Sending E-Mail with forms and PHP

[aeko]

If anyone can tell me how to accomplish this or direct me to a link which would tell me, that'd be great.

Example: When a user clicks the Submit button, the information they entered is sent to a PHP file which parses it, sends them a confirmation email, sends the form data to a email address I specify and then the user's browser goes to php page thanking them for emailing bla bla

The values in your <input>-fields can be sent with your email with the mail() function. Example:

echo "<form action='xx.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='text' name='test' size='12'>";
echo "<input type='submit' name='sub' value='send me!'>";
echo "</form>";

if($sub){
   $emess = " Message: $test			
   $ehead = "From: Webmaster survey\\r\\n";          

   $subject = "You have a new php-mail message";
     $mailsend = mail ("email@receivers_adress.com","$subject","$emess","$ehead");
}    

This is written pretty on the fly, so I'm sure there are better ways. Read up on the
mail()-function
