From Lingo to Transcript

[Mark Smith]

Stu, perhaps you need to format the data you're sending as an http  
form (name/value pairs)?

so

put urlEncode("vto=" & "jdoe at 123.com") & "&" into tFormData
put urlencode("vfrom=" & "jsmith at xyz.com") & "& after tFormData
etc.......

which you could split out to a function:

function makeFormData pInputArray
   repeat for each line K in the keys of pInputArray
      put urlEncode(K) & "=" & urlEncode(pInputArray[K]) & "&" after  
tFormData
    end repeat
    delete char -1 of tFormData -- get rid of trailing "&"
    return tFormData
end makeFormData

so in your script:

put "jdoe at 123.com" into tFormArray["vto"]
put  "jsmith at xyz.com" into tFormArray["vfrom"]
put "Quiz Results" into tFormArray["vsubject"]
put "Your Quiz Results" into tFormArray["vbody"]
post (makeFormData(tFormArray)) to URL "http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/ 
mailer.cgi"
put it


Best,

Mark
