I do not know ASP programming and although I am a programmer, I am
having a difficult time with this simple form script that was given to
me by the hosting company. I have asked these questions 5 times, but
with ESL they are having difficulty understanding them.
I am doing this as a favor for a friend. I'm not getting paid for it
and I have spent a lot of time trying to find online, some other
secure code for free.
Here is the situation: The form takes the information and credit card
info from the user and originally emailed it to the owner (which
wasn't secure). So now we have the form on the secured site and I have
this ASP script that I don't know what to do with it.
Here are my questions:
1.) folder myAbsolutePath = "d:\home\YourDomainName\_private\"
WHERE IS THIS FOLDER CREATED/LOCATED?
�IN THE DATA FOLDER on the SSL site?
Does a _private folder need to be created then? (How is it done?)
or ON THE MACHINE IN THE OFFICE? Where? This address implies the
desktop. If this is the hard drive of the machine in the office,
how does it know how to get back to the desktop machine.
1.) Is the script file(given below) stored on the SSL server as
SaveResultInFile.asp or included in the code of herbs.htm ? If the
script is not stored on the server as a separate file AND it's not
stored in the HTML code of the form document, then WHERE IS IT STORED?
This is a simple question, where is the script stored in order to be
used/reference? What folder would it be stored in, if not in the HTML
code for the form document?
2.) Is this File myPrivateResultFile naming the file result.txt? -
Then what happens if someone else places an order right after it,
wouldn't it get overwritten with that same name?
How could we use the person's last name as the filename instead?
3.) Are there any other variables that need to be replaced with a
specific designation in the code that you've provided above? e.g.
Request.ServerVariables("URL") Does URL mean that we have to supply
the URL of the secured site or the home site OR is URL a reserved word
or a CONSTANT OR does URL mean something else?
4.) What is this folder myAbsolutePath used for? What goes into it? By
any chance would that be the scripting file? Where would be the better
place for this folder to be located? Does it need to be secure?
5.) How do we get the information in a secured way back down to the
desktop in order to process the order?
The website is: http://healing-arts-alliance.com
where at the bottom of every page there is a link to:
SSL URL: https://gh.cartmedia.com/ssl10073/herbs.htm the form
Here is the script that was given to me:
=======================================================================
Function SaveResultInFile ( Path, NFile )
filespec=Path & NFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If (fso.FileExists(filespec)) Then
Set f = fso.GetFile(filespec)
Set TextStream = f.OpenAsTextStream(8)
TextStream.Writeline "========================="
TextStream.Writeline Now & " posted from : " &
Request.ServerVariables("URL")
For each item in Request.Form
If Request.Form(item)<>"" then
M=item & " : " & Request.Form(item)
TextStream.Writeline (M)
end if
next
TextStream.Close
set f=nothing
set TextStream=nothing
else
Set Folder = FSO.GetFolder(Path)
Set TextStream = Folder.CreateTextFile(NFile)
TextStream.Writeline "========================="
TextStream.Writeline Now & " posted from : " &
Request.ServerVariables("URL")
For each item in Request.Form
If Request.Form(item)<>"" then
M=item & " : " & Request.Form(item)
TextStream.Writeline (M)
end if
next
TextStream.Close
set TextStream=nothing
end if
set fso=nothing
end function
myAbsolutePath = "d:\home\YourDomainName\_private\"
myPrivateResultFile = "result.txt"
' You need to have write permission to folder myAbsolutePath
SaveResultInFile myAbsolutePath, myPrivateResultFile
