Form to Database

Form2Database requires to set write permissions on folder "HDWForm2Database/saved_forms".

For Linux/Unix servers

FTP programs ("clients") allow you to set permissions for files and directories on your remote host. This function is often called chmod or set permissions in the program menu.

In the first image, look at the last column - that shows the permissions. It looks a bit confusing, but for now just note the sequence of letters:


Right click the folder or files to set permissions, and usually a popup screen will appear (see the second image):


Don't worry about the check boxes. Just delete the 'Numeric value:' and enter the number you need - in this case it's 777 or simply mark all checkboxes. Then click OK.

That's all.

For Windows servers

There should be an option in your web hosting control panel to set write permissions. If it's not present, you may can contact your web hosting service and request the write permissions for the PHP code.

Go to the file "HDWFormToDatabase/FormToDatabase.php", at line #81 set the configuration value INCLUDE_EXTRA_INFO to false:

define("INCLUDE_EXTRA_INFO",true); 

---

You can apply the following changes:

Change #1: Subject, line #686:
 
$emailsubject=  $_POST["name-of-the-subject-field-on-your-form"];
 
Change #2: From Name (add this one), line #618:
 
$mail->FromName = $_POST["name-of-the-name-field-on-your-form"];
 
Change #3: From Email, line #619:
 
$mail->From     = $_POST["name-of-the-email-field-on-your-form"];

Replace the strings marked in red with the field names from your form.

---

Yes, you can use <select multiple="multiple" ...> and <select multiple ...> tags.

In PHP, to be able to post select multiple fields you need to add the characters [] at the end of the field's name, example:

<select name="items[]" size="5" multiple="multiple">

---

Follow these steps:

#1 - Add the char-set that you are using into your <FORM ...> tag, example:

<form accept-charset="iso-8859-1" ...

#2 - Open the file "FormToDatabase.php" and put SPECIAL_CHARACTERS to true on line #99:

define('SPECIAL_CHARACTERS', true);

#3 - Specify your char-set again on line #101:

define('CHAR_SET', "iso-8859-1");

Sample charsets:

• utf-8
• windows-1256
• iso-8859-1

---

Just be sure to add the enctype="multipart/form-data" and method="post" attribute for uploads

<form action="/HDWFormToDatabase/FormToDatabase.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

These attributes are required for forms with "file" fields.

---

If you want to use an external email server, you can do the following:

STEP 1- Go to Line #850 and configure the Form2Database.php file to send primary via SMTP:
 
    var $Mailer            = "mail";
 
...change by:
 
    var $Mailer            = "smtp";
 
Note: This first step is required only in a few servers, in most cases Form2Database detects automatically that the available method is SMTP.
 
STEP 2- Go to Line #65 and put there your SMTP server address if is different than "localhost"
 
  define('SMTP_SERVER', 'localhost');
 
 
Note: STEPS 3 and 4 are required only if your server required authentication. If authentication is not required, please ignore these steps:
 
STEP 3- Go to Line #69 to activate authentication:
 
  define('USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', false);
 
...change by:
 
  define('USE_SMTP_AUTHENTICATION', true);
 
STEP 4- On the lines #70 and #71 put your username and password.

---

Yes, it's possible. Add this line below the current line # 734 (into the PHP file):

send_mail($_POST["clientemail"], $fromaddress, $emailsubject, "Thank you!" . $body, $attachments);

In your form "clientemail" is the name of the field where the client enter his email address.

---

Go to the file "HDWFormToDatabase/FormToDatabase.php", at line #78 set the configuration value SEND_EMAIL_COPY to false:

define("SEND_EMAIL_COPY",false); 

---

Go to the file "HDWFormToDatabase/FormToDatabase.php", at line #80 set the configuration value SAVE_DATABASE_FILE to false:

define("SAVE_DATABASE_FILE",false); 

---

Yes, to do that open the file HDWFormToDatabase/FormToDatabase.php in any text editor (Ex: Dreamweaver in code view) and into the first lines you will see several configuration parameters.

The section #5 of that configuration section (about lines #84..#90) allows to exclude fields from being saved into the database and/or being sent into the email.

---

Yes, you can send additional copies to other two email addresses (in addition to the default email address).

For doing that, open the file "FormToDatabase.php" in any text editor and at the lines #40 and #41 you will see the following configuration parameters:

define('EMAIL_COPY1','');
define('EMAIL_COPY2','');

...you can set additional destination email addresses there as follows (example):

define('EMAIL_COPY1','john@sample-email.com');
define('EMAIL_COPY2','jane@sample-email.com');

If you are testing your page directly from your local hard disk in IE 7, this message appears:

"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click here for options."

In IE 7 this message appears when you test a web page that contains a script or Flash item directly form your local hard disk. When you upload your page to an online web server that message does not appear.

The address from a web server must start with http:// or https:// . On the other hand if the address starts with C:\ or file:// then you are testing it from your local hard disk.

Just upload your web page to your web site and you will see that the error disappears.

Please follow these steps:

1. Check if  you have defined a local web site at dreamweaver.
   
2. Check if you have saved the page into your local web site.
   
3. If you are using Dreamweaver templates, check if your templates allow an "Editable Region" in the <HEAD> section of the HTML code.
   
4. Mark the "Use case-sensitive link checking" option in the site settings and recreate your site cache.
5. After these checks, please restart your Dreamweaver and try again.

If the above actions don’t solve the problem, then probably the reason is a wrong HTML structure in the page that you are trying to use the product, in this case, please check the page’s HTML structure and if you cannot find the problem then contact our support service.

That's due to a bug in the Adobe Extension Manager that sometimes corrupts the "Menus.xml" file. That file can be found in the following location:

Windows users: C:\Documents and Settings\[UserName]\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver [version]\Configuration\Menus\menus.xml

Mac users: HD:Users:username:Library: Application Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver [version]:Configuration:Menus:Menus.xml

To fix this problem close your Dreamweaver and try the following:

1. Un-install all your extensions and then re-install them one at a time. This will work in most cases.
2. If the above doesn't work then delete the "Menus.xml" file. After this you will need to disable and enable your extensions in order to get the menu entries again.
3. If none of the above works then there is more than one file corrupted, the solution in this case will be to completely uninstall Dreamweaver and reinstall it again.
