I am constructing a webpage where a visitor can input a number. That number
is then compared to a list and the visitor is advised that the number is
acceptable or not as the case may be. So far so good and all works well.
What I want to do then, is to send the number that was inputted, unbeknown
to the visitor, to an email address, . i.e.the page that the visitor sees,
doesn't change.

Do I need to get the variable containing the number into a form? If so, how
do I export the variable to another page?
Can someone please point me in the right direction please? Somehing quite
simple would be preferable with no bells & whistles.

Many thanks,

Geoff.
 
You would have to use custom written server-side scripting (ASP, ASP.net, PHP, etc.) to accomplish
this. It can NOT be accomplish using the FP Form Handler.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Do you think I would stand a chance Googling
for something like this???
 
You already have a form of some sort for them to enter the number
- that form is being sent somewhere or processed somehow to check the number
So in that "process" just also send the form data (the number and page as fields) to your email address
