Setting up DW so a submitted form goes to email and PayPal??????

I build and sell wood products on my website. I would like a visitor who is interested in haveing custom work done fill out a form with their choices of wood, finishes, sizes, etc. The idea is if they want the "base product", they can click on Paypal's "add to cart" (which adds the base price of the product to their cart)then if they want any accessories added for an additional charge, I have listed each accessory and put an "add to cart" button next to each one. So, for each accessory they want, an additional charge is added to their cart total. I do not have e-comerce in D.W. as I am just starting out.
At this point I have set up a page and inserted a form. Inside the red dashed box, I have put form info such as name, address, etc. List boxes for choices of sizes, wood species, finishes, etc. I have gone into "Tag Inspector" and chose "onsubmit" to redirect to the home page in case a vsitor wants to continue shopping. Upon "submit", I would also like to receive an email with all the form information list.
If you know of a better/easier way to do this...PLEASE TELL ME
Here are my issues: (sorry, more than one)
How do I configure the form to go to my email? I googled this question and found information to set up a "sendresults.php" file with a bunch of code but that didn't work and I haven't a clue why.
I can't insert the "Add to Cart" button from PayPal into the form. It screws up the whole page.
Thank you all for your help.
Bill

Ideally, your product options should be integrated into your shopping cart system where they are stored in a product database.
https://merchant.paypal.com/cgi-bin/marketingweb?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=merchant/w p_standard
PayPal alone is not robust enough to handle more than a couple of product options such as size and colors.
Have you looked at any 3rd party shopping carts yet?

It is a company phone, don't mess with it unless you get authorization from the company. The activation, and I suspect Find My Phone are all tied to the company for a reason. Unless of course you don't value your job.

Help! My form which requires email and zip code is arriving without data. How is that possible?

An HTML form design with Dreamweaver CS5 requires the zip code and email to be entered prior to Submitting the form. We tested the form prior to going live and it worked great. The Zip Code and Email are required entries. Today, we received our first completed form from a customer and it worked and looked great. The problem is ... we have also received two forms that are blank. No data results at all; no email or zip code either. I don't know how this can be. The form cannot Submit unless the email and zip code are present.
Suggestions?
This is the webpage that has the form (scroll toward the bottom to view it).
http://www.catchaghostparanormalequipment.com/paranormaltriggerprops.html

The PHP code is:
<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------
// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Trigger Prop Contact Form';
// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = '[email protected]';
// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.catchaghostparanormalequipment.com/confirmation.html';
// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';
// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n";
$space = ' ';
$line = '';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
if ($req == '1')
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 40)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 40 characters";die;}
$j = 40 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = ' ';
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';

How to: Secure pdf form that is emailed and later uploaded

We have a pdf form that will be posted on our website. Local college/university faculty will link to the form on their websites or just give students the link to our page. Students will fill the form and it will be emailed to a faculty member from their specific school. The faculty member then needs to review the form and select candidates to present for an internship. At that point, they need to upload the form back to our server.
This form will contain sensitive information and therefore needs to be secure during the filling, emailing, and uploading processes. The faculty member receiving it needs to be able to access it as does the person on our end that will do the final reviewing after it is uploaded back to us.
I have no idea how to even start. I've created interactive forms but have never embedded one in an website. The closest I've come is a recently created web application that filled a pdf form in the code-behind and then emailed it, but that didn't require any security.
Any help will be appreciated.

Yeah I kinda figured that... Really too bad. Seems lke it should be possible somehow. Anyway, do you all have any suggestions about the best way to combine a static form that is really just text fields and such (that comments and markup tools can be used in) with another page that is sections of narrative that would need to be able to flow?
Or better yet, a way to draw lines on to a form without using the comment and markup function?
I like your idea about connecting two forms - but I need to keep the final product as simple as possible. Once the user fills it out, they would be to be able to submit it and it show up as one file, even if that is just a flat file. I don't expect you all to tell me how to do this, but it would be nice to know its possible before I commit to the project and research. Thanks in advance.

Submitting form with 'jump menu' and PHP?

I have a form that can reveal one of two question sets,
depending on the
setting of a drop-down list, e.g.,
<select>
<option>Set 1</option>
<option>Set 2</option>
</select>
Up to this stage in the development of this page, I have
solved this
requirement by using an onchange event in the <select>
tag to submit the
form to itself. The PHP code in the head of the page
evaluates the set
selected, and then writes the page containing the 'selected'
fields (either
set1 or set2).
But now, I also need to submit this form's data to the
processing page! So,
there are two competing functions here -
1. Deciding which field set to display
2. Processing the filled in fields by submitting the form to
a second
process page
How can I get these two together on the same form?
Or should I just use two separate form pages, and a
javascript jump menu?

Submitting form data to email

Hello all,
I'm really stuck here. And, In an effort to generate some
sympathy to those who might get annoyed with people like me ;) I am
just a stay at home mom that wants to do something fun on the side
while helping my family out... at any rate, I'm self-taught and I
don't quite understand the whole php, cgi, etc. thing. I've
researched this topic but similar questions and their respective
responses are too technical for me.
So... I've created a simple informational website for someone
(www.idoweddingsbylynda.com) and promised her a contact us form
(remembering how easy it was to do in Frontpage, not realizing it
wouldn't be as easy Dreamweaver) with the input being directed to
her email.
The contact us form I created is buried in the site at
www.idoweddingsbylynda.com/contactus-temp.html. I've tried one
script that I found online and called it "mail.php" - I have no
idea how it works or anything, and when I click the submit button
it just shows me the script as a web page.
she is using godaddy as her host and it supposedly supports
this action, although I don't see a cgi folder in there.

I believe GoDaddy does allow the use of a formmail script.
Why not email
them and ask them which script they use and how to go about
setting it up
for your site? That would be the first approach you should
take. You may
find a script elsewhere, but GoDaddy may not allow the use of
it.

Today when users query items , the form goes in working and it does not open.
Please tell me where to check and what to see to resolve this issue .

I open oracle application R12 Dashboard from front end. I restart services on apps node and db node.
This querying items issue is resolved but Concurrent processing , admin , forms , web tabs have cross signs on dashboard.What is the issue with CM/Admin/Forms/Web? Please elaborate more.
even i restart all the services then these cross signs should be ok.Do you mean the application is working as expected but those components status show as down from OAM? If yes, please see these docs.

How to set a customer type when submitting a form

Hello! How do I set a customer's 'Customer Type' when they submit a form? In other words, I have a form on my website and if a user completes and submits that form, I would like that user to be given a specific Customer Type.
TIA

You cant yet.
Soon though.
The output for these via liquid will be available in the release later today and hopefully the form aspects will be in the new future.

Numeric or value error when submitting form

I have a form based of a stored procedure. The form has about 20 fields on it. For some reason the form only allows data entry on only about 10 of them. If I put data in any of the other 10, I get: "An unexpected error occurred: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error (WWV-16016)"
I have looked everywhere to see what's going on. I checked the procedure to make sure its parameters are good. It takes takes all VARCHAR2's, so thats OK. I checked the fields in the form editor for validation, and none are being validated, so thats OK. I made sure all the fields are updatable and they are. I even checked the table to make sure that the data can go into the fields, even though I know that the error returned there would be through the procedure, not Portal. I am stumped. What am I missing?
Rich

Follow Up: While troubleshooting this, I filled in all the fields with one character each and the form submitted. I added characters little by little to each field until I got the error. It seems like Portal has a problem when I pass X amount of characters from a form. I say "Portal" because I thought this might be an OS parameter, but I get the same error in both Win2000 and Solaris.
Any ideas where this setting is? Or how to change it?

Submitting form via button click

Hi, i have a following code and it doesnt work and i dont know why
<jsp:useBean id="pageinfo" class="zrna.PageInfo" scope="session"/>
<jsp:setProperty name="pageinfo" property="*"/>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
     function clickEvent(form,md,wrkOn)
          form.mode.value = md;
          form.workingOn.value = wrkOn;
          form.submit();
     function m(form){return true;}
</script>
</head>
<form action="index.jsp" method=get >
     <input type="hidden" name="mode" value="">
     <input type="hidden" name="workingOn" value="">
     <input type="submit" value="Add" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'add','Student')">
     <input type="submit" value="Alter" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'alter','Student')">
     <input type="submit" value="Done" onclick="clickEvent(this.form,'general','')">
</form>
So im trying to change jsp bean properties of pageinfo thru submiting form and it doesnt work. when button is clicked the page goes blank. What am i missing?

is this page you posted "index.jsp"?
Not sure offhand, but could the form submit before onclick fires? If so, change them to button types, not submit types.
The bean has those named fields? Public get/set methods?
Does useBean have to be this?
<jsp:useBean id="pageinfo" class="zrna.PageInfo" scope="session">
<jsp:setProperty name="pageinfo" property="*"/>
</jsp:useBean>

Error message received submitting form via email - "Acrobat cannot connect to the server"

Some of my users are unable to submit form data. The forms are set up to be submitted via email and only a few of the users are effected. They have installed the latest versions of both Acrobat and Adobe Reader.
"Acrobat cannot connect to the server, but will automatically submit your form once the server is online. You can check tracker for the status of this submission."
"You have already submitted the data on this form and it is waiting to be sent. Further changes are not allowed until the prior data is sent."
I know that this question has been asked before, but there has not been a response. This is very frustrating.
Thanks for any help or sugesstions.

I have this exact same error, but also have not yet found a workaround.
Only sporatic users get the error, and I've been unable to duplicate it from my machine. I am on Adobe Reader v 10.1.2.
Actually I can get around the error if I were to downgrade to Adobe v9, but that is a bandaid fix - not really a secure answer.

Submitting Forms

An individual submitted a form and then tried to resubmit the form with more information and was not able to. Any ideas? It was from the same email address and now the email button did not respond.

Thanks Lucia. I’ve received the form several other people without any problem. Not sure what was going on with that particular person. Thanks for the suggestions. I appreciate your help.

Submitting Forms via Email

I have created an order form in LiveCycle that i wish to post on my website. I want my customers to be able to open the form directly from the site, fill it in, click submit, and for their form to be emailed directly back to me. I have tried a couple of different forms, however, when the customers click the submit button, nothing is ever sent, it will only ever try to save the document elsewhere, and this is not practical for my customers. I am convinced that i have set the form up correctly, and distributed it correctly in Adobe Acrobat, but it still does not work.
Any help would be highly appreciated!!
CraigM

Unfortunately, I think that the only data structure you can get with Designer is XML. If you recast the form in Acrobat (form tools are under the TOOLS menu, not the FORMS menu (this one takes you to Designer), you should be able to select HTML as an output data format. The only reason that would be important is if you collected the data in cgimail or formmail. An example of HTML for a web form is given at "http://www.computing.vt.edu/internet_and_web/web_publishing/webmasters_toolkit/web_form_ma iler/quickstart.html". Yes, this is HTML, but you can do the same thing by including the hidden fields in a PDF form and submitting to the formmail server. You can not use this one as it only works for folks at VT, but it provides an example. You can check with your ISP provider to see if there is such a form service available to you.
As sample form return from a HTML submit is as follows (from a different server than the VT.EDU one above):

If this suffices, then submitting your form as HTML data with the hidden fields will do the job.
If that is not adequate, then at least just submit the data to you by e-mail (that will do for 80-90% of the time) while you work out how to submit to a web server. The XML or FDF files can be imported to the form file, giving you the same result as if the full form had been sent (and no extended rights are needed). With a little programming skill, or with the form, you can insert the data from the form to a database file (sorry, I have not done it, just know you can).
I suggest you try to work things out in steps until you reach the final solution needed. Bill

Setting up DW so a submitted form goes to email and PayPal??????
