Send FormMail to Sender's e-mail address - using variables?

I have a web form that uses FormMail to submit e-mails to me. It works
great but I have a text field titled 'e-mail' which is where the sender
types his/her e-mail address.

Is there a way to send the contents of the form to the sender's e-mail
address also? I know how to hard-code multiple recipients in the form
but since there is no way for me to know the e-mail address of each
user, can we use variables to store the value of the text field and
pass that to the FormMail script so that the script will not only send
the e-mail to me but also to the user?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Shal

think of ...

Terrible, terrible security problem in a lot of online forms.
Never, ever just send an email to an adress entered, unless you have a very
thourough CAPTCHAl, and even then.

Matt's FormMail script.

I was thinking about the spam aspect too. But this form should remain
on a private network. Could i restrict it some way?

Do you *want* your form to become an instant spamming tool?!

Yes, I want my form to be an instant spamming tool...sheesh!!

The form was only going to be used within a private network. Nobody
outside the network would have access to the form.

As I suspected. Old stuff, full of bugs and exploitable holes.

I don't use those scripts; I wrote my own.
