The "SMTP" action saves the results of the current form to the stack. The
current content of the stack is then sent via SMTP E-Mail to a specified E-Mail address.
The SMTPC action performs the same function, but clears the stack after processing.
The recipient E-Mail address is encoded as part of the action. The mail server that will
be used is specified as part of the Compiler Options
dialog. (Hint - some mail servers are public - you may not need to set one up yourself -
experiment a little :-)). The HTML page to jump to after the E-Mail is complete may also
be specified after a + sign.
Specify this action as the ACTION parameter of the FORM tag. For example, to specify that
you want to e-mail results to the address
john.doe@somewhere.com
when the user submits the form, and then jump to the thanks.htm page specify
FORM Method="POST" Action=SMTP?john.doe@somewhere.com+thanks.htm
The user must have an already active TCP/IP connection when they submit the form,
which you may want to mention somewhere on the page this action is on.
The information is returned in "Name=Data" pairs. For example
Name=Peter Piper
Address=1, The Causeway
Address=Smalltown, SomewhereVille
Address=Lower Bogotwana
Telephone=001 123 456 7890
WouldLike=Catalog
You should also review the Compiler Options dialog
where details of how you can encrypt the data resulting from Form Processing is discussed.
