I want to make sure I have this correct

You use a form for opinions
The form information is emailed to you
You check for valid entries
You copy and paste to ???

Are you using the FPSE to do the email or a custom script?
What are you pasting the info into? A DB or a html page or
what?

My gb process
Form to gather info
Custom script to read form and send a form via an html email
I get email of form, prefilled out
If OK then I submit (elsewise delete the email)
Custom script reads my email forms information and posts to
DB
DB results wizard displays the gb contents

thanks for your reply
You use a form for opinions >>>> no I'm using php script for a email form
The form information is emailed to you >>> yes you open the form to send
an email
You check for valid entries >>>>>>> yes I receive all email on my email
address and I can check them
You copy and paste to ??? >>>>> this is the issue I need to integrate this
to be done automatically after I agree on the email form that I receive
As you wrote at the end of your reply this is exactly what I need

1- Form to gather info
2- Custom script to read form and send a form via an html email
3- I get email of form, prefilled out
4- If OK then I submit (elsewise delete the email)

Thanks

I think this is what you are doing now-
1.Your form is processed by a PHP page
2. PHP page sends you an email with the data
3. You then copy & paste the info and publish

Q1: Are you just pasting the information onto an existing
page or how are you storing it?
Q2: Is the email you receive in plain text or is it html?

I will be honest and say I do not know PHP (I do all my
tricks in ASP),but I can give you the basics of what to do,
which I believe is within PHPs realm

#1 The script that sends you the email. Modify it to send
you an HTML formatted email. In that email, put in a form
which will send the approved information to another script
on your website

#2 Use the second script page to take the submitted info and
insert it into a database

#3 Convert the 'read guestboook' page to a page which reads
the entries from the database.
