I’m the owner of a retail web site that has used a php shopping cart by Quikstore for many years. Unfortunately this company no longer supports its product and I’ve been unable to get help with a recent problem. The cart is supposed to send an email copy of each order to both the store (me) and also to the customer, as confirmation of the order. This worked fine for years but suddenly the cart has stopped sending the customer an email, although I still get the store email. I know which file controls email sending but I’m not a programmer and have no clue how to spot the problem. Here is the code from the email.inc file:
[php]<?php
class Email{
var $debug = false;
var $sent = false;
// --------------------------------------------------------------
function Email(){
global $_CF, $_DB;
// add this new CF param if missing
if(!isset($_CF['email']['use_customer_email_as_from_address'])){
$row = $_DB->getRecord("SELECT MAX(sequence) as seq FROM config WHERE section = 'email'");
$seq = $row['seq'] + 1;
$sql = "INSERT INTO config (`section`,`sequence`,`key`,`value`) VALUES('email','$seq','use_customer_email_as_from_address','true')";
$_DB->execute($sql);
$_CF['email']['use_customer_email_as_from_address'] = 'true';
$count = $_DB->getCount("help","WHERE `key` = 'use_customer_email_as_from_address'");
if($count == 0){
$sql = "INSERT INTO help (`section`,`key`,`key_help`)
VALUES('email','use_customer_email_as_from_address',
'Allows you to set the from address for the store email to the customer email address.<br /><br /><b>NOTE:</b> This may not work on some email servers.')";
$_DB->execute($sql);
}
}
}
// --------------------------------------------------------------

global $_CF;

Could someone please offer some advice, please.
