sending mail in magento

Question

How to send email in magento writing an action in index controller?

my index controller;

public function postAction()
{           

    $post = $this         


        

Answer 1

It looks like there are a few problems with the way you are calling sendTransactional(). First off, $templateId is not defined, it looks like you've actually stored the template id in $emailId. Also, $sender, $email, and $name are undefined. You can try something like this:

->sendTransactional($emailId, 'general', $post['email'], "Need a send to name here")

This is only going to work if you are getting a valid template id back from your call to getStoreConfig(). You'll also need to set the last name param correctly.

There could be other issues, but that's what I noticed with a quick glance anyway.
