i have designed and implemented an asp site that allows users to register online and they decide what password they want , but i want to be able to include codes that will send a mail to the user on registering thanking him/her for registering with the site,please help ,thank you.

Hi

Code I used was this:


strEmail = request.form("Email")
strBody= "Thank you for your request"

set objEMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
     objEMail.To = strEmail
     objEMail.From = "[email protected]"
     objEMail.subject = "Confirmation"
     objEMail.body = strBody

     objEMail.send
    set objEMail = nothing

response.redirect "registered.asp"

However this does depend on which dll is installed. The above uses cdont.dll which usually ships with Win2k but can also use cdosys.dll which has a different format.

Hope this helps.

thanks how do i know the dll to use because i searched and found cdosys.dll on my system, am using win xp
and secondly where precisely is the code to be placed is it in the registration form or validation etc.i'll send a sample code to you.

Hi

Code would go in the validation page. There's another posting which demonstrates how to code a cdosys page.

that means i can not use

strEmail = request.form("Email")
strBody= "Thank you for your request"

set objEMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
     objEMail.To = strEmail
     objEMail.From = "[email protected]"
     objEMail.subject = "Confirmation"
     objEMail.body = strBody

     objEMail.send
    set objEMail = nothing

response.redirect "registered.asp"


but ithink i want to try it out now, is it worth trying or i just go for the link you sent to me

If you only have cdosys.dll installed then I would go and try the link.
