PHP and/or ASP

[DJ P@CkMaN]

hey, i have a site and i want to make a form that has about 8 text fields and a submit button and when the button is pressed, it emails all the information entered to a certain address. is this possible without any add-ons installed on the server end??
please help

For ASP you can use their CDONTs already a part of ASP. It is a little limited but it works. Not sure about PHP tho. There are components like ASPmail you can buy for a minimal fee also.

DJ P@CkMaN , did you get this figured out. If not let me know and I will post an ASP solution for you.

i have not figured it out but i have decided i would prefer CGI if at all possible. but your the expert, you tell me which is easiest, CGI or ASP. also, if it would be easier, just email me with the code.

also, here are the pages i want the code for, you fill in all the info and the submit button emails it to me.

THe only problem with ASp is finding a server that supports it. Almost all servers support CGI and it's not that hard to use. Didn't realize we were doing it for you tho.

well if there was someway i could learn it i would do it my self, but i think i got it under control, i have a pc world mag that tell me how to do something similar with PHP

Does the server support PHP?

This is a pretty simplistic demo but I think you will get the idea. Basically you have two text boxes one to act as the text to send and the other to fill in the email address.

Once submitted the information will be sent to the email address you entered. One thing to remember you will need a host that supports ASP, most Windows servers do. And you will need some sort of mail component. I used Jmail (free for personal use) but you can use any including CDONTS. You will just need to modify the script slightly to work with your component.

Edit - Since the HTML is turned on here at TSG the code was being displayed as regular HTML. You can see the code here:

Simple asp code:


This gets values from a previous page but you can submit to the page that processes the script. I just started working with php at home and have no clue how to do this in that yet, sorry.

(Please dismiss the .. before everything, I don't know how to get the code to appear otherwise)

Sorry about the dead link above. I have updated the demo so that it is a working example. On the second page you will get all the code exactly as it is inside the two pages.

Here is the new link:
