder replacement replacing {xxxx} with 3
(drove me crazy some time ago, too)

Thanks a lot troester, was unable to solve it with the _raw value (I'm going crazy because I can't find an explanation to this behavior), but with the label value it is working fine.

So Problem solved, cheers, marc
