PHP scrips

[Nighthawk666]

Can any one tel me where i can get some good PHP scripts?

The script im looking of should be able to:

When a member fills out a form and inserts a Email adress so that when he presses send the message will be send to the e-mail adress he entered and with a additional message. Like a "Tel a friend" form.

Or if there is a other way to do this im always willing to learn new stuff>

Uh, a cms could do that. Or you could write that.

Hi Nighthawk,

Do you have any experience with PHP? This type of script would be very easy to write, it would just require a HTML form and a few lines of PHP.

Cheers

I dont know enoph about PHP but i have some expirience with HTML. Does it take long to learn PHP?

I tried to create a form like that only using HTML. I just used ahidden text box for the message and get it to send out with Outlook. But i didn't get the E-mail address part working and anyway even if i did its to sloppy.

Hey Sinomb
isn't cms a database system? I surfed the web and i got to stuff lik MYSQL and that but i just get how to use that stuff. Have any links or tips?

A CMS is a content management system, it would allow you to send emails and messages to people but not necessarily anyone else. (depends on the CMS, I don't use these so Simon may know more)

PHP is easy to learn the basics of, very easy and addictive. Once you get the basics down you'll *want* to learn more.

Take a look at this thread for some great resources.

You may also look at a formmailer service (do a google search for form mailer). These will take the input of forms and email them out for you.

Hope that helps,

I would recommend Joomla to start with. It will do all of the above.
