    Problems with HTML form using php send

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    I will try to do my best to explain my situation. I have an HTML form that is using the following action 
    <form name= "transferform" method="POST" action="send.php"> 

     

    At one point this was working fine when I previewed it from any browser in Dreamweaver but now it isn't working. I had also tested it directly from the server and for some reason (unbeknownst to me) these are not working anymore. However, if I type in the path to Xampp which resides on Windows 7 server it works fine. AND if type in the path using browsers from Parallels Window 7 it also works fine.

     

    Does anyone have any clue why this might be happening? The code is fine because as you can see from the attached document I am receiving Thank you responses and emails 8 out of 14 tests.

     

    Thanks

    Unable to get a streaming swf to play automatically

    in HTML Help

    Posted

    I am trying to setup an html file to automatically start playing from our local weather channel. Trust me I have tried everything from auto play=1 to autoplay=true in and out of quotes. I even had embedded source but to no avail, below is my latest code. Anyone have any thoughts on this one? Also, I am saving it to my Xampp/htdocs server and running it from there.

     

    Thanks in Advance

    Validation help

    in PHP Coding Help

    Posted

    Hi All,

     

    What originally seemed like a simple form has turned into my worst nightmare because I had no clue about PHP and minimal javascript knowledge.

    • I have created an HTML form with some Javascript and PHP. I am finally able to get the code to work by sending email behind the scenes to appropriate branches. I ended up using PHPMailer.
    • At this time I won't be pulling data from a database, the fields will filled in by user.
    • This will be an internal form, launched from Sharepoint through a different server.
    • I don't need to validate email addresses because I have them built in behind the scenes in my php code.  
    • Now I have to figure out the best way to validate so that when a user fills out the form there are no empty fields. I have tried several different ways to validate but my success rate is not good.

     

    Questions:

    1.) Does PHP validation go at the beginning of HTML code?

    2.) If so, how does one close it off? In other words does the closing ?> //closing PHP

         go at the bottom of HTML code just above </html>?

    3.) I do have a good working send.php that sends out an email with appropriate fields and content once form is submitted. I don't think validation should go within this code. Right?

     

    I need to validate the following required fields:

    • Text fields (stock #, serial #, description, Requested by, Customer Information
    • Requested Date Field (jScript Datepicker)
    • 2 drop down fields

    Attached is my code, like I said I have tried so many things. If I attempt to submit the form with blank fields I don't receive any errors. I end up receiving blank emails -

     

     

    Stock Number:
    Serial Number:
    Description:
    Requested By:
    Requested Date: Click to Select Date
    Customer Info:
    Requesting Branch:
    Shipping Branch:
     
    I hope someone can help me out.
    Thanks in Advance...
