E-mailing from the server

[Guest BobinLouisiana]

I designed and maintain a website for a manufacturing concern that has separate pages for each of the products made by the company. Viewers can use a link that will allow them to download and print a pdfs of the materials that they have just viewed.

 

The client would like to add the ability for a viewer to press a button and send these materials to other individuals via e-mail, much as you would do when you go to a news site and send an article to another individual.

 

How do I accomplish this. I am presently using Dreamweaver MX for my work, and I have been told that this function must come from the server. Is that correct and how do I go about this?

Sounds like you need to use a bit of PHP for this - primarily the mail() function with an attachment. These might be useful"
