Problem with Forms

[Anani]

I created a simple form, it included name, email, comments and a submit button. I also created a thank you page. I saw the tutorials and I think I followed the instructions to the letter, I also used a php script. But, when I publish it, it did not displayed. So, maybe the problem was publishing it. I really don"t know. Any advice is welcome.

Re: Problem with Forms

Do you see the page in the FTP Manager? Did it make it over to the server?

Please post the url of the form page so we can have a look.

Re: Problem with Forms

I'm also have some trouble with the same thing, but a little different. I would like to let people submit an image using the mail form. When ever I test it I would get an attachment in a .att format. so I change the form settings to text/plain and received all the information but still can't get the image sent right. I was told to use a php form. I have no idea on how about doing that. Can someone please help me. I have looked into it and got nowhere.

Uploading a file (image or other type, it's the same) requires a particular script. Please read this tutorial: How to upload a file using a form

Re: Problem with Forms

Thanks.

Re: Problem with Forms

Hi again, I saw the information about uploading a file and I think it will be very helpful. Thank you navaldesign. I'll work on it.

Re: Problem with Forms

HI. This is what I did: created the form again (still have doubts about what to write in $mailsubj and $mailbody), published the pages in public html (the contact page has an .html ending, the thank you page has a .php ending), also, uploaded the uploading.php file and created a new folder named uploads. I can't see the contact page in the web site yet. Any sugestions please ........... thanks.

Re: Problem with Forms

If you give us the names(url) of your pages and copy your php file here, we may be able to help you a little more...
.......and if you have changed the names into spanish and not changed the php code then your form will not work!!

Re: Problem with Forms

Sorry for not understanding. You had a form in http://www.asignaciones.org/contacto.html

Did you make a new one ? And does it have an upload field ? If you don't have an upload field, what do you need the upload script for ? Use the simpler one, which is only for text fields.

If you have a new one, just post the URL here as David suggested.

Re: Problem with Forms

Hi. This is the script I used, the one that you showed in the tutorial
<?php
// Receiving variables
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$upload_Name = $_FILES['upload']['name'];
@$upload_Size = $_FILES['upload']['size'];
@$upload_Temp = $_FILES['upload']['tmp_name'];

// Validation for max file size
if ($upload_Size>0)
{
if( $upload_Size >1000000)
{
//delete file
unlink($upload_Temp);
header("Location: error.html");
exit;
}
$uploadFile = "uploads/".$upload_Name ;
@move_uploaded_file( $upload_Temp , $uploadFile);
chmod($uploadFile, 0644);
$upload_URL = "<A href="http://www.asignaciones.org/uploads/".$upload_Name">http://www.asignaciones.org/uploads/".$upload_Name ;
}
//Sending Email to form owner
$mailto = "youremail@yourdomain.com";
$mailsubj = "Correo";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Info :\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
if ($key!="submit")
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
}
$mailbody .= "upload: $upload_URL\n";
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);

I created a contact form but it doesn't show. The URL is the one David posted. I can see the page in the blue FTP but not in my site.
I hope you understand this because this is really new stuff for me. Thanks.

Re: Problem with Forms

The only form URL i can see in your posts, is http://www.asignaciones.org/contacto.html

But there is no uploaded file in it. Why did you use this script if you don't have a field for file upload ?

Anyway, it will work the same, no problem.

However, i can see your form in http://www.asignaciones.org/contacto.html so i don't understand your question .

Please note the the php script is missing the last lines.

header("Location: thankyou_page.html");

?>

Re: Problem with Forms

Hi! I'm sorry. The page showing as contacto is not the one I'm referring to. I created a new page with a form on it to replace the one you saw. I tried to publish the new one but couldn't. I got confused and thought this page was in Blue FTP but it is not. It is still in my program waiting to be published. I'll go back to that form to check the script, I'll try to publish again and I'll let you know. Thanks for your patience. Sorry I got you confused but this is like chinese language to me. I've got a busy week so I won't be able to work on this until the weekend. Bye for now.
