how do i go about using the email they put in the form to auto send a reply.
thanks for the help... i couldnt find this answer anywheres... prob . because i didnt know exactly what to type in for search

I need to do something like this also, except I need to have the autoreply sent out as a read receipt. We allow service requests to be made from our website, and would like the sender to receive a read receipt when our service department opens the mail generated by submitting the form. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

An auto reply is relatively easy to add but it is specific to each form's requirements so I won't attemt to explain it here in this post. In general you need some knowledge of PHP, and some knowledge of generating and sending email from PHP. The modifications would be added to the end of your PHP file. I have to mention again that it is specific to each form and therefore not practical to add any standard autoreply feature to this form generator.

oh one thing i used ValidEmail because thats what i called it in the form name... yours might be different so look in your form for the email field and type whatever name you gave it...
some just call it Email.
i did ValidEmail

shoot let me see if i remember how i did this....
$message = stripslashes($message);
mail("bookform@youremail.com","Form Submitted at your website",$message,"From: $ValidEmail");
look for that line of code and change the $message,"from: $what ever it says") to From: $ValidEmail")
once your hosting email gets this form it will read the ValidEmail and send it an autoreply.
