Digital Workshop

Hi
Just a quick question. Ive built a questionaire that users fill out at the end of a training course. It asks questions like, did they enjoy the training, how do you rate the trainer etc....

the results Ive managed to write to a .txt file. Is there an automatic way this could be emailed to me.. or attached to an email e.g. the users outlook opens with my email address filled in, and the txt file attached?

If I ask users to attach the file themselves I dont think they'd bother!

any ideas on this much appreciated.
thanks

Many possibilities.

thanks for those links... sounds promising solutions, but i guess I'll have to "suck it and see!"

thanks

No need to suck,

There are pretty much three ways to achieve this:

Use the variable that stores the path for your file to attach the text file to an email using the built-in email function. This requires that the user has access to an email system on their machine - unlike yahoo / gmail / etc. However, it will work if MS Live is installed under W7.

Or use the above method, but insert the variables that would have been in the text file directly into the body of the email - this can be made simpler by concatenating the variables into a single string.

Or lastly, if you have access to PHP on a server, you can post the variables via a URL and use the PHP script to mail the results to yourself, thus avoiding any problems of the user not having email.

They increase in order of difficultly and all work as I have used them for various clients over the years.
