I have a form that i wish to send via email. When i email this form though, i want the recipient to be able to see the text boxs and now just recieve the information that has been entered into them.

the recipient gets this

name=John

What i would like them to recieve is

name [ John ]

that squared brackets show what i would like to be a visible text box. is this possible?

Thank you in advance
 
I've emailed forms before, but your user's email client has to accept html emails for it to work. You'll have to have some way to create an html message, and from there just use standard html form code. With what you're trying to do, you'll have to populate the "value" attribute of your input tags.
Code:
name = <input type="text" value="John">
Now, there's always an ongoing debate of html emails vs. text emails. For the record, I'm not saying you SHOULD do this, I'm just saying you COULD do it.

Hope This Helps!
