Face-to-face (plugin)

Ok so this is my first attempt at creating a patch for the Face-to-Face module to send out an email to the student when they are marked as attending a Face-to-Face class.

If you use the lib.php file attached to this post you will need to add 2 strings to the file /mod/facetoface/lang/en_utf8/facetoface.php

String1 named "classattendedemailsubject"
String2 named "classattendedemailbody"

I left those out because they contain some site specific information but they are the email subject line and body so you can customize them to meet your needs.

Please feel free to suggest any changes or clean up the code as this is really my first endeavor into PHP as well, you won't hurt my feelings.

Everything I added is between commented lines:
Start of my code: //--------------------DRE August 21--------------------\\
End of my code: //-----------------------DRE---------------------------\\
