Matilda Johnson Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 When a visitor comes to my site (there are photos, pictures there), and wants to send some photo to his/her friend - there must be some tool permitting to do this. (Like the articles at BBC which can be emailed to any adress clicking a link "email this to a friend). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oh - you can use the PHP mail() function. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matilda Johnson Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 Oh - you can use the PHP mail() function.Actually my hosting doesn't support any scripts, and I am not a programmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 You'll need to find a host that will let you use what you need to do this. The BBC site isn't hosted on a free server. Once you get your hosting we can help with the programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really impossible to do at least anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Google host themselves, I think.You can do things without server-side scripting, but not the thing you are asking. There are some free hosts out there with quite good PHP support, but not many support the mail() function for security reasons, namely people using their servers for spam.

Matilda Johnson Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Though I am a blond - I've found such a tool called Send-to-friend. It'a remotely hosted service provided by votingserver.com. It allows to send photos and any other items (texts also) on my site. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justsomeguy Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Yeah, you would be able to use third-party stuff to do that, but you're not really doing it yourself. It's a good way to learn the basics though. But you should be able to find a free host that supports PHP, you might have to do some digging though. There is a thread here for hosting discussions, you might want to check there. Or else, it might be worth it to pay a couple bucks a month and purchase hosting where you can do whatever you want. If you want to look into that check out something like hostgator.com. Google host themselves, I think.That's a bit of an understatement. Google has the single largest hosting operation in the world, they have more computing power online then anyone else, and it's all to host only their own stuff. They have several facilities worldwide to host their server farms. Here's one of their larger datacenters that they built in Oregon, it has 2 warehouses that are each larger then a football field that will hold tens of thousands of servers. The cooling towers on each building are over 4 stories high.http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&...mp;t=h&z=15 (the picture looks pre-construction)http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/14/technology/14search.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
