What do you mean by file a specific file by user or all users get the same file?

Here is a small script that will email a link to an email address

You can use it by creating a Form in HTML and calling this as the action and using method="POST".

Remember that the fields in your Form need to be the same as those in the script, ie name and email.

Save this script as a PHP file with a name and that is the name to call for the action


<?php
//variables

//form contents
$txtName=$_POST['name'];
$txtDemande=$_POST['email'];
$txtName = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtName);
$txtEmail = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtMail);
$txtLink = "put your link here";
$Myemail="your email address here";


$message ="This is your Link :\t$txtLink\n
\n"
$subject = "Your Link is Here";
$mailheaders = "From: $Myemail <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $Myemail\n\n";
$theiremail = $txtEmail;

//send mail
mail($theiremail, $subject, $message , $mailheaders);
?>

It's missing a semicolon after the $message variable, here's a fixed version:



<?php
//variables

//form contents
$txtName=$_POST['name'];
$txtDemande=$_POST['email'];
$txtName = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtName);
$txtEmail = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtMail);
$txtLink = "put your link here";
$Myemail="your email address here";


$message ="This is your Link :\t$txtLink\n
\n";
$subject = "Your Link is Here";
$mailheaders = "From: $Myemail <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $Myemail\n\n";
$theiremail = $txtEmail;

//send mail
mail($theiremail, $subject, $message , $mailheaders);
?>

Sorry about that, typo on my part, I defined $_POST['mail'] into the wrong variable name, this version should send an email.


<?php
//variables

//form contents
$txtName=$_POST['name'];
$txtMail=$_POST['email'];
$txtName = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtName);
$txtEmail = str_replace(array("\n","\r"),'',$txtMail);
$txtLink = "put your link here";
$Myemail="your email address here";


$message ="This is your Link :\t$txtLink\n
\n";
$subject = "Your Link is Here";
$mailheaders = "From: $Myemail <> \n";
$mailheaders .= "Reply-To: $Myemail\n\n";
$theiremail = $txtEmail;

//send mail
mail($theiremail, $subject, $message , $mailheaders);
?>

That's easy enough, in the PHP file, after the ?>, you can start an HTML file.

Eg


?>
<HTML>
<head>
</head>
<body>

</body
</HTML>

Then just put your scripts, styles, etc in the head section, your divs, tables, etc in the body, as normal

alright... everything is very much perfect!

just the last things... can we create a session id along with every link so that it should last for only 15 or 20 mins... i mean i don't want the visitors to pass over the link.

i know this is some database thing included... but please let me know???

I don't know if you will find this helpful but it is similar to what you are trying to do.
