send mail using fmp iwp

[hpw]

hi there!

i'm customizing the clienttracker template for use in our company and am trying to find out how/whether it is possible to send mails directly out of the fmp database using fmp iwp (with no fmp-software installed on my pc).

In a word: No.

Others have come up with:

1) Setting up an FMP Client that loads the database and runs a looping script to "sweep" emails from a queue, or

2) Using the OpenURL command with a "mailto" URL entered. This technique has substantial problems.

If it helps, here is the solution we provide our customers. It requires them to have PHP installed on their computer.

Yes, but with PHP and IWP you can do this for free.
