I am looking for a way to let my views check a box saying that the want something sent to them and then it will send to there email and i will be able to have a collection of emails from who ever checked the box and typed in there email. Does any body know how to do this? Sorry if confusing!

Let me get this straight...

1. You want your users to be able to check a box and then click submit or something and they will be sent an email to the specified email address.

That's easy enough. You'll need to use PHP. Do you have that available on your web server?


2. How do you want to recieve notification that a user has requested something sent? You can do it a couple of ways:

a) be sent an email whenever a user requests something. So bascially, when the user clicks submit there will be two emails sent...1 to the user with whatever they requested and one two you stating who requested what.

b) you can save this information in a database and set up a page to view the info.

Again, these methods are PHP dependant
