sendSelfMessage() allows you to dynamically send message (one-way) from a particular user. This message will only appear in the senders chat box screen.

The API

The $to is the user’s ID of the chat box and not the user to whom this message is being sent.

sendSelfMessage($to,$message);

Sample Code

This function is ideally used in plugins to inform the user of activity completion. The sender will only receive the same message.

include_once (cometchat/cometchat_init.php);
sendSelfMessage($toID,"has successfully sent Pizza request.");
