HTML Help -- Form Submit Button.

DarinT · Sep 28, 2001

I'm working on my first HTML project in a while [ http://www.PerfectComputingLLC.com ] and I want to notify the users when the page is complete. So, I want to have a form field were they can enter their email address, and click a submit button. Behind that, I would like for these email addresses to be written to a text file or something along those lines. I'm pretty sure that the hosting company is running IIS 5.0 (nice and patched too, so please don't do anything ), so the server can do all of the neat asp stuff if necessary.
Thanks...

To write the data into a file using ASP, try looking at the FileSystemObject documentation here. This should keep you occupied

You can easily use Perl or PHP for this. Nice and simple

Here's a signup form I used for a football pool using Access...

<%
' Grab the HTML Form Fields
name = Request( "name" )
email = Request( "email" )
phone = Request( "phone" )

Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("\path\file.mdb")

mySQL = "INSERT INTO players ( name, email, phone) VALUES ( '" & name & "','" & email & "','" & phone & "')"

Conn.Execute mySQL

Conn.Close
Set Conn = Nothing
%>

<html>
<head><title>savedata.asp</title></head>
<body>

<a href="default.html"> Return to home page.</a>

</body>
</html>

Okay. Here is what I've got for the code so far. I havn't made the Access database yet, but otherwise, does this look okay to you guys?

<form name="email" method="post" action="post">
<input type="text" name="email">
<input type="image" border="0" name="emailbutton" src="images/requpbutton.gif" width="142" height="40">
<%

emailbutton=Request("email")

Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

Conn.Open "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("\database\emailrequest.mdb")

mySQL = "INSERT INTO emailupdates ( email) VALUES ( '" & email & "')"

Conn.Execute mySQL

Conn.Close
Set Conn = Nothing
%>
</form>
