There is no validate form server behavior built into
Dreamweaver. Perhaps you'rr looking for the Validate Form in the
*Behaviors* (not Server behaviors) panel?

Php form - server behavior form not there!

I figured this out....form name is different than form ID.
When I go into the server behavior in the authenticate user -
login user the form name I have labeled in the properties windows
in not showing up. It only says <unnamed>, however it is
named login_form. Any ideas? I am stumped.
I finally figured out the mysql stuff, to get stuck on this
small detail.

This is the line that's causing the trouble:
> $comments = $_POST['comments'] ;
Change it to this:
$comments = $_POST['opmerkingen'];
Then it should work.

Help with Dreamweaver Validate Form Behavior

Hello,
I'm attempting to use Dreamweaver to validate form fields. This would work quite well except for in this case I'm using custom form code which is coming from Salesforce.com. The issue has been that the Salesforce.com web-to-lead form comes with "name" attributes on every form field item. If I change these names to make the validation look nicer, for example from first_name to First Name, then the web to lead form breaks. Is there another way to utilize Dreamweavers form validation by creating by own names for each form element instead of using "name"? The objective is to give the user something that looks good... like:
First Name is required
Last Name is required
And with the Salesforce custom name fields it ends up looking like:
900000xxxxx213s is required
or
last_name is required
Thanks for any help!

The name attribute of a form cannot contain spaces. That's why the validation behavior breaks.
The Dreamweaver Validate Form behavior is rather crude and well past its sell-by date. Use the Spry Validation widgets instead: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS267C8659-3AEF-4956-8268-E38CA4CAFAD3a .html.

Update record server behavior preventing passage of form parameter in php

I have a multi-page survey set up in php. I am trying to pass a form variable to the next page, but the 'update record' server behavior is preventing me from passing the variable to the next page. I have tried including the variable as a parameter in the url, but this is not working either. Please help.

Can you not pass it onto the next page using a SESSION?
As an example say you want to pass the information from a form field with the name 'company' to another page.
At the top of the page that the form is submitted to you start a SESSION - <?php session_start(); ?> - then you collect the information from the form as normal BUT using a SESSION variable - $_SESSION['company']
The resulting php code might look like below:
<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['company'] = $POST['company'];
?>
Then you can pass the SESSION variable on to as many page as you like:
So for instance the next page in the chain needs <?php session_start(); ?> at the top again to initiate a SESSION.
Then the resulting code may look like below. The information from the form field 'company' is being passed from page to page.
<?php session_start(); ?>
<?php
if(isset($_SESSION['company'])) {
echo $_SESSION['company'];
else {
echo "Company name is not set";
?>

How to validate form before redirecting?

Dreamweaver CS3, MacPro, Using default Validate in DWCS3 Behaviors
Page is here: http://www.generationscrossing.com/runnerValidateTest.php
I am having trouble getting this page to validate before going to another page.
I have a Server Behavior of Insert Record where I have the redirect address.
To start, I don't fill in any of the fields and click the submit button and it takes me to the page specified in the Insert Record setup dialogue.
Or I can fill in some of the fields and not others and click the submit button and it still takes me to the page specified in the Insert Record setup dialogue.
Code is attached

Hi,
The validate() method can be called for the form by calling:
Spry.Widget.Form.validate(form).
Add this line into your method and if validate method returns
true, the validation pass and you submit the form, otherwise you
block the submition.
if (Spry.Widget.Form.validate(form) == true){

Cannot Edit Duplicate Server Behaviors (bugged?)

Okay, here's a problem:
I've got a user login page with two different forms on it -
one to log in new users, and one to log in existing users. I
applied a "log in user" server behavior to each of them. Now both
of these server behaviors are showing up under the Server Behaviors
menu with the exact same name: "Log In User". When I try to save
this file I get the following error:
The Server Behavior panel cannot determine whether "Log In
User" or "Log In User" is applied to your page. Please select the
Edit Server Behaviors and change one of the two behaviors to ensure
that each is uniquely identifiable.
Clicking on each of them points to the same block of code
(which logs in the existing user). I cannot delete them using the
minus sign. When I click on the plus sign and select "Edit Server
Behaviors" it shows me two other custom behaviors that I'd already
downloaded (and used on another page) but doesn't show me the "Log
In User" behavior at all.
Is there any way to edit these behaviors? Change the name of
one of them? Right now my page is working perfectly and I wouldn't
mind the error except for the fact that this page is based on a
template. Any template changes I make are not updating to this
page. . . perhaps there's a preference I could change that would
allow template changes even if an error is encountered?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Sylvain; thank you for the reply. No, this issue impacts entries other than automount as well.
So far I have observed this with entries consisting of :
1) top/posixaccount/organizationalPerson/person/inetOrgPerson,
2) top/groupofuniquenames/posixgroup
3) top/iphost/nsHost
4) top/nisNetgroup
I have double/triple checked the schema and any log files as well to no avail.
I have opened SR 3-10281206831 related to this issue.

Restrict Access to Page Using a password.php Instead of Server Behavior

I previously used "log in" and "restrict access to page" server behaviors for my client portal when I only had one client. I had my username and password stored in mySQL database. I recently have gained more clients that all needed to be redirected to their own customized landing page when logged in. Because of this, I used a password.php to store the usernames and passwords and to redirect to different pages. Now, I am wondering how I can restrict access to these pages (i.e. someone won't be able to access the pages by typing the url) since I will not be connecting to a database anymore.

I'm also confused by your statements.
>Now, I am wondering how I can restrict access to these pages
>(i.e. someone won't be able to access the pages by typing the url)
>since I will not be connecting to a database anymore.
It doesn't matter where you store the credentials - database or php file - the techniques for restricting access will be similar. I really don't understand why you moved away from the database when you got more clients. The more data you need to manage, the more reason to store it in a database.
After logging in, most sites direct users to the same page, yet pull user specific data from the database. If for some reason you can't do this and need to built individual pages for each client, then store the 'landing' page for the client in the php file or database. Restrict access to each page by comparing the logged in name with an allowed login name. Or a more dynamic approach would be to dynamically pass the page name to a database query that validates that it's ok for the logged in user to access.
Also, these questions are more appropriate for the app dev forum.

MongoSlade,
I had this exact same problem with a CFMX 7 datasource that
was set up as Microsoft Access with Unicode. It turns out that
"Password" is a reserved word in the Unicode driver. Or somewhere.
I got around it by putting square brackets, i.e., [ ] around the
column name, like this:
update MyTable
set [Password] = '#form.Password#'
where UserID = '#form.UserID#'
That solved the problem nicely. I hope this solution will
work for you as well.

LifeCycle Form Server :- My form is rendering as pdf in the browser without displaying data sometim

LifeCycle Form Server :- My form is rendering as pdf in the browser without displaying data sometimes within data fields, and at other times it will display data. The form consistently displays data when rendered in HTML.
We display the forms in a browser either HTML or PDF format based on the user selection. But the behavior of PDF format is not consistent. Sometimes it renders properly and sometimes the form renders without data.
Dose any one experienced this issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

I have been seeing the same issue, but haven't been able to find a fix for it yet. So any info would be appreciated here too.
Thanks

Believe what or whom you like. Since Adobe's acquisition of
Macromedia,
it owns CF, so it would be strange for a company not to
promote its own
product. However, I see no evidence of PHP development being
"pushed" in
favour of any other server-side technology.

Adobe doesn't produce extensions. Third party developers do.

Publishers decide what they think the market is interested
in. FWIW, my
publisher released three Dreamweaver 8 books - mine on PHP,
another on
ASP, and a third on static website development. A deliberate
decision
was taken not to do one on CF because sales of the MX 2004/CF
book were
poor, in spite of being written by some highly respected
names. I don't
know the background to the decision not to do one on ASP.NET,
but I
suspect it's because my publisher was releasing a truckload
of ASP.NET
2.0 books at the same time.

Unless it comes from an Adobe source, anything written here

Adobe Form Server 5.1 Memory Problems

FSService.exe increases memory when serving forms but never releases it.
The forms are of the Form Server type and they have several calls to an InHouse COM Component.
The COM Component was developed to encapsulate the calls to our Legacy systems via ODBC, COMTI, etc.
We have detected that the FSService releases the memory when serving forms that doesn't make calls to our COM Component.
We want to know if this behavior is normal when calling COM Components from the forms or is this a bug and if so if there is a way to solve it?
Thanks...

1) I don't know what you've typed in when installing... but I've never seen that message. Are you using any language specific characters ?
Do you get the error after this screen ?
<b>
The suffix is the root of your directory tree. You may have more than
one suffix.
Suffix [dc=sun,dc=com]:
</b>
If yes, then this means that the value you typed in is not a valid DN... and you must enter a valid one.
2)The Directory Server is installed under /usr/iplanet but the database is under /var/iplanet/ds5 and configuration is under /etc/iplanet/ds5 ...
You can use symbolic links if you want to move things around.
3) You mean you downloaded the tar.gx file of iDS 5.1 and install it on Solaris 9... No problem, I do this every day. As long as you have right to create directories and files, you should be able to install as anyone. If not, you should install as root and then let the server run as a special user.
4) Solaris 9 comes with iDS5.1 packages already installed. But the server is not configured at all.
Running directoryserver setup allows you to configure it and create the database, accounts...
Running directoryserver uninstall remove the instance of the installed database... It doesn't remove the packages. You can start again a setup...
By the way, I think that iDS 5.1 on Solaris 9 comes with the full documentation... May be you should start by reading it.

Ludovic.

Creating Login Pages - Server Behavior Issues

Hello,
I been trying to find a solution to this problem for this
past week.
I'm having issues with creating a login page. First, I get
the page created with a username text box, password text box, save
username checkbox, etc. Next, I add the server behavior for 'User
Auth' - 'Login User'. Now..here's the problem. When I complete
that, I get this error (SEE BELOW). Somehow the server behavior
duplicates. I can't go on until I make one of them unique from the
other. I tried every which way to delete it, but I can't. Any
suggestions?
SERVER BEHAVIOR ERROR
"The server behavior panel cannot determine whether "Log In
User" or "Log In User" is applied to your page. Please select Edit
Server Behaviors and change one of the 2 behaviors to ensure that
each is uniquely identifiable."
NOTE: By using the "-" sign above the panel, I can't remove
the duplicate.
Also, when I create a login page, I do need to insert a form
first("form1") and then place the username, password, checkbox
inside that "form1" form I just created, correct?
Thanks for all your help!

You could do a redirect on the page that they do land on once

My personal preference would be to make one page, and only
show the user
groups parts of the page that they are allowed to see.

Parse errors from server behaviors

I have created an input form for a mysql/php database set up on my testing server with a set of fields in a repeat region. All the fields are properly displayed when I switch to LiveView or browser preview. I am, however, having the following problem with server behaviors:
If I add “Display Total Records” at the bottom, it displays just fine, but if I try to add the behaviors for previous page, next page, starting record number or ending record number, I get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\LEAP\admin.php on line 81
Lines 81-84 read:
$totalPages_VolApp = ceil($totalRows_VolApp/$maxRows_VolApp = 10;
$pageNum_VolApp = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_VolApp'])) {
$pageNum_VolApp = $_GET['pageNum_VolApp'];
I also cannot switch the repeat region to “show all records.” This results in a similar syntax error.
What is a parse error? What problem is indicated? thanks.

What is a parse error? What problem is indicated? thanks.
It's an error in code. The error is in the following line:
$totalPages_VolApp = ceil($totalRows_VolApp/$maxRows_VolApp = 10;
That line is nonsense in PHP terms. It has almost certainly been created as a result of not removing server behavior code correctly when making changes to a page. You can't edit PHP code simply by selecting dynamic text in Design view and deleting it. To remove a server behavior cleanly, you need to select its name in the Server Behaviors panel and click the minus button.
The code you have posted here looks so badly corrupted, I suggest you start the page again.
