Sounds like a good plan, but if this is outside a firewall on the open internet, it could present some security risks. I'll assume for the moment that it's not.
If your script that sends the email can store the information from the form into the database and assign it a unique number, then your hotlink on the email only needs to have the number. My expectation would be, that after giving this some thought you will decide you need the person receiving the email to have the ability to change some of the data on the email. Another approach might be to send an email alert that contains a url to a page that presents a list of pending requests, and your user could then authorize several at once. I also know you can send an email form in html (you can google for help on this one), but I am not sure if the form can post the data, perhaps if the person receiving email is using outlook, don't know. Hope this stimulates a few more options, Warren Vail -----Original Message----- From: Aaron Todd [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 03, 2004 10:08 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] running a script The program I am working on so far will take input from a form and email it out. This information needs to be verified by a human and then somehow the human that verifys the info needs to click some link in order to for all that data to be entered into an SQL database. I was thinking of somehow having a link in the email so when I click on it, it runs a script that will enter all my info into the database. Any help/suggestions is appreciated.
