This has to be easier than I'm making it.

I have a client that wants the date/time a form was submitted to be a field identified in the form mail he receives. I told him to look at the email date/time but he wants to copy/paste the fields (including date/time received) from the email into a client tracking database. How can I add a field to the form mail with the date/time of the form submission?

In addition, users can request several different kinds of quotes from different forms. How can I place a form-specific, static comment on each form identifying the form itself in the form mail?

Thanks

masscraft,

For the First Request:

All you need to do is in the form action script (which will be a CGI program ASP or PHP) file to generate the time as a part of mail body.


For the Second Request:

if all type of quotes are in a select box, use that in a Select Case statement of a CGI program (ASP or PHP) and include the static comment based on the quote selected.

If you don't have the quotes in select box instead you have different forms include the unique form name as a value of a <input type="hidden" value="formname"> and when the form gets submitted grab this value and use it.


Hope this helps.
