ASP Programmer/Mailer Generator needed!!

    Hi,

    I'm looking for an ASP Programmer who would be interested in a nixer.

    The work involves creating the mailer script for an existing HTML form that includes an option to attach a file.
    I normally deal with this through PHP but the target server doesn't support PHP so I need to use ASP and don't have the time to bring myself up to scratch in ASP.

    Any Suggestions would be much appreciated

    It's dead easy. Just use CDOSYS - http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

    Hi

    Thanks for the reply.

    I had a look at the link you sent, it does look simple enough although I'm not sure how to get my variables from my HTML form into the ASP.

    Would i do the following:

    Change the areas in inverted commas into the variable names I have and then POST from the html to this ASP file?

    Original ASP

    <%
    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.AddAttachment "c:\mydocuments\test.txt"
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing
    %>

    Edited to fit my form
    (notes are in italics)

    <%
    Set myMail=CreateObject("CDO.Message")
    myMail.Subject="Application Form"
    myMail.From= "email" (Variable defined in HTML Form, users email)
    myMail.To="me@mydomain"
    myMail.TextBody="Fname, Lname, Add" (The rest of my variables from HTML form)
    myMail.AddAttachment "file1" (the location of a file as defined by html)
    myMail.Send
    set myMail=nothing
    %>

    How would I get a "form sent" page or an error page to come up?

    Much appreciate your help on this, I've been banging my head of the wall, and run out of time on this project, although I have learnt a thing or two.

    ASP or ASP.net?
    A good ASP 'formmail' script is here but ASP has no direct way of uploading files. However there are some upload scripts out there.
    Your best bet is to google for an ASP/ASP.net script

    Clone,

    PM me (or post here) with the form fields you want, and the format of the email and I should be able to lash it together quickly enough. Edit - if the webserver supports ASP.net it's an awful lot quicker, as it has it's own inbuilt upload facility.

    Hi Eoin_s

    Thanks for the reply

    I've asked someone to have a look at it for me, once I hear back from them I'll let you know, just so I don't have two people trying to sort it out.

    Not sure if the server use's ASP.NET, I'll look into it though and let you know.
