Question
<?PHP Experts Please Take Pity?>
I've recently, and reluctantly, been positioned to create new
forms for my employer's site. Previously, a programmer in the
Technology Dept. had coded what seems to be a somewhat all
encompassing php form to take the info given in any html form and
email it to given recipients. He is no longer with us, and
honestly, I don't know php -- I've started to learn a few basic
code strings, etc, but everything I read talks about data bases and
MySQL. I know nothing of either. All I know is that I do not have
to retain any info submitted in the html forms, so I shouldn't need
to configure a database/server, right? All I'm wanting is for any
John X to be able submit information, and have that mailed out in a
uniform email, while telling the user that their submission has
gone through. Would someone please advise me as to whether or not
the below code (from Programmer) will do this job by itself, or
explain what role this file has in the overall sceme of
submission–email process?
<?
$MailToAddress = "mdvisions2002@yahoo.com";
$MailSubject = "Email Test";
if (!$MailFromAddress) {
$MailFromAddress = "SENDERS@ADDRESS.GOES.HERE";
}
$Header = "";
$Footer = "";
?>

if (!is_array($HTTP_POST_VARS))
return;
reset($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$GLOBALS[$key] = $val;
$val=stripslashes($val);
echo "<b>$key</b> = $val<br>";
$Message .= "$key = $val\n";
}
if ($Header) {
$Message = $Header."\n\n".$Message;
}
if ($Footer) {
$Message .= "\n\n".$Footer;
}
mail( "$MailToAddress", "$MailSubject", "$Message", "From: $MailFromAddress");
?>
