I'm sharing the following in case anyone needs a method to send an email containing survey responses. My solution is pretty basic. You need to pass the API the survey ID and the email address to send the results to.
If anyone feels inspired to enhance this to send the response data as an Excel attachment, hey, I won't complain!
Code:
<?php
// Note you might need to update with the full path
require_once 'jsonRPCClient.php';
// update the following with info relevant to your account
define( 'LS_BASEURL', 'https://survey.example.com');
define( 'LS_USER', 'admin' );
define( 'LS_PASSWORD', 'password' );
// gets the surveyID form the API call
$iSurveyID = $_GET["iSurveyID"];
// gets the To email address from the API call
$to = $_GET["SendTo"];
// Instantiate a new RPC client
$myJSONRPCClient = new jsonRPCClient( LS_BASEURL.'/index.php/admin/remotecontrol' );
// Get a session key
$sSessionKey= $myJSONRPCClient->get_session_key( LS_USER, LS_PASSWORD );
if(is_array($sSessionKey)) { // Invalid session
echo $sSessionKey['status'];
}
else if($sSessionKey) { // Valid session
$surveyResponses = $myJSONRPCClient->export_responses($sSessionKey, $iSurveyID, 'json', null, 'completed', 'code', 'short', null, null, null);
if(is_array($surveyResponses)) {
// Oops, print any errors
print_r($surveyResponses);
}
else {
// Decode the retuned base-64 string and convert to an array
$decodedString = base64_decode($surveyResponses);
$aResponses = json_decode($decodedString, True);
// Email Responses:
// Find the first response ID
$aFirstResponse = reset($aResponses['responses'][0]);
$eBody = '<html><body>';
$eBody = '<table style="border-collapse: collapse; text-align: left;">';
$eBody .= '<tr>';
// Insert column headers
foreach($aFirstResponse as $key => $value) {
$eBody .= '<th style="border: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 2px 7px;">'.$key .'</th>';
}
$eBody .= '</tr>';
foreach($aResponses['responses'] as $key => $row) {
$eBody .= '<tr>';
// Insert the data
foreach(reset($row) as $key => $item) {
$eBody .= '<td style="border: 1px solid #CCC; padding: 2px 7px;">'.$item .'</td>';
}
$eBody .= '</tr>';
}
$eBody .= '</table></body></html>';
// Uncomment if you want to see output in web browser
//echo $eBody;
// Comment following out if you just want results displayed in browser
$subject = 'Response Export';
$headers = "From: <noreply> noreply@example.com" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: ". strip_tags($_POST['req-email']) . "\r\n";
$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1\r\n";
mail($to, $subject, $eBody, $headers);
}
}
// Release the session key
$myJSONRPCClient->release_session_key( $sSessionKey );
?>
