hi,
i have been working on a site, and i need to figure out a system that takes a form, emails it to someone, and at the same time saves to a mySQL database. ive been working on this for the last month, trying various scripts, with most of them being quite buggy. i was wondering if there is anyone who could reccomend a script or help. ive put many hours into this with no progress really and am truly stuck :( any help would greatly be appreciated.

thanks :)

the site im working on is http://www.minndakonline.org

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/UPDATE.html
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/INSERT.html

first link is the mail() function in php...
second is the update function for changing a rows contents, 3rd is the insert function for creating a new row...
what you gotta do is create a script that will mail the mail and then store it to your db

but i really dont know how to really write php scripts other than the basic ones to display text, i was wondering if there was any premade ones that people know about.

This isn't exactly a 'find-me-a-script' kinda forum. Have you tried looking at hotscripts.com?
