AW: Sending emails in console scripts

Note to self: All that lines are not necessary. What works is:

<?php
class ErinnerungShell extends Shell {
/**
* List of tasks for this shell
*
* @var array
*/
var $tasks = array('Email');
var $uses = array('Vertrag');

var $Email;

function main()
{
....some code...
$this->emailversenden($vertrag);
}

function emailversenden($vertrag)
{
$user = ....;
$responsibleperson = ....;
$responsiblepersonname = ....;
$responsiblepersonemail = ....;
$username= ....;
$useremail= ....;

//it looks like somehow set with compact doesn't really work here
$this->Email->set('user',$user);
$this->Email->set('vertrag',$vertrag);
$this->Email->set('responsibleperson',$responsibleperson);
$this->Email->set('somemoretext',$somemoretext);

$this->Email->settings(array(
'from' => 'myapp@mydomain.de',
'template' => 'simple_message2', //this is my email layout under elements
'to' => $responsiblepersonname.' <'.$responsiblepersonemail.'>',
'cc' => $username.' <'.$useremail.'>',
'subject' => 'Erinnerung: Vertrag kündigen '.$vertrag['Lieferant']['name'],
'sendAs' => 'html'
));

$this->Email->send();
}
}
?>

This sends me nicely formatted emails from console, although I get an annoying warning :
PHP Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /usr/share/cake/libs/controller/components/email.php on line 457

Line 457 is:

if (!empty($this->bcc) && $this->delivery != 'smtp') {
$this->__header[] = 'Bcc: ' .implode(', ', array_map(array($this, '__formatAddress'), $this->bcc));
}
Well... Bcc is clearly empty in my setup so im am wondering where this error comes from.

Any hints are appreciated

Hi,

I am just running into the same problem. Have you found a solution yet?
I want to send an email via a shell script and have trouble passing teh body to the Email component when using the mail functions from the example shell script "my". I will now try your solution.

Hi.

I'm writing a console shell that needs to send emails. I want to use the EmailComponent but the only way i've managed to get it to work is to manually create an instance of AppController an pass it to a manually created instance of EmailComponent.

My code:

App::import('Core', 'Controller');
App::import('Controller', 'AppController'); $AppController = new AppController(); $AppController->constructClasses();

App::import('Component', 'Email');
$Email = new EmailComponent();
$Email->initialize($AppController);
$Email->startup($AppController);

Is there a simpler/more elegant way of achieving this? Shouldn't Shell have a $components variable the same way it has a $uses variable?

Thanks in advance.
