Help on a PHP Form :)

[Monkuar]

Thanks for viewing.

 

First, I have this funtion I need to run (I use it on my forum it's a mod)

 

$SDK->write_pm ("1", "Hello!", "Hello! This is a test message sent to user id 1");

 

And whenever I put that between <?Php codes on my forum (Each Refresh it runs) it runs and send's a Message (PM) To the user id 1 and title then message..

 

But the problem is I'm making it so users can send a Pm to somone while viewing a topic. sO Do I save that into a form.php then make a form and put action = form.php and fill out variables or something like that?

 

If your kind can u tell me how.

Thanks for reading...

you can probably use AJAX.. sorry I don'ty quite understand your question.. you alrdy have a function to send a PM, all u need to do is make a form and fill in the blanks?

You can use AJAX, which can be easier if you know it because you don't have to worry about PHP codes, but you can do this without AJAX by just writing the form and put that line in when the form is submitted.

Thanks for all the stuff you guys said too bad I dont know how to start anything.. I just need a basic form.. I would love to use ajax any help? I dont know anything about ajax nonetheless I know a little about php..

 

 

WOuld it work if i put that code in form.php and used it as a action = form.php in a form would it still work? with my defined variables??

You can't really ask someone to start something so simple as this. I would Google how to write a form. It's just basic HTML.

Im confused if i can put that in form.php then how would i get variables form a form.php to get used in my forums.php  lo

 

so that they correspond..

Oh you use the action attribute of the form to pass the data in the form to forums.php. In forums.php, you can use $_POST to get the data.
