PHP node helper functions

If you are using PHP nodes you can include phpHelperfunctions.php to provide a number of key, useful FunnelFlux functions.

You can include this by adding this to the start of your PHP snippet:

require_once 'PHPNodeHelpers.php';

The functions available are after this are:

  • PHPNodeHelpers::accumulateParam($key, $value)

  • PHPNodeHelpers::loadAccumulatedParams()

  • PHPNodeHelpers::saveAccumulatedParams($params)

  • PHPNodeHelpers::loadTrackingFields()

  • PHPNodeHelpers::updateTrackingFields($fields)

  • PHPNodeHelpers::sendMail($config);

These do the following:

  • accumulateParam will add specified key/value pairs to the Accumulated URL Params buffer

  • loadAccumulatedParams will load the Accumulated URL Params buffer as an array

  • saveAccumulatedParams will save and replace the current URL Parmas buffer with whatever is in the specified array

  • loadTrackingFields will load all tracking field data available for the current visitor

  • updateTrackingFields will update any custom tracking fields for the current visitor to the values specified (the tracking fields must however exist)

  • sendMail allows to send emails through an SMTP server of your choice. The config array to pass to the function requires the following entries:

    PHPNodeHelpers::sendMail( [ ‘to’ => ‘you@you.com’, ‘email-subject’ => ‘Open this now’, ‘email-body’ => ‘The html email content’, ‘smtp-configuration’ => [    ‘server’ => ‘your-smtp.server.com’,    ‘port’ => ‘port number’,    ‘secure’ => ‘ssl’,    ‘username’ => ‘username to smtp service’,    ‘password’ => ‘password to smtp service’,    ‘from-name’ => ‘Me’,    ‘from-email’ => ‘me@me.com’, ] ] );
