Trying to make a custom order form

[Phil Roark]

I will delve into that a little bit more int the morning. I agree as that is a little overkill, but I may be able to make it work.

That example is just showing off the possibilities. You can set up any combination of choices you like.

Here's another somewhat simpler example: http://www.zen-cart.net/demo/index.p...products_id=46
Again, you can set it up according to your own needs.

Phil,

If you are just trying to solicit emails from potential clients with a custom leather need, and DO NOT wish to have this captured in your ZC database, or any other database, there is probably a simpler solution.

I suspect the problem is with PHP, perhaps not providing a file for storage as I believe the form was designed to both store and forward. But I may be way off.

You can use your existing form and simply change the ACTION to a simple CGImail script located in your CGI folder. You will have to create a .txt file to serve as the template of your email message.

Not as dynamic as the PHP solution, but it should meet your stated goal.

This is a dated, but original explanation of the process. http://web.mit.edu/wwwdev/cgiemail/user.html

Hope it helps. Good Luck.

Keep in mind that while Mike's suggestion may work, if you're sending mail from a CGI script, it's very likely it'll get trapped by junkmail filters and delivered to a spam folder if it even gets delivered at all.

I used product attributes to make a vendor application form for a festival. It does a lot of the same kinds of things you want to do; I created a mod, Flexible Attributes, to get the form looking exactly the way I wanted it. Look a the nyfaeriefest site in my sig, Artist Vendors > Vendor Application.
