How can I trap the error when the sc_mail_send command fails?

Scriptcase 9 General
#1

Hi guys,
I happened to have experienced a problem related to my host’s smtp mail system… not SC6 this time :slight_smile:

The error starts off with:
Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Swift_TransportException’ with message ‘Connection could not be established with host smtp.webfaction.com [php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known #0]’ in
<I deleted the rest as it has path and stuff I would rather not expose>

But it did bring to life a problem - when this failure happened , it was at the last step of my user registration. That all actually worked well, except for the email not going out. PHP dumped a big dozen lines of errors on the smtp. What can I do to capture errors with the sc_mail_send command? If the email fails, I would rather just not have it sent, but take the user to a redirect page for greetings and info that way.

BTW - I read the help on that comand and have tried to use the code in the example - HOWEVER, this only seems to work on logical errors. By that I mean that if you get the type of fatal error I have experienced, it dies before the error code below can help you log anything. What should I do?

Example code:

Ex. 3: No user and password.
sc_mail_send([glo_smtp], ‘’, ‘’, ‘from.netmake.com.br’, {to}, {sunject}, {message}, ‘H’, ‘’, ‘’, ‘’, ‘’, [glo_att]);

The amount of emails sent will be stored at the special variable “sc_mail_count”.

If any error happend when the scriptcase try to send the email, the variable “sc_mail_ok” will recieve “false” and the error message will be stored on the variavle “sc_mail_erro”.

Ex.4 :
sc_mail_send([glo_smtp], ‘’, ‘’, ‘from@netmake.com.br’, {to}, {subject}, {message}, ‘H’);

if ({sc_mail_ok})
{
echo “sent {sc_mail_count} e-mail(s) with sucess!!”;
}
else
{
sc_erro_mensagem({sc_mail_erro});
}

Thanks,
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Not sure if it will work, but did you try to trap the error by try…catch?

Hello Jamie and Albert.
I’m facing the same problem. The mail is not sent and I don’t have a valid error to show to user.
How did you solve this issue ??

I also searched on Application Language for ‘sc_mail_erro’ but I didn’t find anything. Is it an embedded message ?

I did also
else // No row found
{
sc_error_message({sc_mail_erro} );
sc_error_message(‘Attenzione, E-Mail del Cliente, Agente o Manager mancanti o non corrette. Verificare !’);
echo “<script type=‘text/javascript’>alert(‘Attenzione, E-Mail del Cliente, Agente o Manager mancanti o non corrette. Verificare !’);</script>”;
sc_redir(form_orders, “_parent”);
}
