Is there a way to create a button that will auto email information? It could either text or rmail client contact info. It is a membership page so there will be about eep sets of info.

Hope this makes sense - thanks all

Yes you can create a button to email info. I have some on a couple of sites. One I use to send point status for participation in events.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

How do you do that?

Since your site is a membership site you should have access to every members email address either through a database or $_SESSION variable. You create a button that's actually a form submit button.
<form class="form-container" action="email/email_members.php" method="post"><button type="submit" class="button link-button" formmethod="post">Email Members</button><input value="" name="send_email" type="hidden" class="input-2"></form>

You then can write the email_members.php script to send the proper info. You can also pass variables through a $_GET by setting the variables when the page loads.

Oh - way above me! Was hoping that there was a simple way.

I hope I'm describing correctly. Here us the site

Riveroaksnetworking.com

Under members tab you can see a the members. What they are wanting is a way to send that members into to someone they are referring them to.

Hope that makes sense.

I would setup that page so each line of persons info is actually a form. Then you either put another button next to their name or instructions to click the name to send. It's then just a matter of some php backend scripts to do the magic. I would also setup the page to take advantage of a database to generate the list of peoples info so it becomes dynamic and can be changed easily.

ERic,

I'm positive that would work but have no clue how to set that up.

I was hopeful that there was a way to set up a form or responsive email designer to do this. Even it it means having to set up a simple email for each contact. But can't seem to get past the setup of that either!!!!
