Hello All,

I've successfully figure out how to make a form that connects to My Database, INSERTS the END USERS INFO into my database, and THEN sends a email notification back to the ME that contains the the END USERS INFO.

Is there a line of CODE in PHP to use that I can ALSO send the END USERS INFO from the form THEY FILLED OUT with all their details that was sent back to ME in the initial e-mail?

Also how do I get the date and time to post in the in my e-mail received with from the END USERS containing the date and time of the form filled out. It shows up in my Database HOWEVER, not in my RECEIVED e-mail.

Here is my code below:

<pre>

<?php 
if (isset($_POST['submitted'])) {
   include('connect2myDB.php');
   
   $salutation = $_POST['salutation'];
   $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email = $_POST['email'];
   $zip_code = $_POST['zip_code'];
   $newsletter = $_POST['newsletter'];
   $registation_date = $_POST['registation_date'];
   $sqlinsert = "INSERT INTO travelers (salutation, first_name, last_name, email, zip_code, newsletter, registation_date) VALUES ('$salutation', '$first_name','$last_name','$email','$zip_code','$newsletter', NOW()))";
   
}


?>



<?php 

// ALL THE SUBJECT and EMAIL VARIABLES

   $emailSubject = 'MY TEST EMAIL SCRIPTING!!! ';
   $webMaster = 'mrjap1jobs@gmail.com';
   
   
   
// GATHERING the FORM DATA VARIABLES

   $salutation = $_POST['salutation'];
   $first_name = $_POST['first_name'];
   $last_name = $_POST['last_name'];
   $email = $_POST['email'];
   $zip_code = $_POST['zip_code'];
   $newsletter = $_POST['newsletter'];
   $registation_date = $_POST['registation_date'];  // THIS DATA DOES NOT SHOW UP IN MY RECEIVED E-MAIL HOWEVER, IT DOES SHOW UP IN MY DATABASE.... HOW DO I FIX THIS?
   
   $body = <<<EOD
<br /><hr><br />
<strong>Salutation:</strong> $salutation <br />
<strong>First Name:</strong> $first_name <br />
<strong>Last Name: </strong>$last_name <br />
<strong>Email:</strong> $email <br />
<strong>Zip Code:</strong> $zip_code <br />
<strong>Newsletter:</strong> $newsletter <br />
<strong>Registration Date:</strong> $registation_date <br />
EOD;


// THIS SHOW ALL E-MAILED DATA, ONCE IN THE E-MAILBOX AS READABLE HTML

   $headers = "From: $email\r\n";
   $headers .= "Content-type: text/html\r\n";
   $success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
   
   
// THE RESULTS OF THE FORM RENDERED AS PURE HTML 

   $theResults = <<<EOD
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">

You might need to set the date and time variables.. something like this for example

$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");

You could then add them to your email message like this:

$body = <<<EOD
<br /><hr><br />
<strong>Salutation:</strong> $salutation <br />
<strong>First Name:</strong> $first_name <br />
<strong>Last Name: </strong>$last_name <br />
<strong>Email:</strong> $email <br />
<strong>Zip Code:</strong> $zip_code <br />
<strong>Newsletter:</strong> $newsletter <br />
<strong>Registration Date:</strong> $date at $time <br />
EOD;

This should send the date and time the form was processed. Which should match the date from $registration_date which gets entered into the database

Hope that helps in some way.
