[SOLVED] include function in php

[starvator]

hello everybody, i am trying to make a newsletter script and i have the form and mysql part working.  Now, i need to make the actual email part.

 

<?php

//define the receiver of the email

$to = 'example@example.com';

//define the subject of the email

$subject = 'Test email';

//define the message to be sent. Each line should be separated with \n

$message = "hello \n how are you?

";

//define the headers we want passed. Note that they are separated with \r\n

$headers = "From: someone@domething.com\r\nReply-To: someone@something.com";

//send the email

$mail_sent = @mail( $to, $subject, $message, $headers );

//if the message is sent successfully print "Mail sent". Otherwise print "Mail failed"

echo $mail_sent ? "Mail sent" : "Mail failed";

?>

 

this is the php code i have so far, which will send the email.

 

I now need to make another form which submits its contents to here:

 

I need a subject box

body box

and it needs to select the email addresses in my mysql table

 

does anyone have anyidea how to do this?

 

do i use the get and post codes?

 

thanks

data sent from a form will either be in the $_GET array or $_POST array, depending on the method you used in your form.  So for example if your form method is post and you have a textfield named subject, the posted info will be in $_POST['subject']

[robert_gsfame]

just create a form like

<form action = blabla.php method = POST name =blabla>

<input type = text name = subject>

<input type = text name = body>

</form>

 

call those using $_POST

$subject = $_POST['subject']

$body = $_POST['body']

 

is it what you mean?
