Hello Guys, I was wondering whether there is some script or something that I can run on my site. I basically have a form that generates a pdf on my server. The only problem is that I have to log in to the server to retrieve the file. Is there some script I can run that will just automatically email me the file? I am using a linux server. I can use PHP or mysql. I also have access to cpanel Thanks |

Why can't you alter the script to do just that - generate the PDF and email it to you? Or at least email you an alert? If you can't alter the script, perhaps you could set up a cron job to check for a PDF in a given location every hour or so and email you if it finds one? |

Because my programming skills suck. I can alter something to my needs if it is already there. I can't write it from scratch. Thanks |

Sounds like it's probably going to cost you a few bucks then, unless you can find a pre-existing script to do it for you, although I don't imagine you will have an easy time finding such a script, as what you are looking for is somewhat customized. |

Post the script you have (the pdf generator) and maybe we can make some suggestions. Doing new things is the best way to learn. |
