FYI...
Not sure what your intentions are, but you can also send the form data from
ANY form by putting the mailto:user@somedomain.com
statement in the action
property of the form and using the POST method (I don't think it'll work
with GET).
You'll generate an e-mail with an attachment that contains your data in
name=value pairs and you'll have to parse through the file to get the
individual values. I tried it with one of my forms and got this in the
attached file:
docnum=6&contentID=1&addItem=&itemList%5B%5D=0&itemList%5B%5D=1&itemList%5B%
5D=2&submit=Submit+Query
Note: The names itemList were submitted from a multiple select object.
Whether you use the php mail() function or plain, old HTML mailto: is up to
you and your specific needs. My guess, having never used php's mail() is
that you'll get a little more functionality/flexibility from it. As always,
your mileage may vary.
