ASP Form Problem

Jseiler · #1 (**permalink**) 01-27-04, 11:13

Hi Volk

Well, it's my first time I post something in your Forum, and I hope
I don't gonna made some people cry. ^^
I already looked in the Internet if I could find any solution, but without sucsess. -_-

Well, my problem is, I get no error from the compiler, and since three day, sometime it works and sometime id do not. But three month long it worked without problem. No I ask me, are this a fault im my code or is it a Web sever error. It's not my Web Server, this one who work with Windows NT. with a ISS Version. (I don't know the version.)

Well, now to my Problem. I made a Form with ASP and used this code.

Example:

Over this, I have only normal HTML and the Language code.

<%@ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>
<html>.......

<% Dim strMessage

strMessage=""

'Antragsteller
tx_FirstName= Trim(Request.Form("tx_FirstName"))
ect.
ect.
44 Line at all.

So I tuck every form name in this code.

Then I have some If, Else, End if request.

***************
If tx_FirstName = "" Then
Response.Write "<div align=center>Bitte füllen Sie auch alles aus!Wir benötigen alles was mit einem Stern --> * angeschrieben ist!

<a href=javascript:history.back()>Zurück zum Formular</a></div>"
else
***************

Ok, new the Message for the E-Mail

strHtml = "<html><head></head><body bgcolor=ffffff>"
strHtml = strHtml & "Antragsteller: " & " "
strHtml = strHtml & tx_berechtigung_vn3 & " "
*****************************3
ect.
With the request from the Form. "tx_berechtigung”

Then I configured the code for sending to the Mail sever.
Then a If, Else, End if again.
*****************************
If Mailer.SendMail Then
SendMail = True
m_errortext = "Das eMail wurde erfolgreich ans Helpdesk TSS versendet."
Else
SendMail = False
m_errortext = Mailer.Response
****************************
Set Mailer = Nothing
If SendMail = True then
Response.Write "Bla bla bla"

else
end if

%>
****************************

If somebody wants to see the code, it would make my happy.
I didn't want to post all the code.

So did I something wrong, or is this ok, how I did it.

The only thing I would add is a check for null values in your request fields so you have have

Code:

If tx_FirstName = "" or isNull( tx_FirstName) Then

instead of...

Code:

If tx_FirstName = "" Then

and I would set a default value for SendMail so you would have

Code:

SendMail = False
If Mailer.SendMail Then
SendMail = True
m_errortext = "Das eMail wurde erfolgreich ans Helpdesk TSS versendet."
Else
m_errortext = Mailer.Response

instead of

Code:

If Mailer.SendMail Then
SendMail = True
m_errortext = "Das eMail wurde erfolgreich ans Helpdesk TSS versendet."
Else
SendMail = False
m_errortext = Mailer.Response

When it "wasn't working" what was happening? Were the emails not being sent and no message was being posted?

Hi rokslide,

Hey thanks for your posting.

I gonne try out your proposals.

Well, it happens nothing. The answer page come, and writ "Your Request was not send." and I got no error message back from the Mail server, or from the script, and in the log file from the Server, it's nothing written inside. *I gonna turn mad*

And it worked tree moths without problems. I don't understand at all.
Everybody say, it's because of my code. I don't say, it it's not impossible, but it's very queer at all. :-/

Well, I try this proposals out and will report what happen, let see if it help

Good luck. If you attach the rest of the code (you can attach files to posts) then I will have a look if I get a chance and let you know if I see anything else.

Jseiler · #5 (**permalink**) 01-28-04, 03:26

Thank you.

I will do, but first I have to try I out.

See you later

Jseiler · #6 (**permalink**) 01-28-04, 03:52

Well, I got again the same error.

"Your request could not be send."

Ok, it's my own answer.

Well I put my code in, maybe with them it is easier to find the error.
Thank you very much, I think I gonna try to set up my one Web Server,
and try it, maybe it's the Web server at all. *gg*

But i think it's my fault....... ^^

Hi there,

Thanks for uploading the file. Unfortunately the machine I'm on can't rar, it can only zip and I don't have access to download something that will rar.

Can you post the straight asp file?

Cheers

Jseiler · #8 (**permalink**) 01-29-04, 01:08

Hi,

Ups, well now here the asp file. Sorry, didn't now. ^^
(Sorry, I change the ending to txt, asp is not allowed.)

Man, here in the Switzerland it's Snowing, like I never seen at all.
Also in Bern, at all. ^^
How's the weather in Sydney? I think it's fine.

rokslide · #9 (**permalink**) 01-29-04, 18:31

change this line (it's about 9 from the bottom)

Code:

Response.Write " <p><div align=center>Ihr Antrag konnte nicht gesendet werden, bitte rufen Sie am Helpdesk an.</div>"

add

Code:

Response.Write " <p><div align=center>Ihr Antrag konnte nicht gesendet werden, bitte rufen Sie am Helpdesk an.</div>"
Response.Write m_errortext

This will mean that when the mailer fails you should see the error message as to why it failed.

Looking at the code you have it all looks good. I would guess that the mailing component has a fault or the SMTP server has a fault. Writing out the m_errortext value should help you determine exactly what is happening though an prove it is not your code that is at fault.

Sydney is quite warm at the moment 22 degrees C, aiming for a high of 29 degrees.... I haven't seen a decent fall of snow in about 4 years (which is when I moved here).

Hi ther ^^

Funny, I tried this code, but just at this moment it never give me out any error Message, and now it give me one out.

FromAddress Property cannot be blank. ???

Very strange. :-/

Where are you original from? America, Britannia? ^^

Jseiler · #11 (**permalink**) 01-30-04, 05:12

Hi again. ^^

Now I tried to install the Apache server "XAMPP" with Mod_Perl asp.

Well, I think with them it should work. But now I get from Line 41 to 199 + 444 follow error...... Bareword found where operator expected at

I upped the logfile.......

Well, however, I try now to find the newest ISS with ASP, with Apache it definitely do not work.

rokslide · #12 (**permalink**) 01-31-04, 23:51

Okie. From what you have told me you code is perfect except for the fact that is it not checking for errors that the mail component raises and it is not checking the data to ensure that when it tries to send an email it is comple (eg. the required fields are populated).

Basically you need to found out what the email component believes is a required field and only send an email if they are completed.

I'm orginally from New Zealand.

Jseiler · #13 (**permalink**) 02-02-04, 09:18

Hmm, ok.

But why did it work so long, and now after three month I don't work anymore? I think it is a sever error. It can't be.

Well, however, now the enterprise set up a new server for me.
Well let see, if it help.

>Basically you need to found out what the email component believes is
>a required field and only send an email if they are completed.

If I do right understand you mean, the mailserver must akzept the frommail with the entry or they will put out the error message "FromAddress Property cannot be blank."

Ohh, New Zealand is so wonderfull, was there not turned the Movie Lord of the Rings?

rokslide · #14 (**permalink**) 02-02-04, 18:45

Yes, you understand correctly.

Now the reason why it may have been working perfectly but no longer works,.... it's possible that the component can no longer reach the STMP server to send the email. It's possible that the component relies on some other components that have been uninstalled, or updated... there are other possibilities as well,...

Yes, New Zealand is very nice, there is not much work there though, that is why I am in Australia.
