Can I create my own email?

How can I create a html form to extract certain data from a flat file and send it via email?

• I know how to create an html form in Expression Web 3. Now I need to create a script through which the client enters their email and they are mailed their personal info, such as name, address, email, etc... sort of like a reset password form in other words but a different concept. The details are held in a flat file (I know this may not be secure). Can someone tell me of a script or a program to do this. Thank you for your help in advance.

• Answer:

  ok, you need a mail server, php server (preferable but you may be able to do it with asp as well). OK, set-up your mail server and configure it in the php.ini file (where it has all the smtp stuff). Now go the php script: <?php $name = $_POST['name']; //gets information from the form $email = $_POST['email']; //gets email $sendMessage = mail($email, "Confirmation or wteva", "Hi, you have....blah"); if($sendMessage) { echo "check email"; } else { echo "an error echo in the sending of the email"; } ?> or sumfin like that... but you get the principle hope i help :-)
