( I posted a couple of days ago Subject: Re: Send formmail data to Email and Database ), not knowing where to put the Mail() into my own code. I am working on it but no success yet.
But, my real question in this topic; with formmail.pl using Sendmail your able to use "recipients_alias = myemail@xxxxxxxxxxx" inside of the FormMail.conf file. So this means you can hide the email address in the configuration file without it being seen in the page source.
How do you accomplish the same with Mail()? i.e. hiding the email

Well this shouldnt be any problem. I suspect you dont know how to set up the email routine since your asking.
All you need to do is insert a sendmail script together with the update of the mySQL database. You could use PHPs internal functions for this, but Ill recommend you using PHPmailer which is heavily documentet with tons of examples on how to use.
The PHPmailer is located at sourceforge and you should find it right away. It has to be the most elegant way I know of sending emails from PHP scripts.
And as a bonus, the PHPmailer is under active development so you will most likely never run into problems using it, :)
