Sending an Email to confirm registration details

Mel

Hi,

I have designed a page that collects registration data eg. email, first name, web address, username etc, etc

Which works fine and info is stored into the database, what I would like to do is send the person registering, a copy of the details that they have just filled out... so they have a copy of their username etc can this be done on the same page?

So when they hit the submit button they are emailed a copy of what they have just entered.

It would also be useful if I could also send a copy to myself...so I know when new users have signed up

If anybody has any suggestions as to ho this can be done that would be great

Regards
Mel

I have done something similiar with my feedback form, you may be able to get an idea from it by my example, here is the code I created for it;


<?php

if (!isset($submit)) {

echo("

<html>

<head>
<title>Barnsley Club - Feedback</title>
<link href='images/style.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
</head>
<body>

<center>
<table class='table' align='center' width='485' border='0' cellpadding='20' cellspacing='0'>
<tr><td>

<div align='justify'>

<center><font class='header'>Barnsley Club Feedback</font></center><br>

It might seem a bit complicated but you'll see what I've done with the variables from the user inputted information, pay attention to the 2nd mail function.

I haven't upgraded this to html e-mail yet, I know how to do it, it's just getting round to it <G>

In the same section where you store the values in the database add the calls to the mail function, one call to you and another call to the client's email.

I work in a company where some clients wish to put a form linked from their banners, the problem was that everytime a new client need a page I had to create the table for that data and modify the script to handle the new fields.

What I did was:

The webmaster of the company assigns to a hidden field a concatenation of all the fields she wants in the database and the email, also if she wants a confirmation or not or if the form uploads any file, all settings in hidden fields.
My script explodes that field in pairs value=data, stores it in a table ordered by the client and form id key and then process any file sended with it and send the emails using the mail function.

It's a little messy but had worked so far, if you want it write me and I would send you the code.

Greetings,

Ken
