**sorry, after i posted this, i noticed the message regarding script requests. i have posted the message there --- but i'm not sure of how to delete this**

i need to convert the input of a form into a txt attachment. the submit button will send the form input to a specified email address (with the input sent as a text attachment).

does this make sense? does anyone have any suggestions, can you point me in a good direction that might help?

thanks so much and happy new year!

This is not really a script request, try this php function:

I have already answered your part about the "automaticly sending an email" to a person. Well, here is that code, if it helps you.

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="answer.php" method="post">
Name: <input type="text" name="name"><br>
Age: <input type="text" name="age"><br>
Email: <input type="text" name="email"><br>
<input type="submit" value="submit">
</form>
</body></html>

Code:

<?php
	$to = "johndapunk@gmail.com"; 
	$useremail = $_POST['email'];
	$name = $_POST['name'];
	$age = $_POST['age'];
	$subject= "subject here";
			
			$message="
			$name has done something.
			
			<table border=1 bgcolor=black>
			<tr bgcolor=76A5D5>
			<th width=125><font color=white>Age</font>
			
			<tr>
			<td><font color=white>".$age."
			
			</table>
			Thanks
			
			";
			
			$headers = "FROM: '$name' <$useremail>\r\n";
			$headers .= "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
			$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";

			mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);

echo ("Should be successful.");
?>

For you, you would have to change a view variables, but that should be what your looking for. BTW, if you didn't already know, you must have a SMTP mail server that functions with your web server, if not, the mail() function will not work.

As you your .txt file thingy, I'll research that a lil.
