eastx2 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Hi ALL, I created a "Coming Soon Page" with a form so visitor can enter their email address and click submit so when the site is ready I can send them an email. I'm using Godaddy for Hosting and Godaddy have a free form (see attachment: webformmailer.php) that I can use. The form work 100% fine. The problem is I want to set an auto response email(Thank you email) that will goes back to the visitor after they click SUBMIT, Because I have to used GoDaddy's forms, the auto response goes back to godaddy formmailer server and not the user's email account. (When I received the email from the Coming soon page, the "from" part doesn't show the visitor's email, it show the godaddy formmailer email instead so even thought I set the auto-respond, the email will reply to godaddy formmailer instead of the visitor. I've been look around the web but can't find the answer. I really hope you can help me with this. Thank you very much!!!

Pikachu2000 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 With that form, it may be easier to simply use the "landing page" redirect they have coded in it to acknowledge that the form was sent successfully, and display a message to the user.

eastx2 Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 I actually created the "landing page" but my client want me to create the autoreply "thank you email" on top of that .... I really have no idea how to do that with the godaddy form... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 I'm not sure, but if I recall correctly, you set the address the form submissions are forwarded to in the control panel, correct? The only way I can think of off the top of my head would be to figure out how to set a reply-to header with the address that was entered, so your email client would be able to pick up on it. Otherwise setting up a mysql database and using it to send the thank you's with a script and a cron job isn't out of the question . . .

pengu Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Briefly looked over this, but you'll need to do some coding. http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_mail.asp - Tutorial on using the php mail() function. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
