Automated Email

Post by Cheryl399 »

Hello everyone,

I have a website with a form which when user submits updates the database that i have which is access 2007. However i wanted to be able to send an automated email to say that it has been updated, ive tried looking for some PHP scripts that could help me out but couldnt find a decent one.

If someone was able to point me in the right direction then i would appreciate that

Thank you :)

Well, don't you think sending an email right away when you put the user's stuff in the database, would be the most obvious way to go?

you should try mail() or, better SwiftMailer http://swiftmailer.org/ and as Apollo said incorporate it in update process.
