uh, wasn't this something that was built in, bira's "away" message hack?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...t=away+message

actually, here is part of the code, in the .txt file...

PHP Code:

=======================================================================================================
############################################# private.php #############################################
=======================================================================================================

Note: this change is optional. When a user is away, this change will send an automatic reply to anyone 
who PMs the away user, letting him know the user is away and that he will read the message only when he 
returns. If you don't want to use this option, skip this specific change.

Step 1/1.

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_pmthanks")."\",\"private.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\");");

// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2a)
  if ($touserinfo[away]=="1") {
      
      $sincedate = vbdate($dateformat, $touserinfo[awaydate]);
    if ($touserinfo[returndate]=="0000-00-00") {
        $returndate = "(date unknown)";
    } else {
          $returnaway = explode("-", $touserinfo[returndate]);
          $returndate = "on ".vbdate($dateformat, mktime(0,0,0,$returnaway[1],$returnaway[2],$returnaway[0]));
      }
      if (!$touserinfo[awayreason]) {
          $awayreason = "No reason specified";
      } else {
          $awayreason = "$touserinfo[awayreason]";
      }
      
      eval("\$autoreply = \"".gettemplate("priv_autoreply",1,0)."\";"); 
      $autotitle = "Auto Reply: ".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title));

      $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO privatemessage (privatemessageid,userid,touserid,fromuserid,title,message,dateline,showsignature,iconid,messageread,folderid,receipt) VALUES (NULL,$bbuserinfo[userid],$bbuserinfo[userid],$touserinfo[userid],'".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($autotitle))."','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($autoreply))."','".time()."',0,0,0,0,0)");
    if ($bbuserinfo[emailonpm]) {
      eval("\$emailmsg = \"".gettemplate("email_pmautoreply",1,0)."\";");
      eval("\$emailsubject = \"".gettemplate("emailsubject_pmreceived",1,0)."\";");
      mail($bbuserinfo[email],$emailsubject,$emailmsg,"From: \"$bbtitle Mailer\" <$webmasteremail>");
    }

  }
// Leave Away Message in Profile (v1.2a)
