What I would like to do is have a user submit a form (that I've already built), such as an online application, and then process the form using PHP (??). I know it is possible to take the submitted values from the form, put them into an html file and email that file to someone. That is what I'd like to do. Take the values and information submitted in the online application and use it to email a completed html version of the application to the personnel manager.

Does anyone have any help or suggestions??? I'm in desperate need!

Meh.... don't know much about writing to files with PHP. But if all you're doing is taking the form data and putting it into an email, why not use a database, in case the email gets lost? Or a combo of both?

Submitting the data to a database would be a fairly easy task.
