How Do I Submit a Form to a Server?

Overview
- I am working on forms for two seperate websites.
- I have the server information for website1, but I don't
have the information for website2's server at the moment.
- I set up a form on dreamweaver 8.0 and I am trying to get
the user to submit it to my server.
Questions:
1. Do I make the form a PHP file since I want the user to
submit it to a server? If so, I have PHP/ MySQL set up on my
webserver for website1. I hear that email is a very unreliable/
unsafe way to submit forms.
2. What is the code for this or is there a tutorial one of
you might know?
3. Website1 is an FTP and I believe that website2 is a local
server. Would there be a difference in the code besides the
rootfolder?
4. When someone submits a form to the server, is there a new
file that is created in the rootfolder or is it manifested in the
database somehow? I am very unfamiliar with databases.
I have searched over and over again in google and these
forums. All I can find is how to email a form. Even when I tried
that, all I get attached in the email is an .att file that I can't
open unless I download some rogue program that I really don't
trust. I feel submitting to a database is the way to go. Please
help me.

What you need to find out is what server side scripting can
be used on the
hosting. ASP or PHP or ?
What does the hosting's FAQ/support pages say about form to
email scripts?
Is there a hosting control panel or CPanel? If yes- look in
there.
If you can use PHP scripting, here's a quick list of
instructions for a
particular script:
If you don't want to create the php script yourself- here's a
very short set
of instructions to get a free script working in a few
minutes. Refer to the
docs folder in the expanded zip file for more info.
1)go to
http://boaddrink.com
-->phpformmail
download it.
extract the ZIP file.
2) open formmail.php in dreamweaver
Make the following changes (in code view, turn line numbers
on)
2a)
line 4,
define('CHECK_REFERER', true);
change to:
define('CHECK_REFERER', false);
reason: too many people use a firewall or Norton security to
restrict this.
2b)
Line 43
$referers = array('www.example.com', 'example.com');
change to the url address of your web site.
reason: this probably isn't needed since we just turned the
referrer
checking off. but change it anyway.
2c) *this is to hard-code the recipient address into
the php
file, where it is totally invisible *
Line 46
$recipient_array = array();
change to:
$recipient_array = array('me' =>
'[email protected]);
**of course, replace [email protected] with
the email address
you want to receive the form data
reason: this sets the email address the form results will be
sent to.
2d) give the script a default "From" address to use.
Go to line 41
Change:
define('FROM', null);
to:
define('FROM', 'Example Name <[email protected]>');
substituting your name and email address.
3) now do a File-->Save As and save this file to within
this Local Site
folder. save it as anythingyouwant.php
4) in dw's File Panel, find anythingyouwant.php and upload it
to the remote
site.
5) Now open your form html file in dreamweaver,
5a)click the mouse into the form area, and select the
<form> tag on the
lower left margin of the design window.
In the Property Inspector, it should now show the properties
of the <form>
tag. In the Property Inspector, to the right of the ACTION
line, click the
folder icon and browse to and select the anythingyouwant.php
file
you've saved to within this site.
5b) now go to dw menu-->Insert-->Form
Objects-->Hidden Field
This inserts a hidden form field.
In the property inspector, change the NAME/ID of this field
to: recipient
And the VALUE of this field to: me
the code should look like:
<input name="recipient" type="hidden" id="recipient"
value="me">
This tells the script to use the "me" recipient_alias value
as the email
address to send the form to.
5c: Do you have a form field to collect the user's email
address?
If yes, if this field is named exactly "email" then the
script will use the
user's email as the reply to in the outgoing email
6) Save and upload the form page.
Try the form from the website.
Optional:
1-make a new page for a thank you for submitting message.
In the form, insert another hidden field.
Name: redirect
Value: the full absolute
http:// address to the new thank you page.
If you don't set a redirect value- the form script will build
a "thank you,
here is what you submitted" page. If you want to use that
dynamic page-
upload the .css file that it uses.
2- If you have a field in the form to collect the visitor's
email address,
IF you name this field in the form exactly
email then the visitor's
email address will be the Reply To address in the outgoing
email.
There are 30 or so other optional form fields to control the
form- see the
readme in the docs folder. One of those optional control
fields is
verification.

The ominous Form Server Submit Form QPAC

I've seen here at least one more discussion thread regarding the ominous
Form Server Submit Form QPAC. I think many of the user got confused since this isn't a self-explanatory QPAC, espacially the name!
I've also studied the appropriate documention
"Using LiveCycle Forms QPACs". The documentation shows how to use the input and output variables of the QPAC. But it doesn't explain actually the intended use (in my opinion).
The bad thing on this is that I think the QPAC could even help me, if I would understand it.
Easy & short question:
Can I use this QPAC to convert a pdf document (stored in a document variable) into a form variable?
Any Feedback is welcome...
Nico

Hi Nico
Some background. When Adobe first launched LiveCycle, the first capabilities they needed to expose was encapsulated as Forms Server, and it provided:
1. Rendering a form. This would take a PDF or XDP file, plus some xml data, merge them together, and produce a PDF file.
2. Handling a form submission. This would take the data from an http request coming from a Submit button on a form, process it, and extract the XML data.
The Forms "Submit" QPAC is basically the submission API encapsulated as a QPAC. If you want to know exactly what it does, the best place to look is the LiveCycle Forms documentation.
So, to your question:
If a document variable contains a PDF form, you can use the Form Submit QPAC to extract the XML data.
A form variable is really just the XML data for a form, plus a reference to the PDF or XDP file that should be used for displaying the data - so if you assign the extracted XML to the appropriate node in the form variable, it should work.
I hope this long ramble is helpful.

Form Server Submit Form QPAC - Not pulling data

Hello everyone,
I wanted to see if anyone has encountered problems using the above QPAC.
My situation is as follows
1) User sends PDF back. PDF is sent back to workflow as a PDF (not XDP)
2) Form Server Submit Form is setup to extract the data from the form and put it in a document variable
However, that is not happening. I do know that the document is not broken when it is received from the Email Receiver QPAC (I've used the Avoka Document Extract QPAC to test the form itself) however for whatever reason, the variable is still empty after it is processed.
Any thoughts are appreciated!
Thanks,
Rob

Struggling with the Submit Form

My incomplete site has three links which don't seem to work at all. Unsurprisingly they are all the same file type and I don't have the slightest clue on how to fix it!
http://www.expertpcguides.com/contact-us.html
I have supplied the coding for one of my pages 'Site Feedback'. My goal is to create a send-able form where the user can contact us at [email protected]. You guys supplied me with this script, but for some reason (probably due to my own fault) it isn't working! Thanks for the help.

Error when submitting form to PHP server

Hi all,
I'm trying to submit a PDF file (as a whole, not just the data) to a PHP server. It works as far as the file being delivered and saved, but in Acrobat I keep getting an error message at the end of the process, saying: "No Input File Page Data".
I tried doing some research online and it seems to be related to the return value sent by the server to Acrobat, but I can't seem to get it to function properly.
We've tried using header('HTTP/1.1 204 No Content'); as the response, but it doesn't seem to help, either.
Any ideas would be much appreciated...

The No Content approach should work. Can you show the exact code you're using to generate the response? Did you add "#FDF" to the end of the URL for the submit form action?
If you haven't looked into it already, consider returning an FDF that causes a popup dialog to display as a way of providing feedback.

How can i submit form-data with acrobat pocket pc

how can i submit form-data (http-post) on a PPC?
how can i store the data offline?
which submit-functions are availabe for the pocket pc reader?
do i need ARES?
where can i find a documentation of of the available functions for the ppc version?
where can i fond form-samples for ppc?
from the docu on my pocket pc:
Submit form data using handheld devices over a wireless connection. If you are working offline, the data is temporarily stored, then submitted once a connection is established. Send forms by e-mail or directly to the destination server using a cradle or cable

To your question regarding the Pocket PC version of Reader, I downloaded Adobe Reader for Pocket Pc 2 and installed it on my HP iPAQ . I then loaded my test PDF file onto the iPAQ. The Reader for Pocket PC preformed an email submission fine. However, I received no indication that anything happened when I tried an HTTP Post. So I think you can only do an email submission.
In general, I have been testing to see how much I can do without the Live Cycle Reader Extensions, since for sure I will never be able to purchase them. What I have found is that for Acrobat Reader 7, the email submission works for all of the people I have asked to test it, but the HTTP Post has worked for only one of the two people who have tested it so far with Reader 7 (the one for which it worked claims that he only has Reader 7 on his computernot Acrobat).

Save interactive adobe form in presentation server through report program

Hi All,
          We have developed a interactive adobe form in SFP transaction and we are calling this form
          from report program and we are able to save the form in presentation server.
          But my scenario is that user provides input in interactive adobe form and i need to save the interactive adobe form
          in display mode that to in presentation server with input values provided by the user.
         could any help to achieve this or guide me if i am moving in a wrong path.
Thank you,

It all depends on what you want to do.
If you are planning on users to fill out on-line form only and submit to SAP, it is pretty easy to do (that is once you understand how to create web dynpro and interactive form).
You can also have users fill a form offline and upload to online and save it to SAP.
You do need to know little bit about coding (ABAP or JAVA),
but can be done w/ very minimum coding.
If you are planning on doing in Web Dynpro ABAP,
go to SE 80 and select WebDynpro and create form.
To save data/form to SAP, you probably want to use BAPI or Function module already available so that you don't have to do much coding to save data.
See some of these links for helpful tutorials. Thomas Jung has several good tutorials, but none of them probably have all the information you need... you just have to pick some from here and some from other places... If you have specific question, I will be happy to guide you...

Submit complete PDF to server.

So I started out thinking this would be a super easy thing to implement. I had an awesome PDF that I wanted to put on-line and have people fill out and hit a button and have it saved on my server. (eventually I'd love it if it was submitted to my dropbox.) Looking high and low I couldn't find anyway to do this. I even spent an hour on chat with adobe and had a case subsequently submitted and then escalated to senior support and after 2+ hours on the phone they still don't know what to say. For the submit form options the bottom one is submit the complete PDF and when I choose that nothing gets saved to the server instead a PDF gets created showing an index of the directory that I'm trying to save it to. Finally I decided that maybe I would just have the data submitted as fdf and then put into the PDF and re saved. So after finding this link< http://koivi.com/fill-pdf-form-fields/tutorial.php > I can now have the filled out information submitted as a fdf file! But can't figure out how to have the fdf put back into the PDF and flattened and saved.
So in short I'm looking to have a PDF filled out and submitted/saved back on the server. Either by submitting the complete PDF or submitting the fdf file and put back into the PDF.
If anyone can help me with this I'd be eternally greatful to you!!!

The submission arrives on the server as the input stream, so in PHP you can simply read it and write it back to a file.
See the example in http://tv.adobe.com/watch/acrobat-community-tv/working-with-form-data/
PHP used to include support for FDF parsing, but it's been depreciated. You can still get the libraries though, and put the classes back (along with a copy of the FDF Toolkit binaries) - see http://php.net/manual/en/book.fdf.php - but if you send XFDF data you can parse it easily as it's just XML.
Also, bear in mind that recent security changes in Acrobat and Adobe Reader mean that if you're viewing the PDF on the desktop, FDF responses from the server will be blocked if they try to change the document or execute a script (such as filling in a form value or opening an alert box). If the PDF is running in a browser and the submission is to the same domain as the PDF was served from, the response will be allowed to run.

Distributed form missing "automatic" Submit Form button

I am going crazy and running out of time.
I created a form in Acrobat. I distributed the form using SharePoint. It worked great. For me and my test user. I sent the distributed file to my boss so she could try it and there was no Submit Form button. The purple forms bar was there; Highlight Fields was there; there was no Submit Form button. I tried it on another user's computer and no Submit Form was there. I tried it on our terminal server with a test user (set up like a standard user), and there was a Submit Form button. I tried it on a computer outside our network and no Submit Form button was there. I also had my boss try it in the terminal server (known working computer) and no Submit Form button was there.
I have looked around the net and found a JavaScript reference that hid a Submit Form button, but that is a different, ugly, email-only button meant for backwards-compatibility.
This is so effing frustrating. I can't find a single reason the Submit Form button will show up for some and not others.
I submitted it via e-mail. I open it within Terminal Services, logged in as me, and the Submit button wasn't there. I open it with my Test user (a standard user, not admin or anything) and the Submit button is there. I open it on my local machine and the Submit button is there. WTF IS GOING ON, ADOBE??? I am so frustrated right now.

On this machine I only have AA5. I was able to open the first form, but saw no submit button anywhere. The second form would not open. I might try it with AA7 a bit later (the only versions I have at home).
I was able to check the various radio buttons and type in the text boxes. The text boxes seem to wrap correctly.
I assume folks will be fine with the exceeds expectations being on the left. In many surveys, the best is on the right and not on the left. However, I am not sure there is any standard for that and you have been consistent. I was wondering how you were going to take care of the signatures. It looks like you are going to do them by hand - I guess the advantage is that all the signers would see the entire evaluation before signing. The alternative would be to introduce digital signatures in some sense, possibly using the Acrobat route.
Again, I see no submit button. Bill

How to make submit form submit xml differently

Hello,
The acrobat built in submit form button which submits xml expects the receiving server to be able to read the XML unlimited. Unfortunately I can't do this with Lotus Domino server 6.5.
I am looking for a way to save the XML data to a file and upload it to a website as if the user had saved and uploaded it themselves, but automated using some javascript on a button. Is this possible? Any examples/help/pushes in the right direction greatly appreciated.

Looks like my problem was just the TARGET=_blank> stuff. I change the code to the following:
DECLARE
l_url VARCHAR2(200);
begin
l_url:=
'/portal/page?_pageid=154,107011&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL';
PORTAL.wwa_app_module.set_target(l_url,'CALL');
exception
WHEN OTHERS then
htp.p(SQLERRM);
end;
That works fine and instead of putting it in place of the INSERT button code I left that alone and put it in the "After form processing" pl/sql code. Now it works pretty well. The only thing left to fix is that it loses all my current Page Parameter values when forwarding the url like that.

Send PDF form to FTP server folder

I am not sure if this is possible, but one of my clients wants it, so I'm checking. They have a PDF form set up that currently sends the attachment via the user's email program. My client doesn't like that. So they want it to when a user fills out the PDF and submits it, the filled out PDF is sent to an FTP folder they can access. Is it possible to send a PDF to a specified FTP folder? If so, what all would be needed?
Thanks

Not possible. You can submit to a web server, which can then save the file somewhere, but this would involve some programming.

Need submit form code

I know almost nothing about coding and fear my eyes will be permanently crossed by all the solutions I've searched for and tried over the last week. What I need is (a) the php or perl code to tell the submit button to send the entire form and (b) instructions about exactly where to put it.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.

Your form is not declared and doesn't do anything.
When you create a form, you need to declare it.
Then you need to say what the form does or what it calls.
Here's an example:
<form action="dothis.php" method="post">
First name: <input type="text" name="fname"><br>
Last name: <input type="text" name="lname"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>
Now, the action="" part should call server-side code that collects all of your data and sends it in an email to whomever you wish. But since you did not declare your form and did not give it an action or a method, you have the entry blanks but it's just going to sit there.

Submit form without email client

we have recently acquired Reader Extensions with the main aim of allowing submission of forms by citizens online without the form actually asking the user for an email client on the PC.
Developer uploaded the form and applied rights on the form through the reader extensions, but on returning back the form from the server, the "submit" button on the form stillasks for the email client on the local PC. The 'Submit email' button automatically generates the email client popup. is there any way to go round this, i.e, the public can fill in a form online from anywhere without the form actually asking for an email client on the PC ? Pls help. we were told that Reader Extensions was the solution for this problem.

Usually the PDF submit by email button when used in Reader will ask whether they want to send it via an email client or save it to use with webmail e.g. Hotmail. The first selection will automatically open the default client on the computer (Outlook, Windows Mail etc) and launch a new message automatically populated with the email address to send to, subject and PDF attachment, as specified by the form author, ready for the user to press send. The webmail option allows the user to just save the PDF form on the desktop and manually log into their webmail account, create a new message, enter the email address to send to and attach the PDF previously saved.
The process isn't ideal and causes email submit to be either unreliable or generates questions from the user who are unsure how to proceed. We have a server-side system that eliminates this standard process and allows the a submit button to be placed on the form that uses http submission to our server, which then automatically dispatches the completed form to your email address as a PDF attachment. Its quick and simple, all the user does is complete the form, press send and then press OK to the thank you pop-up and moments later you get the email.
It was initially intended to be used privately for our own clients however a few weeks ago I started offering it to anybody that needs this facility, it doesn't cost much and I can let you try it out on your form upfront. Just go to www.pdf2email.co.uk for more information. A while ago it took me hours upon hours of research to find a solution and it took quite an investment in time and money to set it up but it has most deffinately been worth it.

Submit form email address save document at same time?

I want to save a template with a submit form button which saves and sends a new document to an email address?

If you are not already, you need to use a server side script to process your forms. Do not use mailto for the form action property. The server side script is where you put the code to redirect to the 'thank you' page. Many common scripts take the redirect url from a hidden form field.
