good morning,
I am trying to add an email notification ( to myself ) after user has submitted an image to our db.
have tried several of the scripts and snippets found when googling, none of them seem to work for me.
the submit.php I’m using is as follows:
<?php include("header.php");?>Category
?>
<?php echo $subcat['c_name'];?> <?php } ?>Image File
Your Email address
Submit
any help would be greatly appreciated …
Well, your submit code is JQuery, not PHP. So, not sure how this would be done with your code.
But, here is some sample PHP code to send out an email. It is designed to pull a couple fields
from your form and send them inside of an HTML email. Note, since the email is an HTML version and
not just a TEXT email, you can program in a lot of nice graphics and the such. Note that the logo
is a graphic and must be stored on your server. This is just sample code, you need to work up your
own version and post your form with the correct data…
[php]
';
// To send HTML mail, the Content-type header must be set
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'To: ' . $email . '\r\n';
$headers .= 'From: Important Message the world of Ernie! ' . "\r\n";
// Mail it
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
?>
[/php]
I used this same code to explain to another newbie on the site. It should give you an idea how to send
an email with many of the common options that you might need. Hope that helps…
thanks Ernie, couldn’t quite work out how to use your code, but thanks anyway.
I found a very simple solution working, but it emails me upon loading of the page, what I really need is it to email me upon clicking of submit button ( so an “if” statement ) plus a value from the form ( “img-title” )
see below the code of the page - the email code is at the bottom and I have added where I need what.
I have looked at how to use the “if” statement but just cannot it to work for me, any help appreciated
page code :
<?php include("header.php");?>Category
?>
<?php echo $subcat['c_name'];?> <?php } ?>Please zoom into design as much as possible.

“SOLVED”
realised I was trying to do this from the wrong page - changed to the actual submit page. php containing upload to database and therefor the variable I needed - working now…

Well, sorry I didn’t help more. But, very glad you solved it on your own. Feels good, doesn’t it! ? !
Congrats! See you in your next post…
thanks ErnieAlex
yes, it feels good, but also stupid that I didn’t work it out a little faster.
it turned out to be pretty simple and straightforward in the end, (once I was on the correct page of course 
)

Just one last tidbit with the jquery. You might have issues with users using chrome. I’ve found that using .on hasn’t worked for me in the past. I had to switch to .click() to get the code to work. Though with the form library, u might want to use .submit instead.
thanks for your input richei, no complaints from users so far, so I’m going to leave it for the time being, but I have saved your suggestion just in case I do get problems… thanks again.
