[PHP] form inside an email

2005-06-14 Thread Ross
Hi,

I would like to send a form to customers to get some information.

The form will be a HTML email and collect a few bits of data...name. age 
etc.

Can I put this inside an html email so customers do not have to open an 
external webpage to fill in the fields. How can this then be processed?

If this can be done in php then great. If not any other suggestions are 
welcome.

Doesn't this work?:
inside your email:
form ... action=http://yoursite.com/yourpage.php;
input ... name=var1
input ... name=var2
/form

yourpage.php:
?php if(isset($_POST)):
// process the input
endif; ?

Do you need your PHP script to generate the email and send it, or are you
just asking if the form in the email can be submitted to and processed by a
PHP script?  In either case the answer is yes.  If the former, the example
in the manual for 'mail()' will send you in the right direction, if the
latter simply make the form target= http://www.example.com/yourscript.php.

Looks like you've already gotten answers, but I wanted to mention that
forms in HTML email are a big spam flag. If you're mailing to a large
group or to certain domains/spam handlers, you may easily get flagged
for bulk mail.

I think you will find as a security measure most e-mail clients will
not submit a web form.
