[Pro] eCard

Freeway

Has anyone created an online eCard like this one…
http://www.thewolseley.com/ecardv2.aspx

I’m guessing I start with the PHP Feedback form action and then I’m stuck!

THE ISSUES:

  1. Obviously the ‘recipient’ results are not pre-determined so a “capture ‘to’ email field” tool is what I’m looking for.

  2. Once it’s filled in the whole page (including images) then gets emailed to the entered recipient.

What initially appeared simple, has actually stumped me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Scott,
I’ve always been reluctant to open up the PHP Feedback Form Action to this sort of functionality simply because it is so easy for the form to be abused by those using it to send spam to whoever they like.

Ultimately you could open up the PHP file the action creates (it gets called [your page name]-go.php) and add support for this by setting the recipient as the result of the form field. You would also need to swap the plain text email output to support HTML and insert the code for the HTML itself.
All of this can be done but, as I say, it is all too easy for this to be abused.

If you don’t fancy rolling up your sleeves and tackling the PHP changes (I can’t blame you if you don’t) then have a search on HotScripts.com (Postcards | Scripts & Programs - 14 scripts/listings (in PHP) for example) and I’m sure you will find something suitable for the job.
Regards,
Tim.
