Hi all, I've got a question that I'm sure can be answered, but I'm a
little stuck right now...
I've set up yelvington's excellent annotate script, and it works
beautifully. My next step was to try to add an auto email function to
notify me when someone has posted a comment, and send me the entire
question list. (I'll be using this for client feedback)
Everything works extremely peachy, EXCEPT the mail gets posted on
every page update, not just on the button press.
So the question is... is there a way to create this feature that only
occurs when the submit button is pressed?
Below is the code in it's entirety, with this code:
<?require($DOCUMENT_ROOT . "/annotate.php3"); ?>
being placed in the html document.
Thanks a million in advance. (btw, if you do choose to answer this,
cc me as well, as I'm on digest.)
Jeff
