Tell a Friend / Send this page to a Friend Script

I want to add a 'Send this page to a friend' script to many pages on my site. I'm after a script which can automatically insert the current page URL in to the email that's sent. ie. I do not want a standard visit www.servername.com generic message and URL. Likewise, I don't want to manually customise the script on every page for every URL.
The URL needs to be custom for every page. Presumably a PHP script can insert the current URL... do you have or know of a script that can achieve this?

Thank you

A quick search of the open source (sourceforge, freshmeat, hotscripts) pages should turn up quite a few options.

Just working with the script and notice that it needs javascript to work - has anyone come across a version that does exactly the same, but not needing js please?

It only uses it to resize the window (which is not vital) and to validate the email address (which can be done in PHP anyways) so whats the problem?

No real problem, just need to adjust it to substitute the js with php - if anyone has any ideas that would be great.

Many thanks FiRe, I did get it before it was deleted, I'll work on it tomorrow.

Your input on this has been appreciated.

I've ended up removing most of the js. If I could do it all in php it would be preferred.

Fire mentioned
"Download file cabinet and take a look at send.php and send2friend.php"

Where are these files and or what is the file cabinet?

Thank you
