The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

"Empty 'tinytext' output in submission email

Asked by KevPerkins in Adobe Dreamweaver

Tags: tinytext

I am setting up another form-->database-->admin email application. i've done this several times before without a glitch.

now I have a problem and I just can't seem to fix it.

The form submits to the database no problem. The email which the submission script generates is where the problem lies. The one field on the table in the html email which gets sent to the site administrator is blank? The data element is a tinytext element and just does not show up in the email. here is the email code from the submission script:

//start building the mail string
$msg = "<html>
      <body>
      <table width='500' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5'>
  <tr>
    <td width='144'><img src='http://www.breform.com/BreformWeb_images/logo_75x68_email.gif' width='75' height='68'></td>
    <td width='444'><div align='right'><img src='http://www.breform.com/BreformWeb_images/solidweb_email_ad.gif' width='200' height='55'></div></td>
  </tr>
</table>
      <table width='500' border='1' cellspacing='0' cellpadding='5'>
      <tr>
      <td bgcolor='66ffcc'><strong><font color='#006600' size='3'face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Surgeon registration</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
      <td bgcolor='66ffcc'><strong><font color='#006600' size='3'face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'></font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
      </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Name and Surname:</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[medtitle] $_POST[last_name]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Office phone number:</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[telnum]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Cell phone number:</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[cellnum]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Email Address:</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[email_address]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Office fax number:</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[faxnum]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td bgcolor='#EAEAEA'><font color='#000066' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>Consulting Rooms</font>&nbsp;</td>
    <td bgcolor='#0000FF'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[consultad]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr bgcolor='#EAEAEA'>
    <td colspan='2'><font size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'><strong>Comments placed on the breform.com website</strong></font></td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
  <tr bgcolor='#0000FF'>
      <td colspan='2'><strong><font color='#FFFFFF' size='2' face='Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif'>$_POST[comments]</font></strong>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>      
</table>
</body>
</html>";

It is the consultad data that does not appear in the email for some reason.

How can I fix this? I'm just not seeing the obvious here I think!
