PHP based CGI script, Can someone explain this in English? Options

[SalesOPs-Isaac]

Hello,

So long story short I am trying to edit the config file for a CGI that is written in PHP.

BUT I am unsure what I should put in for the variables, the email addresses were simple enough, but this part I am unsure about:

CODE

*    Prefix to identify the REQUESTED FIELDS. You can change this prefix. To be a field required put this prefix beside the input name.
*    ex. I want the field "email" to be mandatory. I call it "_rrr_email". <input type="text" name="_rrr_email">. This prefix will be automatically removed by the program, therefore think to the
*    input name without the prefix configuring the rest of this file.
**/

    $reqTag = "_rrr_";
    

/**
*    Specify the name of a field in the form for sender's email address. Ex. if the form contains <input type=text name=emailaddress> you should set "emailaddress" the field below
**/

    $emailField = "email";


/**
*    Specify the name of a field in the form for sender's email body. Ex. if the form contains <input type=hidden name=tipomodulo value=new_proposals> you should set "new_proposte" as below.
*    This value will be shown in the email body with the "body" ($oggetto) specified previously. If you want to see as body only this field, please delete $oggetto
**/
    
    $subjectField = "";


/**
*    Specify one or more fields to use as sender name.
*    Ex. if in the form i use <input type=text name=name> and <input type=text name=surname> you should define "name" and "surname" as below.
*    Please use a , between each setting and remeber to use " "
**/

    $senderNames = "Firstname, Lastname";


/**
*    If this option is set to 1, the confirmation page will show all the data inserted. If set to 0 it will print only the confirmation message without the data
**/

    $mostraInputinConferma = 1;

The HTML file has 2 small text fields and a submit button, that are supposed to email the entered information within the text fields to a series of emails addresses with a specific text.

CODE

<tr>
<td>
<font color="Yellow"><strong>Text Field 0</strong></font>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="Text Field 0" id="Text Field 0" size="10" value="" />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td valign="top">
<font color="White"><strong>Text Field 1</strong></font>
</td>
<td valign="top">
<input type="text" name="Text Field 1" id="Text Field 1" size="10" value="" />
</td>
</tr>

<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center">
<input type="submit" value=" Submit Form " />
</td>
</tr>

So something like:

CODE

From: from@****.com
To: to@****.com
Subject: test0

This is text

Text field 0: 01234
Text Field 1: 56789

$reqTag = "_rrr_";

Ok this setting would be used if you want any of the fields to be mandatory such as the email address of the sender or the text feild like so

$reqTag = "_rrr_Text Field 0";
$reqTag = "_rrr_Text Field 1";

/**
* Specify the name of a field in the form for sender's email address. Ex. if the form contains <input type=text name=emailaddress> you should set "emailaddress" the field below
**/

$emailField = "email";

This would be the senders email address which would fill in the from adress. Which could also be a required field like so.
$emailField = "_rrr_email";

/**
* Specify the name of a field in the form for sender's email body. Ex. if the form contains <input type=hidden name=tipomodulo value=new_proposals> you should set "new_proposte" as below.
* This value will be shown in the email body with the "body" ($oggetto) specified previously. If you want to see as body only this field, please delete $oggetto
**/

$subjectField = "";

This of course is the subject field in the email which can be what ever you wish such as data form
subjectField = "Data Form";

/**
* Specify one or more fields to use as sender name.
* Ex. if in the form i use <input type=text name=name> and <input type=text name=surname> you should define "name" and "surname" as below.
* Please use a , between each setting and remeber to use " "
**/

$senderNames = "Firstname, Lastname";

This of course would be used only if you wanted to collect the names on the form.

/**
* If this option is set to 1, the confirmation page will show all the data inserted. If set to 0 it will print only the confirmation message without the data
**/

$mostraInputinConferma = 1;

You would only need to set this to 1 if you want the sucess page to print out all the information that was entered on the form, if you would just like a sucess page to show up then just set this to 0.

Now the one thing that was not covered were the Text Fields that you are trying to collect I guess seeing how that question was not asked you have already figured that part out.

Hope this helps .........
