Form objet use to get information from people

#1 · March 23, 2020, 4:08 pm

Hello Luis ...

I looked in the "help" about VisualNeo Web and the "Form" object proposes to be used to obtain information from a person or a client.

How do we do that?

Where do we find the Server script "myscript.php" and how to use it with the "Form" object to get the information of the person.

I understand that the script "myscript.php" must be placed on the Host web server.

Hi @rocote, that script should be coded by you, depending on what information and how you want to store or send the information, the script could be quite different. This is a sample code for sending the form data through email:

<?php
//Header required when app and php are of different origins
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
$message="";
if($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] === "POST") {
   foreach ($_POST as $key => $value){
      $message .= "".htmlspecialchars($key).": ".htmlspecialchars($value)."\r\n";
   }
   $to = "somebody@example.com";
   $subject = "My subject";
   $headers = "From: webmaster@example.com" . "\r\n" . "CC: somebodyelse@example.com";
   mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);
}else{
   $result = "INVALID DATA";
   echo $result;
}
echo "EMAIL SUCCESSFULLY SEND";
?>

Just change $to, $subject and $headers variables and save it into a text file with name "myscript.php". Then upload it to your web server. Also use something like this on your form action property:

https://yourdomain.com/yourfolder/senddata.php

Regards.

This script works very well, I tested it during my tests of the different functions of visualneo web, while waiting to be able to put everything in practice in a real project.
