creating a custom form

[andyshep]

Hi all,

 

Can someone tell me how to create a custom form using the tep_draw_form() function?

 

I need to have a select menu with 4 or 5 values, a text input , a text are and a submit button.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

or is there some documentation for this? ( cant seem to find any )

 

Cheers

Probably you're best bet is to look through catalog/includes/functions/html_output.php. That'll show you the tep_draw_form function (and tep_draw_input_filed, etc) and the parameters it takes and defaults it sets. And by looking at the function you can get a pretty good idea of the code it returns.

Like tep_draw_form:

function tep_draw_form($name, $action, $method = 'post', $parameters = '')

which takes the name of the form first, then the action, post/get, then anything else you'd like in the <form> tag like onSubmit="validateForm()".

And looking at the function you'll see that this just creates the <form ...> tag, you have to close it yourself with a </form> after your other fields.
