Contact Form not sending to the user
I checked the forum for solution but I don't think there is one.
I tested by sending the form as a user - the user received the form notification, but the user wouldn't know whether the owner got the form submission -- no email was sent to the owner.
I wonder if I need to modify code for the owner to be able to get email once the form is sent? $targetAddress="owner's email address" - I assume that it is for "from email" to be seen in the email.
Help will be appreciated.
thanks

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
dreamlex,
Just to clarify your question:
1. Webmaster sets up ContactForm
2. User fills out ContactForm
3. Webmaster gets email
4. User gets "Thank you" message
Correct?
Now, if I am reading your question right, you want:
5. User gets copy of sent email.
Is this what you are asking for?

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
This *should* work. Find the following code and edit in the bold:
if ($field[3] == "email"){
$message .= "mailto:".$_REQUEST[$field[1]];
$fromAddress = "From: ".$_REQUEST[$field[1]];
$fromAddress.= "CC: ".$_REQUEST[$field[1]];
}else if ($field[2] == "checkbox" || $field[2] == "multiselect"){

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
thanks for the solution. I am sorry that I checked the forum late.
One more thing - I would like to have the user click the submit button ("print") and the new window will pop up with the data that the user fills the form out so that the user could print it out.
is it possible?

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
dreamlex,
Did you want the "print" popup to appear when they submit the email? Or would you rather have them submit, the "Thank You" message appear with what they emailed and a "Print" button on this page that pops up a clean version for printing?
Just curious. Let me know.

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
The latter is what I want.
But - the former one -
I wonder if the "print" popup appear when they submit the email - will the user and owner still receive the emails? I think this version is short and better?
All the users need is to submit the form and the page in new window should have the data from what they input in the form and they print.
Is it possible to make one?

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
dreamlex,
It is possible. I would recommend the latter. That way, the user doesn't accidentally send the email multiple times if the popup gets blocked and they don't notice.
It'll take me just a little bit to code up what you want (it will probably take a separate file called '/forum/print.html' to do what you would like it to do).
I'll let you know what I come up with.

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
just wonder how it is going? Is it going to be completed soon? I am looking forward to have it work with print.php.

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
dreamlex,
Sorry, I've been swamped lately. I'll try to get to this soon (unless you wanted to try it yourself). Basically, just create a hidden input with the $message variable, have a submit button to open in a new window pointing to print.php. Then print.php echos the submitted form post variables with a javascript window.onload to force an automatic print.

Re: Contact Form not sending to the user
dreamlex,
I finally was able to scrape together some time to get this coded for you.
In '/forum/contact_1.5.html' add the following code below the echo $txtThankyou; code:
Code:
echo $txtThankyou; echo "\n<br/>\n<strong>You Wrote:</strong><br/>\n-----------------------------------<br/>\n".nl2br(stripslashes($message))."<br/>\n-----------------------------------<br/>\n"; echo "\n<form name=\"contact_print\" action=\"print.php\" method=\"post\" target=\"_blank\">\n"; echo "<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"contact_message\" value=\"".urlencode($message)."\" />\n"; echo "<input type=\"submit\" name=\"print_button\" value=\"Print\" />\n"; echo "</form>";
Then, create a new file called '/forum/print.html' and place the following code in that file:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Contact Form Print</title> </head> <body onload="window.print();"> <a href="print.php" onclick="window.print();return false;">Print this</a> <hr/><br/> <?php echo nl2br(stripslashes(urldecode($_POST['contact_message']))); ?> <br/><br/><hr/> </body> </html>
That should do it for you!
