Automatically Email to person who submitted form

O

ocatechinc

I have a problem with a form that folks use to download
demo software. They put in fake email address.

I would like to change to form to automatically email them
a download link when they register.

I want to be able to continue to capture the form
registaton.

I have not been able to figure out how do that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Art

We have found that simply mailing a link does not stop monkey
business as once the download page is made known the URL
can be shared with anybody.

Sending the link in the mail should include a unique ID generated
and stored in the database when someone registers. The link sent
in the mail points to a script that compares the ID sent with the link
with the ID stored in the database. If the IDs match the download
can continue, if not, a 'sorry charlie' page is displayed.

I've coded this type of security solution several times over using
ASP if you decide it is going to be hired out.
