autoresponder question

[cgacfox]

Hello:
I am not sure I am in the correct section of the forums, but I have a client that wants to have a sales letter sent automatically to visitors that fill out a form. The email address would have to be captured from the form and then the sales letter would automatically be sent to that email address. I am not sure how this is accomplished. If I am in the wrong area, please direct to the forum that I should be using. Thanks.

This would need to be in the server side programming section.

But to answer your question you would need to setup a script (depending on ur host) I use php and this can be acomplished using the mail() function.

If you want a step by step examlpe on how to setup the script just email me.

Hi Cgacfox
It's also possible using a formmailer. I've searched google for a and I found free mailform processor. No ads btw

<form name="formname" method="post" action="http://www.mail-maniac.com/">
<input type="hidden" name="mailto" value="mailto(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="from" value="mailfrom(at)address.com">
<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Subject line">
<input type="hidden" name="fromname" value="Your name">
<input type="hidden" name="goto" value="http://www.thankyoupage.com">
<input type="text" name="sometextfield">

<input type="text" name="anothertextfield">

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">


<font size="1" face="Verdana">Mail-Maniac, free HTML email form processor</font>
</form>

Just edit your parts and it should work, I've tested it.

good luck!
