Send an email with an attachment from the database

To send an email with attachments stored in a database field, use the following code in events like BeforeAdd/AfterAdd/BeforeEdit/AfterEdit.

Make sure to replace "Field that stores attachments" with the actual field name. This must be a TEXT or VARCHAR(max) field that is set up as File/Image in ASPRunnerPro.

Note: Attachments will only work when you selected "Use custom mailer server settings" under "Email settings".

msg =""
set tmpDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
 
if values("Field that stores attachments")<>"" then
  set fileArray = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  set fileArray = my_json_decode(values("Field that stores attachments"))
  set attachments = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
 
  for i = 0 to asp_count(fileArray)-1
     attachments(i) = getabspath(fileArray(i)("name"))
  next
  set tmpDict("attachments") = attachments
end if
 
msg = msg & "Make: " & values("Make") & vbcrlf
msg = msg & "Model: " & values("Model") & vbcrlf
 
tmpDict("to")="test@gmail.com"
tmpDict("subject")="Sample subject"
tmpDict("body")=msg
set ret=runner_mail(tmpDict)
if not ret("mailed") then
   response.write ret("message")
end if
