Webform to FM 5 DB and send an Email with contents

[jrr316]

Greetings All!

I, like alot of people, was dropped into using FileMaker as our main Problem Tracking and Asset Data base. What happens is a user can "Report A Problem" on our Intranet and have it email me and it also logs the problem into our problems data base. The issue I have is that the mail function that I am using does not constantly email me. Once in a blue moon I will get an email. We are using a script called FX.php that calls on a mail function to do the emailing. Is there a more streamlined way of doing this? :confused:

The PHP mail() function running on OS X or Linux should be reliable. If it is running on Windows that may be a different story!

What sort of testing are you able to do?

What does the PHP scripting look like?

All the best.

If you have problems with using the mail() function, you might want to check out PHPMailer, as well. It's an emailing object and gives you more control over exactly how your email is delivered (sendmail or smtp, for example).

PHPMailer: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net
