for all the PHP masters out there

[Anon]

I would like to make a form where a user comes to my site, enters their email address, and then have the address automaticly emailed to my address.

I have created a page where, once loaded it sends a premade email to a set address, is there a way to make the users address = $address and then make a call in the sendmail part that adds $address to the message that is sent to me.

I'm sure that this is a little confusing, partly because I'm fairly new to all this, but any help would be appreciated, Thank you.

Utilizing html forms and the php function mail() is the ticket for you. To further investigate mail() follow this link.

is there an easy way to turn the text that a user enters into a text box into say $text

and simply tell the browser to email $text to my address?

something like:
<?php
$mail_to ="[e-mail]";
$mail_subject ="new user";
$mail_body ="$text has joined";

if (mail_to, $mail_subject, $mail_body))
echo "successfully sent the e-mail /"$mail subject/" to $mail_to.";
else echo "Failed to send the message."
?>

I'm sure there are syntax problem with the code, I would be happy for anyone to point them out to me, as well as tell me if this could work, and if not how to do it in a way that will work

Thank you

There is a function called mail(), but you'll need a SMTP server to use it. Ask your host if you have one.

mail($recipient,$subject,$text);
