Form submission verification

[Pendragun]

Can anyone help me with this?

 

I am a graphic designer, not a web programmer, so it is much to my frustration that I have been asked to add some functionality to an existing form structure. I don't know any PHP, and my HTML is amateur at best. Here is the form I currently have (below). I have been asked to add a pop-up message when the submit form button is pressed that says something like "Thank you for your submission".

 

<form action="/PHP/send_form_nobleAcademy_UK_June2010.php" method="post" onSubmit="return SendForm();" name="Contact Centre Essentials" id="Contact Centre Essentials">
						<table align="center" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1">
                               <!--DWLayoutTable-->
                               <tr>
                                 <td height="58" colspan="2" valign="top" class="style56 style46"><div align="left" class="style1">
                                     To register for the Contact Centre Essentials training course, please complete the details below:
									<br>
                                     <hr align="left" size="1">
                                     Required  Information:</div></td>
                               </tr>
                               <tr>
                                 <td width="132" height="26" valign="top" class="style1">1. Name:</td>
                                 <td width="401" valign="top"><input name="Name" id="Name" size=33></td>
                               </tr>
                               <tr>
                                 <td width="132" height="26" valign="top" class="style1">2. Company:</td>

                                 <td valign="top"><input name="Company" id="Company" size=33></td>
                               </tr>
                               <tr>
                                 <td height="26" valign="top" class="style1">3. No. of attendees</td>
                                 <td valign="top"><input name="Attendees" id="Attendees" size=33></td>
                               </tr>

                                 <td height="21" colspan="2" valign="top"><hr align="left" size="1"></td>
                               </tr>
                               <tr>
                                 <td height="0"></td>
                                 <td></td>
                               </tr>
                             </table>


                             <div align="center"><font face="Century Gothic">
                               <input name="SUBMIT" type="submit" onClick="MM_validateForm('Name','','R','Company','','R','Attendees','','R');return document.MM_returnValue" value="Register Now">
                               <input type="reset" value="Reset Form" name="RESET" >
                             </font></div>


</form>

 

The PHP document this form calls to is here:

 

<?php

$_email = "info-uk@noblesys.com";


$_subject = "Contact Centre Essentials training course registration";


$_destination = "http://www.noblesys.com";


$em_body = "Information submitted from Web Form:\n" .

"------------------------------------\n";

while (list($field, $value) = each($_POST))

$em_body .= $field . ": " . $value . "\n";

$em_body .= "------------------------------------";

$_header  ="From: usingtechnology@noblesys.com";

mail($_email, $_subject, $em_body, $_header);



header("Location: " . $_destination);



?>

 

Thank you in advance for your reply.

Seems like maybe it would be best to redirect the user to a new page after the form has been submitted, rather than using a popup message. If you look at your PHP code, this line:

 

$_destination = "http://www.noblesys.com";

 

controls where the form redirects to after the form submission has been processed. Rather than using a popup, perhaps just create a new page that includes the thank you message, and change the line within the PHP file:

 

$_destination = "http://www.noblesys.com/name_of_thank_you_file.html";

Wow, that's a great idea. I wish I would have thought of that sooner. Thanks!
