PHP e-mail that goes directly into db

[tejas]

I am new to PHP programming. On my site, i asking users to login, but it is just a simple e-mail form, which comes into my inbox.

this is what i would like to do:
when user logs in, their information gets stored in the database and not come into my inbox.

this might be a stupid question, but i am learning :)

I am using ipowerweb as my hosting service.

By the way, this is my first post and i find this forum very useful, so i thank you all.

Keep it up.

Looking forward to your responses.

Hi tejas,

Welcome to WebProWorld,

Can you clarify what you mean by logging in ??

If this log in is just sending you an email, then what exactly are they logging into ? I don't quite understand.

Maybe you can provide a link also ?

Not so easy to achieve, unless someone can find a free PHP script that does it ?

Here is what you have to do :

1- don't send the form to an e-mail, but send it to a PHP page

2- use that PHP page to read the form's fields. Here is the PHP code for that :

<?
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $name=>$value) $$name=$value;
foreach($HTTP_GET_VARS as $name=>$value) $$name=$value;
?>

This will store your form's fields values into the $fieldsname PHP variables. Regarding the *method=* of your form, you will get the fields via the *http_post_vars* or *http_get_vars* line.

3- Now that you have the values within PHP variables, just store them into your PHP database...
