sending mail after registration
how is it possible to send an email to a user after they have submitted a form?
a lot of sites send out a welcome email after you have registered. i have just built a registration system and was trying to find how welcome email are sent.. the only i can find on here and other sites is send-mail forms which would send the data to me and not the database.
any help would be appreciated

Using PHP you use the mail() function on completion of the form (and insertion in the database)
php.net is very handy as it lists all the functions.
Hotscripts.com is handy for scripts

I just finished a site and used a script from this site. (It's the MD Contact download.) There's an option to send an email to the user that just submitted contact inforrmation. I don't know if that's what you wanted or not. I like the form as you can use it to email more than one person when submitted. So for the site I just did, both owners received the form input.
