Hi,

Have a form on a webpage with various fields. All i need to do is send the information to an email address when someone submits it.
How easy is it to do and can someone help......not using a database just sending to an email address

This is the basis of my form

<form name="theForm" method="post" action=test.php">

<select name="title">
<option value="Mr"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Mr</font></option>
<option value="Mrs"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Mrs</font></option>

<option value="Ms"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Ms</font></option>
<option value="Dr"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Dr</font></option>
<option value="Prof"><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Prof</font></option>
</select>

<input type="text" name="fullname" size="50">
<input name="age" type="text" id="age" size="5" maxlength="2">
<textarea name="address" cols="35" wrap="PHYSICAL" rows="7"></textarea>
<input name="fan" type="checkbox" id="fan" value="checkbox">

</form>

Use mail() to send your email. Simply populate the to, subject and any additional headers in the script and use $_POST superglobal array to concate your mail body from the submitted form fields.

Important: you need the class.phpmailer.php source. You can download it from

http://www.php.net

I didn't know one could get PHPMailer from the PHP site. I've always gone to

http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net

If you just need a small Mail you also could use the function

bool mail(string to, string subject, string message [, string additional_headers])

for this. PHP-Mailer seems to be a little bit oversized for this rather small requirement, don't you think?

While on the subject of mail, is there any well documented examples for html mail with attachments .. its baffling the **** outta me .
