PARAMATER HAS NO VALUE. The following Actions have a parameter that requires a value.
The Parameter ‘successpage’ “PHP feedback form”, Page: “Pricing”.
After uploading and testing the form, all works well (I get the thank you page appear), except the following:
If I submit without content I don’t get the Error Page appear!
The notification email I receive contains all of the submitted content but the from box is empty.
I’ve looked the Actions panel in the Pricing page and the details in the ‘Thanks’ page but I can’t see where the problem is!
Have you named your text fields correctly - unless you have called them name, email etc the error notification wont kick in nor will the from details be inserted.
With your text field selected look in the inspector, 3rd tab Item Output Settings and maker sure the correct ‘name’ is in there ie name, email etc - a value is not necessary.
Also note that the Freeway Moments video for this incorrectly states that your page should end in .php - this is NOT the case as all the php is contained in an external, action generated file (yourpagename-go,php) and you will not be able to preview your form page locally.
Hi Dave thanks for your reply. I have the following fields for my form:
First Name, Last Name, Location, Contact Number, Email, Course Required, Message. I have named them in this way.
Whilst I now understand the naming convention for ‘name’ and ‘email’, do I have to follow a convention for the other fields (and any others I may wish to add)?
Hi Steve,
The PHP code that the action creates is really quite dumb in that it will process any form data that gets passed to it. The resulting email will contain name/ value pairs for all of the form fields apart from three special field names that the action looms out for.
name - This is the name of the sender of the form and forms (in part) the return email address
email - As you might expect this is the sender’s email address and, again, makes up the return address of the email
subject - If the PHP code locates a form field with this name then the resulting email will use this data as the email subject
The rest of your form fields can be called anything you like as they will show up in the resulting email in the order they are processed.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Tim.

The first character of the name must be a letter, not a number or
punctuation character.
No spaces in the name at all.
The best bet is to stick to lower-case letters and the underscore
character to separate words.
Whatever you want to put on the screen next to the form field doesn’t
matter to the server, but what you name the form field matters very
very much. And as has been pointed earlier in this thread, the Title
field (on the left-most tab of the Inspector) doesn’t matter, the Name
field in the third tab from the left is the only one that counts.
