Easy PHP programming question

[jpweber]

I'm a PHP newb, so I'm thinking this will be an easy one. I modified my contact_us.php form, with this contribution: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4426 ....seemed harmless, and I like the look.

 

There are 4 fields now -- (1) Full Name, (2) E-Mail Address, (3) ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT, and (4) Enquiry.

 

Does anyone know what I can do so that instead of saying "ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT", it can just say "Subject:"?

 

Below is the coding for subject form:

<!-- BEGIN CUSTOMER SUBJECT -->

<tr>

<td class='main'><?php echo ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT . '<br>' . tep_draw_input_field('email_subject'); ?></td>

</tr>

<!-- END CUSTOMER SUBJECT -->

 

Do I have to define something elsewhere in the coding? Thanks for any help anybody can offer!

You missed to define subject in includes/languages/english/contact_us.php.

 

Edit/Add the following line

 

define('ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT', 'Subject:');

<?php echo 'Subject :<br>' . tep_draw_input_field('email_subject'); ?>

You need to remember that osC in multi-lingual, so all the "text" tags (like your ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT one) need to be defined in the proper "tag files" located in ../includes/languanges/ directories. Find the file in that area that matches your language and the file name of the file that your above modifications are in, and add a

define('ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT',"Subject");

line.

 

Hope this helps...happy hunting!

All great suggestions. Thanks guys. I added in catalog/includes/languages/english.php:

 

define('ENTRY_CUSTOMER_SUBJECT',"Subject");

 

And it works perfectly. Thanks a bunch!
