Peace Layth

Send me the more details. I will look at the problem. You can also have my business email address from Wakas.

PS Try to enter the required fields for testing purpose. Look like Post back action is not working at all.

I viewed your source code about members page. It seems either submit button action is missing or e-mail server is not completing action requested by SUBMIT button. When a visitor clicks a submit button, the form is sent to the address specified in the action setting of the <form> tag.

<input type="text"
name="City" size="30"></p>
<form method="POST" action="--WEBBOT-SELF--" name="Members">
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p align="center">
<button name="B1" value="submit">Submit</button></p>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</blockquote>
</form>
<div align="left"><p> &</p>
</div><div align="left"><p> </p>

I really am not familair what is going on here with WEBBOT-Self. Is this works same as SQL Insert statement? Where is this database MEMBERS resides?

TurkishMan how you get into the source. Is this not protected.

nadeem

Hi KGB!

WEBBOT is simply tags used by frontpage.

You can see the source by click right-click "View source". The source is not protected usually, unless you want it to be. In that case, people use encryption software.

If you collect data via a web form,

a. you save result in text file on the server (file needs to be read-write)
b. you can e-mail data to certain e-mail address (need an SMTP server)
c. you can store result to a database such as MySQL database

it seems that you are trying to use option a and b.

Layth I think it will be easier if you use PHP Form Wizard is a powerful tool that creates a PHP script to process any web form, it makes all necessary validation, to check that your visitor had filled all values correctly, it can handle File uploads, send email to form owner with all fields data whenever the form is successfully processed and a personalized confirmation email to your visitor (auto responder) and store form data in a text file or in a MySQL database

You can download a demo version from following link to use it.

Peace Turk,

I trying fixing the button, but I still get the http//www.free-minds.org/--WEBBOT-SELF-- when I try to run the form.

As for the php form, I downloaded the demo but could not work out how to create the form for the page I wanted.

KGB

Never worked PHP form Wizard. Downloaded to check how it work.

Uninstalled. Did not like this.

nadeem

Hi Layth,

My guess was right, your server DOES NOT have frontpage extensions installed any more.

Go to this url http//www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm

And type in free-minds.org
WWW Site www.free-minds.org
Port 80
Server Software Apache/2.0.46 (CentOS)
FrontPage Extensions NO

Good news however, the data is stored the way I wanted it, It can be transfered over to a new form program -)

Nadeem.
