I have a form on my site that sends the form information directly to an email of mine. What I am wondering is the script that I would need to send a email back to the user who filled out my form, that would state something along the lines of "your Email was received. We will get back to you as soon as possible. I know this can be done, I have seen many sites that do it. I really like and I want to have it on my form. If you guys could please help me out or even link to an appropriate link that would tell me how to do this I would really appreciate it. Thank you guys.

Have it send two emails.
If your form sends an email using PHP's mail() function, just add a second mail line directly after the the mail that gets sent to you.
Now obviously you'd need to define the variables, but it should be pretty straight forward. Just use the information the user input as their email address for the second email's '$to_user' email address.Code:<?php mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); mail($to_user, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers_user); ?>
The rest you can just make yourself:
etc..Code:$subject_user = "Thanks for your email!"; $message_user = "We have received your email. Thank you.";

Thank you Sir.Comment

Do i need it the " in-between the variable names.
mail($to_vis, $subject_user, $message_user,) ;
this is what I have, $vis is my customers nameComment
-
it gives me an error messageComment
-
Or perhaps I need it to read
mail($vis_user, $subject_user, $message_user,) ;
$subject_user = "Thanks for your email!";
$message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon.";Comment

You've left out the fourth parameter in the mail() function which is the From header.Comment

Ok, the form didn't give me any errors when adding the headers mail function. But for some reason, when testing it, I didn't get the email from the form. Why could this be?Comment

Code:$subject_user = "Thanks for your email!"; $message_user = "We have received your email. We will be contacting you soon."; mail($vis, $subject_user, $message_user, $headers_user);

Did you check your junk mail?Comment
-
Ok great, It worked. JKing is there a way to send it and not make it go to the junk folder? Or does that automatically do that depending on the users email application? Also it is saying its coming from a weird email address. Is there a way to assign a certain email address in the form, so the users will see its from that specific email? Example: Sean@mysite.comComment
-
$headers isn't 100% required. It's useful for sorting filters and for reply-to email addresses, but it will still send without any headers.
But, you are right. If I'm going to give an answer I should probably give the 100% answer.Comment

Autumns you were right Sir, I just didn't add it. It was my fault, not yours. But now I have another issue, can you direct it so it doesn't go to spam? OR is that impossible? Also it's saying its not coming from the right email address in the users :from, on their email address. It gives a weird address. Can you edit that, so you can state what email it is coming from?Comment
