email form and redirect depending on the value of a variable

mtjmohr · Post by **mtjmohr** » Sat 26. Jun 2004, 00:26

Hi, everybody,

I have created an email form which suits my needs perfectly well. No problem about that.
But within this form there is a "pulldown menu" which contains 7 items.
Now, item 1, 2, and 7 shall have no consequence, item 3 to 6 shall lead to a credit card payment form.
Is there any option to base the redirection to this credit card payment form only upon the items 3 to 6 chosen?

Cheers

Markus Mohr

Markus, not possible. If you need something like that it's better to write a small PHP script that does the job.

Hello,

is there a way to POST the variables defined in and entered within an email form to another, say a PHP script which then takes these variables over?

Best wishes

Markus,

as I said - it's simple to do this by enhancing the formmailer (act_formmailer.php) script. All POST vars are processed there - you can implement a check there.

Thank you, now I got the idea.

Hello, Oliver,

here is my primary solution for a self-constructed way to differentiate between 7 forms of membership categories (mc); each mc is being redirected to another absolute URL:

Code: Select all

if(isset($_POST["credit_card1"])) {
  	$credit_card1 = trim($_POST["credit_card1"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card1"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card2"])) {
  	$credit_card2 = trim($_POST["credit_card2"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card2"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card3"])) {
  	$credit_card3 = trim($_POST["credit_card3"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card3"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card4"])) {
  	$credit_card4 = trim($_POST["credit_card4"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card4"]);
	}

	if (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "National")) {
  	exit();
  }
	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Affiliate")) {
  	exit();
  }
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Associated")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card1);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Institutional")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card2);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Corporate")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card3);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Individual")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card4);
	}
	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Student")) {
  	exit();
  }

The only problem I have now is that I do not quite know how to "post" the certain variables I want to send to the credit card form.

Any idea for me?

Best wishes

Markus

Code: Select all

header('Location: '.$credit_card1.'?var='.$the_var_I_need.'&secondvar='.$mysecondvar);

Vars used as GET vars then.

Okay, now I got it that way:

Code: Select all

  // Spezielle Erweiterung, um Formular-Daten in einer bestimmten Form an das
  // element5-Credit-Card-Formular übergeben zu können
  //
  // Festlegen der Credit-Card-URLs
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card1"])) {
  	$credit_card1 = trim($_POST["credit_card1"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card1"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card2"])) {
  	$credit_card2 = trim($_POST["credit_card2"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card2"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card3"])) {
  	$credit_card3 = trim($_POST["credit_card3"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card3"]);
	}
  if(isset($_POST["credit_card4"])) {
  	$credit_card4 = trim($_POST["credit_card4"]);
	unset($_POST["credit_card4"]);
	}
  //
  // festlegen der variablen mittels GET, um diese dann im URL übergeben zu
  // können
  //
	if(isset($_GET["Company_Organization"])) {
  	$var1 = trim($_GET["Company_Organization"]);
	unset($_GET["Company_Organization"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["Salutation"])) {
  	$var2 = trim($_GET["Salutation"]);
	unset($_GET["Salutation"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["First_Name"])) {
  	$var3 = trim($_GET["First_Name"]);
	unset($_GET["First_Name"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["Last_Name"])) {
  	$var4 = trim($_GET["Last_Name"]);
	unset($_GET["Last_Name"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["Address_1"])) {
  	$var5 = trim($_GET["Address_1"]);
	unset($_GET["Address_1"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["Address_2"])) {
  	$var6 = trim($_GET["Address_2"]);
	unset($_GET["Address_2"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["ZipCode"])) {
  	$var7 = trim($_GET["ZipCode"]);
	unset($_GET["ZipCode"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["City"])) {
  	$var8 = trim($_GET["City"]);
	unset($_GET["City"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["State"])) {
  	$var9 = trim($_GET["State"]);
	unset($_GET["State"]);
	}
	if(isset($_GET["Country"])) {
  	$var10 = trim($_GET["Country"]);
	unset($_GET["Country"]);
	}
  //
  // Auswertung nach Membership Categories und anschliessender redirect
  //
	if (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "National")) {
  	exit();
  }
	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Affiliate")) {
  	exit();
  }
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Associated")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card1.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Institutional")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card2.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Corporate")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card3.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Individual")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card4.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
	elseif (($_POST['label'] == "Membership_Category") && ($_POST['value'] == "Student")) {
  	exit();
  }

Should be working like that or is there an error to be seen?

Many greetings

Markus

This way it doesn't work. I presume that I have to get the "if .. then" clauses trying to retrieve the membership category information in a different manner.

Any idea?

Markus

mtjmohr · Post by **mtjmohr** » Tue 29. Jun 2004, 17:38

Now I have changed the latter part of the code to:

Code: Select all

  //
  // Auswertung nach Membership Categories und anschliessender redirect
  //
  // if(isset($credit_card_1) || isset($credit_card_2) || isset($credit_card_3) || isset($credit_card_4)) {
	if (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "National")) {
  	exit();
  }
	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Affiliate")) {
  	exit();
  }
 	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Associated")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card_1.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Institutional")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card_2.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Corporate")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card_3.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
 	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Individual")) {
  	header('Location: '.$credit_card_4.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10);
	}
	elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Student")) {
  	exit();
  }
  // }

But that did not help either, since the redirection is not being carried out.

BTW, here is the email form "IH|...":

Markus, GET values have to be processed by another script - not the formmailer itself.

Oliver

mtjmohr · Post by **mtjmohr** » Tue 29. Jun 2004, 18:29

Maybe I am stupid and / or too unexperienced, but how shall I do this? I only get the values for these variables within the email form. Do I need to "outsource" these values to another script or really get them from another one, and if the latter is true, where is the position for this script?

I thought that I might be able to transfer the values I get out of the email form, i. e. the same values which are also handed over to the email sending process, through an URL redirect to another site or script, in this case the element5 "checkout.html" form which needs to be fed with these variables.

I do not understand, hence, how to handle the GET values. Can you give me some small example, please?

Best wishes

Markus

Post by **Oliver Georgi** » Tue 29. Jun 2004, 18:34

GET values are send via URI like http://mywww?myvalue=5 - that is what you have to add to header(Location:...) as I have decribed above.

Oliver

mtjmohr · Post by **mtjmohr** » Tue 29. Jun 2004, 18:40

Yes, but the latest code example does exemplify this, doesn't it?

Code: Select all

if (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "National")) { 
     exit(); 
  } 
   elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Affiliate")) { 
     exit(); 
  } 
    elseif (($_GET["Membership_Category"] == "Associated")) { 
     header('Location: '.$credit_card_1.'?COMPANY='.$var1.'&SALUTATION='.$var2.'&FIRSTNAME='.$var3.'&LASTNAME='.$var4.'&D_STREET1='.$var5.'&D_STREET2='.$var6.'&D_POSTALCODE='.$var7.'&D_CITY='.$var8.'&D_STATE_ID='.$var9.'&D_COUNTRY_ID='.$var10); 
   }

Best wishes
