yea i know but i need some type of sample to show how php is used within dream maker. Does it come with it do i need to plug something in. Its not seeming to work for me

also considering i have no knowledge with html, php(specifically have just heard of it today while researching), i have no knowledge of networks. So it spells a bad time for me trying to figure it out. I need way more help than that other guy.

PHP doesn't come with DreamMaker, it's completely separate, it is a server side language that runs behind a webserver.

You'd want to look up how $_GET & mail() works at the very least, from that you would use world.Export() to pass certain things to the web address, ie demo.byondpanel.com/mailscript.php the script does the rest.

I suggested using cURL since you're on BYONDPanel I can open a lot of things up for you to use.

Again, as I mentioned cURL with MailGun will result in a better and quicker mail experience for you.

If you really need help with that, I may be able to whip something up for you.

//Secret API key
#define SEC_API "key-thisisanexample"
//specify your domain, especially good if you've got more than one domain name linked on MailGun
#define DOMAIN "byondpanel.com"

    verb
        testMail()
            var html = {"
                <div style="color:red;font-size:20px">Testing html</div>
                <div style="float:right">[usr.key]</div>
            "}
            sendMail("TO","FROM","Subject",html)
proc
    sendMail(mailTo,mailFrom,mailSubject,mailBody)
        shell({"
            curl -s --user 'api:[SEC_API]' \
                https://api.mailgun.net/v3/[DOMAIN]/messages \
                -F from='[mailFrom]' \
                -F to='[mailTo]' \
                -F subject='[mailSubject]' \
                -F html='[mailBody]'\
        "})
