You'll have to set the action to point to a script on your domain. Here is a PHP from handler: http://www.webdevfaqs.com/php.php#mailer

[Baby Jai]

ok so do i have to set up a new SQL databse? or do i just put that exact stuff ina html file? this is where I get confused

[pyro]

It doesn't use a database. That code needs to go into a .php file. If I were you, I would download the example file that has been provided to see how it all works (it also includes a readme). You will need a server that supports PHP for it to work.

[Baby Jai]

Ok, well here is the thing. Dreamweaver mx supports the making of a php file. My server also supports it thats how i made the forum. But what Im saying is how do i actually creat it? Lets say we take my HTML above, all I have to chnage is what? Also do i just copy that all into a php file?

[pyro]

In your current HTML, all you need to do is point the form's action to point to the .php file that contains the code on the page I pointed you to. (If you download the .zip file, it is mailer.php)

[Baby Jai]

Ok tell me what is wrong with this?

http://www.babyjai.com/application.php

[pyro]

mailer.php does not exist, it would appear: http://www.babyjai.com/mailer.php

[Baby Jai]

Ok i got it to work, but how do i get it to go to the thank you.html, also how do I get it to keep the file attachment and I get that with the mail as well? Also how do i change the name of each of the questions when I get the email?

[Baby Jai]

how do i make it where certain questions need to be answered?

[pyro]

#1 Change the $forwardvariable to 1

$forward = 1; # redirect? 1 : yes || 0 : no

#2 You will need to set it up to be able to send attachements: http://www.hollowearth.co.uk/tech/php/email_attachments.php

#3 Not sure what you mean

#4 You will need to do some checking to be sure the fields contain values. I would use javascript and PHP (the javascript will be nice for those who have it enabled, and the PHP for those who do not)

[Baby Jai]

do you recommend any certain scripts for the javascript checking to be sure the fields are filled in correctly?

[Baby Jai]

I cant even touch that PHP attachements form. Thats too hard and I have no diea what Im doing.

[pyro]

I wrote this up a while back. It will itterate through all the form fields to be sure they are all filled out: http://www.infinitypages.com/research/formvalidation.htm

[Baby Jai]

First off pyro I want to thank you for all your help, but its not working

[pyro]

You didn't add the onsubmit handler to your form. This:

<form action="mailer.php" method="post">

needs to be:

<form action="mailer.php" method="post" onsubmit="return validate(this);">

[Baby Jai]

Ok thanks

[pyro]

What it does is takes the name you give each field and uses those (as does the PHP). This is why you want to give you fields descriptive names.

So, for the first one, change this:

<input type="text" name="q177772" ... >

to:

<input type="text" name="email" ... >

And for the second:

<textarea name="q177773" ... >

to something like:

<textarea name="location" ... >

[Baby Jai]

ok got a problem, for the drop down box, its asking for me to fill it out, but its slected, what can we do about this?

[Baby Jai]

I edited my ok thanks from that question. ;), you beat me to it!!:) Your good peoples, also one more question is they fill in under then 18 for age, how can i get the form to turn it down, is that possible?

[pyro]

Add this to the script:

if (document.Age.value < 18) {
alert ("You must be older than 18.");
return false;
}

[Baby Jai]

what about the Gender question, its filled in and its still telling me to fill in that area

[Baby Jai]

Where do I put that script at?

[pyro]

Add it right after this:

if (x == 1) {
alert (msg);
return false;
}

[Baby Jai]

no good, then it doesnt verify each field is filled out

[Baby Jai]

and why does it say this when I get the email from the application From: Joes@whatever, Form@whatever, but its called Joes Form?

[pyro]

Sorry, just a stupid error on my part -- forgot to reference the form :rolleyes:

Try this one:

if (document.forms[0].Age.value < 18) {
alert ("You must be older than 18.");
return false;
}

Not sure what you mean by your other question.

[Baby Jai]

like in the mailer.php you can set up who it says when you get it like for IE it says

$headers = "From: joes Forum"; #set the from address, or any other headers

when I was getting it in the mail it said just thatr, now im getting them and =after each name it will say my servers name, for ie Joe@whatever.com, Forums@whatever.conm

[Baby Jai]

still no good. it doesnt verify buddy

[pyro]

This one should:

<script type=text/javascript>
function validate(frm) {
msg = "Please fill out the following fields:\n";
x = 0;
for (i=0; i<frm.elements.length; i++) {
if(/^\s*$/.test(frm.elements[i].value)) {
msg += frm.elements[i].name+"\n";
x = 1;
}
}
if (x == 1) {
alert (msg);
return false;
}
if (document.forms[0].Age.value < 18 || isNaN(document.forms[0].Age.value)) {
alert ("You must be older than 18.");
return false;
}
}
</script>

[Baby Jai]

whos the man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are!! Only one more problem if we could solve that issue where it has my severs name in the from area.

[Baby Jai]

Ok, dont aworry about that! Its good now. Also how do we fix the time issue??? That when I receive it? It says like 930 pm, how do i edit that so it says the current time in EST?

[pyro]

What time zone is your server in?

[Baby Jai]

Online Support: You mean time Zone. If it isn't UTC, then it is probably PDT (-700).
you: well im tryoing to configure a form i created
Online Support: or is that PST (-700)? I'm afraid I confuse the two.
you: and the time the form is submitted is set by the server
Online Support: OK. Then that is the machine time. And unless you are using certain routines, the default display is probably PDT

Thats from online support. So I guess you can take it from there.

Also let me ask you one more PHP question, how do i just set the form to check for JUST the age verification. Not all the field just the age

[pyro]

In mailer.php swap out

$time = date ("h:i A");

for

$hour = date ("h");
$hour = $hour + 3; # PST + 3 = EST
$min = date ("i A");
$time = $hour.":".$min;

And, for the age validation, do you mean in the javascript, or in the PHP code?

[Baby Jai]

Javascript, just liek we did before. All i need is that the age is 18, liek your script before but check this out
Here (http://www.babyjai.com/forumapplication.php) , and tell me what you get, whats wrong with it

[pyro]

It seems to be working fine for me... What isn't working for you?

[Baby Jai]

lol igot it, thanks

[pyro]

Great, you're welcome... :)

[Baby Jai]

hey pyro, long time no talk. Ok Im having an issue, i using a drop down with this list and for some reason its telling me its not filled out, how is that possible if the item is selected. I did everything you have listed in this section, but yet still no good

[Baby Jai]

This field will be filled out but it keeps telling me its not

<tr bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<td valign="middle"><font color="#000000" size=2 face="Arial">#5 Who referred
you to this site if anyone or anysite, if not applicable please choose
so and tell us how you heard about us?**</font></td>
<td align="left" valign="middle"><font size=2 color="#000000">

<option>Satan Spawn</option>

[pyro]

Try giving each option a value. ie: <option value="foo">foo</option>

[Baby Jai]

It's probably because you are using a Frameset DTD, but you don't have a frameset in your document.
