How do you create forms using MX pro 04' & php
So I have been working on a project for a while and have been trying for days to get the form to work. Nothing is working and I have several questions. The form has 6 input text boxes (name, email, town, year, model, color)
every reference or tutorial has given me too many answers and nothing works. wish I could just have somebody write it for me so I can copy/paste or a step by step as most of the tutorial and guides are over my head.
So here are the questions.
1. Do the input text field need to be on a special layer with all ver name to each box. ( right now my layers are from top to bottom a. actions b. buttons c. elements d. backgrounds)
2. Do input fields need to be made into a movie.
3. The Submit button, does it need to be on the same layer as input text.
4. Is this the correct script for the button. I have a thank you message after you submit.
--------------------------------------------------
on (release) {
if (name eq "" or email eq "" or town eq "" or year eq "" or model eq "" or color eq "") {
stop();
} else {
loadVariablesNum("email3.php", 0, "POST");
gotoAndStop(2);
}
}
-----------------------------------------------------
5. my PHP file code, I have no idea how to do this but found some templates and changed them around to what I thought looked correct. Is this correct?
-------------------------------------------------------
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$email = "<".$_POST['email'].">";
$subject = "Mega Meet Registration";
$msg = "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Email: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Town: " . $_POST["town"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Year: " . $_POST["year"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Color: " . $_POST["color"] . "\r\n";
mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, "From: ".$email);
?>
--------------------------------------------------------------
The other code for the PHP I did was:
--------------------------------------------------------------
<?
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$subject = "Mega Meet Registration.";
$ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
$headers .= "From: " . $_POST["name"] .">\r\n";
$headers .= "Reply-To: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$msg = "Name: " . $_POST["name"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Email: " . $_POST["email"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Town: " . $_POST["town"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Year: " . $_POST["year"] . "\r\n";
$msg .= "Color: " . $_POST["color"] . "\r\n";
mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, $headers);
?>
-------------------------------------------------------------
Can anybody help and tell me how to create and code this as im ready to throw my computer out the window im so frustrated.
When I did a test, the submit button was present but none of the input text boxes were even visible, could be a layer thing . . . just dont know.
I just got Flash CS3 so I might just install that and use a tutorial as it seems easier but I hate updating software in the middle of a project incase something goes wrong.
Change the php code to this:
PHP Code:
<?php
$sendTo = "[email protected]";
$email = "<".$_POST['email'].">";
$subject = "Mega Meet Registration";
$msg = "Name: ".$_POST["name"]."\r\nEmail: ".$_POST["email"]."\r\nTown: ".$_POST["town"]."\r\nYear: ".$_POST["year"]."\r\nColor: ".$_POST["color"]."\r\n";
mail($sendTo, $subject, $msg, "From: ".$email);
echo "Thank you. Your e-mail has been sent. You may now close this window.";
echo "<script language='JavaScript'>
window.close();
</script>";
?>
