All you have to do is tie in the email portion and that's that. So, again, to google, I typed these wonderful words of wisdom. php email example The first result was this http://www.w3schools.com/PHP/php_mail.asp This will get you a very simple email script working. Personally, I would not do it this way, but since you mention that this will be all internal, it will probably do just fine. If you want a little more control over the email or plan to use this to send email to outside recipients, I would recommend doing it differently. phpmailer Download that package, then follow its tutorials on how to set it up and send emails. phpmailer examples The first result is this http://phpmailer.worxware.com/index.php?pg=examples It has a variety of examples that should cover almost any scenario you can possibly think of. Just one thing, do not try and be a cut/paste god here. Actually take time to read the examples and understand what they do before you put them into production. This will now end my "How to use Google" segment for the day. Jim Lucas
