Autoresponders

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 25.2003

Hello everyone. I am new to the forum.

I have a question about autoresponders. I am guessing that after someone hits the submit button, the action command on my HTML form field points to a program that formats and sends my user an email. Which language do I use to format the autoresponder email?

@AdamGundryOct 25.2003 — Yes, the data is sent to a program of some kind which sends the email. As we don't know which one, we can't advise you about it. There are a theoretically infinite number of possible scripts, so without more details we can't help.

But could you name some languages that these scripts may be in? I want to code an autoresponder.

@AdamGundryOct 25.2003 — You mean you don't have a script, and want to write your own? There are a range of languages available, such as Perl, PHP and ASP - PHP is my personal preference, but you can use whatever your host supports. It might be easier to find a prewritten script that suits your needs though, such as those at [url=http://www.resourceindex.com/]Resource Index[/url].
