Re: Form Help

Hi Navaldesing,
For the first thank you very much for your help!
This script could be very suitable for me, I just don`t need to upload any files --- I need to upload the information from the form`s fields wich will be entering by the visitors to the file or to the folder. Than I could link to the this file or enter forexample an I-frame with this file. The Idea is : when a visitor will submit the information it will immediately appear on the page ( it will be a page with the i-frame contents that file). Hope, that you will understand my funny explanation.
Thank you very much
Marina

Re: Form Help

Hi Marina,

ABVFP is a multifeature script. It allows amomg others, file uploads, but this doesn't mean that you need to use that feature.

Anyway, going back to the second part of your post: what you have shown me in that other site (the form and the page with the car sales display) requires a very specific script. It is not a question of i-frame. The info needs to be stored in a database, and then, a specific script, can make so that listings are displayed in a page. No need for I-frame.
However, i repewat, this would be a custom made script, database driven and , since this is a commercial site, it also has to have beautifull templates, styled like the rest of your site pages. This is not something you find for free. If you are interested, click on my signature to contact me.

Re: Form Help

Hi Navaldesign,
Thank you very much once again!
Yes, I understand it, the script what my friend has in his car sales site is too complicated and that`s why I want already to use something more simple -- like simple guestbook.There`re just one thing -- they are always have just 4 or 5 fields and I need 11 fields. By the way, the Simple Guestbook at the CPanel (CGI Center) is not working at all. It won`t save even a template.
So, how do you think --- can I find a script which will "drive" a simple guestbook( may be without a database) or it`s also too hard?
Anyway, let me say you a BIG-BIG THANKS for your immediate answers and so friendly support!
Have a nice day
Marina

Re: Form Help

There is NO guestbook or other similar script which is not database driven. At least not one that is worth considering.

And, a guest book in place of a listing script, seems (in my opinion) highly unprofessional. But ofcourse, its your call.

Re: Form Help

Hi Naval,

Me again. Sorry to be such a pain.

I have been working on a website for a rowing club that I am in and was wondering if you would have a look at this .php script compared to my page script. I know that there are a few errors and some very very noob ones as I have no experience with php at all!

This is the location of the whole idea:
http://hbrc.dwat.co.nz/public_html/pages/contact.html >> upload tab.
and
http://hbrc.dwat.co.nz/public_html/p...ion/upload.php >> script derived from yours above, badly edited though!

This is the php script. HTML script will appear below it.

PHP Code:


<?php
 
// ------ HBRC Upload PHP Script -------------------------
 
@$fname = addslashes($_POST['fname']);
@$lname = addslashes($_POST['lname']);
@$access = addslashes($_POST['access']);
@$size = addslashes($_POST['size']);
$size1 = $size/1000;
for ($i = 1; $i <= 1; $i++)
{
$Image_Upload = "Image_Upload_$i";
@$Image_Upload_Size[$i]= $_FILES[$Image_Upload]['size'];
@$Image_Upload_Name[$i]= $_FILES[$Image_Upload]['name'];
@$Image_Upload_Temp[$i]= $_FILES[$Image_Upload]['tmp_name'];
}
function RecursiveMkdir($path)
{
if (!file_exists($path))
{
RecursiveMkdir(dirname($path));
mkdir($path, 0777);
}
}
 
if (strlen($fname) == 0 )
{
$error .= "We require your first name on this upload. Please enter it.\n";
}
if (strlen($lname) == 0 )
{
$error .= "We require your last name on this upload. Please enter it.\n";
}
for ($i = 1; $i <= 1; $i++)
{
if ($Image_Upload_Size[$i] > $size)
{
$error .= "The size of your file is bigger than the allowed ($size1 Kb). Please change its size\n";
}
}
if ($error != "")

It would be great if we could have your help. Obviously that will not be the final location of the website, we hope to get our own domain name if a company will sponsor it for us.

I was also wondering, what software do you use to assist you if you use any?

Thanks for your time.

Re: Form Help

I am nt sure what you are trying to acheive here.

I mean, the forms that you are creating can be built in BV in 10 minutes. The fields can be made required both using BV's built in Javascript validation, and also using ABVFP.
Using ABVFP all the actions that you are trying to accomplish with your script are made automatically and very easily.

Unless you are trying to learn some php, in which case go on on this, i don't see the meaning of the above. However, you are mixing parts taken here and there and i don't know what your final result will be.

Anyway, the loop

for ($i = 1; $i <= 1; $i++)
{
if ($Image_Upload_Size[$i] > $size)
{

and the other similar will not work, as you start with $i = 1 and you set $i max <= 1. So there is no loop at all. And, you don't even need one, since you only have one upload field.

Also, $size is NOT a form sent variable, it must be set directly in the script with a

$size = 200000;
line (example for 200 Kb) .

Furthermore: the part of the form that would mail a member: the mailto: action will NOT, in most cases work.
