The thing is that we do want to help. We want everyone to have as
positive experience as possible with PHP, and I've personally spent
hours in the past helping people with their various PHP Problems, both
on this list and elsewhere, so you'll understand if I take issue with
your suggestions.
Most of us here on the PHP list, and particularly the majority of
those who have responded to this post are in the habit of bending over
backwards to help people out...........
BUT:
We need something to work with, and you haven't given us much. You
need to give us WAY more information.
What part of generating the email are you having problems with? Are
you for example having problems getting the information from the form,
in your PHP script? Are you having problems getting the mail()
function to work? Are you having problems getting the text into the
format that you want it in?
You've asked a very broad question, and unless you can focus it down a
bit, then all we can do is either ask you for clarification, or direct
you to the PHP manual. In this case, I would direct you to the pages
for predetermined variables(in this case $_GET and $_POST), sprintf,
and mail
www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php#reserved.variables.get ,
www.php.net/sprintf , and www.php.net/mail
It would take a very long answer, and a waste of ours and the manual
writers time if we simply rewrote what was already in the manual.
Having that said, feel free at any stage to ask us for clarification
of something you don't understand, but we request that you make some
reasonable effort to solve your own problems before jumping to the
list.
