Hi Guys
I am moving hosts and going from a windows server to a linux server.
One of my main problems is that on one of my sites, I have 100's of
pages that have a form on them. This form goes to an asp file which
then emails me the details they filled in.

What can I use that will work on a linux server ?
Any ideas guys ? - [And I am completely dumb if it is perl etc]

Thank you.
plh
Paul

You can run ASP pages on Linux:
http://www.apache-asp.org/

Hi Fernando
The pages are html. That is all I work in. I cannot get my head around
php and do not like it. When I said perl etc PHP was the etc <G>

Just need something where it can be embedded into the html file and
when they fill out details to be emailed to me.

Thank you anyway.

I can ?
I was under the impression that asp did not work on linux.
Will there be a lot to redo, or can I use the same code as what I have
on the windows server ?

Hi Paul,

http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/scripts.shtml

and download the compat version of FormMail. This is a replacement of the
notorious FormMail written by Math (which had at some time more security
holes then Vista and XP combined :-) )

Let me know if you need with installing it etc.

Yes, and no.

ASP is a framework, like CGI. It needs a programming language to do the
work. I guess your software is written in VBScript, and AFAIK (but can be
wrong) ASP on Linux doesn't support VBScript. It does support Perl in the
ASP framework, but that doesn't you.

Oh man, you are telling it now?

Care to share your url?

http://www.chembuddy.com/?left=contact

Both call php script and send info to me. Is that something similar to

If your new host cannot provide ASP server, they suck.

Hi Borek
Sorry for the delay. Medical reasons.

http://www.houstoncrafts.com

The forms are on the sold section. Here is one of the URLs that
contain the form.

http://www.houstoncrafts.com/sold-ha...-bracelet.html

This goes to an asp form :

<%
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
Mailer.FromName = "Paul Burke"
Mailer.FromAddress= "webmaster@houstoncrafts.com"
Mailer.ReplyTo = strEmail
Mailer.RemoteHost = "216.74.123.55"
Mailer.AddRecipient "Houston Crafts", "webmaster@houstoncrafts.com"
Mailer.Subject = "Request for a remake"
strMsgHeader = "This mail message was sent from the Houston Crafts
Sold Jewelry Online Form" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
Mailer.BodyText = strMsgHeader & vbCrLf & "Email: " &
Request.Form("Email") & _
vbCrLf & "Name: " & Request.Form("name") & _
vbCrLf & "Subject: " & Request.Form("Subject") & _
vbCrLf & "Comments: " & Request.Form("Comments")
IF Mailer.SendMail THEN
Response.Write strFirstName & "<br />"
Response.Write "Thank you."
ELSE
Response.Write "The following error occurred while sending your
message: " & Mailer.Response
END IF

I don't know php Borek.
I need to move hosts asap. Learn a new shopping cart and get this
script working. I dont have the time or the thinking behind it atm. I
had a hard time trying to get my head round php when i was mentally
okay, now I am on heavy medication.

Borek, do you use PHP's mail() function or the phpmail() function?

I think there's other packages available as well.

The PHP mail() function gets described here...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

bool mail ( string to,
string subject,
string message
[, string additional_headers
[, string additional_parameters]] )

You might need to watch the following if your newsreader/email
reader breaks up long lines ( >70 characters ).

<?php
// Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("SMTPsvg.Mailer")
// Mailer.FromName = "Paul Burke"
$sNL = "\n";
$sFrom = "Paul Burke <email@example.com>";
// Mailer.FromAddress= "webmaster@example.com"
// Mailer.ReplyTo = strEmail
// $sTo = $strEmail;
$sTo = $sFrom;
// Mailer.RemoteHost = "xxx.xx.xxx.xx"
// above is unknown
// Mailer.AddRecipient "Houston Crafts", "webmaster@example.com"
// $sFrom could be added as a header
$sHeaders = "From: $sFrom\nTo: $sTo\n";
// Mailer.Subject = "Request for a remake"
$sHeaders .= "Subject: Request for a remake\n";
// strMsgHeader = "This mail message was sent from the " & _
// "Houston Crafts Sold Jewelry Online Form" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf
$sBodyTopic = "This mail message was sent from the Houston
Crafts Sold Jewelry Online Form\r\n\r\n";
// Mailer.BodyText = strMsgHeader & vbCrLf & _
// "Email: " & Request.Form("Email") & vbCrLf & _
// "Name: " & Request.Form("name") & vbCrLf & _
// "Subject: " & Request.Form("Subject") & vbCrLf & _
// "Comments: " & Request.Form("Comments")
$sMessageText .= $sBodyTopic .
"Email: " . $_POST['Email'] . "\r\n
Name: " . $_POST['name'] . "\r\n
Subject: " . $_POST['Subject'] . "\r\n
Comments: " . $_POST['Comments'] . "\r\n";
$yDidIt = mail($sTo, $sSubject, $sMessageText, $sHeaders);

// IF Mailer.SendMail THEN
// Response.Write strFirstName & "<br />"
// Response.Write "Thank you."
// ELSE
// Response.Write "The following error occurred while sending your
// message: " & Mailer.Response
// END IF

if ($yDidIt) {
echo("$strFirstName<br />\r\n";
echo("Thank you.\r\n");
} else {
echo("<p>The following error occurred while sending your message:\r\n");
echo("UNKNOWN ERROR: Some data you entered is invalid.</p>");
}

?>

The above should be fairly close to accomplishing what you need,
provided the server automatically configures a FROM address in
the PHP.INI file. The other questionable items above, involve the
$_POST variables. The case MUST match for each of the items,
because PHP matches the case exactly. This also s prevent
SPAMMERS from using your form to generate spam.

Hope this s some. It should be pretty close to what you need.

Wow !
that is all waaaaaaaay over my head.
Thank you for putting the time and effort into it.
When the site is on the new server, I will try and sort it out. That's
if I can.

Thank you again

Nah, not really. The lines that start with two slashes, are
your old lines (the two slashes denote them as comments).
I changed the email address you listed to keep it from
getting spammed. I changed the IP number as well, as
you shouldn't have posted either of those.

With a little effort, you should be able to get it to work. If
you need some , post questions to the comp.lang.php
group if you want. There's a couple guys there that are
quite ful. Just make sure you leave off the IP numbers,
mail server names, and the email addresses to keep the
spam from going to those accounts. Use things like:

webmaster@example.com

to denote your email address. I don't think you'll need to
post any sort of IP number at all, nor even a mail server.
Most use some sort of "sendmail" to get outgoing mail to
go out to you and PHP's mail function tends to support
such a mechanism. It's all transparent to you, so the only
thing you need to get familiar with for the moment is the
mail() function...

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php

And it has three required parameters and an optional
parameter (the headers) to put some extra headers onto
the email (required to send out any sort of object file).

It's easier than it initially appears.

I've gotten the mail() function to work for me and it works
quite well.

Unless your newsreader breaks up the lines in the message
I sent here, there shouldn't be any problems with it.

Hope this s.

Good luck. I read the PHP newsgroup as well, and post
a question every so often there.
