Re: My form do not work

Julia....

1) Please watch the the form tutorials 3 times.
2) Please use the PHP code provided in the form tutorials...

If you do not feel comfortable with the above. Please consider
using Soholaunch to build your website. Soho has a built in form
generator.

Hi Julia,

a few comments:

1. The name fiels and the organisation field have the same name, T1. Change them in "Nombre" e "Organizacion" .No accent please over the "o".
2. The "No pertenezco a ninguna organización " Radio Button and the "Necesito información " radio button have the same name., "contactos from ctc". Change them in "Organizacion" and "information" and put rispectively values "si" and "si" , so when they click on the buttons you will receive f.e. "No pertenezco a ninguna organización: si " and "Necesito informacion : si". Make them "selected" by default.
3. Your third Radio Button has no name at all, name it "Partecipacion" and put value "si". Make it by default "not selected". They will have to click on it to express their interest to partecipy.
4. Change the email field name in "email" it now is "mail". You can leave it as it is, but most of the ready scripts need "email" to work.
5. Change the form action in"confirmacion.php" . As it is now it does nothing. . It doesn't even have the "mailto:" .
6. The "Como encontró nuestra pagina " dropdown list has to be larger. Select it and make it wider.
7. Build your Thankyou or Confirmation page in Bluevoda, as you like it. Just worry about the visual part, don't do anything about the script.

When you're done, publish the pages - both the form page and the Thankyou page. Let me know the URLs of your pages. I'll provide you with the necessary"confirmacion.php" file and you will just have to upload it. Please also let me know your email address on your vodahost account. I have to insert that in the script.

Hi Julia,

Let me explain something to you deamonox,

what you have created is the form page. You have put in the form action field "contact.php". This means that when you click on "submit" , the code in this page calls another page, the "contact.php" page. It is this page that should contain the piece of code necessary to receive the info from your form and then create an email to be sent to you. You obviously have not yet created this php page and that's why you get a 404 Page not found Error . If you watch tutorial #1 carefully, you will see that under it, in red, there is a Read Me! This is where all this is explained. So follow exactly those instructions and create your php page. If you have difficulties after that or you want to change or improve your form with validation etc, post again and i'll be happy to help.

Hi Julia,

here is the script and the necessary instructions:

<?php
// Receiving variables from the form
@$organizacion = addslashes($_POST['organizacion']);
@$informacion = addslashes($_POST['informacion']);
@$como_nos_encontró = addslashes($_POST['como_nos_encontró']);
@$comentarios = addslashes($_POST['comentarios']);
@$participacion = addslashes($_POST['participacion']);
@$email = addslashes($_POST['email']);
@$nombre = addslashes($_POST['nombre']);

//Sending info to form owner
$pfw_header = "From: $email\n"
. "Reply-To: $email\n";
$pfw_subject = "Information from Contact Form"; // Change the subject if you like
$pfw_email_to = "put your exact email on your vodahost account here";
$pfw_message = "organizacion: $organizacion\n"
. "informacion: $informacion\n"
. "como_nos_encontró: $como_nos_encontró\n"
. "comentarios: $comentarios\n"
. "participacion: $participacion\n"
. "email: $email\n"
. "nombre: $nombre\n";
*****($pfw_email_to, $pfw_subject ,$pfw_message ,$pfw_header ) ;
header("Location: http://www.tctinternacional.org/gracias_por_contactar.html");
?>


1. Copy this code and paste it in Notepad.
2. You should put your exact email address (the one on your Voda account)
3. Change the Subject line if you like
4. In Notepad, choose "Save as", select File type "All files", and save the file as "confirmacion.php".
5. Upload the saved file on your server, on the same folder where your contact page is. Use BlueFTP to do this.

Julia, I've given you these instructions so that others can also see what's the procedure. You don't really need to do all this, because I've emailed you the ready - finished file, including your email address. Just do the uploading on the server. Test the form and let me know.
