PHP - Email answers into database

argrafic — Fri, 09 May 2008 11:31:51 -0700

I use HTML Mime Mail for PHP (http://www.phpguru.org/static/mime.mail.html) to send emails from a website. It works as a regular contact form and when someone answers it the data is stored in the database and it is also emailed to several people.

The purpose of the contact form is to work for the FAQs section of the site. So we made an administrator that you could select the data registered by the user and anwer the question. This would send the user an email and store the answer in the database.

The people that use it have now found that that way could be inpractical for them, because they sometimes are in such a hurry they just answer the questions directly through their emails and not from the application.

Is there a way so that when they send an email the answer gets stored directly in the database?

Thanks!!!]]>

Javascript, Error: "Object Required"

Shadows — Fri, 09 May 2008 09:16:01 -0700

Has anyone got an idea whats wrong with the following code.

CODE:

function __isValidEmailAddr(email)
{
var filter = /^([a-zA-Z0-9_.-])+@(([a-zA-Z0-9-])+.)+([a-zA-Z0-9]{2,4})+$/;

if (filter.test(email))
return true;
else
return false;
}

function __checkContactForm()
{
var _name = document.getElementById(name).value;
var _email = document.getElementById(email).value;
var _comments = document.getElementBy(comments).value;
var _errorTrigger = false;
var _errorMessage = ;

if ( _name = )
{
_errorTrigger = true;
_errorMessage += n~ You must provide a name;
}
else if ( _name.length < 3 )
{
_errorTrigger = true;
_errorMessage += n~ You must provide a legitimate name;
}

if ( __isValidEmailAddr(_email) == false )
{
_errorTrigger = true;
_errorMessage += n~ You must provide a real email address;
}

if ( _comments = )
{
_errorTrigger = true;
_errorMessage += n~ You must provide a message;
}
else if ( _comments.length < 10 )
{
_errorTrigger = true;
_errorMessage += n~ You must provide a legitimate message;
}

if ( errorTrigger == true )
{
alert(nThe following error(s) were discovered prior to form submission.n + _errorMessage + nn);
return false;
}

delete _name;
delete _email;
delete _comments;
delete _errorTrigger;
delete _errorMessage;

return true;

}

Whilst on the subject, can anyone recommend me a javascript debugger, Ive only IEs error messages to go on at the moment.]]>

iframe / Javascript hell!!!

onlyican.com — Fri, 09 May 2008 09:02:38 -0700

In a nutshell

I have a script which draws information from a MSSQL table, dumps into a JavaScript array.
JavaScript then shows the results, allowing for Filters / Orders and Pagination to be applied without page reload.

I then have a iframe and Div which is hidden (dislay: none)

When I click on a link, it runs some javascript which changes the display to block

CODE:

document.getElementById(MyIFrame).style.display = "block";

This works great.

Then I have a link, which runs javascript which simply does

CODE:

parent.document.getElementById(MyIFrame).style.display = "none";

The problem is, in FF (Both 2 and 3), when the Iframe is hidden, it reloads the iframe.
I know this as the Iframe calls a JavaScript function which currently has an alert, which pops up AFTER I have hidden the iframe.

NOTE:
If I comment out that one which hides the iframe, it works fine (except the iframe still showing)

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING!!!!

The code is very long and complex so if you want to see, please state what part.

Cheers in advance]]>

What format do I use?

The output date in the form is like:

How do I save this value in my db by php code?
If I need to output this value in other form, what code I must use?

Ive tryed this format to insert into my db...

CODE:

$date = date("n/j/Y", $info[post_date]);

but in my db it shows:

0000-00-00

maybe my filed format is not the right...

PHP include() in an included file

Thu, 08 May 2008 03:18:09 -0700

I have a quick question regarding the include statement in an included file.

This is the directory structure I am working with

The code in the index.php file is:

CODE:

This is the main page

The code in 1.php is:

CODE:

This is 1.php.

and the code in 2.php is:

CODE:

This is 2.php.

The output from index.php is:

CODE:

This is the main page

This is 1.php.

This is 2.php.

This is 2.php.

I dont understand how both include paths in 1.php are working, since the 1st include is relative to the main page and the 2nd is relative to the file being included.
I thought the path to the include file was relevant to the main file, but clearly both paths are working...

Does anyone know whats going on?]]>
