My clients want to capture visitor information on their home page with an offer to receive a free brochure. They want visitors to be able to complete a form with their name and email address, then click the “Get my free brochure” button. Upon clicking the button, they want a couple of things to happen:

 

 

• Safe Launch wants to receive an email notification with the visitors contact information
  
• They want the visitor to automatically receive an email containing a PDF of their brochure (or a link to the PDF that’s on their server)
  
• If someone fails to complete all the fields and clicks the submit button, then they should see a message prompting them to go back and complete the required fields
  
• When someone successfully completes the request, they should see the “Thank you” page.
  

Is there a way to get a normal form to do do #2. That's what I'm most interested in learning how to do.

 

Thanks!

Hi Seth

 

Its easy enough to send an email on submition to the user and the site owner i do this when some one registers on my site ,i have an email script i can send you for sending atachments i am not sure how it will cope with sending pdf though but i am sure it could be worked out,and then using javascript alert on submition you could detect if a field is empty if all is correct send the user to thank_you.html

 

hope this makes sence

you could setup an special email address these querys come to and then have a autoresponder that will bounce a email with the pdf back.

 

put i'm sure there should be a way of doing it with PHP

hey elite could you send me that script? PM me and I'll give you my email address. that would be a great help. I could do it this way. they fill out the form they get an email with a link to download the pdf.

could you not just link the Pdf from the web page ie <a href="assets/sample.pdf">clck here</a>

 

would that not work for you
