Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows how I would implement an auto mailing system into my website. Once a person has ordered I would like it to send them an email containing there virtual item.

The other thing I need is to be able to generate a random item. When somebody purchases from my site, I need it to do like a lucky dip and select a random item. It will then need to contain this item in the email! If your familiar with Modding then you will have seen automatic KV selling sites, I would need something like this but instead of a link to a KV it needs to be a random item from a list i provide.

This probably doesn't make sense but I can explain in more detail if required!

You could use something that generates a random number (php: rand())
That could then be used corresponding to an ID (each item has ID)
All of which could be pulled from a database before sending the email.

Yes this is the kind of thing I was looking for, I have seen things like automatic CD Key sites where as soon as you buy you are emailed a code from there database. The next thing I would need is for it too be a random ID and not just any ID. Are there any tutorials on or about this?
