asp_web_howto thread: Sending one email a day instead of multiple.

I'm not sure whether this is a javascript or an ASP question, so I'll ask
it in both places. I have a site that has a questionnaire for fans of our
team to enter their name and addresses. Instead of having each person's
info being sent separately, I'd like to save their data in a database and
have each day's entries sent at the end of the day. Is there a way to do
this with scripting? If not, how would I accomplish this?

Hi Chris,
Usually you need to have
1. The HTML form to collect data, who submit the form to:
2. A server side script, to receive the form and to store the data in the
database
3. An ASP/HTML or php/HTML script to show you the entries of the database,
so you can invoke it once a day. (an ASP or php script to automatically
send you the entries may be problematic. (But, you can do this: each time
you receive a form, compare its date with the last-received form. If day
difference is > 0, the send the consolidated mail. Problem is, if one day
youi don't receive mail, you don receive the last days' messages )
This is a very simple setup, but you need to program to accomplish it, and
your hosting plan must include server side scripting. Brinkster
www.brinkster.com have free plans and example code, but those plans can be
unreliable.
More help, jusy ask.
