ASP Help?

February 1, 2005

I'm tryin to make this Sendmail code to send the result of a form to an e-mail, kinda like a contact form. Its been a long time since I've done this and i've lost my touch. could someone help me out?

&lt;%
 ?Dim email, name, age, grade, address, phone, email, mom, dad
 ?Dim Mailer
 ?
 ?Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") ?'create Mailer object
 ?email = Request.QueryString("email") ? ' Get e-mail from querystring/form
 ?name = Request.QueryString("frstname") &amp; " " Request.QueryString("lstname") ' Get name from querystring/form
 ?age = Request.QueryString("age")
 ?
 ?Mailer.FromName ? = name ?
 ?Mailer.FromAddress= "contactus@lala.com
 ?Mailer.RemoteHost = "smtp.lala.com" ?'Name of your mail host
 ?Mailer.AddRecipient "LALA Employee", personatthrive@lala.com 'Recipient
 ?Mailer.Subject ? ?= "Contact E-mail"
 ?Mailer.BodyText ? = "E-mail : " &amp; email &amp; "Name: " &amp; name
 ?Mailer.SendMail ?'Send mail
 ?Set Mailer = Nothing
%&gt;

That isn't complete, but I'm confused of where to go from there. It supposed to send the following fields to an e-mail, either formated with HTML or plain text

Fields:

First Name

Last Name

Age

Grade

Address

City

State

Zip

Phone

E-Mail

Mother's Name

Father's Name

Programs (Array of 6)

Thanks

You need to get the Form information from the Request object's Form collection. Then you can access the Form's fields by name/id.

so does the top part look right or no?

Not being familiar with Smtpsvg, it looks correct. You'd only need to specify the body text with the form information, marked-up with HTML.

question.... may sound odd. but should i mark it up as body = "<HTML> <body> etc etc etc" or start the HTML before the code? and continue it for the body?

It's the same most of the time, if you are sending it to a webmail based system like Hotmail, it automatically will strip that part and just display the <BODY>, in Outlook and those ones, the complete file is parsed with <HTML> existing or not, so I recommend you to send a complete <HTML> document and if you are putting CSS styles in the mail put them to be inline because most of the time the <HEAD> part is stripped out in websystems and local ones..

ANYONE see anything wrong?

[/code]<% Dim email, name, age, grade, addy, phone, email, mom, dad

Dim Mailer

Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer") 'create Mailer object

email = Request.QueryString("email") ' Get e-mail from querystring/form

' name = Request.QueryString("frstname") & " " 'Request.QueryString("lstname") ' Get name from querystring/form

' age = Request.QueryString("age")

Mailer.FromName = "Jeff Greener"

Mailer.FromAddress= "contactus@lala.com"

Mailer.RemoteHost = "smtp.cox.net" 'Name of your mail host

Mailer.AddRecipient "LALA Employee", "splendore0@msn.com" 'Recipient

Mailer.Subject = "Contact E-mail"

Mailer.BodyText = "<html>

<head>

<title>E-Mail from website </title>

</head>

<body>

First Name: " & frstname & "

Last Name: " & lstname & "

Age: " & age &"

Grade: " & grade & "

Address: " & addy & "

City: " & city & "

State: " & state & "

Zip: " & zip & "

Phone: " & phone &"

E-Mail: " & email & "

Mother's Name: " & mname & "

Father's Name: " & fname & "

</body>

</html>"

Mailer.SendMail 'Send mail

Set Mailer = Nothing

%>

I can't figure it out, i thought i was doing it right but i think im wrong....

What's you error? you need to set the content type of the message to text/html or to multipart to send a text version and a html version...

The biggest problem with this is that you cannot have line breaks within your body text.

You can do:

Mailer.BodyText = "&lt;html&gt;&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;E-Mail from website &lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;&lt;body&gt;..."

so that the body text is all on one line.

OR

you can do:

Dim strBody

strBody = ""
strBody = strBody "&lt;html&gt;"
strBody = strBody "  &lt;head&gt;"
strBody = strBody "    &lt;title&gt;E-Mail from website &lt;/title&gt;"
strBody = strBody "  &lt;/head&gt;"
strBody = strBody "  &lt;body&gt;"... 

Mailer.BodyText = strBody

Try this and let me know if this work or if you are still encountering problems.

 Mailer.SendMail  'Send mail
 Set Mailer = Nothing
%&gt;

Whats wrong now? still server error, could it be the content type? anyone remember the mailer. extension for it?

February 12, 2005

Your missing an "&" between the " " and Request.QueryString("lstname") :

 name = Request.QueryString("frstname") &amp; " " Request.QueryString("lstname")

Should be:

 name = Request.QueryString("frstname") &amp; " " &amp; Request.QueryString("lstname")

If this still doesn't fix it, do you know what the error is or are you just getting the "Page Cannot Be Displayed Error?" If the latter, than have you tried injecting any error catching to display where the error might be occuring?

Oh, try adding this code to catch any smpt errors:

 Mailer.SMTPLog = "c:\smtplog.txt"

February 13, 2005

I am getting ERROR 500, internal server error. Put that fix in and still doesnt work..

Does anyone have the resources to test this page on their site?

And the smptlog doenst create even after changing permissions,

THis is all my server log says...

[sat Feb 12 21:59:52 2005] [error] [client 68.98.23.118] File does not exist: /home/kentco2/public_html/500.shtml
