want to get a simple members info on the site including name and email address ..

does x10hosting provide the post website for sending the details to my email address

how do i do this ?

thanks

x10 is one of the nicer hosts that allows the use of :

mail($to, $sub, $msg, $headers);

This is php code and will only send the mail for you. Your e-mail account must be setup in your cPanel first to allow for a return mail.

In your cPanel, go to e-mail and then setup/add address. This is the account you will send and recieve from. If you would like a small script that can send mail for you just ask and I will post it. That s all it will do send the fields the user fills in. If you want it to have required fields then you gonna have to do some learning and coding.

would be nice to get the script ... I am just starting out . .anything to make it work would be nice ... the complex coding I need to take time to learn as yet ? a few months minimum ??? hhehehe :biggrin::dunno::nuts:

Ok, what details must the user fill in?

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

http://www.defectalisman.com/examples/function_form2.php
Edit:
The above exaple isn't 100% working. You just need to look at it and tell me what the users of the form must input.
Maybe a drop down with people that the mail can get sent to or if no then just give me the default address.

The things that the mail will need:
-To address (a from address would also help, this can be a field they fill in),
-Subject,
-Message body (this can be a whole load of stuff the user put in).

Also would you like the form to be sent as plain text or as HTML?

P.S. If i am going to write this for you a little gratuity wouldnt go amiss (eg: some credits and a click on my blue rep tick (

))
Edit:
I have the base done and am ready to finish the scripts when you give me the details. I have made it as easy as pos for you to change. When I say a gratuity would be nice. I am talking about any amount of credits you could spare(100c would do). Its just so that I dont feel like I doing it for free.
Edit:
P.S. All this script will do is take the user info, preview it and then send it to the address you want. A small mod would make it save the info to a file on the server and a larger mod would make it save it to a MySQL database.
