php email?

[rob1]

Im thinking of creating a simple email form that will allow me to have a drop down menu and depending on what item is selected then it will email different email address for each menu item. I would also like the option to have cc somewhere so maybe the sender (or another email address) could get a copy as confirmation of the data entered.

I've looked on different sites and they have said that not all hosting providers allow email to be sent and some allow but restrict certain features. Does anyone know if bluehost support this feature and also if they support phpmailer, as i heard it is real easy to use and can do many more things than standard phpmail.

if anyone has already done something similar then it would be great if they could also share the code with me

The only restriction that BlueHost place on sending mail is to limit the total number of emails you can send in an hour. The default limit is 50 but they will increase that to 500 if you give them a good enough reason.

Which script you use on your site for sending mail is up to you. BlueHost have a form2mail script preinstalled which they call BlueMail. There are a couple of mailing list scripts available to install from Fantastico. You can also manually install any script you like.
