Is this even POSSIBLE with PHP???

Anon

I don't even know if this is possible:

Visitor sees my php page. It has many javascript input boxes, where the visitor can enter quantities. Entering quantities automatically updates the "grand total" input box. (this happens "on-the-fly" WITHOUT any submitting)

When the visitor is all done, they can print my page as a packing slip.

Here's what I would LIKE to do:

Have a button on the bottom of my page that says, "Would you like this entire html page emailed to you? Enter your email address and click this button." And, of course, there would be a textarea and a submit button.

Is this even possible? If it is, and the script is simple, would you be kind enough to post it for me?
..........

One potential problem I see regards the Javascript: As the visitor enters quantities, the Javascript on the page updates the page (i.e. 1 widget at 5 dollars = 5 dollars. If the visitor types in a quantity "2" widgets, the page will display 10 dollars).

My Javascript works fine; it's just that I'm wondering if it is possible to actually email the entire html page after the visitor has changed the quantities.

Thank you!!

sure, but you would need to submit the page to obtain all the variables (items and quantities) and then create an email.

you can redo the calcs to print out the totals...

Yes, when the visitor enters their email address, and clicks the button, THAT will submit the page, and that will be fine...

But what would the code be?????? can you type it and post it please?

Make it all the same form, so when the user submits, it will submit all the values, even if the user changed them. Then you use mail() to mail the stuff...

Sorry... but I don't just want to mail the values, as in:
mail("visitor@visitor.com","$bunch_of_values");

I want to mail the whole html page. What is the format?

is it something like:
<?php
mail ($url something);
?>

or what?

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: Me\r\n";

$email_contents = "

mail("someone@hotmail.com", "My Email", $email_contents, $headers)

All this assumes of course that the user's email client can render HTML and knows HTTP as well as email.
