Javascript/xml Form-to-pdf Question, Please	View Content

Hello All,

I have a rather complex (well, to me at least, it's complex ) "loop" (not in a programming way, but in a metaphorical way) that I need to close, and, considering that a lot of Javascript (as well as some .php) is involved, I was hoping I could get some help here.

My project involves a form that pulls data from an xml file, and then has the user check radio buttons on whether they approve of the information pulled from the xml file.

The user then submits the form (that includes their email address), then, a pdf file of the form information, including the xml data AND the radio button and text data, is automatically generated and emailed to the user.

The form-to-pdf software I'm using is found at this link:

http://coreyworrell.com/blog/article...pdf-attachment

the Demo is he

http://coreyworrell.com/demos/pdf_email/form.php

(Excellent software, by the way. A html form that, upon submission, dynamically creates a pdf file of the form, and then automatically emails that file to whomever you want, including the user? Tooooo cool.)

I've set up a sample, below, for what the entire loop needs to do.

The first file is the "test.xml" file that includes the sample data:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Quotediscrepancy.xsd" generated="2011-01-14T11:03:31">

<XMLtest>
<Name>Bob Jones</Name>
<Address>123 4th Street</Address>
</XMLtest>

</dataroot>

The second file is the form itself -- sample_form.php -- that pulls the data from the test.xml file, AND includes form elements like radio buttons and text fields:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<HEAD>
		
</HEAD>

<body>

<form action="pdf.php" method="post">

<script type="text/javascript">
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","test.xml",false);
xmlhttp.send();
xmlDoc=xmlhttp.responseXML; 

document.write("<table border='1' cellpadding='5'>");

  document.write("<tr><td> <b>Customer</b>");
  document.write("</td><td> <b>Address </b>");
  document.write("</td></tr>");

var x=xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("XMLtest");
for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)

  { 
document.write("<tr><td>");
document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("Name")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</td><td>");
document.write(x[i].getElementsByTagName("Address")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue);
document.write("</td></tr>");
  }
document.write("</table>");

</script>

<br><br>

Email: <input type="text" name="email">

<br><br>

Yes: <input type="radio" name="radio1" value="Yes"> :: No: <input type="radio" name="radio1" value="No"> 

<br><br>

<p><button type="submit">Click Here to Submit Order</button></p>

</form>
	
</body>
</html>

Here's where I'm stuck.

I don't know how to send all of the xml data AND the form data to the next step in the "loop" -- where the pdf file is dynamically created -- a version of the file "pdf.php" in the above-mentioned softwa

Code:

<html>
<head>
    <style>
 body {font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size:10pt;}
        table {width:100%; border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid #CCC;}
    td {padding:5px; border:1px solid #CCC; border-width:1px 0;}
    </style>
</head>
<body>

   <h1>Form Results</h1>
   
        <table>
         <tr>
                    <td>Name:</td>
                  <td><?php echo $post->name; ?></td>
                    <td>Address:</td>
                  <td><?php echo $post->address; ?></td>
                     <td>Email:</td>
                 <td><?php echo $post->email; ?></td>
            </tr>
           <tr>
                    <td>Yes:</td>
                     <td colspan="3"><?php echo $post->yes; ?></td>
             </tr>
           <tr>
                    <td>No:</td>
                        <td colspan="3"><?php echo $post->no; ?></td>
                </tr>
   </table>
        
</body>
</html>

Any ideas?

MUCH thanks.
