Fetch part of url to make subject of mail

Question

I have just received a great answer to my previous question: LINK

In addition to this answer, I have a new challenge.

My mailform is supported with a form.lib.php file where the mailsubject is defined and printed to the mail.

 define( 'PHPFMG_SUBJECT' , "" );


 function    sendFormMail( $form_mail, $sFileName = ""  ) 
{ 
$to        = filterEmail(PHPFMG_TO) ;
$cc        = filterEmail(PHPFMG_CC) ;
$bcc       = filterEmail(PHPFMG_BCC) ;

}; 

 $subject   = PHPFMG_SUBJECT ; 

The vacancy number that we fetched in my previous topic, should be printed as the mail subject, so my crm system is using it to registrate the response.

How can I make this happen?

Answer 1

Your solution is not working yet. I tried to copy the $vacancies into the subject define field, but then the subject of the mail is empty.

I have two files, one mailform and one form.lib.

In the mailform I have this code:

 <input type="hidden"style="font-weight:bold" formmethod="POST" name="field_5"  id="field_5" value=" <php  str="http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
 $arr=explode("-",$str); $vacancynumber=end($arr); echo end($arr); ?>" 

This makes that this field is indeed showing the vacancy number in the mail that is send. But now I have to make this number in the subject too...

The .lib file is showing this (it shows more, but I think this is the relevant code):

<?php define( 'PHPFMG_SUBJECT' , "" );?>

     <?php
$msg = ob_get_contents() ;
ob_end_clean();
return trim($msg);}
  $GLOBALS['form_mail'] = array();
 $GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_0'] = array( "name" => "field_0", "text" => "Voornaam",  "type" => "senderfirstname", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_1'] = array( "name" => "field_1", "text" => "Achternaam",  "type" => "senderlastname", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_2'] = array( "name" => "field_2", "text" => "E-mail",  "type" => "sender's email", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_3'] = array( "name" => "field_3", "text" => "(Mobiel) Telefoonnummer",  "type" => "text", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_4'] = array( "name" => "field_4", "text" => "Woonplaats",  "type" => "text", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;

$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_5'] = array( "name" => "field_5", "text" => "Vacaturenummer",  "type" => "text", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_7'] = array( "name" => "field_7", "text" => "Upload je CV",  "type" => "attachment", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_8'] = array( "name" => "field_8", "text" => "Akkoord privacy",  "type" => "checkbox", "instruction" => "", "required" => "" ) ;
$GLOBALS['form_mail']['field_9'] = array( "name" => "field_9", "text" => "Hoe heb je ons gevonden?",  "type" => "checkbox", "instruction" => "", "required" => "Required" ) ;?>

$cc        = filterEmail(PHPFMG_CC) ;

// simply chop email address to avoid my website being abused
