Send email on posting form data

Blulagoon

Normally I would do this on the page that processes the form data, using the mail() function.

However, I've got a site with a google checkout button on it. What I would like to do is send an email everytime someone clicks on the google checkout link.

What I want to be able to do is analyse the number of times orders are submitted and compare them with orders that are processed through google.

Any ideas how this could be done ?

the button click would have to go to a local page with your mail script then send the user on to google using header location sending the form data in the url or if it has to be post, curl - not sure about that one

I was hoping there might be a tidier way to do this. If I did it this way I would just recreate the form using the $_POST variables and send it using the javascript below rather than curl.

function go() {
      	document.getElementById('myForm').submit();
            }
   </head>

 <body onload="go()">

Make the button execute a JS function. Create a request object in that function accessing your email page then submitting the form.
