One inputs their 10-digit mobile number, selects their carrier (from a drop down menu), then click send, and voila! The individual gets my canned msg (which is merely the url to my mobile site) sent to their mobile phone. Now, what I'd also like to do is have another similar form where as the visitor inputs their 10-digit mobile number, selects their carrier/service provider (from a list of 4 or 5 carrier email adresses), then when the visitor clicks send...the msg is sent directly to my email adress (gmail) where I would receive their information (i.e., 10-digit mobile number + carrier email address).
You see, Walkere... I can see the beauty of the html/php connecting the mobile number with the chosen carrier adress (i.e., '10-digit number@txt.att.net') ala the html drop down menu... yet I cannot figure out how to modify my php to have the info sent, not to the recipients phone, but to where I want it to go...which is my email portal. And when it comes to my email (gmail) I want the msg to read as 'From: 5552125555@txt.att.net'. The end result is for me to garner a mobile subscriber list so I can send sms product updates direct to subscribers phones.
It'll work even if the numbers and carrier email adresses come separate within an email, yet it would be more efficient if they came already strung together (5552125555@txt.att.net). Hope what I'm saying is making sense to you. Thanks!

so far i can understand is that you want to send the message to your email id. in tht is the case why dont you use mail().
