  4. PHP mail using OOP

    in PHP

    Posted

    Well I got this to work.

    First this is modifying a procedural PHP script that I found some time ago with a OPPs PHP tutorial that I saw maby a week ago and stuffing the procedural script into the OOP version.

    I tested in my developing environment and I can send emails from my home machine and then the emails are redirected back to my mail box. I don?t see why it won?t work on my site but I will put it up there tomorrow and check.

    The routine required me to create an account that I left in place so that it reads better where the username email and passwords go.

    There are two files. The style sheet is not enclosed in this email but if you ignore the HTML you should be able to follow the flow of the contact form that collects the information is sent to a second file that checks some parameters and concatenates others and sends the file. It?s not a big deal if you know PHP, but I don?t.

    One more thing I just realized that I did not mention the second file needs presentation, I did not put that in yet.

    contactform.php

    Monkeysaurus:

    I will post this soon. I am almost there. I finally got mail to come to me but the contents are not what I thought I was sending and I don't know how to work the PHP debugger in this system so it's taking a while.

    Benjamin:

    Thanks for responding. You are probably correct in saying that I will not find exactly what I am looking for since I searched the web this morning for the tutorial or file that I wrote about here. I took a look at Stefan video last night. I am well experienced in the OOPs world having coded in C++ and Java for far too many years. The web is new to me and in my PHP code that I wrote to exercise my knowledge in PHP OPP still has a few glitches that I cant resolve and can?t find an answer in the PHP mail package documentation, so I thought I would give it a try here since you folks have been REALLY helpful to me. If you have any pull with Stefan ask him to stop what he is doing and jump to a tutorial on PHP OOPs contact form.

    Thanks!

    Posted

    I am looking for a PHP tutorial or a script to write a small email contact form in OOP not the procedural method. I would like to use the mail server connected to my hosting services as opposed to sending it through Google. As anyone seen this?

    Thanks!

  15. Bordered text

    in CSS

    Posted

    In my test definition of

    tag, I placed the following code, to exagerate the effect, but nothing was visible.

        
border-left: 5px;
border-left-color: rgb(255,0,0);
border-right: 5px;
border-right-color: rgb(0,0,255);

    Should this not place a border on both sides of the text?

  16. Bordered text

    in CSS

    Posted

    I am researching with out success, to find a CSS text attribute that produces a border, a single straight line, at the end of each line that I can prescribe a color. I don?t see an attribute that allows this at the W3 site. Does anyone know if this is possible?

    Thanks!

  18. Extra Vertical Space Question

    in HTML/XHTML

    Posted

    Thanks Wickham!

    I was just heading off to sleep, but I will study your notes and implement later.

    I am aware that I am using a Release Canditate for IE, but I am much too impatient to work with 7 and was hoping that IE 8 was further along that it actually is. Ever the dreamer.

  23. Keep text in the box

    in CSS

    Posted

    Thank you.

    I have another question relating to the same style. I wanted to use this description:

    text-shadow:4px 4px 8px blue;

    This works only in Safari, but not in Chrome, IE or Firefox. Does anyone know why?

    Regards!
