Forms

[Anon]

How do I make automatic responding forms? Like they tell the user the form was successfully sent and they also do the specified action. Like I have a SIM horse game and if they filled out, say, the joining form it would make them a member of the game right away and send them an email saying their form was sent.

Hi Melanie

I think you need to go back and revisit some of the form tutorials. When processing the form you can

a) insert into a database
b) write to a text file
c) send an email

all before, during or after sending content out to the browser. What you want to do is totally reasonable.
