forms

Hi,

 

I've created an order form for my site by copying and modifying the contact us form, but I've run into a problem, I don't recieve the information properly. The name and email address boxes work fine, It's the other boxes I have. I changed the enquiry box to "Full address" and added another one which has space to type your order (for ordering without an account) and another box for typing payment method preferred. When I tested this I just got an email with the name, email address but no other information, any ideas what I've done wrong?

 

Alternativley I've created my own form outside of oscommerce using HTML but I don't know what values to put on the action and method attributes and my server host hasn't got a clue. Has anyone got any idea how I can find this out?

 

Thanks in advance.

Near the top of the file contact_us.php you will find the following:

 

    $enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);

 

You need to append your new form variables to it by concantenating $enquiry using .=

 

eg.

 

$enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);[/
   $enquiry .= "\n" . tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['your_variable']);

Thanks alot for that, that's fixed the first box "full address" but I added 2 other boxes, a text area and a normal input box and I can't figure out what I need to add to make these two boxes work correctly.

 

Thanks in advance :D

If you can't get that to work then take a look below my name for 'Contact Script'.

You can just do the same again:

 

$enquiry = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['enquiry']);[/
  $enquiry .= "\n" . tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['your_variable']);
  $enquiry .= "\n" . tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['your_next_variable']);

 

etc. :-D
