Discuss "Simple way to email form" in the ASP Development forum.

Rebelle · #1 July 14th, 2008, 11:00 AM

Hi All,

I'm going to be creating a new form using asp that will update a sql database but would like to know what is a simple way to email the form info using ASP. I've googled but found only in php. Should send email at the same time of updating the database.....

Thanks in advance for your help!

You need to know what system your site is hosted on, Windows or Linux as the methods are different, also you can check out you hosts FAQ and see what method they say for sending mail.

Belle - Run this script on your server to see which of these common mail components you have: http://www.developerbarn.com/classic...nent-test.html

Once you know what component you have available, do a Google search on that specific component to learn how to use it.

If your on a Windows based host you should be able to use

Code:

 
  Set objCDOSYSMail = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message")
  Set objCDOSYSCon = Server.CreateObject ("CDO.Configuration")
  objCDOSYSCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...ion/smtpserver") = "SMTP SERVER ADDRESS"
  objCDOSYSCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...smtpserverport")  = 25 
  objCDOSYSCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...tion/sendusing") = 2 
  objCDOSYSCon.Fields("http://schemas.microsoft.com/cdo/con...nectiontimeout") = 60 
  objCDOSYSCon.Fields.Update 
  Set objCDOSYSMail.Configuration = objCDOSYSCon
  objCDOSYSMail.From = strFromName & " <" & strFromEmail & ">"
  objCDOSYSMail.Cc = strFromName & " <" & strFromEmail & ">"
  objCDOSYSMail.To = strToEmail
  objCDOSYSMail.Subject = strSubject
  objCDOSYSMail.HTMLBody = strBody
  objCDOSYSMail.Send 
  Set objCDOSYSMail = Nothing
  Set objCDOSYSCon = Nothing

In that case, here's a very simple example:

Code:

<%
Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="Sending email with CDO"
myMail.From="mymail@mydomain.com"
myMail.To="someone@somedomain.com"
myMail.TextBody="This is a message."
myMail.Send
set myMail=nothing
%>

Hiya,

I tried the code in post above but running into the following error:

Code:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040220' 

The "SendUsing" configuration value is invalid.

Do I need an stmp mail server line?

or is this error something else I'm doing incorrectly?

Line in red.

Code:

Dim myMail
Set myMail = createObject("CDO.Message")
myMail.Subject="a new form has just been submitted"
myMail.From="xxx@company.com"
myMail.To="yyy@company.com"
myMail.TextBody="this is a test"
myMail.Send

Set myMail=nothing

Try Icoombs example

Rebelle · #9 July 28th, 2008, 11:42 AM

with icoombs example, i get the following error:

Code:

CDO.Message.1 error '80040213' 

The transport failed to connect to the server.

I'm still trying to make sure I have the correct server info here....

is there another way i can test to see if email will work for my server?

Check with your host, they may have a FAQ or you will have to contact them.
