Jones,

I am in the process of building a PHP cURL for submissions to Exact Target.
My client would like the form info submitted and also emailed to them.
Wondering if I can do the same with your AJAX call?

Hello Cincy,
Sorry for the late reply, but you can def. do that within the same AJAX call. After you echo 'success', you can build a form using PHP's mail function. You should be able to get started using php.net/mail as a reference.
I hope that works out for yah!

Hello jones,
i want to submit an html form but the form does not do the submission by itself ,in the action part of the form i have a php file that is collecting the data and then would now submit into an api(8 fields) i have so that i receive a response and further have a redirect link to the page i should go to once the data submission is successful.
