Re: [PHP] Automatically generated emails
Ravi Gogna is quoted as saying on 8/29/2005 1:53 PM: This is probably a really simple question, but I can't work out what to write! I've written a fairly standard HTML form and I would like an email to be generated as soon as the user clicks 'Submit'. Can you help?! Sure, but what do you want the email to say? I mean, it could be such that when they click submit it sends them a BOGO email where they can get two-fers of information, but then, why did they click submit in the first place? The answer is, it is REALLY simple to send email (even more so if the mail server is set correctly in the ini file and on the same system), but without more information, can't really help you except to point you to the manual or Google.

[snip] Nice to know that newbies are well looked after on these lists.

You asked, Can you help?!. The answer to that is either yes, no, or maybe.

LOL. They could have opened up their browser window and performed the following: http://www.google.com/search?hl=enq=php+send+email+after+form+submitbtnG=Google+Search But I think they were trying to suggest that you 1. do the same, or 2. ask a more specific question. kgt Ravi Gogna wrote: Nice to know that newbies are well looked after on these lists.

Re: [PHP] Automatically generated emails
The thing is that we do want to help. We want everyone to have as positive experience as possible with PHP, and I've personally spent hours in the past helping people with their various PHP Problems, both on this list and elsewhere, so you'll understand if I take issue with your suggestions. Most of us here on the PHP list, and particularly the majority of those who have responded to this post are in the habit of bending over backwards to help people out... BUT: We need something to work with, and you haven't given us much. You need to give us WAY more information. What part of generating the email are you having problems with? Are you for example having problems getting the information from the form, in your PHP script? Are you having problems getting the mail() function to work? Are you having problems getting the text into the format that you want it in? You've asked a very broad question, and unless you can focus it down a bit, then all we can do is either ask you for clarification, or direct you to the PHP manual. In this case, I would direct you to the pages for predetermined variables(in this case $_GET and $_POST), sprintf, and mail www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get , www.php.net/sprintf , and www.php.net/mail It would take a very long answer, and a waste of ours and the manual writers time if we simply rewrote what was already in the manual. Having that said, feel free at any stage to ask us for clarification of something you don't understand, but we request that you make some reasonable effort to solve your own problems before jumping to the list.

Stop top-posting. ;) Seriously, however - as others have suggested, http://www.php.net/mail should get you well on your way. Use the manual as your number one reference. If you cannot figure it out using that, then resort to the list. You're more than welcome to write to the list at any point in time, however, if you do a bit of research first, it will save a considerable amount of time for both you and us.
