sending emails when a new record is entered

[Jeffw]

I am new to PHP and PHP magic plus. I have generated a few sample db's and can not figure out how to send an email with the info entered.

Help anyone?
Thank you

I just searched this forum and found this (http://www.websitedatabases.com/database-forum/showpost.php?p=875&postcount=2) thread. :)

How do you get the fields to be included

Did you get the email notification working. You do not mention that.

[Jeffw]

No I have not been able to. I can not figure out where in the page to insert the mail command?

I can not figure out where in the page to insert the mail command"you should add this line after the "Insert into .." line;"

Open the relevant table_dmp.php look for the the sql insert into part and insert the mail line right after it. Save it and reupload.

sql("insert into .....;
@mail("your_email_address", "subject", "body text");

Try it :)

Thank you so much, I found where to place the code.
How do I add the fields from the db to be listed within the email?
How do I change the from name to my address rather than a long number?

I thank you in advance again. Sorry I take the short buss.
