What I've done is I set up an INPUT box on the site, where you type in your
e-mail address. Upon hitting submit, I query the database looking for the
persons e-mail address. If it's there, I send it to them, if not I inform
them that they aren't in the database. This is the code I use for
http://www.sohh.com/wireless
Hope this helps.
if ($email) {
$db = "vb114";
include("../application_db_connect.php");
$query_checkemail = "SELECT user.* FROM user WHERE user.email = '$email'";
$result_checkemail = mysql_query($query_checkemail);
if (!$result_checkemail) {
echo("Error performing query: " . mysql_error());
exit;
}
$recordcount_checkemail = mysql_num_rows($result_checkemail);
if ($recordcount_checkemail) {
while($row_checkemail = mysql_fetch_array($result_checkemail)) {
$username = $row_checkemail["username"];
$password = $row_checkemail["password"];
$mail_to = trim($email);
$mail_headers = "From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]\r\nReply-to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]";
$mail_subject = "Your login details for SOHH.com:";
$mail_body .= "Username = $username\n";
$mail_body .= "Password = $password\n\n";
$mail_body .= "Don't forget that they are case sensitive!\n\n";
$mail_body .= "To sign up to SOHH Wireless, go to:\n";
$mail_body .= "http://www.upoc.com/sohh/\n\n";;
$mail_body .= "Yours,\n\n";
$mail_body .= "SOHH.com Team\n\n";
mail($mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body, $mail_headers);
$message = "<p>Your e-mail address, <b>$email</b>, is already
in our
database. This means you are already a member of SOHH.com and can join SOHH

}
} else {
$message = "<p>Your e-mail address, <b>$email</b>, is not in our
