Something like a mail form

Kaky · Post by **Kaky** » Thu May 11, 2006 2:19 pm

I wonder if it could be possible that someone onters his mail and an auto formatted mail comes to him (so i do naot have to write him anything) for example you know something like "if you like this site why not tell your friend ......."

If somenone could post a script for it i would be wery thankfull.

I would like this as well or maybe an email validation script!

Hope I understood what you are looking for...a person enters his mail id and submits it, then a mail with pre-defined content is sent to him automatically without you doing anything.

Here is a simple one,

Code: Select all

<?php
if($submitform) {
$email = $_GET['email'];
$subject = "Thanks for visiting [your website]";
$message = "
Howdy!,

Your custom message here

--
-Regards,
[your name]

This email was automatically generated.
Please do not respond to this email.";

if(!mail($email,$subject,$message, "FROM: yourname <youremail>")) {
echo("Error processing your request");
}
else {
         echo "Thank you. Your email has been added to our database.";
}
}
else {
?>
<html><body>
<form action="" method="get">
Email:<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="submitform">
</form>
</body></html>
<?
}
?>

Hope this is what you were looking for.

There is a good site where you can make e-mail forms http://www.thesitewizard.com

The code posted above has both the form and the script to send mail, just save it as a single file. Just a single form is enough...
