HTML - Help With Saving Form To Html

Hello. I have a small script developed for tracking sales. The script randomly generates a "transaction ID" by creating a random number when a user visits the thank you page.

It works great, however there is one problem: when a repeat user comes back, it generates a NEW transaction ID and logs a second "sale" when in fact its just a repeat visit.

How can I modify this script to remember the transaction ID for each user? I was thinking creating a cookie with the transaction ID would be the simplest way, however I'm not sure.

If you can help me decide which way is best, and then show me how to implement this I will be very greatful.

Basically I think I would need some sort of second variable, and a script that runs to check for a cookie. If cookie is present, replace "$random_number" with "transaction ID". else if no cookie is present, generate a new number with $random_number.

Heres the code:

Code:

<!------- Random Number Generator For Pixel ---------->
<?php
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(0,100000);

echo "<script src='https://users.domain.com/sale_third/49.95/$random_number/OPTIONAL_INFORMATION'></script>

<noscript><IMG SRC='https://users.domain.com/track_sale/49.95/$random_number/OPTIONAL_INFORMATION'></noscript>";
 
?> 
<!------- End Random Number Generator For Pixel ---------->

Thanks in advance.

I am using dreamweaver and for some reason when I save files it's creating extra linespaces.
like
<br>
<br>
<br>
will show up as
<br>

<br>

<br>

How can I fix this? It's a real pain.
It must increase my page size? Or is it fine?
One page I have, I don't know why, but it has 5-6 lines in between, maybe every time I save it' adds another line?

Hello,

I am new to the forums, and i have been using HTMl for quite some time now. I was just wondering, i have a custom pc building form, and as of right now i am using javascript and all the items are stored in the HTML of the BODY tag.

I was wondering if there is a way i can modify the form, and have the pull down items populate from an external database.

eg.
Current
HTML Code:

<table class="cpu_content" width="800" align=center id="table1">
  <tr>
    <td>&nbsp;</td>
    <td></td>
    <td><strong>Qty</strong></td>
    <td><strong>Total</strong></td>
  </tr>
    
  <tr class="lineitem">
  <td>CD-ROM Drives:</td>
  <td>
    <select name="prod_1" class="quoteselect" onchange="updatePrice(1, this.value)">
     <option value="Select:0" selected>-- Select --</option>
     <option value="Asus:0">--ASUS-- </option>
     <option value="Asus52xCD:20.0">Asus 52x CD-ROM Drive ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="Asus52XDBL:20.0">Asus 52x CD-ROM Drive (Black) ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="LG:0">--LG--</option>
     <option value="LG52xCD:20.0">LG 52x CD-ROM Drive ($20.00)</option>
     <option value="LG52xCDBL:20.0">LG 52x CD-ROM Drive (Black) ($20.00)</option>
    </select>
   </td>
   <td>
    <select name="qty_1" id="qty_1" onchange="calculateSubtotal()">
     <option value="0">0</option>
     <option value="1">1</option>
     <option value="2">2</option>
     <option value="3">3</option>
     <option value="4">4</option>
     <option value="5">5</option>
     <option value="6">6</option>
     <option value="7">7</option>
     <option value="8">8</option>
     <option value="9">9</option>
     <option value="10">10</option>
    </select>
   </td>
   <td>
    <input id="st_1" type="text" size="5" class="subtotal" value="0.00" readonly name="T1">
   </td>
</tr>

.....More items here....

...Tax/Shipping/Totals will go here....

So my question would be, how could this code be modified to use a dabase to store the items for the pulldown menus, if this is possible?

Thanks for reading,

OK, sad to say, I just registered to ask this question (and I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section, too). I'm fairly new at HTML and PHP, and I get a blank page whenever I use this form:

This is the HTML part:

Code:

<html>
<head>
<title>HTML</title>
</head>

<body>
<form action="PHPServer.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="from" value="Sender" />
<br/>
<input type="text" name="to" value="Receiver" />
<br/>
<input type="text" name="subject" value="Subject" />
<br/>
<input type="text" name="msg" value="Message" />
<br/>
<input type="submit" value="Send E-Mail" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

This is the PHP part:

Code:

<html>
<head><title>PHP Server</title></head>
<body>
<?php
$to = $_POST['to'];
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$from = $_POST['from'];
$message = $_POST['msg'];
if(mail($to, $subject, $message, $from)){
	echo "Mail sent";
}else{
	echo "Failed to send mail";	
}
?>
</body>
</html>

Again, all I get when I press the submit form (with all valid information) is a blank white page on the PHP part (aka www.website.com/PHPServer.php) and the title as PHP Server...Help please and thanks

Hi,

I have set up a basic HTML form that asks a customer a series of questions.

My question is, using PHP or similar can anybody help witht he code to,

Provide basic data validation, all fields require a response and then to email the data direct to me without using the clients email software.

All the internet help I can find refers to put functions in seperate files, but I can't do that as I don't have access to the host servers!

I intend to put a capatcha on it to prevent spamming, again this seems to rely on other php files too.

Is there away that you can create functions that are called, but are not in seperate files?

Any help would be greatly received.

Hi,
I'm trying to create a form with two boxes for an insurance site. I want that in the first box the user will select the type of insurance and in the second box type the zip code. For every insurance type, the surfer will be directed to a different URL.

This is the code that I have, but of course that it doesn't work:
HTML Code:

<form name="mainform">
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2">
                <select name="src" id="type">
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-car.html">Auto</option>
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-home.html">Home</option>
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-life.html">Life</option>
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-health.html">Health</option>
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-motorcycle.html">Motorcycle</option>
                    <option value="http://www.mysite.com/results-business.html">Business</option>
                </select>
            </td>
            <input type="hidden" name="source" value="google" />
        <tr>
            <td><input type="text" name="zipcode" maxlength="5" id="zip" />
</td>

        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td colspan="2" style="text-align:center;"><input type="submit" id="button" value="Go"/></td>

        </tr>

    </table>
</form>

For example, for auto insurance the URL should be:
HTML Code:

http://www.mysite.com/results-car.html?zipcode=10001&source=google

Thanks!!

What do i do? What im trying is the action is "http://website.com/images/" but what im trying to do is where the user can enter its own text like "Image1.png" so when they do hit submit. It will enter the action= "http://website.com/images/" in the address bar and then what ever the user typed in it will followed right behind it for example ="http://website.com/images/image1.png"

Code:

<form name="input" action="http://website.com/images/" 

method="get">
Search: <input type="text" value="" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

This is what i have so far. Not entirely sure its correct. Because it always have the "?=" Before the text so it will always get the address wrong. Does anyone know what i mean. Or is it even possible to have something were they don't have to enter the ".png" the code will insirt it at the end.

The problem I am having with it is the mailto part. Whenever I click send, it automatically opens Microsoft Outlook. Here is what I need:

1) Make it so that it sends to the e-mail I specify without opening Microsoft Outlook.
2) Make all the fields required to be sent.

Code:

Hi All,

I'm far from a HTML pro so need some help with this one.

I need to automate some auditing as much as I can. What I was thinking was to create a html form with yes/no answers. when a NO answer is provided, a description of why this is bad is shown, to either copy and paste into a word doc or even better, auto generate the document.

i.e.

Web form with question and radio button Y/N answers;

Q1. Is there an Anti-Virus Y/N
Q2. Are MS updates up to date Y/N
Q3. Are all firewalls on Y/N
Q4. Are Password complexities met Y/N

As you can see, Q1 and Q3 were answered with a NO. so would like details on these questions shown/generated/exported to word. i.e.

Q1. Is there an Anti-Virus;
Anti-Virus is required to prevent malicious software bla bla bla

Q3. Are all Firewalls on;
Firewalls prevent attacks bla bla blab laa.

IS this easy to do?
