Why can't I insert my PHP Mail Form into Define Pages Page_2????

Code included........

When I attempt to go to the page this code is inserted on, it halfway loads, and leaves the right column boxes as well as the body blank, and the header bar offset to the right.

<style type='text/css'>

Am I doing something wrong?

I do not believe you can include php in the defines pages - only html

How would you recommend going about inserting a mail form on my ZenCart?

Could I write a frame in html in the Define Page, that calls for the php file from another source?

Could probably achieve using EZ Pages
i.e. see
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37252&highlight=pages+include+php

Or this might be of some useful reference:

Not correct, at least in the new version. PHP works just fine.> kobra:

Apparently, good sir, this is not the case..... otherwise, I'd have been able to pull off this php mail script with no post on this form. :)

As well, Mr. Yellow..... if php works fine, why can't I insert my mail form?!

The result of me putting the PHP code into an EZ Page......

http://www.eternale.com/cart/index.php?main_page=page&id=5

This actually is closer to resolution than anything I've seen so far, as far as me trying to get a functioning Email form up. Yay!

What else do I need to do?

Also, important question..... my PHP mail form calls for another file in the first line of it's include.... where in the Cart directory do I put this file????

I also believe that ezpages will not parse php correctly...

Why not use DrByte's suggestion and clone the contact us files with your names and php or make this a html form?

1. Can I create a self-contained html email form without SMTP coordinates? The hook of using PHP here was that it handles email functionality from within the script. Also, with HTML, isn't there an include file, just like the PHP method?

2. Which files would I be cloning to duplicate the process on the Contact Form? How would I handle the addition of, say, 4-6 more fields, on top of the 3 they only currently have there?

What would you suggest is easiest at this point? I've considered doing this in Flash, but that UTF8 crap means I never get Flash email forms right.

DrByte:

I swear I did, Dr. Byte. These discussions lose me for two reasons:

1. I know relatively little about PHP... enough to recognize a PHP tag, that's about it. Some people seem to follow along with no problem. These people confidently know what they are doing. Dave Hojak admittedly does not.

2. Resolution usually comes over the course of multiple pages, and I'm in need of something a little more simplified as far as the explanation of the process.

I read thoroughly through your links to the forum topics about data collection, and it appeals to me as though I'm missing something.

Well, the link I posted takes you to a discussion which has a big bright red note at the top suggesting where you can download a packaged pre-assembled version of the entire discussion for quick installation: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=386482#post386482

The attachment to that post is a sample form with lots of validated fields whose results are emailed to the store owner upon submission.
You can use it as a starting base to set up some additional or different field types, etc.

I greatly appreciate your time, Dr. Byte. Thank you.
