Feedback Form Script

[Extreme]

I have this script for a feedback form that I generated on a site and I need to learn how to modify it to do what I need to be done.

 

http://www.everythingdarts.com/Templates/contact.html

If you look on that site, you will notice there are 7 possible recipients of the message and the script I have only deals with the form going to one person. how can i modify this script to allow for the radio buttons to decide the proper recipient? I also need to be taught what to put with the radio buttons as I have not learned what would go there to work this yet.

 

this is the html code for the form that only goes to one person

><form action="feedback.php" method="post">
<table border="0" cellpadding="8" cellspacing="8" summary="feedback form">
<tr><td><label for="tswname">Name</label>:</td><td><input type="text" name="fullname" id="tswname" size="25" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><label for="tswemail">Email address</label>:</td><td><input type="text" id="tswemail" name="email" size="25" /></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<label for="tswcomments">Comments</label><br />
<textarea rows="15" cols="45" name="comments" id="tswcomments"></textarea>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="center" colspan="2">
<input type="submit" value="Send Feedback" /><br />
Form by <a href="http://www.thesitewizard.com/">thesitewizard.com</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>

 

this is the feedback.php

I am going to school for webdesign, but i dont begin working with php till my second year which will be after the new year. any help would be great as i am learning.

[TCH-Bruce]

I found a few good tutorials using Google. Forms in PHP

[Extreme]

wow. i was merely asking how to edit an existing file. you could have just said do it yourself. i will ask any scripting question from now on elsewhere. Sorry i wasted your time

[OJB]

Using that script and your script together and modifying them both seems like a bit of a waste of time to me - they aren't very compatible as they use different field names and expect a different number of fields etc. I would rebuild it from scratch personally. I don't even think that PHP form processor is very good. It's not very intuitive at least. I am a freelance PHP developer so if you would like any assistance please PM me and I will see if I can help.

[TCH-Bruce]

Sorry you took my response as telling you to do it yourself when I was only trying to direct you to resources that would help.

[carbonize]

Add the following to the form.

><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="1" id="whoto1" checked="checked">
<label for="whoto1">Person 1</a><br><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="2" id="whoto2">
<label for="whoto2">Person 2</a><br><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="3" id="whoto3">
<label for="whoto3">Person 3</a><br><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="4" id="whoto4">
<label for="whoto4">Person 4</a><br><input type="radio" name="whoto" value="5" id="whoto5">
<label for="whoto5">Person 5</a><br>

 

Then to the script we need to add something like

 

>
if (!isset($_POST['whoto'])) {
header( "Location: $formurl" );
exit ;
}
$recipients = array(
1 => 'email@address1.com',
2 => 'email@address2.com',
3 => 'email@address3.com',
4 => 'email@address4.com',
5 => 'email@address5.com'
);
$sendto = intval($_POST['whoto']);
$mailto = (($sendto > 0) && ($sendto <= count($recipients)) ? $recipients[$sendto] : $mailto;

 

Totally untested and you need to leave the current $mailto = '....'; bit in place as it uses that as a back up if someones playing silly buggers.

I will test this out to see how she works. Its amazing how close php is to my old game script. But then again they are both made off C++. Should be easy for me to grasp it once I get to learning it

[Extreme]

Now im no expert with php, but I did the plugging and formating, but sompething in this just doesnt look right. There is no mail function for one

>bool mail  (  string $to  ,  string $subject  ,  string $message  [,  string $additional_headers  [,  string $additional_parameters  ]] )

 

>  <div class="feedback">

Where are my errors. Im trying to grasp this

[carbonize]

Apart from a lack of the actual email sending you mean ?

[Extreme]

yeah i knew of that one. i posted the sytax of it from php.net above the script. I just tried to make the mail snytax and noticed that this script is only handling the senders as requested. Didnt realize that till just now when I tried to add the function. I am going to have to look at this tonight, I work nights and its bedtime, and get back with you tomorrow.

 

I am going to read and try and finish this script now that I have something to work with. Im going to compare this to my knowledge of another scripting language similar to php. I know I need to add a input for Subject and return email. Actually have the email part in the html just not here. I will do what I can with the knowledge i possess and hopefully get your comments on this tomorrow
