New here - Need auto email script

[jandjbc]

Greetings,

I am doing some web work for a non-profit. I've developed a form for folks to fill in and submit for an upcoming event. I'd like to generate an auto response to these people when they sign up for the event.

The webhost graciously came up with the response for me but when I receive the form input form people send, the response currently gets sent to a www-data address at the webhost. I need to get the form to extract the email addresses so the response goes to them and not to the webhost.

Make sense? Thanks so much in advance!

What script was given to you by your Web host? Could you post the code, and perhaps I or others could modify it for you? I am not sure of how else you would change the settings for the form to be mailed to the user, other than by simply changing the script processing the form data.

Hi Jona,

Thanks for your response. The webhost did not give me the response script. They wanted to handle it themselves. That's my problem. I think I've elected to just respond manually to each of the registrants. I was trying to avoid that but I've already spent about 5 hours on this today and still come up blank.

You can see the form at:

Thanks!

It appears Got.net (your host) is using CGI-Email to send the emails, however the script is on the http://ogre.got.net/ server (sub-server) so you have no access to it. You have paid for your hosting, so perhaps you should ask if they support PHP. If they do, I can help you. If they do not, ask them if they support ASP or CGI, if they do, I'd suggest posting in the ASP or CGI forum.

Thanks so much, Jona! I have emailed them but will give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks again,
