If you post the code, I can probably change it from ASP to PHP...  the above programs are pretty inaccurate... or cost money...

I would just take a look at a few PHP tutorials....

here is the basics that you will need to know/do:

- get rid of the dim variables...
- make sure all of your variable have a $ in front of them
- if you are using a DB to store the feedback info, then you will need to change out the Access stuff to MySQL

PHP is pretty simple once you get a feel for it... it also gives you better error messages...

post your code...

the language in PHP is closer to Javascript of Flash Actionscript than to VBScript...

you have to put a ";" at then end of every bit of code when you are ending it like Javascript...


let me know if you need more help

I have uploaded the pages, and I got an error. On clicking submit on the enquiry.php page, I received an error: Parse error: parse error in /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs/battbroadbentcouk/php/termsnconditions.php on line 55 which appears to be:
foreach ($isElem ) {

The location of the page is: http://www.battbroadbent.co.uk/php/enquiry.php

I assumed you would be getting some errors...

I am not sure what you are doing with your ASP for each loop...  maybe if you write out some psuedo code, and I can see what I can do...

i was trying to make a enquiry form page with the first page called contactus.asp. then it will prompt the user to a terms and conditions page called termsnconditions.asp. when the user clicked on continue as an agreement to the terms n conditions, the user's enquiry will be sent to the company's mailbox. that's what the loops is trying to do for me in asp.

I don't think you need it do you?  can't you just use an if then statement without a foreach loop...

like:

if($TandC = "agree"){
do something...
} else {
don't do something...
}


I don't know why you need to complicate things...


try that out and let me know...

are you changing back to ASP?  if so, then why?

your form can be an html page, but the processing or confirmation page needs to be either php or asp...


let me know what is going on with this one...

dear rp,

i am actually helping my friend. i developed the ASP pages for me until she told me that her company's server is using linux. so she asked if i could help her with PHP. i have no idea at all about PHP. i have told her to try out the script u posted as my server doesn't support PHP. she is quite blur and hasn't given me the feedback. she did ask if the whole thing could be in HTML so i redo the form her her in HTML.

you can't use only HTML to process the page...

you have to use some middleware like PHP, ASP, or CGI/Perl to talk to the web server...

you wanted me to change out what you had in ASP to PHP, and that is the best I could do for you, without knowing everything...


I think that should have been enough for the points...
