[SOLVED] private message preview box

[graham23s]

Hi Guys,

 

on my private messaging code, i was trying to add a "preview" button when clicked the message is displayed below the box but i don't seem to be able to get the isset to catch it:

 

code:

 

     echo '<h1>Send A Private Message To (<a href="userdetails.php?id='.$recipient_id.'">'.$recipient_name.'</a>)</h1>
           <table with="500" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" />
           <form action="messagesent.php?id='.$recipient_id.'" method="POST" />
           <tr>
           <td align="right"><b>Subject</b></td><td align="left"><input type="text" name="subject" size="70" /></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
           <td class="head" valign="top"><b>Message</b></td><td align="left"><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="80" /></textarea></td>
           </tr>
           <td colspan="2" align="right"/> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Message" /> <input type="submit" name="submit_preview" value="Preview it!" />
           </td>
           </table>
           </form>
           <br />';            
           if(isset($_POST['submit_preview'])) {
           
           echo "preview box here!!!";
           
           } 
?>

 

i must be missing something very simple any help would be appreciated

Thats strange. I just tested it on my server and it worked just fine....

 

Is this script named "messagesent.php"? If it isn't, then thats the problem.

Hi Poco?

 

yep the file is named the same, i can send messages fine but was wanting if possible toi echo out a preview of the message on the same page:

 

full code:

 

<?php 
     // another GET...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
         
     // Get the recipients id.../////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $recipient_id = $_GET['id'];     
     
     // get the senders id from database...//////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query1 = "SELECT id FROM `membership` WHERE `username`='$member'";
     $result1 = mysql_query($query1) or die (mysql_error());
     $row = mysql_fetch_array($result1) or die (mysql_error());
     
     $senders_id = $row['id'];
     
     // can't message yourself...////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     if($recipient_id == $senders_id) {
     
        stderr("Error","You can't message yourself.");  
        include("includes/footer.php");
        exit;
     
     }
          
     // get the name in a variable...////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     $query2 = "SELECT * FROM `membership` WHERE id='$recipient_id'";
     $result2 = mysql_query($query2);     
     $rows = mysql_fetch_array($result2);     
     $recipient_name = $rows['username'];
     $recipient_accepting_pms = $rows['accept_pms'];
     
     if($recipient_accepting_pms == 'No') {
   
        stderr("Error","This user isn't accepting messages.");  
        include("includes/footer.php");
        exit;
     
     }
     
     // Make the pm box...///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
     echo '<h1>Send A Private Message To (<a href="userdetails.php?id='.$recipient_id.'">'.$recipient_name.'</a>)</h1>
           <table with="500" border="1" bordercolor="#000000" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" />
           <form action="messagesent.php?id='.$recipient_id.'" method="POST" />
           <tr>
           <td align="right"><b>Subject</b></td><td align="left"><input type="text" name="subject" size="70" /></td>
           </tr>
           <tr>
           <td class="head" valign="top"><b>Message</b></td><td align="left"><textarea name="message" rows="10" cols="80" /></textarea></td>
           </tr>
           <td colspan="2" align="right"/> <input type="reset" name="reset" value="Reset"> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send Message" /> <input type="submit" name="submit_preview" value="Preview it!" />
           </td>
           </table>
           </form>
           <br />';            
           if(isset($_POST['submit_preview'])) {
           
           echo "preview box here!!!";
           
           } 
?>

Try changing this line:

 

<form action="messagesent.php?id='.$recipient_id.'" method="POST" />

 

To:

<form action="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?id='.$recipient_id.'" method="POST" />
