(Classic) ASP Email Form?

[MagSafe]

Hi folks,

I'm wondering if someone can give me a bit of a hand with sending an email via ASP?

I have my form as follows:

<form action="index.asp?pg=11" method="POST">

<input type="hidden" name="subject" value="Inquiry">
<input size=40 name="fullName">
<input size=40 name="email">
<input type="text" name="country" size="20">
<input type="text" name="partySize" size="20">
<input type="text" name="arrivalDate" size="20">
<input type="text" name="departureDate" size="20">
<textarea name="comments" rows=6 cols=40>
<input type="submit" value="Submit" name="Submit">

</form>

...but i'm not sure how to turn that into the ASP code for actually sending out the email to a fixed address. I've looked at a few tutorial sites but they looked extremely complicated compared to the php one i already have.

Cheers,

Steven.

It's not complex - I wonder what sites google threw up that look complicated...

The code to send the mail should be in the target of the form (naturally):

Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
objMail.From = varName & " <" & varEmail & ">"
objMail.To = "[email protected]"
objMail.Subject = "Contact from Your Website"
objMail.Body = varBody
objMail.Send
Set objMail = Nothing

Hardly rocket science.

Cheers mate

So, should the following code work? (based on the form fields i posted originally)

<%
	fullName = Request.QueryString("fullName")
	email = Request.QueryString("email")
	country = Request.QueryString("country")
	partySize = Request.QueryString("partySize")
	arrivalDate = Request.QueryString("arrivalDate")
	departureDate = Request.QueryString("departureDate")
	comments = Request.QueryString("comments")

	varBody = country & partySize & arrivalDate & departureDate & comments

	Set ObjMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
	objMail.From = fullName & " <" & email & ">"
	objMail.To = "[email protected]"
	objMail.Subject = "Enquiry"
	objMail.Body = varBody
	objMail.Send
	Set objMail = Nothing

	Response.Write "Thanks, your enquiry has been sent and we will get back to you shortly"
%>

Yup, that should work fine - assuming that CDONTS is working OK (works off of the local IIS SMTP server, which can either act as a server or as a relay).

You'll have to stick a newline (vbCrLf) in-between the parts of the body to make sure they end up on separate lines in the mail. There's other CDONTS properties to set to send an HTML email, but I am again assuming that you are happy with text-only mails.

HTH!
