Character Set

FormM@iler now supports any language that has a character set.

$charset[0]="UTF-8";

iso-8859-1 supports most standard ASCII single-byte languages for special double-byte languages, change this value to the approporiate charset for the language. FormM@iler defaults at UTF-8 which is unicode and hopefully works, by default with most any language.

Multiple Recipients

You can have email sent to multiple recipients. In addition, you can send carbon copy (cc) email and blind carbon copy (bcc) email to multiple recipients. Just separate the addresses with commas.

Reopen the file formmailer.php and find the lines:

$tomail[0]="you@yourdomain.com";
$cc_tomail[0]="";
$bcc_tomail[0]="";

Designate more recipients by adding their email addresses separated by commas:

$tomail[0]="sales@aceplastics.com,admin@aceplastics.com,records@aceplastics.com";
$cc_tomail[0]="pres@aceplastics.com,sevice@aceplastics.com";
$bcc_tomail[0]="myhome@erthlink.com,myjunk@hotmail.com";

The last of the group above ($copy_from[0]="noreply@yourdomain.com") is something different and should only have one email address, if any. That is explained under "COPY TO SENDER" below.

Copy to Sender

You can choose to have a copy of the email the visitor sends sent to the visitor also. Open formmailer.php and find the lines. (again, where the number inside [] matches the number of the config hidden field for that form).

The one limitation of email going back ot the sender is that you can not send any attached file back to the sender.

$send_copy[0]
 change the value to "yes" to turn this feature on. 
$copy_format[0]
 sets the layout of the email. Options are "vert_table" or "horz_table", anything else will result in plain text email. 
$copy_fields[0]
 has a comma-delimited list of the fields you want to include in the copied email, in the order you want them displayed. 
$copy_subject[0]
 enter the words you want to appear in the subject line of the email returned to the visitor. 
$copy_intro[0]
 is the custom intro text that appears at the top of the email body. 
$copy_from[0]
 indicates where the sender will see the copy was sent from. 
$copy_tomail_field[0]
 you want set the the name of the field which the user entered their email address.
