Tell a Friend / Send this page to a Friend Script

[jackdack]

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.

Hi, I'm just trying to do this as well - which one did you use please?

[jackdack]

download the zip from [scripts.digitalmakers.com...]

[Dexie]

Many thanks for that, much appreciated.

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?

[FiRe]

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?

[Dexie]

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

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

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

Your input on this has been appreciated.

[jackdack]

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
