I'm trying to add an email auto responder into a existing php script

[macrat101]

I'm trying to get my php form to send a simple auto responder to the persons email that submitted the form. Something like "Thanks we received your info". I don't know how to integrate that into my existing script. Below are the configurable parts of the php. The form works perfectly ... just want to add the auto respond function. Thanks!

<?php

 

$d = date("m-d-y H:i:s");

 

 

 

/*  *************  Begin Configuration  *************  */

$relocate = "http://www.xxxxx.com/";  // insert your relocation url here

$home = "http://www.xxxxx.com/";

$MOVE_TO_PATH = '/home/content/xxxxx/html/FileUpload/';

$PATH_TO_DIR = 'http://www.xxxxx.com/FileUpload/';

 

 

 

$sender_name = "Order";

$sender_email = "me@xxxxx.com";

$mailheaders = "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii\nFrom: $sender_name <$sender_email>\nReply-To: <$sender_email>\nReturn-Path: <$sender_email>\nX-Mailer: PHP";

 

 

 

 

//$to = "me@xxxxx.com";

$to = "me@xxxxx.com";

$subject = "Order";

 

 

$success_block = "<p>Thank you for submitting your information. We will review your information and get back to you within a day or two.</p><br><br>";

 

/*  *************  End Configuration  *************  */

 

 

// mail

if ($send != "false") {

  mail($to, $subject, $msg, $mailheaders);  // mail sent to admin

  header("Location: $relocate");

}

?>

It looks like you already did it. Is it not working? I would do if(!empty($send)) and set $send according to a GET/POST variable coming from your form.

 

I think by auto-responder you mean "confirmation email". To me at least, an auto-responder is an email that automatically replies when someone sends an email to a particular address. You can do that with PHP too, assuming you have qmail you just put this into the account's .qmail-default file:

 

| true
| /usr/bin/php /path/to/autoresponder/code/autoresponder.php

 

Qmail will pass in the variables you need to see who sent the original message, etc. As long as you use mail() in it, whenever an email comes into that account PHP will generate a dynamic response. I get the feeling this isn't what you were asking but it's an awesome tool so you might want to take note of it anyway
