Help with contact form

Hi,
there is a contact form on my site and it works to submit a message, but it always has my name as sender in it and my email adress to reply to!
This is a form where customers are booking appointments, the shop always thinks that the emails are coming from me!
I checked site manager - system emails - but what am I supposed to put in as from email? It should use the customers email, which will change all the time.
I need help with that fast!
Thanks in advance
cheers

Hello Cat
The "From" email is the email that will be displayed as the sender of the email (although the email is always sent from our servers), so it is not the customer's email address. You can set it to any email address, that can be your client's email address too, so when a reply is sent, the reply would be sent to the client. This is about the email that is sent to the visitors of the site, also known as the "Autoresponder" email.

Portfolio site, need help with contact form

Hi,
Im a graphic designer turned web designer student. I dont know A LOT of flash, but im learning more as time goes by in and out of school. I currently redid my portfolio website, before it was more of a design taken into dreamweaver and uploaded. Now everything is not completely done, but im doing the site in flash.
www.Nikdesigns.com, if anyones interested...
but im trying to set up a really basic contact page. I have a name/email and message input text boxes and a submit button so far. Is there anyway someone can explain to me exactly what code I need, and what I need to do to be able to set this up correctly? Or link me a good tutorial?
I understand flash needs a php to send the info out and comunicate with, but other then that im lost. What actionscript? and what keyframe?
flash is so frustrating =/ someone please help, lol.

If your contact page is just 1 of the many pages in your site, I'll recommend you write it in HTML/PHP/JSP.
There are many cases when Flash/AS is the efficient tool to get jobs done. But just my humble opinion, I think in this case you'll be more efficient to construct the contacts page with mark-up languages.
Of course, it is possible to do it in Flash/AS and not difficult. I just have 1 question before I go off and try:
When an user submits the form, how do you wish to receive it? As an email in your inbox? Store it in a database? Or elsewhere?
Cheers,

I need help with contacts.

Ok, I just recently got the Iphone 4s. I need some help with contacts. I ended up adding my hotmail contacts to my phone and now every time I add a new contact, it adds the person to my hotmail contacts instead of my All On My Iphone contacts. I don't like it because I am adding phone numbers, not necessarily with email addresses.
If you sent me a message right now and I went in and added you as a contact, it adds you to my hotmail contacts instead of my iphone ones for some reason. How can I fix this? And if I delete my hotmail account temporarily (and re-add it) will I lose the contacts that my phone put in there mistakenly?

Well, I don't care if it makes a back-up of my contacts in my hotmail. But, I would like my contacts to go to my actual phone contacts. I call and text much more than I email and it would be nice to have to not wade through my email contacts to find someone I am looking to text, etc.
I know it's not a huge hassle, but I prefer to keep the people I contact most within my text/phone contacts, rather than email.
Also, if I opt to change my email service (hotmail gets a lot of spam), I don't want to lose phone/text contacts because I no longer use that email anymore.
I wouldn't even care if they appeared in both, for my most contacted. I just would like to have them in my phone book without having to add them all by hand.

Help with JS form, PHP Contact Form....

I originally posted this in another area, but had no luck...
I'm having trouble with a template that I downloaded (from Template Monster). My contact form shows "submitted", but I get no email. I will submit my coding below & see if someone can help... My JS.forms is in a "JS" sub-folder in the main directory and my index.html and MailHandler.php/ashx files are in the main directory.
MailHandler.php --

    if($_POST['name']!='nope'){
        $messageBody .= '<p>Visitor: ' . $_POST["name"] . '</p>' . "\n";

Problem with contact form

Hi-
I found a contact form for my Flash website but it's not working properly. It uses ActionScript 3 and PHP, both of which I don't know much about. Because of this, I can't pinpoint the problem or how to fix it. Here's what's going on:
1) Each field in the form only allows 3 characters and no special characters such as @ _ ! . , etc...
2) When the user goes to the next field in the form, the previous field appears blank but the when clicking on that again, the original text appears.
3) When submitting the form, it just keeps saying "in progress" and never shows the confirmation text nor does the email get sent. There is an HTML file included with this form but I am not sure if I need to put that in as I have embedded this form into an SWF file so I don't think I need that code but please let me know if I am wrong about this.
I am posting both the AS code and PHP code below.. if someone can help me figure this out I would greatly appreciate it. I am not sure which file the problem is in. If someone here doesn't know PHP then at least see the AS code and let me know if the problem is in that or not. That way I can pinpoint which file the problem is coming from and then seek further help if needed. To see the form in action, go here: http://www.poojasdesigns.com/ and click on "Contact Me".. here are the codes:
ActionScript 3.0
//presistant reference to this movie's mail timeline:
var mainTL:MovieClip = this;
//start off with submit button dimmed
submit_mc._alpha = 40;
//create the LoadVars objects which will be used later
//one to send the data...
var dataSender:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
//and one to recieve what comes back
var dataReceiver:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
create listener for Key Object
this is just a U.I. thing - "wakes up" the submit button
when all fields have at least some content
var formCheck:Object = new Object();
formCheck.onKeyUp = function() {
     if (name_txt.text != '' &&

          alert_txt.text = '';
          //enable the submit button
          submit_mc._alpha = 100;
     } else {
          //remain disabled until all fields have content
          submit_mc._alpha = 40;
Key.addListener(formCheck);

You say you don't know much about AS3, and that you have embedded this form into an swf. In what manner did you embed it, and what version of AS does the swf use? Have you tried using the form in the page that was provided as a standalone test to see if it works?

Help With Registration Form

Hi
I have created a registration form, where on the first page
the user enters a user name and password, then they go to the next
page where they enter their name. This then goes to the next page
where they enter their address, then there contact details.
But I want all these details to go on to a page where they
can review their details, then press a submit button which inserts
the data into a mysql db.
But I need help with how I do this?
I have created the following Java script in the body. Or
should it be in the header? Or on another form? to insert their
details:-
<% Insert Data %>
<jrun:sql datasrc="regift">
INSERT INTO account VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("User_Name").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Password").trim() %>',
INSERT INTO name VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("First_Name").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Last_Name").trim() %>'
INSERT INTO address VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("House_Number").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Street").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Town").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("County").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Postcode").trim() %>'
INSERT INTO contact_details VALUES ('<%=
request.getParameter("Email_Address").trim() %>',
'<%= request.getParameter("Telephone_Number").trim()
%>'
</jrun:sql>
Is this correct?
Thanks for all your help, Lou.

Your code is correct only for the first page. What you need
to do after the
initial record is entered is grab its ID and then on
subsequent pages you
would use and UPDATE sql statement

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???

anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>

Forms central and dreamweaver CS6 - trouble with contact form

So I'm a noob. I created a simple one-column layout in DW CS6 and cannot seem to get this Forms Central contact form template to align correctly. I'm sure it is something simple (CSS related). Any help would be appreciated. It is inserted in the beginning of the body tag - here take a look.

    </div>
<div class="content">
    <h1>Instructions</h1>
    <p>Be aware that the CSS for these layouts is heavily commented. If you do most of your work in Design view, have a peek at the code to get tips on working with the CSS for the fixed layouts. You can remove these comments before you launch your site. To learn more about the techniques used in these CSS Layouts, read this article at Adobe's Developer Center - <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts.http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts">http://www.adobe.com/go/adc_css_layouts</a>.</p>
    <h2>Layout</h2>
    <p>Since this is a one-column layout, the .content is not floated. </p>
    <h3>Logo Replacement</h3>
    <p>An image placeholder was used in this layout in the .header where you'll likely want to place a logo. It is recommended that you remove the placeholder and replace it with your own linked logo. </p>
    <p> Be aware that if you use the Property inspector to navigate to your logo image using the SRC field (instead of removing and replacing the placeholder), you should remove the inline background and display properties. These inline styles are only used to make the logo placeholder show up in browsers for demonstration purposes. </p>
    <p>To remove the inline styles, make sure your CSS Styles panel is set to Current. Select the image, and in the Properties pane of the CSS Styles panel, right click and delete the display and background properties. (Of course, you can always go directly into the code and delete the inline styles from the image or placeholder there.)</p>

Hi,
Try to insert the embed code inside one of your <div> tags say the div-content tag after your <p>..</p> tags.
The embed code should work inside <div> ... </div> tags according to the layout defined there.

Help with PDF form responses

Hey there!
I have two issues with online form data collection and am completely stumped. It's a real struggle to find useful documentation for Acrobat forms!
#1 - I have created a form uploaded it to Acrobat.com, and have been able to collect test form data. In the local responses portfolio, I'm able to use the 'Update' button to bring the latest form data into the portfolio. But I would like to have a colleague be responsible for monitoring the form data and we're running into problems. He's able to open the portfolio and has full access, however the 'Update' button is greyed out so he is unable to bring in new form data. We've already updated his 'Acrobat.com' username/password in Acrobat preferences to match mine, but still no luck. Any help?
#2 - Some computers are having issues with electronic submission. My best guess is that this is to do with Acrobat versions, as the issues all seem to come from computers where the form is completed using Acrobat Reader 8. The form was created with Pro 9, and form submission works for both Pro 9 and also Reader 9. Is there something I can do here? (And yes I know that it's a free upgrade to 9, but 8 is still in the official build for our organisation and I don't really have time to wait for them to complete an upgrade!)
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

Hello Paul,
Thank you for your reply.
I use Ipower for my hosting. I see they use sendmail and the path on the server is - /usr/sbin/sendmail. Would this work?
The way I would like this to work would be:
1) I e-mail the PDF form to the client
2) Client opens and fills in the form
3) They hit submit and the form information eventually gets e-mailed to my business e-mail
I chose to use the HTTP method instead of e-mail because the PDF form says it can not be saved and if the client uses an internet beased e-mail like Yahoo it gets kind of messy.
But, does the HTTP delivery method make it more difficult since this is not embedded in a website?
Sorry, I did not realise this would be as involved as it is. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Livecycle design 8 Help with PDF forms

I am new to Livecycle 8. I have created a simple PDF form in Livecycle 8 which was orignally an excel form. I set it up with a submit button to submit by email to a designated person. The form is housed on an internal web site for viewers with adobe reader to open and fill out and then submit by email. The goal is for the designated receiver to receive the the same PDF form with the information filled out by the previous viewer. I was successful with the form being emailed to the designated person as long as the peson submitting the form was using adobe professional. If the viewer only has adobe reader, the form would not submit to the designated receiver. Please help?

Reader does not allow a local save of the form and data by default. To be able to add the attachment o an email message a local save must occur. You can Reader Extend your form to allow for this. Open th eform in Acrobat Pro. Under the Advanced menu choose the "Extend Features in Adobe Reader". Follow the wizard and save the result PDF as a different name ....I like to put RE in the name so I know it is Reader Extended. Try the new file.

Need Help with Conatct Form

I created a Contact Form in DW CS6, and I used the php and html files provided by Nancy O. in her forum dated back to October 2011. Follow the link for details. http://forums.adobe.com/message/3970070#3970070

Help with Parameter Form

Hello, I have a somewhat complicated Report and I am hoping that I can create the Parameter Form in Reports (I would rather not use Forms because I don't know it as well)
Here's my problem:
Right now I have 2 fields that I need help with.
The first one is called "Report Name" and I have it coded to a bind variable that will search for a series of "work units" such as 02% or 03%
This works as coded, the problem comes with the other "Work Unit" field. What I have right now is a LOV that queries for work units that start in either 02 or 03. This variable will narrow down the report findings to the specific work unit selected. What I want is for this list to be dependant on what the user choses for report name.
For example if the user choses ReportName1 the report query finds work units with 02%, but the "work unit" field still displays the list of work units 02% and 03% and the user must know to only chose the certain work units for the specific "Report Name" selected.
If there is a way to somehow have the "Work Unit" field be dependant on the "Report Name" field please give me soem ideas of how to do it.

Thats what I was worried about.
Well I have been trying to learn forms for some time now but I can't quite get the hang of it yet.
I don't really have anyone who knows it here, so I'm kind of learning on my own.
Thanks for the response.

HELP WITH A FORM

Ok here is the problem,
I am trying to make a form in my existing fla document and
the form will not function.
I have created the form and used the exact same php script in
a seperate flash movie and the form worked fine but I can not get
it to work in my existing fla.
I would reall appreciate any help with this issue.....
I need my file
(download my file at
http://66.70.213.43/testsite/main3.fla
to have a working email submission form.
this file has no working form on it now and the existing form
can be modified but I would like to keep the submit and the reset
buttons as is if possable.
I would like to use the php email style that is in the lesson
on gotoandlearn.com ( the lesson is listed as sending mail with php
but I am willing to accept other methods if needed.
The Movie clip symbol of the actual form with the submit and
reset button is call P5_s7
The Movie clip symbol of the page which contains the form is
called PAGE 5
I will edit the php and the flash script after you send the
file to me to reflect the email addresses that I want to use so for
testing purposes you can use any email that you want.
I would really appreciate it if someone with more flash
experience could help me out and post a working copy of my file and
the php script that the form links to so that I could re download
then.
Thank you in advance
Please note that there may be some $$$ in it for you if you
can help me.......

Don't think you're going to find anyone here who will just be
willing to do the work for you. You might want to check out the
Flash and PHP Integration sample file that comes with Flash 8 for
some pointers on how to get this started.
If you have specific questions later, write back! Good luck!

Help with Login Form (JSP DB Java Beans Session Tracking)

Hi, I need some help with my login form.
The design of my authetication system is as follows.
1. Login.jsp sends login details to validation.jsp.
2. Validation.jsp queries a DB against the parameters received.
3. If the query result is good, I retrieve some information (login id, name, etc.) from the DB and store it into a Java Bean.
4. The bean itself is referenced with the current session.
5. Once all that's done, validation.jsp forwards to main.jsp.
6. As a means to maintain state, I prefer to use url encoding instead of cookies for obvious reasons.I need some help from step 3 onwards please! Some code snippets will do as well!
If you think this approach is not a good practice, pls let me know and advice on better practices!
Thanks a lot!

Alright,here is an example for you.
Assume a case where you don't want to give access to any JSP View/HTML Page/Servlet/Backing Bean unless user logging system and let assume you are creating a View Object with the name.
checkout an example (Assuming the filter is being applied to a pattern * which means when a resource is been accessed by webapplication using APP_URL the filter would be called)
public doFilter(ServletRequest req,ServletResponse res,FilterChain chain){
     if(req instanceof HttpServletRequest){
            HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req;
            HttpSession session = request.getSession();
            String username = request.getParameter("username");
            String password = request.getParameter("password");
            String method = request.getMethod();
            String auth_type = request.getAuthType();
            if(session.getAttribute("useInfoBean") != null)
                request.getRequestDispatcher("/dashBoard").forward(req,res);
            else{
                    if(username != null && password != null && method.equaIsgnoreCase("POST") && (auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("FORM_AUTH") || auth_type.equalsIgnoreCase("CLIENT_CERT_AUTH")) )
                         chain.doFilter(req,res);
                    else
                      request.getRequestDispatcher("/Login.jsp").forward(req,res);
}If carefully look at the code the autherization is given only if either user is already logged in or making an attempt to login in secured way.
to know more insights about where these can used and how these can be used and how ?? the below links might help you.
