Hi All
I have a FormMail script on a website (running on a linux box in a
shared hosting environment) that when you press the submit button it
emails the address in the script. Up to this point in time the script
has worked fine, however I need to make changes to the script so that
when a person enters their email address in the necessary field they
also get a copy of the email sent. This is what I don't know how to do.
I'm guessing that I can provide some sort of parameter passing to the
script from the HTML form. Below is the code for the Email box part of
the form.
<tr>
<td align=right width=160> <p align="left"><strong><font face="Verdana,
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="3">E-mail: *
</font></font></strong></p></td>
<td width="402"><p align="left" ><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif"><b><font size="-1"><input type=text name=email value=""
size=75 maxlength=75></font></b></font></p></td>
</tr>
This is the part of the Submit button code that could also need changing:
<input type=hidden name="required" value="name,phone,email">
The code I believe that needs changing is below, however I can provide a
link to the entire FormMail.pl script file. I currently haven't
developed the HTML form that the script gets info from as I have only
been asked about the change yesterday afternoon.
Thanks
Michael
