Sending an email when box is checked

[climberusa]

Ok, I've searched for a while but I can't find any examples. What I'm trying to do is have a customer fill out a form. On the form is acheckbox. If the customer checks the box I want the handler to send thema copy of the form they filled out based on the email address they provided eleswhere in the form. Currently, the handler posts all of the form info on submit so they can see what they entered.. It is also sent to a database. I'm a complete newbie and I appreciate your help.

<input type="checkbox" onclick="document.location='http://yoursite.com/mailer.php';">

in 'mailer.php' DO NOT output anything, just simply mail the user. If need be, use something like this..

Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br/>
Mail Now?: <input type="checkbox" onclick="document.location='http://yoursite.com/mailer.php?email=' + email.value;">

Maybe that will work, i'm not too sure. But you can give it a try 🙂

robert_w_ark's suggestion will redirect and send an email but since this is a form, I assume you actually want to gather the user entered data and submit it. You can do something like:

onClick="javascript:this.document.formname.Submit();"
