RE: [PHP-DB] Sending E-Mail

2002-10-03 Thread Hutchins, Richard

FYI...

Not sure what your intentions are, but you can also send the form data from
ANY form by putting the mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] statement in the action
property of the form and using the POST method (I don't think it'll work
with GET).

You'll generate an e-mail with an attachment that contains your data in
name=value pairs and you'll have to parse through the file to get the
individual values. I tried it with one of my forms and got this in the
attached file:

docnum=6contentID=1addItem=itemList%5B%5D=0itemList%5B%5D=1itemList%5B%
5D=2submit=Submit+Query

Note: The names itemList were submitted from a multiple select object.

Whether you use the php mail() function or plain, old HTML mailto: is up to
you and your specific needs. My guess, having never used php's mail() is
that you'll get a little more functionality/flexibility from it. As always,
your mileage may vary.
