PHP Form Issue

CGFX — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 13:04:56 -0800

I am having trouble with transferring my website visitors information from the HTML form to my PHP file to my designated email address.

All I see when I open am email is this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name:
Email:
Phone Number:
Comment:

The above displays the field name of each row, but the input data from the websites visitors.

Below is the PHP code I wrote, any suggestions?
Thanks cgfX

code:



/* Subject and Email Variables */

	$emailSubject = Contact Us!;
	$webMaster = putEmailAddressHere;
	
/* Gathering Data Variables */

	$name = $_POST [name];
	$email = $_POST [email];
	$phone = $_POST [phone];
	$comment = $_POST [comment];
	
	$body = <<

	
Name: $name 

Email: $email 

Phone Number: $phone 

Comment: $comment 

EOD;

	$headers = "From: $emailrn";
	$headers .= "Content-type: text/htmlrn";
	$success = mail($webMaster, $emailSubject, $body, $headers);
	
/* Result rendered as HTML */

	$theResults = <<

Dynamic Forms

HaydenJW — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:56:42 -0800

Ive done some searching on the forum but I havent been able to find anything that answers this question:

Is it possible through JavaScript to make a form made up of 3 drop-down inputs that each subsequent inputs is based off the input of the prior. I would like to have users be able to select the year of the automobile they are looking for; then, have the list of all makes available in that year; then, all the makes from that Year and Make. Then, submission will be sent to an ASP server, eventually getting them to a page for that specific car.

Thanks in advance,
Hayden]]>

light up div on page load once per refresh?

VeggiesanTaters — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:36:29 -0800

Does anyone know how I could do this? I figured it would have something to do with onload and a javascript function.

code:



#title {
background:#ffc;
border: 1px dotted #CCCCCC;
padding:12px 1px 6px 1px;
margin-top:0px;
width: 370px;
 margin-left: auto ;
  margin-right: auto ;
}



#title {
background:#E8E8E8;
border: 1px dotted #CCCCCC;
padding:12px 1px 6px 1px;
margin-top:0px;
width: 370px;
 margin-left: auto ;
  margin-right: auto ;
}

Help With Redirecting Using htaccess File!

Steve[D] — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:19:20 -0800

I currently have four links to my forum as listed below:

code:

http://mysite .com/forum/
http://mysite .com/forum/index.php
http://www.mysite .com/forum/
http://www.mysite .com/forum/index.php

Ive heard that Google can mistake these for 4 different websites which can lead to split results and poor ranking. So how can I edit my .htaccess file so that each of the above redirects to just one;

code:

http://www.mysite .com/forum/

Im using vbulletin, if that makes any difference.

Many Thanks,
Steve. ]]>

c++ directX. Refusing to compile

Bozebo — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 08:12:59 -0800

nice directX tutorial for a while. I have been able to get everything to work up until the point it uses the windowsx.h and d3dx9.h header files.
(I am using dev c++)

Weirdly, it seems to think there are errors in the header files:

QUOTE:

"5 C:Dev-Cppincludedxd3dx9.h:46, from main.cpp In file included from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/dx/d3dx9.h:46, from main.cpp "

"46 C:Dev-Cppincludedxd3d9.h:290, from C:Dev-Cppincludedxd3dx9.h In file included from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/dx/d3d9.h:290, from C:/Dev-Cpp/include/dx/d3dx9.h "

"51 C:Dev-Cppincludedxd3d9types.h redefinition of struct _D3DVECTOR "

(there are hundreds of similar errors)

Here is my code (though I am certain it is fine):

Is this a known issue when programming DX with dev c++? I managed to set it up alright originally.]]>

PHP register_shutdown_function alternative

joebert — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:42:24 -0800

register_shutdown_function and worry about whether something Im not even sure I read a few years ago about some servers having problems with that function is even the way it is.

In any event, the __destruct magic method counterpart to __construct is easier to use than register_shutdown_function anyways, if you ask me. The thing that kinda sucks though, is that the use of __destruct requires you to have references to the constructed objects lingering around until the end of the scripts execution.

You can use a static array within the class to save these references though.

Anywho, heres an example. I use this to store references to cached HTML files that need to be deleted.

code:


class garbage
{
	protected static $can = array();
	public static function collect($mask)
	{
		array_push(garbage::$can, new garbage($mask));
	}
	
	private $mask;
	public function __construct($mask)
	{
		$this->mask = $mask;
	}
	public function __destruct()
	{
		file_utils::glob_delete($this->mask);
	}
}

[SOLVED] PHP each, next, prev, etc...

PolishHurricane — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 05:51:55 -0800

I ended up making an iterator function that looks like this:

php:

public function iterate()
{
 if(each($this->data[fruits]) !== FALSE)
 {
 return TRUE;
 }
 else
 {
 reset($this->data[fruits]);
 return FALSE;
 }
}
?>

Then to gather the current element so I can use the data in any function within the loop, I wrote a function like this:

php:

public function current_fruit()
{
$fruit_array = prev($this->data[fruits]);
next($this->data[fruits]);
return $fruit_array;
}
?>

And during each iteration current_fruit() can be called multiple times. It works, until the set of fruits, I dont get any data. Now the problem is, the loop properly makes enough iterations, but the last element has no data. I realize the each() function sends the pointer temporarily off the end of the array on the last iteration, but prev() should re-point it to the last element, right?]]>
