php_tom Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 The problem is that when you send an email, some program needs to connect to a mailserver somewhere. But you can't do that client-side because: 1) It's non-secure (Hackers could write a client-side script that sends a virus to ten people FROM YOUR ACCOUNT everytime you visit a website. 2) What if you (the client) don't have an email program installed? So email has to be sent server side, which limits it to pretty much CGI scripts (PHP, Perl, etc). Sorry. My only other suggestion is if you have a bit of space on a server with PHP's mail() enabled (e.g. do you have any server space from school/work that you could just put the sendmail.php script on?)
