I have office employees entering their computer problems into a web form. The form updates the database. What I would like to do is have an email sent to me letting me that someone has posted to the web site. I believe this can be done. Could someone point me in the right direction? Is there an extension, or server behavior that would accomplish this?

you can insert the codes below after $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $mfe_inquiry) or die(mysql_error()); ( that is if you created your insert record from dreamweaver. )

This is the code:
/////////////////////////////////////////

$your_variables_here= $_REQUEST['your_fields_here'];
Note: just list your fields and variables here

/* recipients */
$recipient .= " ";


/* subject */
$subject = "Subject Here";

/* message */
$messagebody .= " Insert your message here";
Note: you may use html and css here


/* additional header pieces for errors, From cc's, bcc's, etc */
$headers .= "From: $name <$email>\n";
$headers .= "X-Sender: <$email>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP\n"; // mailer
$headers .= "X-Priority: 1\n"; // Urgent message!
$headers .= "Return-Path: <$email>\n"; // Return path for errors
/* Send HTML Emails */
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\n"; // Mime type


//send the eamil now
mail( "$recipient", "$subject","$messagebody", "$headers";
/////////////////////////////



Thats it.
