asked on

Input Form to Display Original webpage After Clicking Submit

Hi Everyone!

I have a webpage that has a few input text boxes that will call a php file to submit info to my e-mail address. This procedure works well. However, I Need a way to Show the current form with text displayed where the input boxes were at originally that reads:
"Your Request Has Been Submitted".

My webpage and script are below.

Thanks in Advance!

:)

FirstBorn

PS. I'm Still kinda newbie-ish to php, so please explain thoroughly, if possible.
Thanks... :)

hi,

why not just combine it into one php script? all i've done below is combine the two scripts together, add a clause so the mail is only sent if the form has been submitted, change the form to point to itself in the action and changed the input fields' values to be whatever's in the POST array

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

Hi loz,

I put the page onto my web server, loaded it, and there is the following displaying:

1. Right above the Main Text Input Boxes:

This is what I need to Work, Thanks! ... :)
" method="post">

2. Inside the Text Box for Name, Email, and Subject it shows:

"<? print $_POST["

3. Inside the Text Box for Comments, it shows:

<? print $_POST["comments"]; ?>

These text boxes need to be empty upon loading the page.

Thanks...

:)

Hi loz,

Also, I click on 'Submit' and I get an "HTTP 404 - File not found" error.

Thanks...

Hi loz,

k... I got it to submit, I had to rename the file to index.php.

After Submitting, though, it doesn't tell the user that the information has been submitted, and keeps the text input boxes on the page with the text that has been submitted in the text input boxes... The User may not know that they had submitted the information and will probably keep resending the information... that is what I'm trying to avoid... :)

Also, I need the page to be named index.html. Should I use an 'include' for the index.php to display the entire contents on the index.html file, and if so, how would I go about doing that? Also, would it affect the functionality?

Thanks...

:)

You could add a hidden value in the form, eg

<input type="hidden" name="process" value="yes">

then add this to where you want it to say it has been processed..

<?php
if ($_POST['process']=="yes") {
echo "Form submitted";
}
?>

Of course, you could simply check an exisiting value, for example "name", but if they leave out the name field, it won't process. (i know you probably won't want it to process if they DO leave out the name, but validation is not what you asked for, although my way will make it easier to add validation script later..)

Good luck

hi,

those problems seem quite strange, maybe to do with the short tags. i've modified the script to be in two parts - i didn't realise you didn't want the information in text boxes after the mail is sent. filename.html:

i changed part of your mail script because you don't want to use nl2br on the comments field in it - line breaks are \n in emails. you need to change the action of the form to suit your filename. if it doesn't work, can you take a view source and paste the result in here, or any relevant errors

Hi loz,

k, We seem to be back at Square One.

The Main Page name is index.html.

On index.html, the user enters their information and clicks submit.

When they submit the information, the information goes to my e-mail address.

I don't want another page to load, I would like the SAME Page to be viewed,

with the Exception of the input boxes. Where the Input Boxes Were, I would like

to have displayed, "Your Information Has Been Sent. Thank You."

Thanks...

:)

you can't have an html parsed as php unless you add a file called .htaccess with the following line

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html

only works if you have apache though. then you have index.html:

<HTML>

<HEAD>
<TITLE>Test Page

<BODY>
<?php
if($_POST["submit"]) {

// Load up from POST
$name=$_POST['name'];

$altsubject=$_POST['altsubject'];
$allinfo=$_POST['comments'];

$allinfo=nl2br($allinfo);

// Build message parts
//$recipient = "me@me.com";
$recipient = "me@email.com";
$subject = "Here's My Subject";
$message = "Name: $name\nEmail: $email\nAltSubject:

$altsubject\ncomments:" . $_POST["comments"] . "\n";
$from = "$email";

// Send mail
mail($recipient,$subject,$message,$from,$altsubject);

Hi loz,

k, This didn't work...

My Webhost uses Apache 1.3.27 and php 4

How about a 'redirect' to the index.html / index.php from the

'Results page' a few seconds After Submitting?

If so, where in the script / file would I put the redirect?

Thanks...

:)

FirstBorn

PS. Thanks for your patience with me... :)

lozloz

try adding

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .html

to your .htaccess

if you want to display dynamic content (the submitted fields from the form) onto an html (static content) page, you will need to have php parse html files as well

cheers,

Hi loz,

I've added an .htaccess file in the specific directory needed for this to work.

The file consists of the line of code you mentioned above.

CHMODed to 664.

Attempted to load the index.html file, and it loaded, but with extra code displayed on the actual page.

I entered information, clicked submit and get "HTTP 404 - File not found"

Renamed the file to index.php, This Time, It Stays the Same... NOTHING Works with this file, now.

I moved the .htaccess file, then retried the index.php, refreshed the page, and I get:

"No information sent to script" on the top of the page (just like the 'else' statment in the script).

So, the .htaccess thing doesn't work.

Is there a way to just Redirect BACK to the index.html file after getting the results page?

This seems to be the ONLY Solution if I can't just eliminate the text input boxes after

user has submitted the information replaced with a message letting the user know

that they've had their information submitted and a Thank You.

Thanks.

lozloz

probably there is a way using javascript, but that's avoiding the problem not solving it. to help me, can you do view source on the form and paste the result in here?

cheers,

hi,

alright thanks for that - you really need to get html parsed as php if you're determined to have the index.html parsed. is it possible to get in touch with your server admin and get them to change the httpd.conf to allow html to be parsed? AddType application/x-httpd-php .html i think

Hi loz,

I think I found one reason why it's not working. I don't know how to fix it, though.

When I click "Submit", it goes to this URL for the 404 Not Found Error:

http://www.myurl.com/test/<?name=First+Last&email=me@email.com&altsubject=Test+Subject&comments=Test+Comments+Go+Here%21%0D%0A%0D%0AAnd+some+More%21%21%21&submit=Submit&submit=Submit

INSTEAD OF: http://www.myurl.com/test/

Can this be the problem? and if so, how can it be fixed?
------------

Also, Even if I use the .php file (named .php instead of .html,) it will Not Load the Text Input Boxes with Your Newer Script. It will load with the "No information sent to script" and I don't Need ANY Thing sent to the script UNTIL The User Submits the Information.

Thanks...

:)

lozloz

nope that's not the problem, it just needs the form action set correctly (i.e. hard coded rather than action="<?php print $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?>"

in index.php, change } else {
print "No information sent to script";
}

to:

}

and if there are more problems, give me your current code listing from the file

cheers,

Hi loz,

k, Here's the Source Code of when it loads.

When it loads, it doesn't have Any Text Input Boxes.

That Section Still Remains Blank.

(no Input Text Boxes and no Submit buttons)

Thanks...
