Text box in email form

[magiccupcake]

I added a form to a website where there is a long list of products (about 200) and there is a quantity box next to each of them. When the form is sent The email contains all of the products and the ones that were selected have the quantity number next to them. Is it possible to only have the ones that were selected sent? It works fine if I use a check box instead of a text box but I need to have a quantity with it. Also the script I am using to send is PHP.

Thanks

The first thing that comes to mind is a regex test for an if construct, assuming your buyer puts a digit in the textbox.

Im sorry. I have no idea what that means. I don't know a lot about php. below is a link to the site and the php script i am using(i didnt write it). Hope someone can help me out.

It is on a temp domain for right now. and the flash at the top will not load.


This is the php script

PHP: Select all

<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------

// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Results from Contact form';

// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = 'design@webofamerica.net';

// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.google.com;

// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';

// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n";
$space = ' ';
$line = '
';
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
if ($req == '1')
{
if ($value == '')
{echo "$key is empty";die;}
}
$j = strlen($key);
if ($j >= 20)
{echo "Name of form element $key cannot be longer than 20 characters";die;}
$j = 20 - $j;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++)
{$space .= ' ';}
$value = str_replace('n', "$line", $value);
$conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
$text .= $conc;
$space = ' ';
}
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">;
?>

Right now I do not have all of the products set up. When the email sends it will look like this

2,4-D_AMINE__2_1/2: 2
2,4-D_AMINE__30:
2,4-D_LV4: 3
2,4-D_LV6__2_1/2:
2,4-D_LV6__30: 4
ACCENT_DF_:
Name: Mat
Address: 734 4th st sterling il
Phone: 555-6066
Email: gds@hdsj.com
Submit: Submit

There is a 2, 3 and 4 next to the products that were selected. When I have all of them sent there will be just too many to sort through and that Is why I only want the selected boxes to send.

Try this:

PHP: Select all

<?php
//--------------------------Set these paramaters--------------------------

// Subject of email sent to you.
$subject = 'Results from Contact form';

// Your email address. This is where the form information will be sent.
$emailadd = 'design@webofamerica.net';

// Where to redirect after form is processed.
$url = 'http://www.google.com';

// Makes all fields required. If set to '1' no field can not be empty. If set to '0' any or all fields can be empty.
$req = '0';

// --------------------------Do not edit below this line--------------------------
$text = "Results from form:\n\n";
$space = ' ';
$line = '
';
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
    if ($req == '1') {
        if ($value == '') {
            echo $key." is empty";
            die;
        }
    }
    if($value!="") {
        $j = strlen($key);
        if ($j >= 20) {
            echo "Name of form element ".$key." cannot be longer than 20 characters";
            die;
        }
        $j = 20 - $j;
        for($i = 1; $i <= $j; $i++) {
            $space .= ' ';
        }
        $value = str_replace('\n', "$line", $value);
        $conc = "{$key}:$space{$value}$line";
        $text .= $conc;
        $space = ' ';
    }
}
mail($emailadd, $subject, $text, 'From: '.$emailadd.'');
echo '<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL='.$url.'">';
?>

should work like you described.

That worked Exactly how I wanted it to. Thank you so much. Also How were you able to put the code in a box like that? I was trying to figure that out earlier.

[BGarner]

use [] and a word like html, code, quote. then close it like [/code]

[masonbarge]

To add to BG's advice, there is a specific code for php that will give it the right colors.

[magiccupcake]

ok thanks.

Something I noticed with the form is that if I put decimals "." in the input name of the text box they do not show up in the email. it changes them to underscores "_" Is there a way to fix that?

[rfresh]

Use the str_replace() function after the fact.
