| Field
Label: |
subject |
| Description: |
The
subject field will allow you to specify the subject
that you wish to appear in the e-mail that is sent
to you after this form has been filled out. If you
do not have this option turned on, then the script
will default to a message subject: WWW Form Submission |
| Syntax: |
If
you wish to choose what the subject is:
<input type=hidden name="subject" value="Your
Subject">
To allow the user to choose a subject:
<input type=text name="subject"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
email |
| Description: |
This
form field will allow the user to specify their
return e-mail address. If you want to be able to
return e-mail to your user, I strongly suggest that
you include this form field and allow them to fill
it in. This will be put into the From: field of
the message you receive. If you want to require
an email address with valid syntax, add this field
name to the 'required' field. |
| Syntax: |
<input
type=text name="email"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
realname |
| Description: |
The
realname form field will allow the user to input
their real name. This field is useful for identification
purposes and will also be put into the From: line
of your message header. |
| Syntax: |
<input
type=text name="realname"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
redirect |
| Description: |
If
you wish to redirect the user to a different URL,
rather than having them see the default response
to the fill-out form, you can use this hidden variable
to send them to a pre-made HTML page. |
| Syntax: |
To
choose the URL they will end up at:
<input type=hidden name="redirect"
value="http://your.host.com/to/file.html">
To allow them to specify a URL they wish to travel
to once the form is filled out:
<input type=text name="redirect"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
required |
| Description: |
You
can now require for certain fields in your form
to be filled in before the user can successfully
submit the form. Simply place all field names that
you want to be mandatory into this field. If the
required fields are not filled in, the user will
be notified of what they need to fill in, and a
link back to the form they just submitted will be
provided.
To use a customized error page, see 'missing_fields_redirect' |
| Syntax: |
If
you want to require that they fill in the email
and phone fields in your form, so that you can reach
them once you have received the mail, use a syntax
like:
<input type=hidden name="required"
value="email,phone"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
env_report |
| Description: |
Allows
you to have Environment variables included in
the e-mail message you receive after a user has
filled out your form. Useful if you wish to know
what browser they were using, what domain they
were coming from or any other attributes associated
with environment variables. The following is a
short list of valid environment variables that
might be useful:
REMOTE_HOST
- Sends the hostname making the request.
REMOTE_ADDR - Sends the IP address of the remote
host making the request.
REMOTE_USER - If server supports authentication
and script is protected, this is
the username they have authenticated as. *This
is not usually set.*
HTTP_USER_AGENT - The browser the client is using
to send the request. |
| Syntax: |
If
you wanted to find the remote host and browser sending
the request, you would put the following into your
form:
<input type=hidden name="env_report"
value="REMOTE_HOST,HTTP_USER_AGENT"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
sort |
| Description: |
This
field allows you to choose the order in which you
wish for your variables to appear in the e-mail
that FormMail generates. You can choose to have
the field sorted alphabetically or specify a set
order in which you want the fields to appear in
your mail message. By leaving this field out, the
order will simply default to the order in which
the browsers sends the information to the script
(which is usually the exact same order as they appeared
in the form.) When sorting by a set order of fields,
you should include the phrase "order:"
as the first part of your value for the sort field,
and then follow that with the field names you want
to be listed in the e-mail message, separated by
commas. Version 1.6 allows a little more flexibility
in the listing of ordered fields, in that you can
include spaces and line breaks in the field without
it messing up the sort. This is helpful when you
have many form fields and need to insert a line
wrap. |
| Syntax: |
To
sort alphabetically:
<input type=hidden name="sort" value="alphabetic">
To sort by a set field order:
<input type=hidden name="sort" value="order:name1,name2,etc..."> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
print_config |
| Description: |
print_config
allows you to specify which of the config variables
you would like to have printed in your e-mail message.
By default, no config fields are printed to your
e-mail. This is because the important form fields,
like email, subject, etc. are included in the header
of the message. However some users have asked for
this option so they can have these fields printed
in the body of the message. The config fields that
you wish to have printed should be in the value
attribute of your input tag separated by commas. |
| Syntax: |
If
you want to print the email and subject fields in
the body of your message, you would place the following
form tag:
<input type=hidden name="print_config"
value="email,subject"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
print_blank_fields |
| Description: |
print_blank_fields
allows you to request that all form fields are printed
in the return HTML, regardless of whether or not
they were filled in. FormMail defaults to turning
this off, so that unused form fields aren't e-mailed. |
| Syntax: |
If
you want to print all blank fields:
<input type=hidden name="print_blank_fields"
value="1"> |
|
|
|
| Field
Label: |

<input type=hidden name="title" value="Feedback

|
|
|
| Field
Label: |
return_link_url |
| Description: |
This
field allows you to specify a URL that will appear,
as return_link_title, on the following report page.
This field will not be used if you have the redirect
field set, but it is useful if you allow the user
to receive the report on the following page, but
want to offer them a way to get back to your main
page. |
| Syntax: |
<input
type=hidden name="return_link_url" value="http://your.host.com/main.html">
|

Label: |
missing_fields_redirect |

in the required form field that are not filled in.

fields you can use with this form, except the limits
imposed by browsers and your server. |
