Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

Vasili-

Taking a quick peek- I see that your e-mail field was named "Email Address". This will not work. You should name it - email

I have created a couple tutorials on this and you can find them here if you wish. They will walk you step -by-step.;

Andy-
Apart from I am getting the emails when submitted, what do I need to do about the 404 showing up after "submitting"??
Put up another "acknowledgement" or can I (how?) simply close the window?

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

I tried your form and got the same thing. Did you receive my e-mail?

Could you post the php script here so we can look at it?

OK

Any thoughts on my mimalist approach to things here?

(Mind you this will be a site found by recommendation, or private means, so it doesn't have to be "ranked" by the SE's)

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Succesfully processed your order</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H2>Thanks for your order!</H2>

<?PHP
$email = $HTTP_POST_VARS[email];
$mailto = "DrawingBoard@WordPointe.com";
$mailsubj = "Project Submission";
$mailhead = "From: $email\n";
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
$mailbody = "Values submitted from web site form:\n";
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS))
{
$mailbody .= "$key : $val\n";
}
mail($mailto, $mailsubj, $mailbody, $mailhead);
?>
</BODY>
</HTML>

And actually, I didn't get any email....it was so busy I assumed it was test incoming.....

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

Also- did you get my form submission in your e-mail?

You named the form action: submission.php Make sure the page that you have the php script in is named and spelled the exact same. Does this submission page have a message like -Thanks your form has been submitted with a link back to your site?

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

Ok-

The php script begining should be as follows;

<script language="php">

and the end one should be like so;

</script>

This will properly enclose the script and let it run. Additionally- make sure to change the field name "Email Address" on the form to "email"

Save everything and then publish and give it a try.

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

No....created the "submission" page both in bv and as Notepad.php as "tutorialized"....
No....so far, I just have the splash fron, and the "form" not an acknowledgement

Appreciate the walk-through, Andy...

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

Suggest going back to one of the tutorials -preferably the simple one, and then go step by step. I have a feeling you will be successfull and less frustrated.

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

I can't see where to specify "language".....at top of script that presently shows:
<?.php

or somewhere else??

and also, about the "Thanks for your order, etc. in H1 and H2...shouldn't those be changed??

**Andy128** · 05-26-2006, 03:08 AM

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

I take it this page is created in Notepad and is named tutorialized.php- Correct? If so- then you need to make your form action- tutorialized.php

<h2> Thank You for your Order</h2> *Is fine

Directly under that is where <script language="php"> goes

near the bottom where ?> is - replace with </script>

Make sure the script in notepad was saved as tutorialized.php and that you uploaded it to the server. Make the changes above and then try again.

I am assuming the submission page is the page that contains the form? Correct? This should be saved as html and there should be no php script with in it.

It is hard to tell- but I think that you mixed the two tutorials to gether.

What should happen is this: Customer fills out the form and hits submit. The form is sent to the php script located in the tutorialized.php page where that script gathers the info from the form and sends it via e-mail provided to your e-mail address. It should display -"Thank you for Your oder"

Re: Take a Peek, and Help Fine Tune...

Hmmmm. Followed the BV tutorial and HTML example verbatim - who would think? - and still mussed up.

Thanks. I'll follow these instr verbatim, and see what's up next.

(PS: Waited 7 hours for an answer to my ticket since I couldn't access my Soho cP, and still waiting to hear.....at 120/hr, a lot of my time went down the tubes today)
