Cannot get php form to email

Cannot get php form to email

I am using data bridge, and have created a new form and just want the form contents emailed to me.

I have tested the php email event using a little php script:
train-station.com/samplemail.php and I successfully receive the emails so the php path and configuration to sendmail seem to be working ok.

I have created a form called :
train-station.com/Sell2.php that form seems to be working exactly as I want it to but no matter how I configure the Form Function tab, no email is sent. I have found the documentation isn't helping me.

I have also attached the simple files in a zip.

What version of Data Bridge are you using?

Make sure you have version 1.1.3 installed, if you have a previous version, uninstall it from the extension manager and install the newer version.

once you install the 1.1.3 version, delete the following files from your site:
webassist/progress_bar/jquery-blockui-formprocessing.js
webassist/email/mail_php.php
webassist/email/mailformatting_php.php

the go to the server behaviors panel, double click the universal email server behavior and set the Go To page to redirect to another page after sending the email.

make sure to upload the newer versions of the files that where deleted. if you continue to have a problem, please send a copy of the webassist/email/waue_Sell2_2.php file

Fixed!

That seems to have solved the problem(deleting the old files). Now I'll check out how to edit the email templates and we'll be good to go.

on the data bridge support page, see the "Customize the elements in your form-generated emails" tutorial for details on editing the email template:

Almost there

Thanks, It's all done.

The comments field doesnt wrap like I would expect a text field to. is there a php code piece I'm missing to tell that field to wrap, rather than it just wrapping in the middle of words etc.

in the email template file, try editing the style.

change:

<td style="font-size: 12px; padding: 3px;"><?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",(is_array($pval)?implode(", ",$pval):$pval))); ?></td>


to:
<td style="font-size: 12px; padding: 3px;white-space:pre-wrap;"><?php echo(str_replace("\n","<BR />",(is_array($pval)?implode(", ",$pval):$pval))); ?></td>

Text Still not wrapping

The text in the comments field is still not wrapping properly. Any other thoughts?

ok, so it's in the form that the problem happens not the email itself...


in the webassist/forms/fd_newfromblank_default.css file edit the following css:


form.NewFromBlank_Default textarea.formTextarea_Medium {
background-color:#FFF;
padding:5px 5px 5px 5px;
width:382px;
height:150px;
white-space:pre;
overflow:auto;
margin:0;
margin-left:2px;
}




to:

form.NewFromBlank_Default textarea.formTextarea_Medium {
background-color:#FFF;
padding:5px 5px 5px 5px;
width:382px;
height:150px;
white-space:pre-wrap;
overflow:auto;
margin:0;
margin-left:2px;
}
