Submitted by 192.168.0.1

the elements name, email, and locations showed up ok when i received the email. but the others (e.g. totaldays, days_hrs, etc...) didn't. they're still on the parenthesis. what did i do wrong?

by the way, here is what's in the autogenerated tab:


<?php
global $database;
$database->setQuery( "INSERT INTO #__chronoforms_1 VALUES (
'' , '". date('Y-m-d')." - ".date("H:i:s")."' , '".$_POST['name']."' , '".$_POST['email']."' , '".$_POST['location']."' , '".$_POST['supervisor']."' , '".$_POST['days_hrs']."' , '".$_POST['Submit']."');" );
if (!$database->query()) {
echo "<script> alert('".$database->getErrorMsg()."'); window.history.go(-1); </script>
";
}
?>

Hi,

Iam not sure what the problem is but lets try those and see :

#1- at ur HTML code, plz make all ur elements names lowercase.

#2- elements names should NOT contain any spaces, instead replace it with _

Let us know the reults

Max

thanks! ur suggestion worked!

i have another question under "Email" and "Supervisor". on email, they can type in their email address. when they select supervisor, i can have the "value" of the supervisor as the supervisor's email. how can this form be sent to those email addresses, "email" and "supervisor" field? can this be done? thanks again!

at the "emailfield" at the backend, type "email" OR "supervisor", this means that the form can be emailed to ONLY 1 of those fields values but not the 2, sorry.

however u can chronocontact.php, change this line :

if(trim($paramsvalues->emailfield) != ""«»){ $recipient = $_POST[$paramsvalues->emailfield]; mosMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body, true, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); }

to :

if(trim($paramsvalues->emailfield) != ""«»){ $recipients = explode(",",$_POST[$paramsvalues->emailfield]); foreach($recipients as $recipient){ mosMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body, true, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); } }

then u can add the "emailfield" : email,supervisor

Plz let me know how it will work.

Cheers

thanks but i still don't get the email when i put "email,supervisor" under emailfield.

help?

Hi,

After writing a long and mostly incorrect e-mail I think I've spotted a problem. Max suggested if(trim($paramsvalues->emailfield) != ""«»){ $recipients = explode(",",$_POST[$paramsvalues->emailfield]); foreach($recipients as $recipient){ mosMail($from, $fromname, $recipient, $subject, $body, true, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); } }

I think this has the $_POST in the wrong place. Try
if ( trim($paramsvalues->emailfield) != "" ) { $recipients = explode(",", $paramsvalues->emailfield); foreach ($recipients as $recipient) { mosMail($from, $fromname, $_POST[$recipient], $subject, $body, true, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL ); } }

Bob

it works! thanks bob!
