Hi everyone. I'm a noob at scripting and have hit a wall. I'm trying to create a form that sends user input to a formatted html file that users can save and use (it's an e-mail signature template).

The form and resulting page look fine, but I'm having trouble with the saving part... I don't know how to save it directly and if I prompt users to "save as" HTML they will not have the graphics. If they save as a web page complete, the user data is missing.

Any suggestions to get me on the right track are greatly appreciated. And a bottle of Scotch for anyone with a solution! :)

Here's a link to where I am now:

Here's a link to another site that does what I'm attempting to do:

MY UGLY PHP FILE:
<html>
<body>
<font size="2" face="Arial">

<br><?php echo $_POST["title"]; ?>
<br>
<br></font></b><font size="2" face="Arial">1111 Seveda Blvd. | Torrance, CA 90505<br>
</b>+1-<?php echo $_POST["phone"]; ?> | +1-<?php echo $_POST["fax"]; ?> | +1-<?php echo $_POST["mobile"]; ?><br>
<span style='color:#DE2020'>companyname.com

You could use the Zip module and create an archive with the HTML and the images, then output that. What e-mail apps is the e-mail signature intended for? Outlook?

Thanks for the tip (and the link), I'll give this a try. The signature is intended for Lotus Notes.
