Hello everyone,

I build html emails for my company. They have recently asked for me to add a send to a friend field in the bottom of the html page, allowing the recipient to add there friends email address to the email and then forward it on.

I receive html emails from siteport and they have this on there email which you can add a friends email, once you send this goes to siteport website and tells the user that you@home have sent him@work a newsletter.

I have no knowledge where to start, except I know I probably need to gain a little experience learning PHP/CGI scripting to get this to work.

I have looked around the net for info on how to do this and have found very little. I was wondering if anyone has ever used a forward to a friend script be it PHP or any other type of language.

I hope someone can help..

When you create the HTML emails, do you store them in a database and then use a PHP or ASP program to select an email to send?

Or do you create the emails in your favorite email program then send them?

I store them in a folder on the server called mailouts, but I have no real knowledge of php and not sure where to start.

You say you have no knowledge of PHP, that's not a problem because I do.
The only question I have right now is, do you have PHP on your server?
