Sending a form to an email

Basically I want to make an app where the user just fills in a form and then that information can be sent with a click of a button to a specific email.

Is that possible to do in construct at all? I tried some examples but couldnt get any of them to work

Hi blurymind,

of course; with C2 (nearly) everything is possible!

The easiest way, which comes in my mind, is using the AJAX plugin to give over informations to a PHP script. Take a look at: http://teachingyou.net/php/simple-php-c ... sing-ajax/ - that should do the trick (transfer your data from your project with POST to the backend script and see the magic happen).

You could also take a look in here (dont know the current state of the plugin): send-emails-with-construct_t167741

or

In any way you'll also need a SMTP server.

Hi again,

as far as I know its not possible to send a mail without an outgoing server. The only way without having a smtp server, which comes in my mind, is setting up a temporary, local, one. The problem could be (in fact, its a great thing - but not for your idea <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> ), that most hosters (aol, hotmail, gmx, etc.) will definatly decline your mail (not even putting it into spam - it just wont be delivered) because your IP may be "unknown" (or you just got one, which was banned before).. chances are huge, when setting up a local smtp on a not static IP, that your users will run into this. Maybe checking a users IP (tools like http://mxtoolbox.com/blacklists.aspx) could secure, that a sended mail will be delivered, but dont count on that.

You could possibly just setup a new outlook.com account; enable pop/imap functionality (in order to also enable external mailsending via smtp) or get a domainhosting. Dont know about free-mailhostings if you can "spoof" your sender-address (turning XY@outlook.com into XY@something.com - but I dont think that free hoster will do so); otherwise the reciever will get your sended mails with its original domain (@outlook.com or something).

(in short: easiest is getting a hosted domain with mails; setting up a php backend-script and sending mails over that - that will secure that your mails are delivered in *any* case and that you got a professional looking domain like "support@yourgame.com" and not a junky one like "mygame12345@outlook.com" <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink"> )
