Changing html to php errors

Client Joined: Oct 07, 2003 Posts: 735 Location: Ohio

I have a form called enlistment.php that is a hack of the feedback form in Nuke. I originally had it written with straight html and php where needed. The problem was that I had hard coded alot of stuff into the page and wanted to make it more configurable.

I looked into HEREDOC, but I took the lazy way and just ran the html part of the page thru a php converter like Dispal. Then made changes to refer to a language file, and a config.inc.php I made.

Page doesn't work now. It doesn't send email, just refreshes and sends me to index.php of my module.

Don't know where I went wrong.

Here is the original and new files zipped up since it won't let me copy and paste because of some tags I have. And the milpacs.inc.php that has some variables to set during the install.

Any help is mucho appreciated.

Why make it so hard on your self? Forget the php converter and just rewrite your code like this.

Code:

<?


define('_MILPACS_NAME','Marine Man');  // Assume this came from your includes file


?>


<html>


      <br><center><b>Are you ready to become a <?=_MILPACS_NAME?></b><br>


</html>

I'll assume that's enough to give you the jist. BTW, HEREDOC is heck of a lot easier and more maintanable than all those echo statement, imo.

Found it.

I had this pointing here.

Code:

<form name="enlistment" action="modules.php?name=MILPACS" method="post">

When I should have pointed it to here.

Code:

<form name="enlistment" action="modules.php?name=MILPACS&file=enlistment" method="post">
