Summary

0011733: Conditional includes & placeholders, easy hack

Description

I put together a pretty easy way to conditionally include placeholders and other information, depending on whether a certain attribute exists or not.

So you can email "Dear Jane," to your subscribers who have entered their first name and "Good day!" to those who haven't.

Additional Information

sendemaillib.php, about line 315, find

    foreach ($user_att_values as $att_name => $att_value) {

      if (eregi("\[".$att_name."\]",$htmlmessage,$regs)) {
        $htmlmessage = eregi_replace("\[".$att_name."\]",$att_value,$htmlmessage);
      }

and replace with:

    foreach ($user_att_values as $att_name => $att_value) {

      //"CONDITIONAL" substitution thing for HTML messages, 9-30-2007
      //Works like this, in email body:
      //[CONDITIONAL Dear [FIRST NAME]|Greetings!] includes "Dear [FIRST NAME]," if [FIRST NAME] exists
      //or "Greetings!" otherwise
      //Works for any attribute name, upper case, in brackets [LAST NAME], [ZIP], etc.
      if (preg_match_all
           ('/\[CONDITIONAL\|\[' . preg_quote($att_name, '/') . '\]\|(.*?)\|(.*?)\]/si',
           $htmlmessage,$matches, PREG_SET_ORDER))
      {
       foreach ($matches as $regs) {
         if ($att_value<>"") {
            $conditional=$regs[1];
            str_replace ( '[' . strtoupper($att_name) .']', $att_value, $conditional);
         } else {
            $conditional=$regs[2];
         }
         $htmlmessage = str_replace($regs[0] , $conditional, $htmlmessage);
       }
      }

      if (preg_match_all
           ('/\[CONDITIONAL\|\[' . preg_quote($att_name, '/') . '\]\|(.*?)\|(.*?)\]/si',
           $textmessage,$matches, PREG_SET_ORDER))
      {
       foreach ($matches as $regs) {
         if ($att_value<>"") {
            $conditional=$regs[1];
            str_replace ( '[' . strtoupper($att_name) .']', $att_value, $conditional);
         } else {
            $conditional=$regs[2];
         }
         $textmessage = str_replace($regs[0] , $conditional, $textmessage); }
      }

      if (eregi("\[".$att_name."\]",$htmlmessage,$regs)) {
        $htmlmessage = eregi_replace("\[".$att_name."\]",$att_value,$htmlmessage);
      }
