Adding email response to my form

[pweden]

I need to add an email response that goes back to the user based on which option they selected from the form. Can some one help? Thanks.

This is the portion of the form I need to base the email response from:

<INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="email">

                        Which product would you like to download?
                          select name="req_download" size="1">
                        <option selected></option>
                            <option>ROLL CALL Church Management</option>
                            <option>Honor Roll Nonprofit Fundraising</option>
                            <option>Online Bible</option>
                            <option>Bible Maps</option>
                            <option>Other</option>
                            </select></p>

This is my current reply form code:

Hi,

Not sure what you mean? Could you echo the $req_download into the email message

[pweden]

Currently, the form redirects to another page, a downloads page, which works fine. What I want is to also send the user an email with an HTML message (Thanks for downloading.....you can contact us at in [e-mail]......). Thier email address is a required field ($email). I'm very new to PHP so I don't quite understand the coding to do this.

Hi,

I'm a novice, but this works for me

/ recipients /
$to = "<" . $email .">";

/ subject /
$subject = "Order Confirmation";

/ message /
/ top of message /
$message = "

blah
blah
blah

$message .= "

/ headers /
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <[e-mail]>\r\n";
$headers .= "Cc: <[e-mail]>\r\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP / ".phpversion()."\r\n";

/ mail it /
mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

Hope this helps!!!

Where do I place this code? Below my current code?

[Rodney_H_]

I would think you might place the code before you redirect the user, so before this line of code:

header("Location: http://216.121.255.74/ude6e5.php"); / Redirect browser /

That way you will send the email out (1st) and then redirect user to another page.

I thought so too Rodney. But no matter where I place it, the form does not work. It works fine without the new email coding, but not with it. So somewhere I have an error. This is what it looks like:
