Click and send mail to user using A-Frame and php - php

Question

I want to send email by clicking on button using aframe. I did something but that does not work. Here is working flow.
I have database and I am getting user email form database.
Here is html:
<a-plane id="information-button" name="button-press" class="clickable"
position="6 -4.845 3" rotation="0 -30 0" width="3" height="1" color="#000">
<a-text value="More Info" position="-0.946 0.077 0.349" scale="2 2 2">
</a-text>
</a-plane>
Here is email.php to send the email.
<?php
include('server.php');
session_start();
?>
<?php
if (isset($_POST['button-press'])) {
require "PHPMailer/src/PHPMailer.php";
require "PHPMailer/src/OAuth.php";
require "PHPMailer/src/SMTP.php";
require "PHPMailer/src/POP3.php";
require "PHPMailer/src/Exception.php";
require 'PHPMailer/src/PHPMailerAutoload.php';
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\PHPMailer;
use PHPMailer\PHPMailer\Exception;
if (isset($_SESSION['email'])){
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . '\r\n';
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . '\r\n';
$message = '<p><strong>You are in.</strong></p>';
$subj = 'More Information';
$to = 'falak#oddly.co';
$from = 'falaksabbir3#gmail.com';
define('GUSER', 'falaksabbir3#gmail.com'); // GMail username
define('GPWD', '******');
define('SMTPUSER', 'falaksabbir3#gmail.com'); // sec. smtp username
define('SMTPPWD', '******'); // sec. password
define('SMTPSERVER', 'smtp.gmail.com'); // sec. smtp server
//send mail
if ( smtpmailer($to, $from, $name, $subj, $message,$headers)){
echo 'Message send via Gmail';
} else {
if (!smtpmailer($to, $from, $name, $subj, $message,$headers)){
if (!empty($error)) echo $error;
} else {
echo 'Yep, the message is send (after doing some hard work)';
}
}
//send email function
function smtpmailer($to, $from, $from_name, $subject, $body, $is_gmail = true) {
global $error;
$mail = new PHPMailer();
$mail->IsSMTP();
$mail->SMTPAuth = true;
if ($is_gmail) {
$mail->SMTPSecure = 'ssl';
$mail->Host = 'ssl://smtp.gmail.com';
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->Username = GUSER;
$mail->Password = GPWD;
}
else {
$mail->Host = SMTPSERVER;
$mail->Username = SMTPUSER;
$mail->Password = SMTPPWD;
}
$mail->SetFrom($from, $from_name);
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->Body = $body;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->AddAddress($to);
if(!$mail->Send()) {
$error = 'Mail error: '.$mail->ErrorInfo;
return false;
} else {
$error = 'Message sent!';
return true;
}
}
}}
?>
So this is how I did. Can I do php with aframe? Or any guidelines with this.

Answer 1

Yes you can do PHP with A-Frame.
Currently though your A-Frame code does not interact with your PHP code. You want your action (in VR or not) to call the server. I suggest to :
make the send action work by just visiting the page
make sure it works without VR, for example using a simple HTML button How to Call a PHP Function on the Click of a Button
finally make it work with VR and A-Frame probably using the cursor and a bit of JavaScript https://aframe.io/docs/0.8.0/components/cursor.html#example
