Form submission as email Attachment

[lholland421]

Hi All,

I have a working form which submits to email and i am just wondering if when the user submits the form it can be put through as an attachment on the email. Like a word document with the form submission in there?

 

Just a thought and thought i may as well as the question

 

Thanks in Advanced !

Any Help With this?

Which platform are you working ? If it's IIS / C# might be able to help

Is the form submission handled via PHP then?

[lholland421]

It is indeed

Have a look at this: PHP: Sending Email (Text/HTML/Attachments)

 

and this: PHP: fwrite - Manual

 

The idea being that you write the contents to a temporary .txt file (Word will be more difficult as you'll need to know how to create the file headers and write the text out in the correct format; it doesn't seem like there'd be any benefit to Word over basic txt here though...), attach it to the email using the above as a guide for that, then delete the temporary file.
