Hi...

I've installed this script on my testing server and straight out of the box the checkboxes don't return any values. Everything else seems to be working perfectly. Any ideas?

The only modifications I had to do to the script was add a $global_vars array for DOCUMENT_ROOT so that the script will work with my server. But like I said, everything else works fine.

Let me know what you think could be the problem.

Thanks..

how did you config the checkboxes in the xml file?

Code:

<item caption="Gender" name="gender" type="checkbox" attr="{Male}{Female}" mandatory="*" error="Please choose your gender" />

Also, I originally uploaded everything with the demo xml intact which used:

Code:

<item caption="Interests" name="interests1" type="checkbox" attr="{Fishing}{Cars &amp; Bikes|cars}{Music|music/sounds}{Cultures}" mandatory="*" error="Please choose at least one interest" />
    <item caption="Interests 2" name="interests2" type="multiselect" attr="{Fishing}{Cars &amp; Bikes|cars}{Music|music/sounds}{Cultures}" mandatory="*" error="Please choose at least one interest 2" />

I also realized that the multiselect isn't returning values either and it uses the same xml that came with the script. I wonder what's wrong?

Thanks for your reply.

hmm - on my tryout installation on this site everything works fine. What server is your script running on?

Yeah I noticed that yours works fine. On MY installation I even uncommented the lines so that it would echo the values of all the fields after submitting the form and the checkbox fields and multiselect fields did not return any values. It is very strange. I'm hosting at mosso.com on a "cloud" server. That's why I had to set a global variable for document_root for the form to find the correct path in the first place.

The server is running PHP 5 Linux / Apache. Like I said, everything else with the script works perfectly.

Any other questions you can ask to help identify what the problem could be?

Thanks!

the output of

Code:

print_r($_REQUEST);

shows absolutely nothing?

The output of that code works as it should. Starting with Array ([nameOfField.. and it shows the value of each field until it gets to the checkbox it outputs this: [gender] => Array ..and then goes on to show the next fields with their values.

Ideas?

admin · 18-08-2008 21:20:06

can you quickly post that output?

itsmejason · 18-08-2008 21:53:46

Of course this is a fake entry testing the script:

Code:

Array ( [stateHarvest] => Georgia [dateHarvest] => 8-18-08 [timeHarvest] => 1pm [timeRecovery] => 2pm [name] => Somebody [address] => P.O. Box [cityStateZip] => Somewhere, GA, 301xx [phone] => 404-xxx-xxxx [email]=> jason@xxxxxxxx.com [weapon] => Gun [age] => 28 [gender] => Array [request] => Some words go here. [huntDescription] => More words go in here, but it's limited chars. [hash] => drry [Submit] => Send [do] => send [X-Mapping-caklakng] => 1C961DB03B3E3A19742448693D93B12A [PHPSESSID] => 51241fac1007c5bc5e3ab3caf712b9cb )

All field type are "line" except for "Gender" which is the only checkbox. As you can see it returns a value of "Array" which shows up blank in the email.

Thanks for spending time helping me with this.

admin · 18-08-2008 22:04:42

this is strange, i don't get it why it doesn't loop through the nested array...
i'm afraid that i cannot help in this matter right now... maybe somebody else has any good idea?

itsmejason · 18-08-2008 22:45:28

I don't know much about php at all but would have anything to do in these lines of code from formpro.php?

Code:

// kill ' if magic quotes on
                if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1){
                    $_REQUEST[$field[1]] = stripslashes($_REQUEST[$field[1]]);
                }
                
                if ($field[3] == "email"){
                    $message .= "mailto:".$_REQUEST[$field[1]];
                    $mail->From = $_REQUEST[$field[1]];
                }else if ($field[2] == "checkbox" || $field[2] == "multiselect"){
                    $multi = "";
                    foreach ($_REQUEST[$field[1]] as $val){
                        $divider = ($multi != "") ? ", " : "";
                        $multi .= (isset($val) && $val != "") ? $divider.$val : "";
                    }
                    $message .= $multi;            
                }else{
                    $message .= $_REQUEST[$field[1]];
                }
            }
            $message .= "  ";
        }
        $message .= "\n  ";

I didn't change a thing from the original. Does everything look correct?

admin · 18-08-2008 22:50:30

right! it could be a problem with the stripslashes() func - try to replace lines 200-203 in formpro.php by these lines:

Code:

// kill ' if magic quotes on
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1 && in_array($field[2], array("checkbox", "multiselect")) === false){
    $_REQUEST[$field[1]] = stripslashes($_REQUEST[$field[1]]);
}

any success?

admin · 18-08-2008 23:04:00

or even better, replace it by:

Code:

// kill ' if magic quotes on
if (get_magic_quotes_gpc() == 1){
    if (is_array($_REQUEST[$field[1]])){
        $tmp = array();
        foreach ($_REQUEST[$field[1]] as $key => $val){
            $tmp[$key] = stripslashes($val);
        }
        $_REQUEST[$field[1]] = $tmp;            
    }else{
        $_REQUEST[$field[1]] = stripslashes($_REQUEST[$field[1]]);
    }
}

You're BRILLIANT! Replacing that bit of code worked! Thanks so much for spending the time to help me work this out. I really appreciate it.
