Anyone know the code for this

Hey, you know on websites when you register for stuff, a 'welcome' e-mail is automatically sent to the address that was entered? Does anyone know the HTML/java code needed to set this up?

Thanks in advance.

You need to use scripting, most sites nowadays will use ASP or PHP, it's not that difficult to do, although the server you are hosting on needs to be able to run one of those languages.

Can the server you are hosting on handle PHP or ASP?

It can handle PHP, not too sure about ASP, never heard of that. Do you know what the PHP code would be? (I dont know how to do PHP coding at all. Just HTML and a bit of Java).

Thanks for your help.

Sorry mate, it's been so long since I've done anything like that in PHP I can't really help you.

Have a search around for a tutorial...there's some good stuff on webmonkey.com - not necessarily how to send emails, but with the bit of a programming background you have it should help you out - , I'm sure if you have a wee hunt around a few sites you'll be able to find what you're looking for.

At least now you know what to search for, sorry can't be any more help.
