UE307 and waDBsearch

UE307 and waDBsearch

When using dbsearch the page that receives the results of the search.. if I place a send button on it that triggers UE, will I then be able to use the loop function referencing that db search result to send mail ONLY to the people in the results.

The reason I ask is because dbsearch is a little confusing.. I place a recordset on the page then the wizard places the search info on that page in a repeat region I made.

The result had 8 records out of 350.. I don't want UE to send to all 350

I wasn't sure if this should be posted to the dbsearch area or here so If it needs to be asked there I'll move it.
Thanks

make sure that the search form is crated using the GET Method so the search criteria are sent using the query string.


Then on the results page create the send button in a form that uses the post method, but whose action will send the currant query string:

php:
<form name="form2" method="post"  action="<?php echo $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]; ?><?php echo (isset($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]) && $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "")?"?".$_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]:""?>">

  <input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit">
</form>




This will cause trigger the email to send. The recordset results will be limited to the search criteria so will only send the 8 emails.

originally dbsearch set the form up as a post, I changed it to a get then added the php script on the result page. But it then sent all the emails. I put it back as beforE and it just sent the emails that were selected by the search

Yeah, if it was originally set up as a post, changing the form method will break things. After changing the form method you need to change the re bind the form in the serch to change the code from using the POST collection to using the GET collection. but if it is working for you, now, that is good.
