email form

[janet24]

I'm sending a form using php. I want to send an receipt email to an email address that is entered in the form. It doesn't seem to work to just add a varible name that is filled out in the form and add it to toaddress.
How would you do it then...

$toaddress = $emailaddress;

If I'm understanding you correctly., then you need to use the POST variable to access your form data.

$toaddress=$_POST['emailaddress'];

assuming your form's method is POSt, if not you can use the GET variable

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Yes, thanks. How do you send it to an email address AND an email address from the form?

You can use the mail function.

http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

mail($to,$subject,$message);

or PHPmailer if you want more control over what you send.
