Hey,

Does anyone know the script to send PMs?

I basically writing an own plugin where people can subscribe to, when a new notification is made, the user should be notified about it by PM.

Anyone know how to perform this?

Thanks in advance!

require_once MYBB_ROOT."inc/datahandlers/pm.php";
	
	$pmhandler = new PMDataHandler();

	$pm = array(
		"subject" => htmlspecialchars_uni("PM Title."),
		"message" => htmlspecialchars_uni("Sample message."),
		"icon" => -1,
		"fromid" => 0,
		"do" => '',
		"pmid" => ''
	);
	
	$pm['toid'] = $uids_to_send_pm_to;

	$pm['options'] = array(
		"signature" => 0,
		"disablesmilies" => 0,
		"savecopy" => 0,
		"readreceipt" => 0
	);
	$pm['saveasdraft'] = 0;
	$pmhandler->admin_override = 1;
	$pmhandler->set_data($pm);
	if($pmhandler->validate_pm())
	{
		$pmhandler->insert_pm();
	}
	else
	{
		return false;
	}
	
	return true;

$uids_to_send_pm_to can be a list of uids to whom you wish to send PMs to.

thanks!!

You should be using htmlspecialchars_uni only when showing the title/message to the end user, not while inserting the PM to the DB (the datahandler already escapes this too), the following should work.

// We are ready to send it.
require_once MYBB_ROOT.'inc/datahandlers/pm.php';
$pmhandler = new PMDataHandler;

$pmhandler->admin_override = true; // if you want Flood checking, useless if the PM is send automatically
$pmhandler->set_data(array(
	'subject'	=>	'Hello!', // the PM title
	'message'	=>	'Hi!', // The message
	'icon'		=>	-1, // the icon
	'fromid'	=>	(int)$mybb->user['uid'], // UID who is sending the PM, MyBB Engine = -1
	'toid'		=>	array(1, 345) // users to send the PM to
));
if($pmhandler->validate_pm()) // insert if PM is valid
{
	$pmhandler->insert_pm();
	return true;
}
return false;

Whoaah nice!!
