Oct 26.2009

Hello Everyone,

I need some help with an order form..I would really apriciate if anyone can help me out.

Currently I have an order form which does the following:
– visitors enter their information and select from dropdown the menu..
– I’m able to recive a copy of that order to my email

>

However, my visitors are requesting the menu to see what they ordered..and thats where I’m loosing time having to forward my emails manually.

What do I need to do to send a copy of what they entered in the order form to the visitor and to myself?

====================

basic order form:
————

Name:
Email:

Manu: option 1/ option 2
———————–


Send
=======================

Thank You!!!

@hastxOct 27.2009 — If it is already sending you a copy, just send them one at the same time...you can put two email addresses in the first arguement to the mail function:

[code=php]
$my_email = "[email protected]";
$his_email = $_POST['email'];
...
$to = $my_email;
$to.= ", $his_email";
...

mail($to,$subj,$msg);
[/code]

You should also keep a copy of the order on your web server incase there are email troubles. I would think about having the script create an html file of the order ...this gives you a screen that shows the order, but you can also attach or embed that same file to the email. It gives a professional look when the recipient receives an html "receipt" in their email.

I really do appreciate your help!



[code=php]
$my_email = "[email protected]";
$his_email = $_POST['email'];

$to = $my_email;
$to.= ", $his_email";
