  mysql_select_db($database_inteecom_ellen, $inteecom_ellen);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $inteecom_ellen) or die(mysql_error());

  $insertGoTo = "Thank you.php";
  if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
  }
  header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
}

mysql_select_db($database_inteecom_ellen, $inteecom_ellen);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT * FROM register";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $inteecom_ellen) or die(mysql_error());

That's quite easy to do. All you need to do is search for a php mail script and add it to the bottom of that code that you posted, configured with your own email address as the receiver.

It's very easy actually. You use the mail function. Put this inside your success page.

 

$youremailaddress = '[email protected]';
$subject = 'Someone just signed up.';
$message = 'Go check it out.';
mail($youremailaddress, $subject, $message);

Actually, place it right after this line:

 

$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $inteecom_ellen) or die(mysql_error());

 

That way, if someone refreshes the page, it won't send you an email every single time.

Hi thank you used it this way but didnt work.

mysql_select_db($database_inteecom_ellen, $inteecom_ellen);
  $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $inteecom_ellen) or die(mysql_error());
  $youremailaddress = '[email protected]';
  $subject = ' just Registered up.';
  $message = 'one new entry.';
mail($youremailaddress, $subject, $message);

Check example 2 of the manual page. It'll show you how to do it. The manual really should be your first port of call for things like this.
