$team_id = $_POST['team_id'];
$user_type_id = $_POST['user_type_id'];
add_player($last_name, $first_name, $dob, $position, $email, $country, $city_town, $password, $team_id, $user_type_id); //edit
$team_manager = get_players();
//$to = $_POST['email']; // this is the player's Email address
$from = "teammanager0@outlook.com"; // this is the web app's Email address
$subject = "Welcome to Team Manager";
$message = "You have been added to a team on our web app TEAM MANAGER!" . "
" . "In order to login to your team please use
the following details: " . "
" . "Email: " . $email . "
" . "Password: " . $password;
//$message = $first_name . " " . $last_name . " wrote the following:" . "
" . $_POST['message'];
$headers = "From:" . $from;
mail($email, $subject, $message, $headers);
include('userPage.php');
}
and also my SMTP configuration:
[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
; http://php.net/smtp
SMTP = smtp.live.com
; http://php.net/smtp-port
smtp_port = 25
; For Win32 only.
