Email Sending argument

HI all.Have moved over to 2025 and am having an issue with an old email sending code.in the server events and client scripts the following code is shown.

function Email_Sending($email, $args) {
    // var_dump($email, $args);
    // exit();
    if (CurrentPageID() == "add") { // If Add page
        $email->Recipient = $args["rsnew"]["MyEmailField"]; // Change recipient to a field value in the new record
        $email->Subject = "My New Subject"; // Change subject
        $email->Content .= "<p>Added by " . CurrentUserName() . "</p>"; // Append additional content
    }
    return true;
}

How has the version change to $oldRow and $newRow affected the above? Is it now as below:

function Email_Sending($email, $args) {
    // var_dump($email, $args);
    // exit();
    if (CurrentPageID() == "add") { // If Add page
        $email->Recipient = $args["newRow"]["MyEmailField"]; // Change recipient to a field value in the new record
        $email->Subject = "My New Subject"; // Change subject
        $email->Content .= "<p>Added by " . CurrentUserName() . "</p>"; // Append additional content
    }
    return true;
}

  1. Your code should be converted by PHPMaker when you open your old project.
  2. The argument depends on which Email_Sending event (fired in which page). If your code does not work, you may also try $args[“new”]. You may also check by var_dump($args). Also read Changes of Some Event Names and Argument Names.
