Please clarify what language you're using. What you said in the comments to my answer indicates that you're *not* using VBScript. — Ansgar Wiechers, May 15 '15 at 14:50

Make an HTTP request if you need to call a URL from VBScript:

username = ...
url = "http://127.0.0.1/phptest/sendmail.php?id=+@" & username

Set req = CreateObject("Msxml2.XMLHttp.6.0")
req.open "GET", url, False
req.send

If req.status = 200 Then
  'request successful
Else
  'request failed
End If

what is the datatype of reg and url – Sandeep Vellaparambil May 15 '15 at 14:20
Cannot create ActiveX component. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated – Sandeep Vellaparambil May 15 '15 at 14:27
`req` is an XMLHTTPRequest object (IServerXMLHTTPRequest2 to be precise) and `url` is a string, obviously. I messed up the object name in the `CreateObject` statement, though. Fixed. – Ansgar Wiechers May 15 '15 at 14:29
Dim url as String Dim req As ?? – Sandeep Vellaparambil May 15 '15 at 14:34

VBScript does not support [`Dim var As type`](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zexdsyc0%28v=vs.84%29). – Ansgar Wiechers May 15 '15 at 14:35
my file name is test.aspx.vb – Sandeep Vellaparambil May 15 '15 at 14:36

Then you're probably using VB6 or VB.net, not VBScript. Please do not lie about what language you're using. – Ansgar Wiechers May 15 '15 at 14:38

Try something like that in vbscript :

Dim URL,ws,USERNAME
USERNAME = InputBox("Type your USERNAME","USERNAME","USERNAME")
URL =  "http://127.0.0.1/phptest/sendmail.php?id=+@"& USERNAME &""
set ws = CreateObject("wscript.shell")
ws.run URL
