Magento How to send a mail to a custom person after Place order

I tried below code in observer.php but it's not working

 <?php 

class Manoj_Customemail_Model_Observer
 public function customMail($event)
 
 $order = $event->getOrder();
 //add your mail send code here

 $html="put your html content here blah blah";
$mail = Mage::getModel('core/email');
$mail->setToName('Your Name');
$mail->setToEmail('mymail@gmail.com');
$mail->setBody('Mail Text / Mail Content');
$mail->setSubject('Mail Subject');
$mail->setFromEmail('Sender Mail Id');
$mail->setFromName("Msg to Show on Subject");
$mail->setType('html');// YOu can use Html or text as Mail format

try 
$mail->send();

 

confix.xml

 <?xml version="1.0"?>
 <config>
 <modules>
 <Manoj_Customemail>
 <version>0.1.0</version>
 </Manoj_Customemail>
 </modules>
 <global>
 <helpers>
 <customemail>
 <class>Manoj_Customemail_Helper</class>
 </customemail>
 </helpers>

 <models>
 <customemail>
 <class>Manoj_Customemail_Model</class>
 </customemail>
 </models>



 <events>
 <sales_order_place_after>
 <observers>
 <sales_order_observer>
 <type>singleton</type>
 <class>Manoj_Customemail_Model_Observer</class>
 <method>customMail</method>
 </sales_order_observer>
 </observers>
 </sales_order_place_after>
 </events>

 </global>
 </config> 

After Place order it redirect to cart page

You need to observe below event

 <events>
 <sales_order_place_after>
 <observers>
 <sales_order_observer>
 <type>singleton</type>
 <class>Namespace_Modulename_Model_Observer</class>
 <method>customMail</method>
 </sales_order_observer>
 </observers>
 </sales_order_place_after>
 </events>

Create your observer as below:

class Namespace_Modulename_Model_Observer
 public function customMail($event)
 
 $order = $event->getOrder();
 //add your mail send code here

 

You can create a simple magento extension that contains an observer on sales_order_place_after event and then you can use zend_mail to send a custom email. Something like

$fromEmail = "from@example.com"; // sender email address
$fromName = "John Doe"; // sender name

$toEmail = "to@example.com"; // recipient email address
$toName = "Mark Doe"; // recipient name

$body = "This is Test Email!"; // body text
$subject = "Test Subject"; // subject text

$mail = new Zend_Mail(); 

$mail->setBodyText($body);

$mail->setFrom($fromEmail, $fromName);

$mail->addTo($toEmail, $toName);

$mail->setSubject($subject);

try 
 $mail->send();

catch(Exception $ex) 
 // I assume you have your custom module. 
 // If not, you may keep 'customer' instead of 'yourmodule'.
 Mage::getSingleton('core/session')
 ->addError(Mage::helper('yourmodule')
 ->__('Unable to send email.'));

This could be a quick fix but I recommend to create a custom email template in magento. Maybe Inchoo's custom email template post can get you started
