Are we just suppost to know "Matt Wright's FormMail.pl" ?
Matt Wright's FormMail.pl script is a very well known script, that's been used by thousands of people for several years. So it was very likely that many of the people who read the e-mail knew what I was talking about...
This list consists not only of PHP programmers, but there are also people who know many other languages like Perl, or work administrating servers, etc, so many can know what this script is...
Moreover, the name "FormMail" is quite descriptive, and there are other FormMail scripts written in several languages that acomplish the same task, so not knowing Matt's script does not mean that you don't know what a FormMail script is.. (obviously not everyone knows what a FormMail script does, but obviously not everyone in the list should know about certain topics)
Or are we suppost to google to check that out so we can answear your question?
I don't expect that...
I have many times googled about things that someone asked on a list and I didn't know what it was.. just for me to know what it as, or to see if I could help this person... I don't expect others to do it, but it doesn't mean that someone can't do it either..
but I also expect a more polite reply than "you have obviously not read the PHP manual" or RTFM, since it was definitely and obviously not the case...
I know this list is a bit differente from others, there are many newbies
who use to ask "how do I do this" without RTFM or STFW, and there is a mix of *NIX, Windows and others users, and sometimes that sort of things
, which are always the same, fed up people, but I was not asking some stupid question because of not RTFM...
Anyway, http://pear.php.net/package-search.php?pkg_name=mail&bool=AND&submit=Search any help?
nope, thos are packages for mime decoding (which I have used in other projects), access for pop or imap, or the most simple Mail package which serves for e-mail sending, just like phpMailer would do, or even the mail() function for more simple tasks... but that's not what I want...
I know how to send e-mail, with mail(), with phpMailer or with PEAR::Mail, I want a good and tested FormMail script.. if I don't find one, I'll use my own written, but I don't want to reinvent the wheel..
anyway, I think I'll look in other places... thanks anyway
