CakePHP - send mails - php

Question

I hav run into a problem - I am not that familiar with cakephp - but I have taken over a project (A webshop project) - and now I have a bit of a problem - I have a field (tracking id for the package) which writes to DB - that works great - but here is the trouble - when I click the button and save the tracking number to the DB - I wan't the system to send an email to the customer with the tracking id.
I can get the system to send a mail - but there is no tracking number on so I guess the email is send before the DB i updated.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction
public function send($order_id = null, $is_resolved = true)
{
if($this->request->is('post'))
{
$this->Order->id = $this->request->data['Order']['id'];
$this->Order->saveField('state', 'resolved');
$this->Order->saveField('date_resolved', date('Y-m-d H:i:s'));
$this->Order->saveField('delivery_label', $this->request->data['Order']['delivery_label']);
$this->Session->setFlash('Ordren er nu sat til "Sendt".'.$this->Session->read('Message.success.message'), null, array(), 'success');
$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'orders', 'action' => 'index'));
}
$order = $this->Order->find('first', array('conditions' => array('Order.id' => $order_id, 'Order.state' => 'packed'), 'recursive' => 4));
// Does the item exist?
if(empty($order))
{
// Tell the user this item did not exist
$this->Session->setFlash('Ordren findes ikke.'.$this->Session->read('Message.warning.message'), null, array(), 'warning');
return $this->redirect($this->referer());
}
if($is_resolved) {
// Send the email receipt
$Email = new CakeEmail('receipt');
$Email->to($order['Customer']['email_address']);
$Email->template('receipt_send')->viewVars( array('order' => $order));
$Email->send();
}
$this->set('order', $order);
}
Here is the receipt_send code

Answer 1

Got it to work by creating a controller and make a button to the information.... Works like a charm.
