Hi,

I have a DBman database set up so there is one record per user, and that record contains some user details such as name, experience points (yea its a game db) etc.

I want to make a link that will send an email to the admin with several details from their record. But i want it to be done with out interruption, like you have when you send form data to an email address with the <form> tags (you get the warning that an email will be sent).

The password file contains the users email addresses, but i dont really want to use them to do this if its possible. Is it possible for the cgi script to just send an email to the admin using the (i'm a bit of a cgi newbie) sendmail command?



Thanks for your help.

It can be done as you mentioned...

Check out LoisC's FAQ located here: http://webmagic.hypermart.net/dbman/db/dbfaq.cgi look under the topic "email" there are 77 posts regarding e-mails & sending e-mails. I'm sure one will fit your needs (many are simple 'cut & paste' mods that shouldn't be too difficult to install)

thanks for that, i always forget about that faq
