If that's not enabled on your server, and can't be, but you have access to an SMTP server somewhere, http://phpclasses.org/ has several fine PHP mailing objects. Oh, and you may want to read the PHP FAQ, especially the part about using $_POST to snatch all the POST data in a few lines of code. Very handy. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] email form results
Assemble all of your data into the message body (see $message below) and mail it to yourself. How you trigger this processing and the call to the mail() function depends on how you've constructed your logic. $message .= $name ."\n"; $message .= $phone . "\n"; $message .= $email; mail( "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", "Free Trial Request", $message, "From: $email" ); One logic construct is for the form's ACTION to call itself, like so: IF $email is NOT set display the form and to record the information ELSEIF test for critical fields being empty displaying a message if they are and a reload button ELSE to the code above display Thanks & we'll be in touch, or whatever.
