Is there any way I can setup my form to also send an preconfigured email to the email address that the user has entered into the 'email' field, as well as forwarding the form details to my email address?
I am kind of new to PHP... sorry if this is a silly question. Thanks!
I've decided to close off the forums since they aren't used much any more and I've stopped development on the two pieces of software that these forums support. I'm leaving the forums read only for reference purposes.

Nope, not a silly question.
I think the easiest way to do this is setup some type of third party auto-repsonder software. If you don't run your own server, speak to your server admin about what type of auto-responders they have installed.

Autoresponder
An autoresponder / courtesy reply would be great. I do this:
# Autoresponder #############################################################
$filename = "answer.txt";
$fd = fopen( $filename, "r" );
$contents = fread( $fd, filesize( $filename ) );
fclose( $fd );
mail( "$email", "Thanks for your message", "$contents\n\n",
"From:webmaster@mydomain.com\n" );
#############################################################
Also allowing attachments with the coutesy reply, and a BFORMMAIL type database facility would be great.
Autorespond
Thanks Cris!
- Works perfect!.. NOW it's GREAT!
Autoresponder with PDF!!
Been trying to solve this all day, now an Autoresponder with a PDF attachment. Absolutely brill!
<?
$filename = "answer.txt";
$fd = fopen( $filename, "r" );
$msg = fread( $fd, filesize( $filename ) );
fclose( $fd );
$attachment = fread(fopen("test.pdf", "r"), filesize("test.pdf"));
$mail = new mime_mail();
$mail->from = "info@yourdomain.de";
$mail->to = $eMail;
$mail->subject = "Blah blah";
$mail->body = $msg;
$mail->add_attachment("$attachment", "test.pdf", "application/pdf");
$mail->send();
