What To Do After Making A Submit Button

3 New Member

Hi all, this is my first time ever using PHP, and I am still very new to programming in general. I'm doing an assignment for my Media E-Commerce class where the code for a survey is all provided. It first asks the user to provide their first and last name in two text boxes, and then has three separate tables where the user can choose a rating from 1 to 5 in radio buttons. Then, once they are done, they click the submit button. From there, a new table is supposed to come up I'm assuming on a new page that is separated into two columns (rating and count) with the answers that the user submitted in the survey, which is basically my assignment to complete.

I've been reading many tutorials and forums all day trying to figure this out, but since I have very limited programming knowledge in general, I'm having quite a hard time with this even though I've seen similar posts where responses say this type of thing is not difficult at all to complete. However, I still cannot figure it out. Any help given will be much appreciated. Thanks a lot.

This is the code of the survey

Hi.

This is a code that uses html forms and php to send an email.
I thought it might help you do your assignment.

Note. Both html and php should be in the same .php file
[HTML]
<form name="MyForm" method="post" action="">
<table width="400" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" >
<tr>
<td width="50%" align="right">F rom : </td>
<td><input name="From" type="text" size="30" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">T o : </td>
<td><input name="To" type="text" size="30" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">S ubject : </td>
<td><input name="Subject" type="text" size="30" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="right">M essage : </td>
<td><textarea name="Message" cols="30" rows="7"></textarea></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">

<input name="MySubmit" type="submit" value="Send" />
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</form>
[/HTML]
[PHP]
<?php
// Find if the form has been posted
// by checking if the button 'MySubmit'
// has a value.
if(isset($_POST['MySubmit']))
{
// Get the other information
// using the $_POST array
// to read the information you
// posted in your form
$From = $_POST['From'];
$To = $_POST['To'];
$Subject = $_POST['Subject'];
$Msg = $_POST['Message'];

// Set up Email headers
$headers = 'From: '. $From;

// Send email and check if it was sent
if(mail($To, $Subject, $Msg, $headers))
{
echo "<p align='center'> Your email has been sent </p>";
}
else
{
echo "<p align='center'> An error accured while sending your email </p>";
}
}
?>[/PHP]

Sorry about that. I will read the guidelines now. I wasn't even aware you could do that with the code, but thanks for editing for me anyway.

Hi.

Thank you very much. I have a feeling this example will help me a lot, not just on this assignment, but in PHP overall in general.

cant figure out what is causes server-side validation

by: AFN | last post by:

I was just dropped into someone else's code (isn't that always so fun?). I can't figure out why a custom validation control's server event function is executing. There is nothing (that I see) in page_load, or elsewhere, that says page.validate, no control says "causesvalidation=true", and the AutoEventWireup is set to false. So I would think that the control's server event function would NOT execute, but it does execute right after...
