php web form returns a 40

fopa · June 4, 2009

I have had to work on a web form which is due to go live tomorrow and normally the results of the form would be mailed so i would as a rule just use HTML. However the requirement was for data to be stored to a flat file, in either CSV or txt. I dont really know much PHP but it was already conifgured on the server for a joomla installatiion.

I created my form and used php magic form to generate the php file, however on submit it takes me to a 404 page, both files are in the same directory and i am really at a loss as to what to do next i am desperate to get this resolved today, or im for the high jump

I have sinced replaced the radio buttons value spaces with and underscore, i have also tried renaming the php file, but it still results in a 404, any ideas?

trq · June 4, 2009

Pretty hard to tell whats going on with all those numbers down the side of your post. Looks to me though that you might have spaces in your variable names. This isn't valid php.

gevans · June 4, 2009

name doesn't have an equals '=' sign

none of your input fields have 'proper' names assigned (the names are used by php)

@$I am proud to work for *** = addslashes($_POST['I am proud to work for ***');

That's basically jibberish;

$your_variable = addslashes($_POST['the-name-you-set-in-the-form']);

$pfw_values = "$I am proud to work for ***,$I feel a strong sense of belonging ***,......

you need to put the variables you assign in there.

I've never used php magic form, either you've used it 'wrongly' or it's just shit....

The stars and removed etc i put in place to protect the identity of the company i work for, sorry i am not conversant with php at all, hence my posting here.

I shall remove the = as suggested

the input fields are radio buttons should i simply rename them as R1 and so forth?

and thanks for taking the time to reply, is it much appreciated.

gevans · June 4, 2009

I shall remove the = as suggested

You can't remove it, as it isn't there, that's the problem (you need it)

the input fields are radio buttons should i simply rename them as R1 and so forth?

You name them whatever you want. Something descriptive is always good, something you'll understand

ok i shall give that a try, Is there an easy alternative out there which would simply convert my form to php for use?

gevans · June 4, 2009

I couldn't tell you, I write php, so have never used a program which 'reproduces'. I'm far to fussy to let someones code write mine. I'd end up editing the whole thing anyway.

Why not look at a few basic tutorials??

fopa · June 4, 2009

I agree the tutorials are the way forward, but i have very limited time to not just learn php, but to code it correctly for the data to be sent to a flat file, so bundled solutions seems the bet bet.

I cant help but feeling its a server issue also, the mailto function works fine on the html form and a very simple form will not outpuit in php.

gevans · June 4, 2009

If I'm brutally honest the php you showed is probably the worst representation of script I've ever seen. Probably the fault of the program that tried to make it. But, as of yet, this definetley isn't a server issue.
