How do you add a forward to a friend script on a newsletter

That sounds incredibly easy compared to what I was expecting, though I really wanted some kind of out of the box solution.
Does anyone know of any scripts that do this at all?

This is a program that does it on their server.

Surely there is a way to do this?

Hi kiranvj
After looking and looking for an easier option I couldn't find one so I have tried what you have said.
The only problem is, I don't know how to enter the email entered into the action of the send button?
Can you help please?

Here is the form code I have:

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
          <label>
          Email: </label>
          <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="70" />
        </form>
        <br />
        <form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="">
          <label>
            <input type="submit" name="Send" id="Send" value="Send" />
          </label>
        </form>

in the email body  try this, not sure if it work, but give a try :)

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="your_mailer_page in  your site" target="_blank">
          <label>
          Email: </label>
          <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="70" />
        </form>
       

        <form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="">
          <label>
            <input type="submit" name="Send" id="Send" value="Send" />
          </label>
        </form>



Another good method.

You can give a link in your newsletter like

<a herf="landing_page.php" _target="_blank">Forward to friend</a>


and in the landing page you can give like this

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="emailer_page.php">
          <label>
          Email: </label>
          <input type="text" name="email" id="email" size="70" />
        </form>
       

        <form id="form2" name="form2" method="post" action="">
          <label>
            <input type="submit" name="Send" id="Send" value="Send" />
          </label>
        </form>


in the emailer_page.php you can use your existing code which you are using to send newsletter email.

hope this helps,

I still have to somehow attach the newseltter also?
Have a look, I started another thread here:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/HTML/Q_24633759.html#a25047486

I am getting awfully confused and would dearly like a bit of help..?

Ok, this is getting more detailed than I need.
I basically want this
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/sendtofriend/

in PHP

I think the only way I can get this to work is if i have a URL to send the friend to.  There isn't one in my program I use to send the newsletter so I can't do it!

This was discovered in this discussion

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Web_Development/Web_Languages-Standards/HTML/Q_24633759.html

This wasn't really the solution but the expert helped so well, that he deserves the points

Thanks snowball,

If you could tell me in which area you are stuck I can help more. No need of posting new question for this.
