Re: [phpesp-general] phpESP email function

[James E. F. <jf...@ac...>]

That should be pretty easy to do, but my question is ..
Why do you need the results to be emailed?

The advantage to doing this with a database backend is lost
if you use the email for the results. You can do much more
powerful data analysis out of the database. The email was
intended as a backup feature. In the case that the database
became inconsistent, the data could be recovered from the
email archive. That is why the email is in a machine
readable format (rather than a human readable one).

However, there seems to be a number of people who would
like human readable email. I hope to add this as an option,
so when designing a survey you can choose human/machine
readable email. I believe Sean Alderman was interested
in this as well, and was going to (/already has) implement
this.

I will add it as a feature request on the SourceForge site,
and see what I can do about it.
