Where I am wrong with this?
every time I am refresh the page it send an email how can I make it send just on click?

Code: Select all

$from = 'broken@domain.com';
$fromname = 'BrokenLink@domain.com';
$subject = 'BrokenLink';
$body =  $valueDoc->title;
$recipient[] = 'myemail@gmail.com';
JUtility::sendMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body);
echo '<a href="#" onclick='sendMail()'>Broken Link</a>';

I put it in the end of default.php at file view

Hi, sorry I don't understand. You have some javascript which call some javascript function, but the code is PHP

Yeah as you can see I not learning anything, all I do is guessing

so I have a php code that can send email and it work.
I can make a button that call this page or I can put that code in the file view.
if I put it in different page I don't know how to send this variable - $valueDoc->title to mail.php
if I put the code in the same page every refresh it send and email so I need to put in inside a function and trigger it with onclick but I don't manage to do it.

I try a lot of things and search the internet but I don't find a way to make it stop sending email every refresh, if I am putting the mail function inside function I don't manage to call it with onclick what I am doing wrong?

The mail function can be called only by PHP, so you need to send some form data to work with php again and send the email.
