I don't get this at all, I am willing to believe not many others are either. what is it that you want exactly? Is somone offering goods on YOUR homepage? And you want to reply, or do you mean if someone browsed your site, and they clicked on a link, you want to instantaneously respond by mail to their click? What??

Please accept my apology for not making things clear.

Bascially I want to know how to develop codes that allow someone respond to someone's question/request in my website. The response should be automatically go to the person's email.

If your server has been configured properly, [man]mail/man will send mail via PHP.

Also, take a look at this page. The 'Edit' button is very useful; allows you to add/edit information without posting again.

Yes I know about mail() but can visitor email to another visitor in my server instead of using my email?

It is very similar to email. When someone want to know about product more. the buyer email the seller about the product. The seller respond the question.

And you want all of this done through your server?

Then just ask the user for the person's email address and use that in your mail() call.

Or, have the 'seller' store their e-mail address (in a database such as MySQL, though flat files COULD be used even though they are deprecated) and have your script retrieve that address.

I reckon it would be best if I store email address in SQL.

Im going to give it a try
