Hi,

There are couple Plugin available that enable us to send automatic welcome PM to new member upon registration but that is not what I need.
I want to send an automatic PM from admin to a member when a function on my custom page gets executed.

For example, something like that:

<?php
define("IN_MYBB", 1);
require_once "../global.php";

$data = '';//some data
$result = $db->query('
SELECT * FROM '.TABLE_PREFIX.'test
WHERE `data` = "'.$db->escape_string($data).'"
LIMIT 1');

if($result == TRUE){
$db_r = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
if ($db_r['data'] == $data){
echo "Already exists";
exit();
} else {
$new_record = array(
"uid" => intval($mybb->user["uid"]),
"username" => $db->escape_string($mybb->user["username"]),
"data" => $db->escape_string($data)
);
$db->insert_query('test', $new_record);
//and send PM to the user that new record was successfully created.
}
?>

Is there any quick and easy method to accomplish this?

You can call the send_pm function.

inc/functions ~8005

/**
 * Send a Private Message to a user.
 *
 * @param array Array containing: 'subject', 'message', 'touid' and 'receivepms' (the latter should reflect the value found in the users table: receivepms and receivefrombuddy)
 * @param int Sender UID (0 if you want to use $mybb->user['uid'] or -1 to use MyBB Engine)
 * @param bool Whether or not do override user defined options for receiving PMs
 * @return bool True if PM sent
 */

function send_pm($pm, $fromid = 0, $admin_override=false)

Example:

send_pm(array('subject' => 'Yoursubject', 'Message' => 'Message', 'touid' => $userID, 'receivepms' => true), 1, true);
