Hi there,

I'm trying to create a HTML form which will send me an email containing the details the user inputs (name and email address) but also have 5 checkboxes in the form which they can tick to download the relevant files. I would also like to be sent in the email which files they have downloaded.

How am I able to do both functions? I have got the email part working, I just don't know how to initiate the downloading function...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Martini

Welcome to WebmasterWorld martini007 and sorry it took so long for you to get a reply.

Sending the email is the easy part, for the downloading function you are probably going to need some server-side scripting. What languages are available on your server?

Do you want the end user to be able to select the files from a list and the files to download immediately?
