Need some help auto-PMing a user

[Link14716]

Here's the function in uShop 0.96 (which will be released "soon"):

PHP Code:

// Send a PM.
function uttstore_send_pm($title, $text, $user, $from=0) {
    global $DB_site, $bbuserinfo, $vboptions;

    if ($from == 0) {
        $from = $bbuserinfo;
    }
    
    if ($from == "default") {
        $from = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."user WHERE userid=$vboptions[uttstore_pmfrom]");
    }
    
    $title = str_replace(" ", " ", $title);
    $text = str_replace(" ", " ", $text);
    
    if (isset($user[0]['userid'])) {
        // Sending to multiple.
        foreach ($user as $omguser) {
            $tostring["$omguser[userid]"] = $omguser['username'];
        }
    } else {
        // Sending to one.
        $tostring["$user[userid]"] = $user['username'];
    }

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pmtext\n\t(fromuserid, fromusername, title, message, touserarray, iconid, dateline, showsignature, allowsmilie)\nVALUES\n\t($from[userid], '" . addslashes($from['username']) . "', '$title', '".addslashes($text)."', '" . addslashes(serialize($tostring)) . "', 0, " . TIMENOW . ", 0, 1)");
    $pmtextid = $DB_site->insert_id();

    if (isset($user[0]['userid'])) {
        // Sending to multiple.
        foreach ($user as $omguser) {
            (isset($pmquery) ? $pmquery .= ",\n\t" : $pmquery = '');
            $pmquery .= "($pmtextid, $omguser[userid])";
            (isset($in) ? $in .= ",$omguser[userid]" : $in = $omguser['userid']);
        }
    } else {
        $pmquery .= "($pmtextid, $user[userid])";
        $in = $user['userid'];
    }

    $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pm (pmtextid, userid) VALUES $pmquery");
    $DB_site->shutdown_query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET pmtotal=pmtotal+1, pmunread=pmunread+1 WHERE userid IN ($in)");

} 


$title and $text should be the title and body of the message respectively, $user can either be an array of a username and userid, or an array of arrays of usernames and userids if you are sending to multiple people ($user['userid'] and $user['username'] or $user[0]['userid'] and so on). $from should be a username/userid array of the user you want the PM to be from, or if it is not set, it defaults to $bbuserinfo. It also has a $from = "default" code in there which could be used, but you might want to change the setting it looks for.
