Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Folderpath=server.mappath("\") & "/cgi-bin/guestbook"
Wcounter=Folderpath &"/counter.txt"
I am trying to add a guestbook to my web site and I found asp code very
simple guestbook nothing fancy here
I question I have is stupid but I am not sure what the asp programmer is
looking for here.
the line Folderpath=server.mappath("\") & "/cgi-bin/guestbook"
server.mappath what should I put there?
in windows explorer I have c:\inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin
My server name is pcserv01
in IE7 I can get to the default web site via
www.tomtest.com
on the default.htm page I have a hyperlink to guestbook.htm which is the
form for this asp code.
So I am not sure what to place in server.mappath
here is the entire asp code
<%
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Folderpath=server.mappath("\") & "/cgi-bin/guestbook"
Wcounter=Folderpath &"/counter.txt"
if request.form<>"" then
Wemail = Request.Form("visitorsemail")
test1=instr(Wemail, "@") ' value must be >1
test2=instr(Wemail, ".") ' value must be >4
test3=len(Wemail) ' value must be >6
test4=InStr (test1,Wemail,".",1) ' value must be >test1+2
if test1<2 OR test2<5 OR test3<7 OR test4<test1+3 then
response.write(Wemail & " is not a valid email address<p>")
email_Test=0
else
email_Test=1
end if
if email_Test=1 then
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fs.FolderExists(Folderpath) then
Set a = fs.OpenTextFile(Wcounter)
counter = Clng(a.ReadLine)
counter = counter + 1
a.close
else
Set a = fs.CreateFolder(Folderpath)
counter=1
end if
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(Wcounter,True)
a.WriteLine(counter)
a.Close
Set fs=nothing
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fs.CreateTextFile(Folderpath & "\" & counter & ".txt")
a.WriteLine("<b><a HREF=mailto:" & Request.Form("visitorsemail") &
">" &
Request.Form("visitorsname") & "</a></b>")
a.WriteLine(Request.Form("visitorsmessage"))
a.Close
Set a=nothing
Set fs=nothing
end if
end if
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFolder(Folderpath)
Set fc = f.Files
Response.Write ("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>Guest book</TITLE></HEAD>")
Response.Write ("<BODY BGCOLOR=FFFFFF>")
Response.Write ("<TABLE BORDER=0 Width=100" & CHR(37) & ">")
Response.Write ("<TR><TD BGCOLOR=C0C0C0>")
Response.Write ("<FONT SIZE=5><B>Guest book: posted messages</B></FONT>")
Response.Write ("</TD></TR></TABLE>")
For Each f1 in fc
Wfile=f1.name
if Wfile<>"counter.txt" then
FiletoCheck=Folderpath & "/" & Wfile
Set a=fs.OpenTextFile(FiletoCheck)
Theinfo="<pre>" &a.ReadAll & "</pre><hr>" & Theinfo
end if
Next
Response.write(Theinfo)
Response.write("<div align=right><font size=2>Script provided by <a
href=http://www.asptutorial.info>asptutorial.info</a></font></div>")
Response.Write ("</BODY></HTML>")
%>
Any ideas or suggestions
Thanks
Tom
