Ok, time to teach you the mail function in PHP. The basic syntax for the mail function is; mail(string to, string subject, string message, string [additional_headers]); So, to send an email to me, it would look like; mail("bireland@visuart-design.com", "the subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3"); Arguments: String to: The address of the person the e-mail is going to String Subject: The subject of the e-mail String message: The actual message in the e-mail [additional_headers]: These are extra's you want the e-mail to have, such as the following; "From: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME Reply-To: webmaster@$SERVER_NAME and more. Each extra header must be separated by a \n , or a newline. So, to send an email to me, it would look like; mail("bireland@visuart-design.com", "the subject", "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3", "From: you@yoursite.com\nReply-To: me@mysite.com\n); That's It!! So lets implement this into the tellus.php3 script. We will send two total e-mails, one to the person who used the form, and one to the webmaster of the site. <? PRINT "&ltcenter>&ltFONT SIZE=-1 face=verdana>"; PRINT "Greetings $name, thank you for filling out our"; PRINT "form."; PRINT "</center>&ltp>&ltcenter>&ltTABLE border=0 width=500";PRINT "cellspacing=0 cellpadding=7>"; PRINT "&ltTR>&ltTD>&ltFONT SIZE=-1 face=verdana>"; PRINT "In the form, you stated that our site"; PRINT "$status. Thank you for your input."; PRINT "We will send you more information about our site"; PRINT "in an email to $email."; PRINT "If you have any more comments, feel free to reply."; PRINT "</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE></center>"; mail("$email", "Site Information", "Hello $name,\nWe thank you again for using our form and telling \nus your option about our site\n\nThis is important to us so we can know how to improve.\n\nThank you once again."); mail("webmaster@thescripts.com", "An Opinion", "$name just used the form.\n\nThey stated that our site $opinion."); ?< Remember to save this as tellus.php3 and try it out on your site.www.webmasters-portal.net
