Hi all,

I am trying to set-up a form in html which should email the contents, and also a automatic reply to the user(Person who submitted the form) confirming the delivery. I don’t have perl installed in the server. Is this possible without perl. If so please lemme know or point me some links where i can find some info.

Thanks

Visu

You can use ASP and CDONTS. It is very easy to set up the code. do a google search for ASP CDONTS and you will have all the tuts you need.

I think you can do it with PHP as well.

I am moving this to the Server-Side/Scripting section since that is where it belongs.

(right now it is in the Other Vector Applications \> Other section )

I’d be surprised if a server had php and not perl. I am also surprised there is no perl. Is there a cgi bin?

yea, you should be able to bust that out in php fairly easily…(I _hope_) I haven’t worked with the emailing functions in php, but I’m sure you can just search [www.php.net](http://www.php.net) for the functions and some various examples…

I built the PHP form on my site. It took me 2 days.

I am a total PHP n00b though so I don’t want to act like I know how to get it to send 2 e-mails…lol.

(although I am guessing it would work just by adding another mail() function, but like I said… I have no clue)

To do it in ASP is like 7 lines of code and you can send it in html form so you can make real pretty forms just as easy let me know if you need help. I have a email form on my site done in asp took me like 10 minutes

Well PHP you can do the same. If it works the way I am thinking it is few lines of code.

It took me 2 days to write my form because I just started learning PHP and I added my own required fields script, e-mail validation, and subject line area.

Here is the code for email. Have the action on your form point to separate page with only this code on it…no html …

```php

<% Option Explicit
dim objEmail
Set objEmail = CreateObject("CDONTS.Newmail")
objEmail.From = Request.Form("requiredemail")
objEmail.To = "you@you.com"
objEmail.Subject = "What ever you want the subject to be"
objEmail.Body = " Request.Form("form element here") & vbcrlf & _
'be sure to put all the form element with Request.Form("element")
'if you want line breaks in the format use this & vbcrlf & _

objEmail.Send

Set objEmail = Nothing

'this code down here initiates when the email is sent this can be anything you want. If you wanna send your user to a new page then use Response.Redirect("url") other wise pput what you wish here.

Response.Write"<html><head><title>Confimation</title><body><center><table width=300 border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 style=border-collapse: collapse; border-top: 1px solid black; border-bottom: 1px solid black; border-left: 1px solid black; border-right: 1px solid black; font-family: verdana, arial; font-size: 10px; color: #000033; background-color: #e9e9e9;><tr align=center><td colspan=3><table width=275 border=0 cellspacing=5 cellpadding=5><tr align=center><td colspan=3><font size=-1>Thank You Your message was sent:</font></td></tr><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td align=center onClick=javascript:self.close();><font size=-1><strong>.:close this window:.</strong></font></td><td>&nbsp;</td></tr></table></td></tr></table></center></body></head></html>"
%>

```
