Copy of guestbook entry emailed

[Aziza]

I'm very new to PHP and I have downloaded an PHP guestbook which work perfect. But I would like to receive an email every time someone post a new entrie, however that function isn't available. Is there a way that I can add that function to the guestbook?

Send the code that associates with the guest entry being added.

Don't know if this is what you mean (remember I'm a newbie S) but here it comes:

<?require ("./inc/settings.php");
$conn_gb = mysql_connect("$server", "$anvandare", "$losen");

$action = $_GET['action'];

if ($action == "add"){
$namn = $POST["namn"];
$mail = $POST["mail"];
$url = $POST["url"];
If ($url){
If (substr(strtolower($url),0,7) == "http://"){
$url = $url;
}else{
$url = "http://".$url;
}
}
$rubrik = $POST["rubrik"];
$msg = $_POST["msg"];
$msg = str_replace('"', "&quot;", $msg);
$msg = nl2br($msg);
$ip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$datum = time();
$sql = "Insert Into gastbok(namn,mail,url,rubrik,msg,ip,datum) Values('$namn','$mail','$url','$rubrik','$msg','$ip','$datum')";
//echo "SQL: $sql <br>";
mysql_db_query($databas,$sql) or die(mysql_error());?>
<script>location.href='gastbok.php';</script>
<?}else{?>

And this is the post action in the form field:

<form method="post" action="../Gastbok/gastbok.php?action=add" name="gastbok" onSubmit="return Gb()">

$rubrik = $_POST["rubrik"]; 
$msg = $_POST["msg"]; 
$msg = str_replace('"', """, $msg); 
$msg = nl2br($msg); 
$ip = $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['REMOTE_ADDR']; 
$datum = time(); 
$sql = "Insert Into gastbok(namn,mail,url,rubrik,msg,ip,datum) Values('$namn','$mail','$url','$rubrik','$msg','$i
p','$datum')"; 
//echo "SQL: $sql <br>"; 
mysql_db_query($databas,$sql) or die(mysql_error());


$message = "Your message you wish to see when email is sent";
$subject = "New Guestbook Entry";
$youremail = "[e-mail]";
mail($youremail,$subject,$message,$mail);
?> 

Please use [php ][/php ] without the gaps next time.

Thankyou SO much! Very much appreciated! :-) Works like a charm :-)

My last question: When I receive the email it's from "Nobody" is there a way of adding the one (with his/hers email adress) who wrote the entrie instead?

Change the $mail var to what ever is used as the email.

Now I feel like an airhead, sorry.... but could you be a little more specific? I'm so new to this... trying to learn.

$To="[e-mail]";
if ($subject & $email & $message){
	$headers="From:".$email."\r\nX-Reply-To:".$email."\r\nReply-To:".$email."\r\nTo:".$To;
	$message=$email." has sent you a message\n".str_repeat('-',72)."\n".$message;
	mail($To,$subject,$message,$headers);

You have to build a header first if you want the email client to see all that like who from and who to reply to. The above is from a simple email example I did for a flash form.
