form to MySQL & Email

[philiporourke]

I am new to PHP and need some help with an form mail problem.
I have a user registration form with 8 fields. When users register I submit the reults to a database. I also want to be able to send a confirmation email to the user and an administrator.

Basically i know how to get a form to submit data to MySQL and I know how email the contents of a form seperately . But how do i get a form to do both?

separate each piece out into functions and then just call the functions

if ($_POST['submit']){ //check to see if the submit was hit
   //if not then show the form
   show_form();
}else{
   //send email
   do_email();

   //send data to database
   do_db_stuff();
}

function show_form()
{

//code for form goes here

}

function do_email()
{
//code for email goes here

mail ($to, $subject, $body, $from);

}

function do_db_stuff()
{
//database load goes here

}
