It's like going to a hot chick's myspace and Mariah Carey BLASTS at you out of nowhere, leaving you fumbling for the fastest way to shut it off. It's just obnoxious.

This form is basicly 3 scripts in an attempted "splice" It is supposed to use the basic $stage variable and display accordingly (ie simple cheese form) I also have attempted to splice in an email addr. validation which echoes an error msg if empty or invalid. PROBLEM: There are still many but as of now, my concerns are the following; Why does it open in a new window when submit is clicked? Why does the page show up on step 2 instead of 1? /* if (empty($stage)) { display_contact(); } elseif ($stage == 'equip') { display_equip(); } else { mail(); } */ this is my speculation -- The following is for email address validation: /*   $stage=true; <<<<<<<< I think this is setting the stage and making the previous if skip display_contact (is this correct?)   if ($_POST){     $from=stripslashes($_POST['from']);     // validate e-mail address     $valid=eregi('^([0-9a-z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-z]+@([-0-9a-z]+[.])+[a-z]{2,6}$',$from);     $crack=eregi("(\r|\n)(to:|from:|cc:|bcc:)",$message);     if ($from && $message && $valid && !$crack){       if (mail($to,"BBI Website Hole Opener Inquiry",$message,'From: '.$from."\r\n",$headers)           && mail($from,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$message,'From: '.$to."\r\n")){         $stage=false; */ Here is the link so you can see what it does. http://www.bitbrokers.com/custom_built_hole_openers.php (Also, I'm not afraid to say that I am a noob with PHP.) The current reason the error message comes up when submit is clicked: contact page not filled out, vars not carried to step 2, validation fails due to missing email address. (I think)

Can anyone shed some light on this? I have several walk throughs, but none really explain where to start if you are integrating all of it. I also didn't see a way to make the WoWRoster db work as a "user db", possibly just as a group with special permissions. (Then again, I may be wasting air on this) Just starting a useful thread hopefully.

Joomla! has a phpbb2 bridge i believe. It takes out the Joomla! auth and uses phpBB2 auth and registration instead. google this  Joomla! phpBB2 integration, or Joomla! phpBB2 bridge Good Luck!

Yes, I do like the "overnight site" approach sometimes, and it's VERY easy to integrate it with other web apps. Joomla!, phpBB2, and WoWRoster is what I am using for my WoW Guild's site. Quick and easily managed by most ppl not just programmers.

Also, the reason the font is so small on the nav: When viewed on 800x600 and 1024x768 the font shows up nicely and it was HUGE without the font-variant:smallcaps and yes I changed it to shrink it some also.

(MODIFIED: I didn't take the time to see page 2, sorry :( you can delete if need be) I agree with the guy about wannabe hackers. I am not a hAck3r, I do not give my self a title to sound cool. Hackers by the way are just people who modify programs to do their bidding (in a nutshell, short, sweet and to the point.) I AM a novice/intermediate freelance programmer/network administrator and I do test my networks with brute force. Ever since these three cinematics came out 1. Hackers, 2. The Matrix, and 3. Swordfish, people have been surfing around the net with a headphone cable duck taped to the back of their neck claiming to be a hacker. Give it up, it's like parachute pants buddy. My 2 cents complete. Shockstomp

Also, about the leftward lean of the site. As of now the menu and search module are positioned absolute, as is the header image. This is what i need to do i think, then just use includes or requires. (Your comments'?) _________________________________ |                                                  | |          Header Img                        | |--- ----- -------- -------- ---------| |  Search |                                    | |--- -----|                                    | |            |                                    | |            |    Content/Wrapper          | | Menu    |                                    | |            |                                    | |            |                                    | |            |                                    | |-- ----- |_______________________| Thanks!

I know the empty referral is a problem, i just hadn't changed it yet, its a simple 1=on 0=off. lol Yeah, the color isn't my call, the client wanted grayscale and a quasi-metal look. The menu was smaller, but client asked for link to each product. (Target audience is not very computer savvy from what I understand, so I simplified it.) My css is VERY messy, but it works for what i needed (A lot of it is horribly messy) This is my first php site also. Feel free to bash this thing to death! I won't know what to fix until the issues have been addressed. Thanks loads! :) :)

Will do! Thank you!

this is something similar i think, and i wasn't sure what to do with it. /*<?php /* ---------------------     Declare Variable(s)   --------------------- */ $name; // Represents the name of the elements in $HTTP_POST_VARS $value; // Represents the value of the elements in $HTTP_POST_VARS // --------------------- // Do while there is an element in $HTTP_POST_VARS... while (list($name, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS))   /* ...get the name and value of the element and use it to construct a hidden input field.        Then go back to the beginning of the loop and do the same thing with the next element. */   {   echo "<input type=\"hidden\" value=\"$value\" name=\"$name\">\n";   } ?>*/ Also, this is the mail function that i am going to manipulate. /* <?php   $to = $_REQUEST['to'] ;   $confirmationSubject='Bitbrokers.com Hole Opener Inquiry Confirmation';   $confirmationBody="Your hole opener inquiry has been received, thank you. If your inquiry is urgent please call (618)435-5811 or fax (618)435-2388. Your inquiry is shown below. ********************************************************************************** ";   $from = $_REQUEST['from'] ;   $message= $_REQUEST['message'] ; <<<<< My email template will be defined here.   $displayForm=true;   if ($_POST){     $from=stripslashes($_POST['from']);     $message=stripslashes($_POST['message']);     // validate e-mail address     $valid=eregi('^([0-9a-z]+[-._+&])*[0-9a-z]+@([-0-9a-z]+[.])+[a-z]{2,6}$',$from);     $crack=eregi("(\r|\n)(to:|from:|cc:|bcc:)",$message);     if ($from && $message && $valid && !$crack){       if (mail('bitsales@bitbrokers.com',"BBI Hole Opener Web Inquiry",$message,'From: '.$from."\r\n")           && mail($from,$confirmationSubject,$confirmationBody.$message,'From: '.$to."\r\n")){         $displayForm=false; ?> */ I will have error messages for incomplete or invalid fields also.

I need to know about the following: -If global $PHP_SELF and <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="contact" VALUE="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($contact); ?>"> can carry ALL variables from the first page , or if I must do this with all of the inputs -Does the mail() function allow for a message with dynamic content? ie. A table in the email with values inserted accordingly Like I said, I am no guru by any means. Thanks

http://www.bitbrokers.com Tell me what you think and don't be forgiving. I do know there is a display issue i have to work out with ie. It shows up perfect in firefox (imagine that!) Thanks

Hello everyone, First and foremost I am a novice with php. I understand it and everything, but I have made a mess of this script. I was wondering if I should just start from scratch on the php end. GOAL- I am trying to make a multi-page form that emails the results to me when it's finished. I also plan on making this an openly available template for anyone who needs it. (mail() is not yet complete) ( SCRIPT- 3 pages, first page: Enter Contact info, second page: enter equipment details, final page: text box for additional requirements. This is what i have thus far, I actually include it into another page. (you WILL find it strikingly similar to the "cheese" script :P, i am still working on writing scripts from scratch). Once again, I warn you of the mess below.(if this is too much i can just link the file, let me know mods, tks) ********************************************************************************* /*<style type="text/css"> <!-- .style2 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; } .style3 {font-size: 10px} .style7 { font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; font-variant: small-caps; } .style8 { font-size: 12px; font-weight: bold; } --> </style> <?php */?>  <div align="right"><span class="style2">     <span class="style3">     <?php     function display_contact() {     global $PHP_SELF;     ?>     </span></span></div>     <FORM METHOD=GET TARGET="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" class="style7">             <div align="right"><span class="style8">Step 1 - Contact Information        </span>       </div>       <p align="right">Contact Name         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="name">       </p>       <p align="right">Company         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="comp">       </p>       <p align="right">Address         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="addr">       </p>       <p align="right">City         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="city">       </p>       <p align="right">State/Province         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="st-pr">       </p>       <p align="right">Country         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="country">       </p>       <p align="right">Zip/Postal Code         <INPUT NAME="zip-pc" TYPE=TEXT size="15">       </p>       <p align="right">Telephone         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="tel">       </p>       <p align="right">Fax         <INPUT NAME="fax" TYPE=TEXT size="20">       </p>       <p align="right">Email         <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="from">       </p>       <p align="right"><BR>         <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="stage" VALUE="contact">         <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE="Next">                           </p>     </FORM>       <div align="right"><span class="style7">         <?php     }     ?>                 <?php function display_equip() {   global $PHP_SELF;   global $contact; ?>         </span>       </div>     <FORM METHOD=GET TARGET="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" class="style7">       <div align="right"><span class="style8">Step 2 - Tool Specifications</span>     </div>     <p align="right">Hole Opener Type:       <input type=TEXT name="hotype" />     </p>     <p align="right">      Hole Diameter / OD:       <INPUT NAME="od" TYPE=TEXT size="8">     </p>     <p align="right">Pilot Bit OD:       <INPUT NAME="pbod" TYPE=TEXT size="8">     </p>     <p align="right">Number of Cutters:       <INPUT NAME="ncw" TYPE=TEXT size="8">     </p>     <p align="right">Cutter Type:       <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="cuttertype" VALUE="tci">   TCI / Button / Insert           <INPUT TYPE=RADIO NAME="cuttertype" VALUE="tooth">           Steel Tooth / Mill Tooth    </p>     <p align="right">IADC Code / Formation Type / Hardness Information:        <INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="iadc-formation">       <br />       <a href="http://www.bitbrokers.com/iadc.php" target="_blank">NEED HELP?
