You can query your database to extract those info, compose your email and use mail( ) function to send it.

that is _not_ a wise way to do it, you should include some form of restrictions on how many emails can be sent to a single account within X minutes for example. Further you should restrict by HTTP_REFERER (yep it's poor, but it's better than nothing) so that a automated script can't use your email-article-to-a-friend function to "spam" thousands of people without any work... There are quite a few considerations to take into account when writing a email-article-to-a-friend function, just to be on the safe side... -- Andreas D Landmark / noXtension Real Time, adj.: Here and now, as opposed to fake time, which only occurs there and then.
