Form

[coolgames]

Hey, everything with the code works perfectly but 1 thing.... when a player submits something, the data goes trough but,

the value='$note1' << doesn't seem to work... the form is just blank. Is there anyway i can make the data in $note1 appear?

[HTML]
rawoutput("<textarea name='note1' rows='10' cols='60' class='input' value='$note1'></textarea>");
rawoutput("<input type='submit' class='button' value='".translate_inline("Send")."'></form>");
[/HTML]

There is no such attribute as 'value' for <textarea>. To get it to appear, it needs to be between the element tags.

o.o; was i stupid .... you are correct (= i placed $name between my element tags and it worked perfectly :P 1 more problem though

When a user submits this form, i want him to be taken to 'mail.php' and i tried redirects and stuff but none of them seem to work. How can i re-direct once a user hits the Submit button?

[HTML] rawoutput("<form action='runmodule.php?module=mailnotepad&op=write' method='POST'>");
output("`)TESTING `0");
rawoutput("<br><textarea name='note1' rows='7' cols='60' class='input'> $note1 </textarea>");
rawoutput("<input type='submit' class='button' value='".translate_inline("Submit!")."'></form>");
rawoutput("</form>");

you could try this, but this is done in PHP.
[PHP]
<?php
// send email
$success = mail($EmailTo, $Subject, $Body, "From: <$EmailFrom>"); //this will change to your specs.
// redirect to success page
if ($success){
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=thankscontact.htm\">";//this will change to your specs.
}
else{
print "<meta http-equiv=\"refresh\" content=\"0;URL=error.htm\">";
}
?>

Nope, that won't work at all since i am not doing this on a blank php/html page. The info and stuff will be stored in a Database, etc... it's for a core engine and that's how it should be done.

Thanks though
