cyberflight -> Form Help... Ive looked everywhere. (2/15/2005 23:38:11)

Ive looked everywhere and cant find a way to post to my page, and send an email....
I have to send the form information to a recipt page that processess it for my e-commerce gateway. Problem is the gateway dose not hold extra variables for me to save information I still need. So I need the form to ether send an email or save to txt file.
I am using HTML, PHP, and FP extensions.

Here is the code on the form.


<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="receipt.php" language="JavaScript" name="Donate" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" U-File="new.txt" S-Format="HTML/BR" S-Label-Fields="TRUE" B-Reverse-Chronology="FALSE" S-Email-Format="TEXT/PRE" S-Email-Address="myemail@myemail.net" B-Email-Label-Fields="TRUE" S-Date-Format="%Y-%m-%d" S-Time-Format="%H:%M:%S %Z" S-Builtin-Fields="REMOTE_NAME Date Time" -->

At the moment it will send all the information to the recipt.php file, but dose not email anything.

Any sugguestions?

Hi CyberFlight,

My first suggestion would be to post a URL for your form page.

Generally speaking ...

FrontPage Form Requirements

The Frontpage form relies on three primary ingredients.

1. The FrontPage Server Extensions must be enabled on the server.

2. You must publish with FrontPage to http location. Don't use FTP.

3. Use .htm or .html page extension.

Additionally, in order to send results to email, the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) must be set up to send form mail.

Have tried a few different ways and nothing seems to work

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="../_vti_bin/shtml.dll/payments/recipt.php" language="JavaScript" name="Donate" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="email@email.net" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" s-builtin-fields startspan <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" --><table>

This should work but I get the error

Cannot run the FrontPage Server Extensions on this page: "payments/recipt.php"

Not sure if they are supposed to work and my hosting sucks, or if FP just wont post to PHP.

So I tried

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="recipt.php" language="JavaScript" name="Donate" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--">
<!--webbot bot="SaveResults" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" s-email-address="email@email.net" b-email-label-fields="TRUE" s-builtin-fields startspan <!--webbot bot="SaveResults" endspan i-checksum="43374" --><table>

And it send the corect information to the corect page but dose not send the email.

The page currently is at

Hi cyberflight,

You may have missed step 3 of my answer above.

3. Use .htm or .html page extension.

If you are sending to script, this wouldn't matter as the form action would rely on the script rather than the extensions. Now as far as I know, you shouldn't have a problem sending to a .php page for confirmation as long as you weren't using the FP confirmation fields on the confirmation page.

Generally when using a FrontPage form to send to email and optional file, the action is action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"

In the second HTML example, you have both webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" and ACTION="recipt.php"

The FP form in this instance directs the form properties settings to the webbots to be acted on.

I cant use htm or html page extensions to post to they wont hold the variables needed for the merchant gateway transaction.
I have to pass this information to 2 places, from the form all information to a file or email don't care where just somewhere it can be retrieved, and to the recipt.php page.

The action --webbot-self-- will post to itself and not pass the information to the gateway.

Using webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" and ACTION="recipt.php is the attempt to get it to post to itself and to the php page.

I tried using the form in html and then posting to the php page but I get (Front page server extensions can not post to this page)

Here is the working page that submits my transaction etc, now I just need it to send me the rest of the information or all of the information in the form to an email or alternate file.

Cyberflight,
The link below will show you another way to e-mail your from info to you. This way the person filling out the form clicks submit and his or her e-mail program opens with all of the information from the form in an e-mail with your e-mail address in the To:box and all they have to do is click send and it will be sent to you.

I realize this isn't ideal but its what I'm doing until I can sort out how it is done using the other option. Its better than a poke in the eye.

Hope this helps,
Viper
