if manufaturer id=x, redirect to questionaire else

superstyling · November 21, 2003

The manufacturer (x) of some cosmetic products I wish to sell on-line require that a patient questionnaire or survey is filled out so that potential allergies can be ascertained prior to any of those manufacturerer's products being shipped to a customer.

I'm guessing that a solution is that a manufacturer scenario is added to the shopping_cart.php page so that "if manufaturer id=x, redirect to questionaire.php" else procede to checkout or login pages as per normal. If the product maufacturer=x, then, on completion of questionaire.php, I want to receive an email via a regular CGI script and the customer would procede to checkout.php or login.php

The database does not need to determine the content of the questionaire as I can handle that manually prior to shipping: I'll match the CGI email to the customer order and if the product suits the customer, I'll ship it and if it does not suit, I'll notify the customer via manual email that they are not eligible.

1) My question is, what code should I insert into shopping_cart.php to achieve the above, and what line should it be placed on? ...and..how do I code the SUBMIT button on the proposed questionaire.php page so that it redirects to the checkout or login page as per normal.

2) Does this sound like an easy fix; or is there a better solution?

If there is a PHP guru that knows what I need and can tell me I'm on the right track - thanks in advance - I look forward to some advice

actually shouldnt be too hard..I just added phpesp to my site and i havent activated it yet but you have to right idea...

take a look at my survey..its not a real survey just a test

http://www.videogamedeals.com/survey.php

so once you install the survey software you just have to call it with an if statement and also you should have it open in a target="_blank" window

lmk how I can help..I would like to do a similar thing

Hi jesse,

just looking at your site, nice Christmas snow and all.

I have just noticed : Join now to recieve special offers from VGD

The word recieve should read : "receive"

The survey you have, is it a contribution? where can I find it?

now just add the other things for filenames.php

define('FILENAME_SURVEY', 'survey.php');

now the /catalog/includes/files/language/english/survey.php needs to be created

<?php
/*

*/

define('NAVBAR_TITLE', 'Survey');

define('HEADING_TITLE', 'Survey');

?>

now install the phpesp into /catalog/survey/

and follow the install directions for phpesp

you should be all set

Oops...forgot to say that you also need to add some type of link either in the NAV or maybe a box. If you want to be creative you can have it on the last checkout checkout page and ask people about their experience shopping with you. Heck u can essentially create multiple survey.php pages for each survey. survey1.php survey2.php and so on

if manufaturer id=x, redirect to questionaire else
