Send Email using a WAP-Enabled Phone
This is a simple demonstration of how you can send email using a WAP-enabled phone and Active Server Pages. It's a simple demo so that the essence of the technique is not obscured by unnecessary complexities.
This is an old demo from 1999. I tried removing it on several occasions because there are many newer, better-understood ways of accomplishing the same thing, but I keep getting repeated email about it, so I've resurrected it. Unfortunately, I am not aiming to keep this page updated as new technologies come and go.
More Information
This version of WAP Mail is written for the Persits.MailSender component. If you use another email component, it is easy to modify the lines of code that actually send the email.
You can extend the sample in various ways as follows:
- Adding a simple email validator function to see if the From: & To: are valid email addresses.
- Adding more fields, such as Cc: & Bcc:
- Allowing the user to enter more than one email addresses separated by
; (semi-colon's) and splitting them using the Split function.
- Creating a user database to save the trouble of entering the From: address everytime. You could ask the user for a username, look up the From: address from the database, and use that automatically.
