right...
back... I would have been quicker but I had to make sure it was bullet proof...
I'm opening a mail porthole, anyone who wants to have a mail service for feedback etc on their site should feel free to use it, it works by a very simple process...
Firstly you create your webform with the fields that you want on it. then you send me a PM asking me to add you as an allowed emailer send a username that you wish to use with that form, then send an email address you want things to be delivered to and them send me a list of the input fields on your website...
send it to me in an XML format like this,
Code:
<mail>
<account>
<name>root</name>
<email>email@isp.com</email>
<field>f1</field>
<field>f2</field>
<field>f3</field>
</account>
</mail>
you can have as many fields as you like. name the file whatever yuo put in the name field with the exrtension .xml
then add a hidden field to your existing form with that username as it's value and change that target of the form. to be like the example below...
Code:
<form action="http://www.kathulu.co.uk/mailer/mailer.php" method=post>
<input type=hidden name=account value=root />
<input name=f1 />
<input name=f2 />
<input name=f3 />
<input type=submit />
</form>
You have to complete the part about filling in the XML sheet and seding it via PM because I don't want to open a service that is open to abuse by spammers,
you can't email more than one address because again I don't want spammers to use it.
this doesn't answer the questions about databases, but it did give me something to do this morning, and fulfils the original requirements!
