php Send Form

General PHP Help
#1

I made this form, and when this form been submit I will receive every text fields and labels.

Is any way to receive only the label and comment that have in a number in the qty?

example;
if user entered 8 in Item 1’s qty and 4 in Item 3’s qty

8 Item 1, Comment: Send them in a new box
4 Item 3, Comment: Each two in a box

here is the code

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Send Form</title>
</head>

<form action="" method="post">
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="5">
  <tr>
    <td>Quantity‎</td>
    <td>Item</td>
    <td>Comment</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><input name="qty1" type="text" size="3" maxlength="3"></td>
    <td><label>Item 1</label></td>
    <td><input name="comt1" type="text" size="45"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><input name="qty2" type="text" size="3" maxlength="3"></td>
    <td><label>Item 2</label></td>
    <td><input name="comt2" type="text" size="45"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><input name="qty3" type="text" size="3" maxlength="3"></td>
    <td><label>Item 3</label></td>
    <td><input name="comt4" type="text" size="45"></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td><input name="Send" type="submit" value="Submit"></td>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
  </tr>
</table>


</form>

</body>
</html>

Where is the php code for the form? The action field is blank so the form posts on itself. Or did you want it to go to another page?

:stuck_out_tongue: sorry it sample idea from my form

Here is the form with action

[php]

Send Form
Quantity‎ Item Comment
   
[/php]

Here is the action code

[php]<?php
session_start();
$line1 = $_POST[‘qty1’]. " ". $_POST[‘Item 1’]. " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt1’] ;
$line2 = $_POST[‘qty2’]. " ". $_POST[‘Item 2’]. " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt2’] ;
$line1 = $_POST[‘qty3’]. " ". $_POST[‘Item 3’]. " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt3’] ;

$formcontent= “$line1 \n$line2 \n$line3”;
$email= "[email protected]";
$subject = “New order”;
$mailheader = “From: $email \r\n”;

mail($email, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader) or die(“Error!”);
?>

Form Sent

Your order was sent.

[/php]

What happens when you run it? I am seeing some errors on the code and I would recommend learning CSS3 to get away from using tables for layout. But, what are you getting when it runs?

#5

There are far better ways to do this which is why I am posting this. It is not normal to do it this way, because most businesses have multiple products normally pulled from a database but,

[php] <?php
session_start();

$items = array(‘Item 1’, ‘Item 2’, ‘Item 3’);

if($_POST[‘qty1’] > 0) {

$line1 = $_POST[‘qty1’]. " ". $items[0] . " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt1’] ;
$formcontent = “$line1\n”;

}

if($_POST[‘qty2’] > 0) {

$line2 = $_POST[‘qty2’]. " ". $items[1] . " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt2’] ;
$formcontent .= “$line2\n”;

}

if($_POST[‘qty3’] > 0) {

$line3 = $_POST[‘qty3’]. " ". $items[2] . " Comments: ". $_POST[‘comt3’] ;
$formcontent .= “$line3\n”;
}

$email= "[email protected]";
$subject = “New order”;
$mailheader = “From: $email \r\n”; //This should not be the same email you are sending it to

try {

mail($email, $subject, $formcontent, $mailheader);
//correct sytax for example
// mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers if any)

var_dump($formcontent); //Used for debugging;

$output = “Your order was sent.”; //ensures message it not displayed unless if error is sent

} catch (exception $e) {
$output = $e.message;// Display error
}

?>

Form Sent

<?php echo $output; //Shows success or error ?>

[/php]

[php][/php]

[php]

<?php require_once('Connections/connection.php'); ?> <?php if (!function_exists("GetSQLValueString")) { function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "") { if (PHP_VERSION < 6) { $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue; } $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) : mysql_escape_string($theValue); switch ($theType) { case "text": $theValue = ($theValue != "") ?

Quantity‎ Item Comment
<?php echo $row_types['itemstypes']; ?>
   

 

<?php mysql_free_result($orders); mysql_free_result($types); ?>

[/php]

The first thing that jumps out is this,

[php] $query_types = "SELECT itemstypes FROM itemstypes";[/php]

Your field and table are named the same?

The next thing is you are using deprecated functions, where did you find this code? It looks very familiar so I am guessing you figured it would work and changed what you thought you needed to.

I think you need to understand what you are doing first, . look through this link
