[SOLVED] Help with HTML Emailer

denoteone · December 21, 2007

I am collecting data from a form and then sending it in an HTLM email. I have all that working.

What I want to do is give the user a chance to view the HTML email and go back to make changes or click submit and then the mail function will be called.

I have the go back button working onClick="history.go(-1). this is in the html that is echoed to the user so they can see what is being sent. But as of right now as soon as the PHP loads it sends the Mail function. I need for it to wait until the user clicks send in the html that is echoed before it calls the mail function.

Any help would be awesome.

Thanks everyone

Try that. Remember to replace yourphpfilename.php with your actual filename.

I got an error message when I clicked the send email button. " No recipient addresses found in header"

I did not get emails in either acount sender or recipient.

OK you need to put a hidden field in the form I made, for all of the values which are received from the previous page.

denoteone · December 21, 2007

I am a newbie at this how would i set the empty field with those varialbles?
