Send Email w/ Attachment from ASP form

[laundrymedia]

Ok, so I have an HTML form that posts to an ASP page. On the HTML page, there is a checkbox for saying if a client wants a brochure emailed to him/her that is a 1.33mb PDF. How can I see when they check this and submit, have it email the PDF automatically?

any clues

thanks

To send an email, I use this function:

Code: Select all

<%
	sub SendEmail(ToMe, FromMe, Blind, Copy, MySubject, MyBody, Attachment)
		Dim MyMail
		Set MyMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
		Dim fs,f

		MyMail.From = FromMe
		MyMail.To = ToMe
		MyMail.BCC = Blind
		MyMail.CC = Copy
		MyMail.Subject = MySubject
		MyMail.Body = MyBody
		MyMail.BodyFormat = 1
		MyMail.MailFormat = 1
		
		if Attachment <> "" then 
			Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
			Set f=fs.GetFile(Server.MapPath(Attachment))
			MyMail.AttachFile  f
		end if
			
		MyMail.Send
	
'		response.write FromMe & ", " & ToMe & ", " &  Blind & ", " &  Copy & ", " &  MySubject & ", " &  MyBody
		Set MyMail = Nothing
		set f=nothing
		set fs=nothing
	end sub
%>

When you have a checkbox like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="SendPFD" value="true">
on the ASP page, I have found, you have to say
<% if response.form("SendPDF") = True then do some stuff %>

to call the email function
<%
attachment = "string that is the full file location of the file or the relative file location of the file."

sendemail toEmail, FromEmail, BCCEmail, CCEmail, Subject, bodyText, attachment
%>

see this: http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_ref_filesystem.asp for more information on the file system object. It took me quite a bit of putzing to get relative file addressing to work, but I did - mostly through trial and error.

I also recommend this site in general for basic ASP and VBScript stuff.

Hope this makes sense
