Hi all,

this is intriguing me a lot. I'm totally new to php and would like to know how could i do the following. Suppose you enter a page, interact with the interfaces and as a result you have 3 variables. I want to send these variables to my mailbox and deliver a confirmation page with the 3 variables for the visitor to know everything is ok. NOTE; it's not from a form, just 3 variables.

The problem is that when i write the php function it automatically executes on page load, so i cannt control the moment thru javascript. I use something like:

<?
$ml="info@meddle.f2s.com";
$sj="Hi from meddle";
$ms="just this";
if (mail($ml,$sj,$ms)) {
print("OK");
} else {
print("NOPE");
}
?>

+which automatically sends the message on page load, not when i want. Also, i would need to be able to change the variables before sending.


Any help very apreciated.
TIA

ok, i figured out how to roundabout it. i'm now using a hiddend form to store the vars and then send the values thru a normal submit of the form, being:

<FORM name="daform" ACTION="form.php" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="TEXT/PLAIN">
<input name="nom" type="text" value="">
<input name="adr" type="text" value="">
<input name="msg" type="text" value="">
<input type="submit">
</FORM>

form.php has the following code:
...
<body>
<?
$destino="sergim@icm.csic.es";
$asunto="Hi from meddle";
if (mail($destino,$asunto,$msg)) {
?>
Hi <?php echo $nom; ?>, your message has been sent to our mailbox.
A reply will be sent to your <?php echo $adr; ?> address. Meanwhile, your text was:

<?php echo $msg;
} else {
?>
There must have been a problem in the process.
<?
}
?>
</body>
...


It works very nice in mozilla092w98se but doesnt return the values in ie5.0w98se. Moreover, mozilla lets me submit the form thru a normal link with:
doIT (#)
but ie doesnt allow.

Any ideas?
TIA
