Dreamweaver File Upload in a Form

    I know I can set a form to upload a file to the server using the file field. Can it also be used to send the file in an email form to an email address? I don't want the files on the server, but to be sent to a user.

    Thanks for any help.

    You will need a smtp account first and to connect thru that and send the email.

    I think there are quite a few scripts that already do that, so you might want to do a search 1st.

    I had found some code to add to my form, but it kept rejecting my form on the server end. So is this mainly a server settings issue?

    THanks for your post.

    Make sure your server has a service called sendmail installed. Sendmail is what allows PHP scripts to send mail through SMTP.
