PHP login and e-mail scripts

[cullen]

I know this is an architectural forum but I'm just curious if someone mignt be able to help me out. (maybe Jeff )

 

I have a website that I am creating a distributor area for. I am wanting to make the registration form have some information such as name, address, e-mail, username and password. I can get the registration information to submit to the database but I'm curious how I can get an autorespond sent to the person registering and an e-mail sent to me with all of their information.

 

Hope someone might have an idea.

 

thanks,

crw

Vbulletin sends the administrator a notification of every new member and includes items like the new users user name and e-mail address, I think if you make other information required, it will send that as well, I am not certain on that. It also sends the new user a welcome e-mail. You can also create custom fields for the new user to fill in. I am not certain if all you want is sent automatically. I don't know if you are using a forum or not, but there are ways to make joining a site such as one of the many CMS programs out there integrate with a forum, phpBB forum software is highly supported and may have a MOD out there to do this. That is about the extent of my knowledge, one of the CMS (Content Management Systems) like Mambo may do just what you want without a forum.

Thanks for the reply.

 

Is Vbulletin only for forums? Will it enter the info into my database as well?

 

This site is actually a truck parts site. The client is wanting to set up a dealer area where they can receive updates and special pricing information.

 

My web server also supports SQL and php. I'm not sure if CMS can be used in this situation but I'll definately look into it.

Will this be html or flash?

 

Good components for Flash (there's one for a form and one for a password):

I've got an old PHP/Flash form that I've used a bunch of times. Email me and I'll send it along later today.

 

Cheers.

Thanks for the sites. I've actually been looking at the devshed.com site for a lot of help.

 

I currently have both peices that I need working. I just can't get them to work together.

 

I can get the form to send an autoreply to the user and send all of the form info to me.

 

or

 

I can get the form to input the information into the database.

 

 

Is it possible to add two functions to a button?

Site for truck parts, guess you won't need a bulletin board then Since you are using a php database site, the info is there but how to query and have the info e-mailed to you isn't something I can figure out. I am still thinking a CMS system is something to look into.
