Re: General VBScript Questions

So, suppose you have a website and need to generate an email whenever
another service (i.e. Paypal) invokes a URL which points to your
website ...

Is having a VBScript on your website one way to do this?


My own site is on Unix, so I use PHP and
Perl if I need to do things like that. I don't know
anything about running ASP. Some people here
probably do, and you might get a good answer,
but I expect you'd be better off finding an ASP
group.

It's a bit awkward. This is a VBScript group, but
VBS is used for several very different things. If
you look at the posts here you'll see that lots of them
deal with network admin's issues - using scripts
on commercial networks. Other people are writing
script utilities with IE - sometimes for fun, sometimes
commercially. A lot of people are discussing WMI,
which is actually entirely different, but it shows up
here because people using WMI are often using it
through VBS. So a few people who show up here
will be dealing with ASP, but it's not an ASP group.

ASP is a serverside paltform where you can use VBscript and J[ava]script
in your file and the result will render an html file that is sent to the
client browser.

try:

microsoft.public.inetserver.asp.general

However it pays of to first read the archive of a NG,
before asking questions that have been answered.

Studying faqs and tutorials also helps, starting with:
