RE: [PHP-DB] Re: send email
Hi This is PHP code and will be parsed by the webserver before being send out to the browser. All that is displayed in the browser is the non PHP stuff. So the email address is in the source code of the php page but when you click 'view source' in your browser you won't see it.

Thanks to all for the input. I will attempt to make this work. I am not a programmer but like to hack around when I can.

RE: [PHP-DB] Re: send email
Hello!!
Sorry I missed you first post.
But you want an auto-email sent out after someone inserts data into the
database, Right??
And of course you want this to be transparent as much as you can.
So do your insert statements to the database then using an IF-ELSE statement
to check if the insert was successful, then in the IF statement-send your
email.
Like this...
Blah blah blah
$result = mysql_query ($query, $db) or
Die (Mysql_error());
$row_insert = Mysql_affected_rows();
If ($row_insert == 0){
Echo Sorry you Insert statement was unsuccessful...Please try
again;
}else{
$CC = \[EMAIL PROTECTED];
$text .= This Automatic Email is to inform you that you insert
worked!!.\n;
$text .= \n;
$text .= Thank you... ;
$subject = Auto-email;
$header = From: $CC\nReply-To: $CC\n;
$header .= Cc: $CC\n;
$header .= MIME-Version: 1.0\n;
$header .= Content-Type: text/plain\n;
$header .= Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bnoit\n\n;
$header .= $text\n;
mail($To, $subject, , $header);
}
That should do it!!
And of course you should send some kind of feedback to the user, so they now
it worked as well.
I hope this helps. I know there are better ways of doing this, functions or
classes. But this is quick.
Good luck!
