plPHP and php mail() example

[Robby Russell <rrussell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here is a simple function that takes 4 arguments ($arg0-3) and utilizes 
the php mail() function. I added the headers for an example of how easy 
it is to utilize plPHP in PostgreSQL.


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION phpmail(text,text,text,text) RETURNS integer AS '
  # Argument list
  $email_address = $arg0;
  $email_from = $arg1;
  $subject = $arg2;
  $body = $arg3;


  #
  # ..Typically, you would validate arguments here


  # Build email headers
  $headers  =  "From: $email_from\r\n";
  $headers .= "Reply-To: $email_from\r\n";
  $headers .= "X-Mailer: plPHP";


  # Send email
  if (mail($email_address, $subject, $body, $headers)) {
    return 1;
  }
  else {
    return 0;
  }


' LANGUAGE 'plphp';
