hello all.

does anyone know how to create a small asp program that will send to a specific email after a user has inputed their info in some forms..

for example... this is the form...

<Form action="something.asp" method="post">
<p>Enter your name :
<input type="text" name="name" size="20"/></p>
<p>Enter your email :
<input type="text" name="email" size="20"/></p>
<p>Prayer Request :</p>
<textarea name="comments" rows="4" cols="36"></textarea><br><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
<input type="reset" value="Clear"/>

when the user presses submit, the info will be passed to the webserver where something.asp is, and that asp program will return all the info to a particular email address..

another example would be, when someone enters John Smith , john@smith.com, and please pray for my health....... John Smith presses enter...

all the info will be sent to the server, and the asp will process that info, and send me back everything John Smith filled in, but to my email account..

hope this is not too confusing..

thanks..

your asp page would look like this:

<%

'This is collecting the information from the form

name = request.form("name")
email = request.form("email")
comments = request.form("comments")

'This is setting the body of the email

mailbody = ("Name: ") & (name) & (" Email: ") & (email)
mailbody = mailbody & (" Comments: ") & (comments)

'This is using CDONTS

Set objSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objSendMail.To ="enter your email address here"
objsendmail.from ="put anything you like here"
objSendmail.subject= "anything you like"
objSendMail.Body = mailbody
objsendmail.send
set objCDOMail = nothing

%>

That will send you an email with all the details that were entered by a user, you may want to format the email using html just so it looks nicer.

would i keep the form elements as it is though?

[DJ-TM]

yep keep all you input boxs/text area the same as you have them now.

just make sure to put the name of the asp page in the action propety of the html form.

[charliekim]

oh , so that asp code will be in a separate asp page..

i can create that in text pad, and save it as mail.asp for example.
?

[charliekim]

this is the asp code that you gave me, but have modified for my specifications.

<% @language = vbscript %>

<% Option Explicit %>

<%

'This is collecting the information from the form

name = request.form("name")
email = request.form("email")
comments = request.form("comments")

'This is setting the body of the email

mailbody = ("Name: ") & (name) & (" Email: ") & (email)
mailbody = mailbody & (" Comments: ") & (comments)

'This is using CDONTS

Set objSendMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objSendMail.To ="ck@akyg.com"
objsendmail.from =name
objSendmail.subject= "Prayer Request"
objSendMail.Body = mailbody
objsendmail.send
set objCDOMail = nothing

%>


all seems ok?

and for the objsendmail.from = name

i took out the double quotes so the variable can be passed, rather than "name" appearing as a string literal.

please check it out for me
thanks you

just a couple of points :

if your using option explicit you will need to declare all you variables e.g.

Dim name, email, comments, mailbody

also would it not be better to have

objsendmail.from = email

rather than

objsendmail.from = name

so there email address appears in the from field,.

also the objsendmail.from property must not contain any spaces or it will not work.

[Mithrilhall]

objsendmail.from = Replace(email, " ", "")

That should help with spaces.
