Hi All,

What specifically do you need help with?

You can check php.net/mail for the syntax and examples to send an email from PHP.

To store data in a database, start with php.net/mysql_connect.

Sorry for taking so ong to reply, I wanted to be notified in some way whenever a new user registers onto the site, but I figured it out..this is not where I needed to apply the notifying code (which is actually a simple chunk of code using the mail() function), i put the mail() code in the function where the data entered is verified against the employee table...

//send email
$to = "somebody@somewhere.com";
$subject = "New Account Registered";
$from = "Application";
$msg = "User ".$username." (".$Badge.") has just registered. \nKindly contact the Administrator for access type to be given.";
$mailsend = mail("$to","$subject","$msg","From: ".$from."\r\nReply-To:"somebody@somewhere.com");
echo $mailsend ? "An email notification was sent to the System Administrator." : "The email notification wasn't sent to the System Administrator. Kindly go to the 'Contact Us' link on the home page and let us know. Thank you.";
