contact form with box selection???

Hello,

Im wrapping up a project for this site here:

http://www.xscapeproductions.com/imageit/

You will notice in the contact us page under request form, there are boxes beneath the actual form. How do i go about hooking those up so they work with the actual form? Whatever box the user selects should be the subject of the email that will be sent:) Any help will be greatly appreciated!! I will be using the code that is used in the php form that is available in the flash flas here at flashkit:)

thnx in advance!!

After taking a look at the Mailform.php file it seems that you are restricted by what it will send. You can see below what value is the important one that you need to dynamically change...

Code:

---

mail("$adminaddress","Info Request",
"FAO: Admin @ $sitename \n
First Name: $fname
Last Name: $lname
Email: $vemail
Company: $cname
Telephone: $telno\n

Instead of defining "Info Request" as the subject line you should make this dynamic, like $fname and $lname. In your form you can probably make the buttons work as hidden fields or radio buttons. Then when it posts you will have to do a little recoding in the PHP to allow it to use the new variable.

I forgot to mention, your flash is very slow to load on the site, you might want to try to reduce the size a bit. I'm using cable and it took more than 15 seconds to load. For the most part, you want it to load within about 3 seconds, or at least be almost done in 3 seconds. It's a nice site though, good job.

ok i have setup my radio buttons, do i simply give them an instance name and then place some sort of code into the php file? I am completely clueless here:( do i need to later the code on the flash file as well?

Change the PHP file a little by adding these values, and follow the examples for the rest of the required variables that are being passed...

$comments = $_POST["comments"];
$fname = $_POST["fname"];

On your Send button within the Flash file you might wanrt to change the script to something like this...

Code:

---

        if ((vemail.indexOf("@") != -1) && (vemail.indexOf(".") != -1) && (length(vemail)>5)) {
                action = "Send";
                getURL("mailform.php",_self,"POST");
                nextFrame();

---

Once you do that you will need to somehow make the radio button pass it's variable to the PHP file using the same POST command. I'm not sure how to do this because I don't have my Flash book here to tell me, but the POST command will send all of the variables that you define within your movie, so you can tell the radio button to make a variable true or have a value of 1 when it's selected. Maybe just use 5 different values for 1 variable.

example code, might not work but will give you an idea...

Code:

---

if(radio1._selected){ radiovariable = "subject 1"; }
if(radio2._selected){ radiovariable = "subject 2"; }

---

PHP Code:

---

$radiovariable = $_POST['radiovariable'];
