HTML email post with ASP script

So what's wrong with it? Looking fine so far. The only pitfalls I can forsee right now are the wrong redirect URL (which I assume you can change easily), or more rarely: CDO.Message not working properly or SMTP not configured to send to the hotmail address.

When hitting the submit button it goes to the following URL (the asp file):

http://www.batukaranglembongan.com/mymailer.asp

with the following error:

HTTP 405 error Method Not Allowed

 The website cannot display the page
 HTTP 405  
   Most likely cause:
The website has a programming error.
 
And no email is sent to bca1977@hotmail.com

Hi,

I just found out even though i was told the server supported ASP it actually does not.

I know no PHP, can you help me convert mymailer.asp to PHP or Perl?

Cheers,
Brett

now we're talking!!!

so i have to write the folliwng for each object in the form yeah?

"Category ID=" . $_POST["mail_categoryID"] . "\n" .

Cheers,
Brett

Bingo, thats right. Also you'll need to save it to have a PHP extension (mymailer.php), and have your form HTML point to it appropriately.

PS> i changed this to the following and it didn't work:

header("Location: /enquiry_sent.htm); // you might want to change this

you forgot the last quotes mark " after .htm :)

ah, thanks...

also, just checking - should this be in there twice?


    $_POST["request_details"];

cheers,
Brett:

<?php
$body="New Reservation:\n" .
    "Category ID=" . $_POST["mail_categoryID"] . "\n" .
    "Request Details: " . $_POST["request_details"] . "\n" .
      "Check in date: " . $_POST["check_in"] . "\n" .
      "Check out date: " . $_POST["check_out"] . "\n" .
      "Room Type: " . $_POST["room_type"] . "\n" .
      "Number of rooms: " . $_POST["number_of_rooms"] . "\n" .
      "How many adults: " . $_POST["how_many_adults"] . "\n" .
      "How many children: " . $_POST["How_many_children"] . "\n" .
      "Airport Pick Up: " . $_POST["airport_pick_up"] . "\n" .
      "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\n" .
      "Email Address: " . $_POST["email"] . "\n" .
      "City: " . $_POST["city"] . "\n" .
      "Country: " . $_POST["country"] . "\n" .
      "Phone: " . $_POST["phone"] . "\n" .
      "Fax: " . $_POST["fax"] . "\n" .
      "Comments: " . $_POST["comments"] . "\n" .

    $_POST["request_details"];

mail($_POST["mail_recipient"], $_POST["mail_subject"], $body, "From: " . $_POST["mail_recipient"]);
header("Location: /enquiry_sent.htm");
?>

redirection still doesn't work?

is the html file right?

          <input type="hidden" name="mail_redirect" value="/enquiry_sent.htm">

I already removed the extra $_POST["request_details"]
Cheers,
Brett

hehe nope it doesn't have to, sorry.
redirection doesn't work? what reponse do you get?
kind of a blind guess here, but try putting "ob_start();" before the mail() line.

it just loads the blank mymailer.php page

you mean like this?

"ob_start();"
mail($_POST["mail_recipient"], $_POST["mail_subject"], $body, "From: " . $_POST["mail_recipient"]);
header("Location: /enquiry_sent.htm");

didn't work...

aahggg....

for some reason the emails aren't coming through anymore....

should the PHP code be in the head or body tags?

well, forget the ob_start for now but the PHP should be in its own file.


// start of mailer.php
<?php
$body="New Reservation:\n" .
    "Category ID=" . $_POST["mail_categoryID"] . "\n" .
    "Customer Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\n" .
    // ... continue building your email layout here .
    $_POST["request_details"];

mail($_POST["mail_recipient"], $_POST["mail_subject"], $body, "From: " . $_POST["mail_recipient"]);
header("Location: /request-info/index.cfm?conf=ok"); // you might want to change this
?>
// end of mailer.php

ok, will try that, thanks.

i'm also liasing with the host to ensure they have their end covered.

cheers,
Brett

Hi I have a new php page im using instead of the mail.htm page called contactus.php

Weve managed to get it to send emails (although i had to disable the name and email checking by changing all false values to true) yet the text values do not come through... only the headings do.

Hope someone can help.

Cheers!
Brett
