Problems with php form bringing in complete form

Goingpostal · February 11, 2008

Hello all

I have created an online quoting system for my printing company. Everything seems to be ok the quote prices are correct, however some of the fields are not showing correctly. For example the customer will fill out what colour package, stock, coating etc and quantity for the business cards as well as their name, company, phone and email. when they submit the form the results are emailed to me and they are taken to another page showing the quote price and everything they have filled in. The email that is sent to me shows all the correct information, however when the new page is up the Colour,stock and coating fields only show the first 4 letters. I have no idea what is causing this.

If anyone has ideas please let me know!!!!!

The link to the site is:

the code for the php file used is:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Business Cards Instant Quote</TITLE>
<script>
function checkrequired(which){
var pass=true
if (document.images){
for (i=0;i<which.length;i++){
var tempobj=which.elements[i]
if (tempobj.name.substring(0,=="required"){
if (((tempobj.type=="text"||tempobj.type=="textarea")&&tempobj.value=='')||(tempobj.type.toString().charAt(0)=="s"&&tempobj.selectedIndex==-1)){
pass=false
break
}
}
}
}
if (!pass){
alert("One or more of the required elements are not completed. Please complete them, then submit again!")
return false
}
else
return true
}

Please modify your post to put

tags around your source. It will make the source much easier for us to read.

Im not really sure what you mean. around the areas i am having problems with?

I did it for you. See how much easier it is to read your code?

Basically when you post code to this forum you should do

script source here

Which will appear in your post as

put quotes in your

value="<? echo $blah ?>"

like that.

its losing it at the first space.

Goingpostal · February 12, 2008

Hi Ken

Yes That is much easier to read, thank you for showing me that

Thank you Resago that was the solution, thank you very much!

;D ;D

or you can do:

value="<?=$thisvalue;?>:

also - no echo statement needed

kenrbnsn · February 12, 2008

But that only works if "short_tags" are enabled.

Its not recommended to use that shorthand.

zimminy · February 12, 2008

well I guess that means when the server guys upgrade PHP again, my site may not work, because it is full of em...

yipes!! thanks for letting me know!
