Send Email without ReporCaster?
Hi everyone!!

My question is for sending an email from a web form to an especified mail, I know with ReportCaster can send mail, but where I am now, I don�t know if ReportCaster if installed.

Because of that, I wonder:

- How could I know if ReportCaster is installed in the server machine?

- If ReportCaster wasn't installed, what can I do to send a mail with the results of a form?

<form action="mailto:ibi@ibi.com"> [B]not that way[/B]!).
Greetings!! Big Grin

PD: Sorry about my english Wink

The login page for ReportCster is:

http://localhost/rcaster/main/reportcaster.jsp

Where localhost should be changed to the server name at your installation.

If the page is displayed, then the installation has ben done - this doesn't prove that the server is up and running.

As for form-based email, if you don't want to use mailto, there's resources on th web. Here's one example:

About the link you wrote, I also thougth in PHP, a web language very useful for sending mail, but the php is not installed in the server Frowner
