Formmail OptionsBFormMailVersion 2.0 Optional built-in fields and their functions. This document is an excerpt from the README file that is distributed with the script. We have renamed the script to "formmail" which is the name of the previous version so that our many forms do not have to be updated. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field will allow you to send a copy of the users form data to another address instead of putting multiple addresses in the recipient field. This will be added to the e-mail as a Cc: field. Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*cc" value="webmaster@infosheet.com"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field will allow you to send a copy of the users form
data to the email address specified by the visitor in the email field. This
could be helpful to confirm orders Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*cc_visitor" value="1"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field will allow you to send a blind copy of the users form data to another address instead of putting multiple addresses in the recipient field. This will be added to the e-mail as a Bcc: field. Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*bcc" value="webmaster@infosheet.com"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This field initiates an automated courtesy reply to the user to thank them for filling out your form! Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_reply" value="yes"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The first line of your courtesy reply text Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_reply_texta" value="Thank you for taking the time..."> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The second line of your courtesy reply text Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_reply_textb" value="Call us if you need anything..."> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Tell the visitor who you are in the courtesy reply footer Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_who_we_are" value="The Byte Shop"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: If you want to put your url in the footer of the reply Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_our_url" value="http://www.infosheet.com"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: If you want to put your mailto in the footer of the reply Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*courtesy_our_email" value="bsietz@infosheet.com">
----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Allows you to have Environment variables included in the e-mail
message you receive after a user has filled out your form. Useful if you wish
to know what browser they were using, what domain they were coming from or
any other attributes associated with environment variables. The following is
a short list of valid environment variables that might be useful: REMOTE_HOST - Sends the hostname making a request. There are others, but these are a few of the most useful. For more information on environment variables, see: http://www.cgi-resources.com/Documentation/Environment_Variables/ Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*env_report" value="REMOTE_HOST, HTTP_USER_AGENT"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This field allows you to choose the order in which you wish for your variables to appear in the e-mail that FormMail generates. You can choose to have the field sorted alphabetically or specify a set order in which you want the fields to appear in your mail message. By leaving this field out, the order will simply default to the order in which the browsers sends the information to the script (which is usually the exact same order as they appeared in the form.) When sorting by a set order of fields, you should include the phrase "order:" as the first part of your value for the sort field, and then follow that with the field names you want to be listed in the e-mail message, separated by commas. You can include spaces and line breaks in the field without it messing up the sort. This is helpful when you have many form fields and need to insert a line wrap. Syntax: To sort by a set field order: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: print_config allows you to specify which of the config. variables you would like to have printed in your e-mail message. By default, no config fields are printed to your e-mail. This is because the important form fields, like email, subject, etc. are included in the header of the message. However some users have asked for this option so they can have these fields printed in the body of the message. The config fields that you wish to have printed should be in the value attribute of your input tag separated by commas. Syntax: <input type=hidden name="*print_config" value="*email,*subject"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: print_blank_fields allows you to request that all form fields are printed in the return HTML, regardless of whether or not they were filled in. FormMail defaults to turning this off, so that unused form fields aren't e-mailed. Syntax: If you want to print all blank fields: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field allows you to specify the title and header that will appear on the resulting page if you do not specify a redirect URL. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This field allows you to specify a URL that will appear, as *return_link_title, on the following report page. This field will not be used if you have the redirect field set, but it is useful if you allow the user to receive the report on the following page, but want to offer them a way to get back to your main page. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This is the title that will be used to link the user back to
the <ul> Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field allows you to specify a URL that users will be redirected to if there are fields listed in the required form field that are not filled in. This is so you can customize an error page instead of displaying the default. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field allow you to specify a background image that will appear if you do not have the redirect field set. This image will appear as the background to the form results page. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This form field allow you to specify a bgcolor for the form results page in much the way you specify a background image. This field should not be set if the redirect field is. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: This field works in the same way as bgcolor, except that it will change the color of your text. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Changes the color of links on the resulting page. Works in the same way as text_color. Should not be defined if redirect is. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Changes the color of visited links on the resulting page. Works exactly the same as link_color. Should not be set if redirect is. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: Changes the color of active links on the resulting page. Works exactly the same as link_color. Should not be set if redirect is. Syntax: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The e-mail to fax service provider. Current support is built-in for the following services: faxaway - http://www.faxaway.com If faxservice is not specified, no fax will be sent. BFormMail will format the e-mail as required by the specified service. Faxsav (Netmoves) and Faxaway are www services which will convert an e-mail message to a fax for a reasonable fee. These services allow the webmaster to create a feedback form and have the results faxed to the recipient for those who don't have e-mail or who need a paper copy sent! The only problem is the requirement that the From: field be a registered user of their service, and the To: field is the fax telephone number. The original script was not designed this way; the From: field is designed to be the web visitor (which will most likely NOT be an existing customer). The fields faxnum and faxfrom were added to support the requirements for this service. If faxservice is specified, an additional e-mail message is sent using the faxnum for the "To: " field, and the faxfrom as the "From: " field. Syntax: <input type=hidden name="faxservice" value = "netmoves"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The telephone number to send the fax, including country code area code and number. Syntax: <input type=hidden name="faxnum" value = "16097951994"> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Description: The From: for a fax (see below) Syntax: <input type=hidden name="faxfrom" value = "webmaster@infosheet.com">
