Asuuming you have PHP setup already, edit your PHP.ini file.  Change your
mail settings in it to:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP= mail.mysmtpserver.com ; for Win32 only

; For Win32 only.
sendmail_from= [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; for Win32 only

and save it.

Then, in the formaction.php page, use the mail(); function.  Full details
can be found here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

You should get the hang of it.

Good luck

Ross

Subject: [PHP-WIN] New To PHP need help with mail


I have a good cold fusion background but am now trying to tackle a new
beast.  I really only need to have e-mail functionality on an action page
from a form page.  Here is exactly what I need.

I have a form page that asks questions like:

<form name="MyForm" action="formaction.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="yourname">
<input type="radio" name="yourgender" value="male">
<input type="radio" name="yourgender" value="female">
<select name="hobby">
<option value="riding bikes">riding bikes</option>
<option value="skiing">riding bikes</option>
<option value="rafting">riding bikes</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="click here">
</form>

I need to be able to e-mail the results of that form page to this address
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  My server name is mail.mysmtpserver.com.  I know I'm asking
a biggun' here, but with CF that would be a breeze so I'm assuming php can't
be much harder.  Can someone hook me up plz?

thx in advance for your time,

Burrito
