Matt's Formmail.asp question

viol8ion · Sep 30, 2002

I am a novice with ASP, being forced to use it for my form mailer at work since they insist on using an NT webserver. I am fairly adept at PHP3 and Perl.

I am using Matt's formmail.asp and I need to take the results of the form and either print them on the confirmatipon HTML page to which I redirect them after they send the form.

Or, another possibility would be to email the form to their email, in which case I would need to dynamically snag their email and use it in the recipient field.

Is either possible, this script seems to be rather limited from the documentation that I have been able to find.

thanx in advance When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

If the web server is running NT then you should be able to make use of the CDONTS component to do what you need to do. There are many articles on the Internet about using CDONTS, but this one is pretty good -

Hope that helps.

here you go, have any form submit to this page naming it email.asp
to test it.

************************* email.asp *********************

<%
Dim objMail
Set objMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail&quot

HTML = HTML & "<HTML>"
HTML = HTML & "<HEAD>"
HTML = HTML & "<TITLE>Send Mail with HTML</TITLE>"
HTML = HTML & "</HEAD>"
HTML = HTML & "<BODY bgcolor=""lightyellow"">"
HTML = HTML & "<TABLE cellpadding=""4"">"
HTML = HTML & "<TR><TH><FONT color=""darkblue"" SIZE=""4"">"
HTML = HTML & now() & " - "
HTML = HTML & "This is an HTML formatted email</FONT></TH></TR>"
HTML = HTML & "<TR><TD>"
HTML = HTML & "</FONT></TD></TR></TABLE><BR><BR>"
HTML = HTML & "</BODY>"
HTML = HTML & "</HTML>"

objMail.From = "FromYou@ISP.com"
objMail.Subject = "Here's your first ASP email using CDONTS"

'you need TO add these lines FOR the mail
'to be sent in HTML format
objMail.BodyFormat = 0
objMail.MailFormat = 0

objMail.To = "YOU@ISP.com"
objMail.Body = HTML
objMail.Send

Response.write("Mail was Sent&quot

set objMail = nothing
%>

************************* email.asp *********************

OR

You can simply send it in plain TEXT if you wish...
