html cdonts from access

benbramz · #1 May 27th, 2005, 02:53

hi

im fairly new to asp and am trying and sort of succeeding in picking it up. however i keep having problems along the way, as you do when learning new languages.

anyway, i am wanting to open a db and send a html email using cdonts.

what i am wanting tho is for the email to contain info from the database

like welcome [name of person in db]

now as far as my asp knowledge goes is adding a new record and displaying all the records in a page.

can anybody show me how to open the db and use the values to send the email with relevent data in.
thanks alot

this is some really old code i dug out, it does the job....

Code: Select all

<%
Dim strConn
strConn = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("emails.mdb") & ";"

Const adUseClient = 3
Const adOpenKeyset = 1
Const adLockReadOnly = 1

Set objConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.open strConn

Set objRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objRS.CursorLocation = adUseClient
objRS.CursorType = adOpenKeySet
objRS.LockType = adLockReadOnly
strQuery = "SELECT [Name], [EmailAddress] FROM [tblEmails]"

objRS.open strQuery, objConn, , , adCmdText

If objRS.RecordCount = 0 Then
%>
no emails on list
<%
Else
 Do while Not objRS.EOF

strMessage ="<html>"& VbCrlf
strMessage = strMessage &"<body>"& VbCrlf
strMessage = strMessage &"Dear "& objRS("Name") VbCrlf
strMessage = strMessage &"</body>"& VbCrlf
strMessage = strMessage &"</html>"& VbCrlf

Set obCDOMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
obCDOMail.BodyFormat = 0
obCDOMail.MailFormat = 0
obCDOMail.Importance = 1
		
obCDOMail.From = "sender name<sender-email>"
obCDOMail.Value("Reply-To") = "sender-email"
obCDOMail.To = Trim(objRS("Email"))
obCDOMail.Subject = "subject"
obCDOMail.Body = strMessage
obCDOMail.Send
Set obCDOMail = Nothing
strMessage = ""
		
objRS.MoveNext
Loop
End If
Response.Write "

Sent " & objRS.RecordCount & " Emails."

objRS.Close
Set objRS = Nothing

objConn.Close
Set objConn = Nothing
%>

hope that helps

hi

cheers for tht but i may have explained it wrong. i thought that html was structured the same...im not sure what you gave me does. u see i used microsofts example of how to do html cdonts. this is the script from the page.

Code: Select all

<% 
 dim Connect, Classifieds
Set Connect = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
 connections
Set Classifieds = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Classifieds.Open "SELECT * FROM profile", Connect, 2, 2 
Classifieds.AddNew 
if filename > "" then
Classifieds("image") = TargetURL
else
Classifieds("image") =  "/"&folder&"/blank.gif"
end if
Classifieds("name") = name
Classifieds("posted") = DATE
Classifieds("username") = username
Classifieds("email") = email
Classifieds("password") = password 
Classifieds("question") = question
Classifieds("answer") = answer
Classifieds.Update
Classifieds.close
set Connect = nothing



dim Mail
    Dim myMail
    Dim HTML
    Set myMail = CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

    HTML = "<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC""-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN"">"
    HTML = HTML & "<html>"
    HTML = HTML & "<head>"
    HTML = HTML & "</head>"
    HTML = HTML & "<body bgcolor=""FFFFFF"">"
    HTML = HTML & "welcome message....[/b]</p>"
    HTML = HTML & "

<font size =""2"" face=""Tahoma"">"
    HTML = HTML & "Dear , Thankyou for signing up 
Your account details are as follows:
"
    HTML = HTML & "Username: 
"
    HTML = HTML & "Password: 
"
    HTML = HTML & "Secret question: 
"
    HTML = HTML & "Answer: 
"
    HTML = HTML & "</body>"
    HTML = HTML & "</html>"

    myMail.From="someone@microsoft.com"
    myMail.To="g@msn.com"
    myMail.Subject="Sample CDONTS HTML Message"
    myMail.BodyFormat=0
    myMail.MailFormat=0
    myMail.Body=HTML
    myMail.Send
    set mymail=nothing
    Response.Write "Message Sent!"

For example what im wanting the script to do is on line 38 id like the name to be displayed in the email with other account info (lines 39-42). and in the TO part of the script line 47 id like the email field in tere. hope tht makes sense.
thanks for the reply smokie - much appriciated

benbramz · #5 May 31st, 2005, 15:36

hey

cheers smokie but i got a good asp tutorial and anaged to do it. just was a case of using

& Classifieds.Fields("wheatever").Value & in the lines inside the thml email. you see i did not use the &'s which was the problem.

cheers for the replys!

i thought id add this on the same topic as it a differnt problem with the same script.

ive changed how i use the email now, and its done from a form. im using a form instead of a db to add fields to the script but it wont send. its fine when i place my email address in the 'to' like above.

Code: Select all

myMail.From="administrator@*.com"
    myMail.To=request.form("mailto")
    myMail.Subject=request.form("subject")
    myMail.BodyFormat=0
    myMail.MailFormat=0
    myMail.Body=HTML
    myMail.Send
    set mymail=nothing
    Response.Write "Message Sent!"
    %>

this is the code, the subject line works, not the to one, yet they are both the same.

im stumped

thanks
