mail forward script too simple

I'm trying to set up my pdf form user-entered data to be sent to my site and then automatically forwarded to my webmail.

(pdf formdata.xml --%26gt; www.mysite.com/userform/forwardphp.ini --%26gt; mymail@mysite.com)?The data is xml files approx 2-3 kb in size each.

The pdf form is fine, my question regards the php script to do the forwarding. I found a sample script in my hunt which seems to be all I need, but as I know next to nothing about php, I'm afraid it might be too simple, just a fragment of a larger script needed to do the job.

%26lt;?php

$txt=formdata.xml;

$txt=wordwrap($txt,70);

mail(''mymail@mysite.com'',''User Data'',$txt);

?%26gt;

I'm also concerned that this tiny script doesn't remove the original xml file it received from the pdf, out of the website userform folder.

I hope someone will help.

Hi David, thanks for your quick reply

Regarding the .ini file, I'm just showing my ignorance of scripting. Perhaps I should have said feedback.php instead?

The xml data file coming from the Acrobat LiveCycle form works fine. It behaves very similar to a .csv file. They can be imported into excel, or in my case, I simply import each one back into my original pdf form, where it populates the form and I can then print or save the filled in form as a complete pdf. Of course there are other more sophisticated ways of handling form data, but for my purposes this works fine.

When I get back to the office Monday I will add the last line that you suggested, post the script and try it ''live''.

Thanks again. Maybe I should invest in a book, like PHP for Dummies, volumes 1 thru 18? ?As you are knowledgable in the subject, would you care to share with me and others how YOU went about learning php for the first time?
