Hi,

I've been asked to set up an informational site with a number or auto-responders. What he wants is to have someone forced to fill out a form with their contact info and send it to him. Immediately he wants the information they requested to get automatically emailed to them.

Also when someone returns to the site he wants their information they previously supplied to display. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
wired

MySQL for your database and PHP to handle the emailing and the auto-response, as well as interaction with the database to bring up past requests, etc.

infinite,

Thanks for the direction. I already installed MySQL and PHP on my server for other customers, guess it's time to start using them myself.


thanks,
wiredsj

You really don't need a database if it's just e-mailing the items the person just filled out in the form. A PHP form itself will take care of that, without even needing to get involved with the database.

You are welcome, wiredsj...

Bryan, the MySQL database comes into play with this requirement:

"Also when someone returns to the site he wants their information they previously supplied to display."
