I have search the heck out the net and I can not seem to find a solid answer. I am looking for a tutorial on how to set up an auto e-mail responder using PHP. The intent is to have a form 3 fields (name, email, and message) and when the user presses submit, a stock HTML e-mail is sent bascially saying thank you! Can someone help me out.......

I'm not sure what you were searching for, but a simple query came up with tons of possible answers (including the first result). 'How' is easy. The bigger question is, do you have access to an email server to send the mail? and do you know how to access form information?

The searches you provided only show me how to create an HTML e-mail. Unless I am looking wrong, I did not see anything that says once the a user sumbits the form a auto responder is sent. Currently, I have a scrpit that just sends submited form information to my e-mail account from the server (godaddy.com). I have seen a few examples, hotscripts, phrommailer, etc. Most of the time they either want you to pay or don't give me the entire script. www.thegreatdebateonline.com

I have no idea what you're trying to do. What's so special about an "auto responder"? I'd assume it's just an email confirming a subscription or whatever. Just have whatever processing page you use send an email to the address provided. If you can already send an email with your script, what else do you want?

If you have no idea of what I am trying to do, then why are you responding...... Thanks for you help, but I found what I was looking for here Auto Responder www.thegreatdebateonline.com

If you have no idea of what I am trying to do, then why are you responding...... Because I was trying to muddle through your nonsense. The page you linked to has EXACTLY the same code as those I did. There is nothing special at all about an "auto responder". All it is is an email that is sent when a form has processed some information. So in the end, the questions and links I posted up in Response 1 completely answered your question.
