Sending e-mail directly from flex.

[ganapathy subramanian]

Hi,
I want to send e-mail directly to a reciepient from flex code.
Previously i was using the
the below code

var u:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto: ");
navigateToURL(u,”_self”);

But this opens a outlook window. what i want is send a standard
message to recipent without the user's interference.

Can someone let me know how to do it.

Thanks

Hi Ganapathy,

I don't think directly you can send message from flex . I used to PHP code at server end to send mail to recipients . Call this PHP code from flex .

Hi

 

For that you will be needing SMTP protocol of some mail-server.

While sending the message(email) you need the smtp-address of the server, than only it can be done.....and again as Kiran told....its true that for that php or some server side language will be required to do this.

If you notice, generally while surfing, when we click on Contact Us or alike some link it invokes Outlook-express in system coz-

<a href="mailto::....etc... in html is written , similarly what you have coded in javascript is almost similar to that, the only diffrence in javascript and html is static v/s dynamic invokation; but the work is same.

Hi,

    I have a php in which i call the mail function. I had copied the php to the source folder in flex. I try to run my application using Tomcat server. But i found that the php was not getting called. Do i need to do something spl for php.

It would be helpful if you tell me how to use SMTP protocol in my application. Assume my smtp server address mail.myserver.com.

 

Thanks

Hi Ganapathy,

PHP is server side language , You have to copy it at server end and use HTTPservice or AMFPHP to call your PHP .

Hello Ganapathy

 

I found the solution for SMTP-code:-

 

<?php
include("Mail.php");
/* mail setup recipients, subject etc */
$recipients = "abhina...@gmail.com";
$headers["From"] = "us...@somewhere.com";
$headers["To"] = "feed...@yourdot.com";
$headers["Subject"] = "User feedback";
$mailmsg = "Hello, This is a test.";
/* SMTP server name, port, user/passwd */
$smtpinfo["host"] = "smtp.mycorp.com";
$smtpinfo["port"] = "25";
$smtpinfo["auth"] = true;
$smtpinfo["username"] = "smtpusername";
$smtpinfo["password"] = "smtpPassword";
/* Create the mail object using the Mail::factory method */
$mail_object =& Mail::factory("smtp", $smtpinfo);
/* Ok send mail */
$mail_object->send($recipients, $headers, $mailmsg);
?>

 

And for Tomcat-server cann't say, but on Apache-Http-Server 2.2(AHS) works well. For working with that AHS-server it needs configuration like first we need to install the AHS-server than there comes some php-setup, that also we have to run...and there we selects AHS 2.2 as the web-server, than it works.

In more concise- look for
 - Apache Http Server 2.2
 - Php Installer
If you make the above configuration, than I can assure you that it will works-out of your problem.
