Hey all. Could use some help. I am in the process of converting front-page to php. Need to send email upon submission. How does this look? Any suggestions/Help would be greatly appreciated.

php file:

<?
require_once("Mail.php");

function emailmsg($S-Email-Address, $Notification, $Location_Type, $Notification_Type,
$Date_Outage_Tripped, $Time_Outage_Tripped, $Date_Outage_Cleared, $Time_Outage_Cleared,
$Fix_Code, $Pool, $Node, $Location, $Impacted, $Notes, $Dispatcher) {
$recipients = $S-Email-Address;
$headers["To"] = $S-Email-Address;
$headers["Subject"] = $Notification;
$headers["Content-Type"] = "text/plain";
$params["host"] = "mail-relay.company.com";
$params["port"] = "32";
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $params);
$date = date ("l, F jS, Y");
$time = date ("h:i A");
$mail_object->send($S-Email-Address, $Notification, $Location, $Notification_Type,
$Date_Tripped, $Time_Tripped, $Date_Cleared, $Time_Cleared,
$Fix_Code, $Pool, $Node, $Location, $Impacted, $Notes, $Dispatcher);
}

?>

Html code:

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Email Tool</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#C0C0C0">

converting front-page to phpYou obviously do need some help if your converting FrontPage to PHP. Seeing as though Frontpage is a [bad] web authoring tool and PHP is an [awesome] server side language. I hardly see how you can compare the two [besides one is bad and the other is awesome...]

I thought e-mail connects on port 25....That would depend on the hosting setup.

bathurst_guy would have been undoubtedly correct a few years ago in his criticism of FrontPage. If such a package is needed, however, it is, today, probably one of the most flexible and advanced available on the market.

To convert from FP to PHP needn't be that difficult but it could be a nightmare, too. It depends on the functionality that you will be converting. FP generates both client-side scripts as well as server-side. Most of the client-side scripts will be Javascript and you should be able to use that one-on-one. The server-side scripts, which use FP-specific CGI programs, if you are using some, will be more difficult and you're going to have to take it one function at a time.

There are a lot of turn-key scripts available to - more or less - plug in place of a FP server-side function. In the mailing example you posted, this one comes to mind: http://phpmailer.sourceforge.net/ .

Look for additional packages as the need arises.
