Answers

How do I set write permissions on the required folder?

Form2Excel requires to set write permissions on folder "HDWForm2Excel/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.



How can I edit the "Form2Excel.php" document so that when the email comes through, it has the email address and subject filled out from the user on the form, instead of the default values?

You can apply the following changes:

Change #1: Subject, line #660:
 
$emailsubject=  $_POST["name-of-the-subject-field-on-your-form"];
 
Change #2: From Name (add this one), line #597:
 
$mail->FromName = $_POST["name-of-the-name-field-on-your-form"];
 
Change #3: From Email, line #598:
 
$mail->From     = $_POST["name-of-the-email-field-on-your-form"];

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


Can the form send a CC to the user as well? We want the user to receive a copy of the email for their records with a "thank you" comment at the top.

Yes, it's possible. Add this code at line # 699 (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.

I'm having problems with the encoding of special characters, there is a work around?

All you need is to this attribute (marked in red) into your <FORM ...> tag:

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


Is it possible using this tool to send through multiple selections in the same list box?

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

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

When I preview my web page atfer I get this message in my Internet Explorer,"To help protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted...". What is the problem?

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 start 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.
