Need Help with mailing forms

Adrnalnrsh

I have a form that customers willl fill out, I have that info being inputed into the database, the same script that inputs that data into the database also emails me the information that they inputted. I would also like an email to be sent to them, just notifying them that I got their request. So what do I need to do?

I know I cannot add a second mail command in the one script. Do I need to write a second sript to read the data in the database and email it from there, or can I just write script that can be included in the first script that will just read the POST Vars from the form and will email them what I want?

Right now I have form.php which they fill out, which posts to order.php and that script checks all the variables to make sure they are entered, it stores the inputted data into a database and it emails me the information. Thats it.

One thing I would do is to setup my own email server to autorespond when it receives the email going to you, picking the customer's email address from the subject line. May well not be possible for you to do, very much depends on how you get your emails. I take it the customer's email is just a curtesy and has a different message to your own. You could Bcc (blind carbon-copy) them the same email, your outgoing SMTP server takes care of that for you. Tailor the message to them, it does not matter to you what it says so long as it has the data.

If you still want to generate seperate emails then pass the data to the second script through session variables. I get panned for posting code that is version specific so depending on your register globals settings and your php version tha data is or can be made available without requerying the db. Read up on the predefined variables that php provides for passing data from script to script.
