19. Sending emails
Previous pageTable of contentsNext page
In a website, emails make it possible to:
  • simplify communication between users, giving them the ability to send emails to the site manager, use a mailing list, etc.
  • send a message to customers so that they can confirm their orders.
  • transfer data between computers. For example, orders placed in a sales website are transferred by email to the company's head office for processing, etc.
WEBDEV includes two methods to send emails from a website.
1. Sending emails from the user's computer
Use this method when the user needs to send an email to a specific address: site author, technical support, sales department, etc.
EmailOpenMail opens the user's email program. Some parameters can be populated by default: recipient's email address, etc.
This method uses the user's messaging software. There are no specific processes to be performed in the WEBDEV website.
2. Sending emails from the server (Session pages or Active WEBDEV Pages only)
In this case, the server manages the emails.
The emails can be sent:
  • in the WEBDEV website directly (for an email data transfer, or for an order confirmation email, for example);
  • by the email spooler (provided with WEBDEV).
Use this method to customize the sending of emails:
  • checking the content of emails sent by the users (mailing website),
  • checking the validity of the recipient's address,
  • encrypting the information sent by email,
  • validating a process, etc.
