Having a completed order form emailed to me

Hello everyone ... it's been a while.

I have a form on my company website that feeds a database with 30 different fields. Now the powers that be want to have that same form (or the data within) emailed to our corporate address. Too many fields for a mailto form. Any suggestions where I might look for guidance.

Thanks Robert

You say "Too many fields for a mailto form"? Using PHP's mail() function can mail whatever you want to where ever you want.

and by using a mailer class (e.g. Swift Mailer) you can make programming it more comfortable.
