passing from varibles

cdennste

I have a form in which i send info to a preview pane and say is this what you want to send.

What i need to be able to do is to pass the same info then on to another page that says this message was just sent...

This is the code after they fill out the form....

Any Idea's would be great...

<?PHP
// check for the array
$i=0;
$to = "";
while($i<count($address)){
//print $address[$i];
//print "; ";
$to .= "$address[$i], ";
$i=$i+1;

}
//echo( $to ); // this is the variable that is goign to get passed to the mail command.
//echo("<br>");

//This hopefully works now
//make sure every field is filled in:
if($issue=="" || $impact=="" || $starttime=="" || $endtime=="" || $workaround=="" || $resolution=="" || $ticket=="" || $contact=="") {
header("Location:http://MAGICSERVER/webstuff/extranet-notification.php?err=1");
}
else{
//may want to redirect back to form here

//start building html mail note
$message = "";
$message .= "
<html>
<head>
<title>S3 Outage Notification</title>
</head>
<body>
<table align=center bgcolor=\"#FFFFFF\" width=\"600\" border=\"0\">

//may want to change this incase there is an alternate contact.

You can set hidden fields to the values of the information you want to pass along again:

or instead of clicking submit make a dynamic link to the mail sending page:

-D

cdennste

Can't be hidden value's because people have to input text into the feilds which then has to be passed on...

Thanks though

Cogen

Do the same thing that dawson1323 mentioned, but don't make them hidden if you want the user to be able to change the value.

type="text" /or whatever

instead of

type = "hidden"

cdennste

I have the form passing data to the above code once the code above runs in need to then send that info onto another script.

Need to pass the info from the form to a preview then to a send mail...

dawson1323

So then use this:

form is filled out
when submitted opens the page that displays what will be sent
make a link at the bottom of the form that looks like this:

This will pass the variable to the page that sends the e-mail.

-D

dawson1323

FROM YOUR CODE ABOVE:

TRY IT LIKE THIS:

-D

cdennste

that would work but what kind of code do i need on that page now?

Something like this?

<?PHP
// check for the array
$i=0;
$to = "";
while($i<count($address)){
//print $address[$i];
//print "; ";
$to .= "$address[$i], ";
$i=$i+1;

}

</html>";
//may want to change this incase there is an alternate contact.
echo("<font size=\"+2\" color=\"Blue\"><div align=\"center\">Message Was sent Successfully</div></font> <p>");
echo($message);
/ To send HTML mail, you can set the Content-type header. /
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1\r\n";
/ additional headers /
$headers .= "From: Extranet Communication <USA.Extranet.Service.Desk@mc.usa.xerox.com>\r\n";
$headers .= "Bcc: ";
$headers .= $to;
/ and now mail it /
mail("", $subject, $message, $headers);

-D [/B]

Won't that only pass the $to variable? What about all the other information?

Here is the first Form code:

Here is the Code being passed to the first display:

<?PHP
// check for the array
$i=0;
$to = "";
while($i<count($address)){
//print $address[$i];
//print "; ";
$to .= "$address[$i], ";
$i=$i+1;

}
//echo( $to ); // this is the variable that is goign to get passed to the mail command.
//echo("<br>");

//This hopefully works now
//make sure every field is filled in:
if($issue=="" || $impact=="" || $starttime=="" || $endtime=="" || $workaround=="" || $resolution=="" || $ticket=="" || $contact=="") {
header("Location:[url]http://magic server/webstuff/extranet-notification.php?err=1[/url]");
}
else{
//may want to redirect back to form here

//start building html mail note

Maybe I'm not understanding properly, and if so I'm sorry. This is what I would do ...
I've condensed it for easier reading, but this is the way it would work in your case also, except with more variables.

FIRST PAGE:

<form action="s3notification.php" Method="POST">
Issue:<br>
<input type="Text" name="issue" size="100" maxlength="300">
<br>
<input type="submit" value=" Preview Notification ">
<input type="RESET" value="Clear Form">
</form>

S3notification.php

Issue: $issue
<form action="s3notification2.php" Method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="issue" value="$issue">
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
<input type="submit" value="Cancel">
</form>

S3notification2.php

If you use that method with all your information variables, this page will have all variables passed to it ($issue in this case), so just create and send the mail.

Obviously there are things missing from that example, but it should give you the general structure of how to do it (atleast how I would do it).

cdennste

I have this in the First Form

I have this in the second preview page...

<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"testtest\" value=\"$testtest\">$testtest

Then just $testtest in the last one but still brings the form up blank and doesnt send anything because its not bring the first drop down menu selection (the DL) through with the other varibles...

thanks

For all the help..

cdennste

anyone?

cdennste
