[PHP] Newbie Mail() Question...
Is there a way to have an email sent to a specified email address either when a page is accessed, or when a file is downloaded? Maybe I should just be logging the info into a table? Basically, I am trying to set up a secure site that would send the sysadmin an email when a file has been downloaded with reference to the page title and/or filename. I have a feeling that this may be a bit too complicated for a newbie like me... ...Suggestions?

Er yea - just call the mail() function at the appropriate time in your script... http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php However IMO if you need to log this sort of information then using a database is far more appropriate than sending emails - especially on a busy site...

[PHP] Newbie mail () question
I have just built a simple formmail script that validates certain fields and then if alls well mails the information to the client's email addressand displays some confirmatin html. This is all fine except for one minor issue. When I collect the email to check it looks OK etc the header From : in Outlook Express gives the www.servername.com Can I personalise this a bit to display the From: as the email address that the user has supplied i.e $Email I'm v. new to this so any help appreciated!

It's all in the manual. http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php See Example #2. -- S. Keller UI Engineer The Health TV Channel, Inc. (a non - profit organization) 3820 Lake Otis Pkwy.
