Question ID: 155592
Working as an affiliate, my site links through to a travel site with a
booking engine that returns results of price and availability in a
.asp page. I would to give my visitors the opportunity to enter their
email address to receive the results of this page. I thought this
might be possible as you can send pages by email through internet
explorer. I can frame the travel sites page to include an email box
but don't know how the mechanics of coding would work if at all
possible.
Answer  
There is no answer at this time.

Hi tobey-ga,

This is possible but you'll have to be able to access some sort of
server-side scripting language on your own webhost, such as php.  Then
what you would do is, first get input from the visitor on your page,
then using the php script, access the booking site's asp file and pass
over the input variables, parse their output, then using your page to
send the email to the visitor.

If you don't have access to code php on your webhost but you do have
access to asp, you'll need an additional component to be installed on
the server that lets you fetch remote urls from the asp script (which
most shared or free webhosting will probably not allow).

I hope gives you some ideas and possibly a general direction to focus
your searching.

Good luck,
mrbuzz-ga

It is quite easy to send emails from an asp page. Assuming you are
developing with visual Interdev, you will ned to go to "Project
references" and add the "Microsoft CDO for NT 1.2 library" to the
project. The classes and their methods and properties for CDO are
available in the Object browser window. Here is the basic framework
for sending an email from an asp page......

		Dim email
		set email  = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")
		
		message = "<HTML>"
		message = message & "<head>"
		message = message & "<title> Your title</title>"
		message = message & "</head>"
		message = message & "<body><b>"
		message = "<p><b>Your message</b> " &session("username")
		
		with email
			.From = "pingsong@dysgu.cd"
			.To = "pingsong@dysgu.cd"
			.BodyFormat = 0
			.MailFormat = 0
			.Subject = "Subject"			
                        .Body = message
			.Send
		end with
		
		set email = nothing

Good luck!
