I dont think you need a mail server for shans code, I also dont really know much about sql as i'm just getting around to PHP, but it should mail you the information in the text boxes. What exactly are you trying to do?

real_in · 10-17-2004, 02:01 PM

hey sippin sorry for replying late in this thread,actually my ISp was down, well what i want is that a user enters some data in the textbox defined on a webpage and when he/she clicks the button behind that box, it simply sendds the data to my mail address and redirects the user to some other page,

Umm.. this is what the title of this thread is..

Grab a Data..

can you help me now..

sachin!
