Help with PHP script to Coldfusion

I have a PHP script that I need to create in coldfusion. I'm
fairly new to coldfusion and would appreciate any help. Here is the
PHP script... The code is suppose to retrieve the HTTP POST data
from the url. I would be open to doing this in Javascript as well.
Thanks again...
/* Script Start */
//Get the file POST data
$filePost = $_POST[$filePostVariable];
//Break the file list into an array
$filePost = explode($fileDelimiter, $filePost);

<cfset arrayList = ListToArray(url.urlVar)>
I accessed the URL vars directly via url scope, and the
default delimiter is comma otherwise add a delimiter to the
listToArray function. In the PHP example it looks like you had a
var that held the url var name. I hope this helps.

  • Help with PHP script

    Can anyone help me with this problem. I have designed a form
    for a catalogue request that i want to be emailed to me after
    submitting, I am using Fasthosts and need to use their settings. i
    have been able to do their basic feedback form and that has worked
    but when i have tried to change it to send my own form i am
    struggling. i/ have never done PHP before and know i need to learn
    quick! I have checked all the script and the message i am getting
    now is a problem with the actual sending part. This is the code i
    have used
    $sent = mail($email_to, $emailSubject, $message,
    $headers,'-f.$email_from') ;
    if ($sent)
    /*If sent direct customers to thankyou page */
    header( "Location:
    http://www.cicomol.co.uk.co.uk/thankyou.html"
    } else {
    /* If there is an error display an error message */
    echo 'There has been an error sending your comments. Please
    try later.';
    ?>
    Can anyone give me a clue?
    thanks so much
    regards

    Using a language like PHP without understanding it is an
    invitation to
    security problems. Everyone is a beginner to start with, so
    there's
    nothing wrong with not knowing how a script works at the
    outset, but you
    need to get the basics under your belt pretty quickly.
    Otherwise, you
    are laying the foundation for lots of headaches.
    OK, lecture over. "\n" is the way that PHP (and other
    languages) inserts
    a newline character.
    > my code at the moment is
    > $message= "Name: ".$name . "\nComments: ".$comments;
    So, "\nComments: " simply puts a newline before Comments. The
    period
    (full stop) concatenates (joins together) different parts of
    a string.
    You can also add to an existing string by using .= (the
    combined
    concatenation operator).
    Assuming the form is submitted using the POST method, you get
    the values
    of other fields by adding the name of the field in quotes
    between the
    square brackets of $_POST[] (POST must be uppercase) like
    this:
    $message = "Name: $name";
    $message .= "\nComments: $comments";
    $message .= "\nPhone: " . $_POST['phone'];
    $message .= "\nEmail: " . $_POST['email'];

  • Update on help with PHP to send an email

    On Jan 9th Iasked for help Asking for help with PHP to send an email wanting to send myself an email when a particular web page was opened.The group gave me lots of ideas / suggestions but unfortunately I was not able to make it work the way I wanted. But.. with perseverance.. made it work. The original PHP code I wanted to use was:
    <?php mail('[email protected]','Subject of the e-mail','This is the body of the e-mail!'); ?>
    After much trial and error. this is what I found works.. for me at any rate. My log in sets a cookie that welcomes my user back by name so I ended up using that information with this:
    <?php
    if (isset($_COOKIE["last_in"])) {
      $user = $_COOKIE["last_in"];
    mail('[email protected]','News Page',"$last_in");
    ?>
    Again, thank you for all the help with my initial question.. there are a multitude of ways to accomplish a task, and for me this is the one I was looking for.

  • Create HTML Contact Form with PHP script

    Hi Everyone
    I have designed a contact form in HTML with PHP script but it doesn't seem to be working. The PHP echo message doesn't appear after I submit the form and the e-mail message is not delivered.  The url address is http://www.dreamaustraliastudytours.com.au/Test/ContactUs.html. Any thoughts would be greatly apprecipated
    Thank you in advance
    Paul

    Hi Ben and Murray
    Thank you for your input on the php script. You nailed the problem on the head. I have up dated the script  and provided it below. I have one more question.
    After the end user submits the form I would like them to be directed to another html file - for example successful.html. Would the code be
    $insertGoTo = "successful.html";
    delete 'Thank you for contacting us. We will be in touch with you very soon.'?
    Once again thank you for your advice

  • Template with php script, white space around background, locking layers

    two questions for 2 sites:
    1.) first site http://www.beckervanhoveln.com
    I can't get my background to line up correctly; there is a giant white border around the whole thing. With the amount of extra space around the background on all sides, I think it may be an issue with the illustrator file I am importing, but I can't see any way to fix it there, either. All the margins that I can find to change relating to that background are set to 0. Any ideas on what could be causing this? The image in Illustrator is 14" wide, so it's plenty wide enough to cover the whole page.
    2.) site http://sai.theclothesgallery.com
    I inserted php scripts into a page (in the editable paragraph region) and it is messing up the alignment of the page. Compare what you get on the home page with what you get when you click the "client login" button. Also, wondering where the extra body area came from on page http://sai.theclothesgallery.com/protected_downloads_zdr/validuser.php.
    On both sites I am using wrapper and body tags, as directed in the tutorial by Nate (great one, thanks!). On my old site, http://www.theclothesgallery.com, everything works fine, but on the new ones I am just out of my mind. I've spent 10 hours over the last 2 days doing research and trying to manipulate code, to no avail. Thanks to anyone who can help.
    Finally, is there a way to lock a layer inside or on top of another layer. for example, the layer the body text is in on site http://sai.theclothesgallery.com is on top of the layer that holds the page's images (which is an imported illustrator file with slices). Is there a way to lock that layer to the first one so it doesn't move if I make changes?

    Kelly,
    1. The image itself has a white border. You will need to crop that image
    in an image editor such as Photoshop.
    2. Looking at the source of the page you have two  sections and
    two opening  toags but only one closingtag. The PHP
    script is probably creating the additional sections, but without seeing
    the script it is impossible to say for certain.
    2a. You probably have a space or blank line before the opening

    Install and put working a sqlnet working client (install the Oracle Client option of the Oracle Database CD ROM). Than compile php with the --oci option. Than try the samples in php.net (oci function in the help).

  • Need help with PHP contact form

    Hi guys,
    I've made a PHP contact form for my site and need help with a couple of things:
    The form action links an external PHP script (scripts/contact-form-script.php) but is there a way I can have it so the PHP script for the form is contained within the same PHP file as my contact form (contact.php)?
    I tried just putting the form code at the top of contact.php but the browser automatically reads the anti-spam re-direct, so maybe that needs revising too?
    The second thing is, how can I make the Name, Email and Message fields mandatory? So if a user tries to submit the form and hasn't filled in one of the required fields and clicks submit, contact.php reloads with a message at the top of the form saying something like 'Complete the required fields' and highlights the relevant field with a red border?
    Here's the code for contact.php:
    <form action="http://www.mydomain.com/scripts/contact-form-script.php" method="post" name="contact" id="contact">
    <p><strong>Name:*</strong><br />
    <input name="name" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>E-mail:*</strong><br />
    <input name="email" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>Telephone:</strong><br />
    <input name="telephone" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>Company:</strong><br />
    <input name="company" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>Address:</strong><br />
    <input name="address1" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><input name="address2" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>Town:</strong><br />
    <input name="town" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>County:</strong><br />
    <input name="county" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    p><strong>Postcode:</strong><br />
    <input name="postcode" type="text" class="ctextField" /></p>
    <p><strong>Message:*</strong><br />
    <textarea name="message" cols="55" rows="8" class="ctextField"></textarea></p>
    <p><input name="submit" value="SEND MESSAGE" class="submitButton" type="submit" /><div style="visibility:hidden; width:1px; height:1px"><input name="url" type="text" size="45" id="url" /></div></p>
    </form>
    And this is the PHP I'm using to submit the form data for contact-form-script.php:

  • Help with php contact form

    I built a form in Dreamweaver CS4 which looks and seems to work fine both in IE and FF. I then wrote the PHP script and uploaded it to my hosting site. When I fill in the form on the web, I get my "thank you" email stating I will contact them in 24 - 48 hours. I also get this from the hosting site - This email was sent using the PHP mail() function. If you received this email than the PHP mailer is working fine. With all that said my problem is that I do not get a copy of the form details. On the properties section in Dreamweaver, I have the Form ID as contactus and Action connecting to my folder - ../Contactform.php, but I have the target blank. What would it be - blank, parent or self or should it just be black?
    Thanks in advance for any help. 

    target="_blank" opens a page in a new window. It is not used for forms processing.
    For a form, when you begin it, you need to tell it what's going to happen:
    <form method="post" action="Contactform.php">
    (And, actually, I don't recommend the use of upper and lower-case characters in any file that is to be called by a web server, bu that is not related to your issue.)
    Then, you will have an action button at the bottom of your form:
    <input type="submit" value=" Contact Me" />
    When that action button (or submit button) is activated on your web page, it should query the form for what to do. In the case that I'm outlining here, the action is to run the php file you have called Contactform.php.
    At that point, your php code takes over and will do something.
    In your php, do you have something like this?
    $subject = Contact_from_your_webpage;
    $notes = stripcslashes($notes);
    $message = " $todayis [EST] \n
    Message: $notes \n
    From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
    Telephone: $visitorphone ($visitorphone)\n
    From: $visitor ($visitormail)\n
    Address: $address1 ($address1)\n
    Address: $address2 ($address2)\n
    From: $city $state  $zip\n
    $from = "From: $visitormail\r\n";
    mail("[email protected]", $subject, $message, $from);
    This should send you an email with all of the stuff you put in your form to send
    Please understand that, in this case, I am using form fields that may be different from yours (you didn't provide us with a link, so I don't know what your form fields are). My fields are as follows:
    visitor
    visitormail
    visitorphone
    address1
    address2
    city
    state
    zip
    notes
    I am going to hazard a guess that, either you didn't tell your form to do the right thing or your php is wrong.

  • Problems with php script in the contact form

    Hello, I am from the Czech Republic and I am not a coder. I have 2 problems with my php sript. I am using a simple php script from Paul Trani, see below.
    Firstly the email adress - when someone inserts an email adress in this form [email protected] it is OK, but when someone writes an address for example [email protected] (this type of adress is very common in our country) the answer is "That is not a valid email address.  Please return to the previous page and try again." I think the problem is the dot before the @.
    Secondly diacritical marks - Since I am from the Czech Republic we use diacritical marks (for example š,č,ř,ž,á,í,é,ě) so instead of this letters a get ? or Å&#153; or Å¡ to my email.
    I really do not know how to fix these problems.
    Thank you for any help. Sorry for my English. Peter

    ereg() has been deprecated, it is recommended that you dont use it.
    You want to look at this
    http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php
    Within this page I found this:
    If you need to check for .com.br and .com.au and .uk and all the other crazy domain endings i found the following expression works well if you want to validate an email address. Its quite generous in what it will allow
    <?php
            $email_address = "phil.taylor@a_domain.tv";
         if (preg_match("/^[^@]*@[^@]*\.[^@]*$/", $email_address)) {
             return "E-mail address";        
    ?>

  • Running PHP script via ColdFusion

    I'm running CFMX 7 on a Solaris platform with PHP 5.0.5.
    I need to determine the width and height of an uploaded image
    to ensure that the file can be reasonably used on a web page. I
    have scoured the Internet and found a numer of solutions to this.
    Most need the installation of additional software on our server and
    the creation of a custom tag. These are doable, but would require
    additional effort I don't have time for at the moment. Also, the
    software to install is a full image manipulation package that is
    definitely overkill for my needs. Kind of like threading a needle
    with a hammer.
    On the other hand I know that PHP has a command called
    "getimagesize" that would be perfect for my use. This would be much
    more simple and elegant. And I have created a small program (see
    below) that can accept a location of an image file and display the
    width and height of the image as a result. The code is:
    <?php
    list($width, $height) = getimagesize($argv[1]);
    echo "$width, $height";
    ?>
    I've tested it via the command line and it works fine.
    However, I'm having difficulty in running it via the ColdFusion
    cfexecute tag. Here is that code:
    <cfsavecontent variable="imgsize">
    <cfexecute name="#phpfilelocation#"
    arguments="#imagelocation#"></cfexecute>
    </cfsavecontent>
    I get nothing back from this. I've also tried the cfhttp tag
    with similar results. It seems to me that the argument (the
    location of the image) is not being accepted by the PHP code for
    some reason.
    I've looked for a solution to this within this forum and via
    Google, etc. to no avail. There is apparently something about PHP
    or ColdFusion that is escaping me. Any help clarifying why this is
    not working and (hopefully) a workaround would be very much
    appreciated. Thank you.

    Maybe this will help:

  • Need help with php gallery

    Hi guys,
    Thanks for the interest in my post...
    I want to make a gallery similar to the one at
    http://www.danwheldon.com/gallery.cfm
    where the user clicks on an image and it refreshes the current page
    bringing up the enlarged version above the rest of the thumbnails.
    I've made a .php page and linked the thumbnails like
    main.php?pagename=gallery&image=01. The only thing I think I
    need is to insert a php script where I will want the enlarged image
    to appear.
    Can anyone help me on this by any chance? I found the
    following script but don't know how to edit it to do what I need:
    <img src="images/<?php echo $imgNo; ?>.jpg"
    title="Image <?php echo $imgName; ?>" />
    Thank you very much and I hope to hear from you.
    All the best,
    Mark

  • Problem uploading images with php script.

    As a webdebdesigner i developped a cms system to upload images with php to a mysql database. Firefox version 5.0.1 for MAC and earlier have no problems with uploading through the script. But after that version it is impossible to upload images bigger then 250kb. The page where the customer chooses his image for upload stalls and the form is not sent to the actual upload script, which should validate and process the image.
    This problem only occurs in Firefox, all other browsers work just fine!
    On top of that: Giving feedback to firefox not possible for MAC.

    Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web site development issues with Firefox. <br />

  • Help with Apple Script Code

    Hi,
    I found this Apple script online and here's how it works:
    tell application "QuickTime Player"
    activate
    try
    if not (exists document 1) then display dialog "Please open a QuickTime movie." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 1
    set thefile to (choose file name)
    save document 1 in thefile
    close document 1
    end try
    end tell
    +I run the Apple script+
    *1. It prompts me to open a movie file in Quicktime*
    +I open a movie in Quicktime+
    *2. It prompts me for an name and directory to save the new file in*
    +I enter a name and directory+
    *3. It saves a new reference movie in said directory with said name*
    This is useful if I want to customize every file, but unfortunately, I just want to mass create reference movies for a whole bunch of files.
    What I am looking for is for an Apple script that is a drag and drop application, so I can drop say 100 movie files or so, and have the Apple script create reference movie files with the same name and in the same directory automatically with no prompts.
    Since I am unfamiliar with Apple script I was wondering if someone would be able to edit my existing script to do what I want.
    Thanks so much for your help!

    Use Automator. It's great for repetitious tasks (like the one you've described), and it's very user-friendly. Open Automator, create a new workflow that executes the action you want, and you can apply that action to the resources you wish to edit.
    Good resource here:
