JMAIL vs CDONTS vs CDO

[RedRaven]

The example at
http://asp.hostned.com/cdonts/
has a link at the bottom
"CDONTS can be downloaded here"
that takes you to
http://hostned.com/scripts/
which does not have the CDONTS script info
only the JMAIL scripts

then if you click the link that takes you to
http://asp.hostned.com/
and select CDONTS it takes you to a test page.

Where's the CDONTS code sample?
If it is not available then how about not offering it.

JMAIL works but it sends 2 duplicate emails.

Very annoying

OH yes:
at:http://www.w3schools.com/asp/asp_send_email.asp

it states

"How about CDONTs?
Microsoft has discontinued the use of CDONTs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003. If you have used CDONTs in your ASP applications, you should update the code and use the new CDO technology."

It sujests using CDO
But CDO on hostned account does not work either

What to do?

I think that CDONTS example is outdated and will be removed soon.  For sending emails from a web page I recommend PHP mail() because it is platform independent which means it works on both Windows and Linux servers or any server that runs PHP.  Since PHP is more universal, using it to send mail makes sense and if your site ever migrates platforms, it will still work

Try the SFEPS Form to Email Script.  It is very secure and easy to set up and will work on any server that supports PHP scripting.

Thanks, but I do my own coding in VBscript for web applications.  And I like to have a tight handle on the code.  PHP is a great language.  Have to learn it someday.  I know more than 15 languages now. 
COBOL,JCL,ASP,VBscript,HTML,APL,DL1,SQL,PowerScript,JavaScript,Fortran,APS,BAL,etc.............. and a bunch of esoteric ones.....

I would love to learn JAVA or C#.  The later for use with PowerBuilder and Visual Studio.

They are all the same but different.  That is they are like SUV's, you just have to figure out where all the buttons are. LOL

Thanks

As for JMAIL, it works like CDO, but it sends 2 duplicate emails out for every submission.  Now maybe that's just the server I don't know.

I understand.  For the duplicate email with Jmail issue, just submit that in a support ticket and a tech can help you out with that.
