For those of you who are trying to get the standalone version to update a table on a mysql database, after loads of searching and playing I have got it to work like this. I added this code:

$con = mysql_connect(”host”,”user”,”password”);
if (!$con)
{
die(’Could not connect: ‘ . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db(”dbname”, $con);
$sql=”INSERT INTO tablename (fm_firstname, fm_lastname, fm_email, fm_etc, fm_etc)
VALUES
(’$_POST[fm_firstname]‘,’$_POST[fm_lastname]‘,’$_POST[fm_email]‘,’$_POST[fm_etc]‘,’$_POST[fm_etc]‘)”;

if (!mysql_query($sql,$con))
{
die(’Error: ‘ . mysql_error());
}

mysql_close($con);

after this bit:

$o .= ‘‘;

} else {

in the script around line 1750 ish.

Not sure if its the best way to do it, but I found that it wont update the db unless the form is filled in correctly, which is what I wanted.
Hope this helps.

The script is not working, I’ve checked everything and it seems alright… It won’t send the e-mail to me.

Is there any way to style the input box (in FF) for the Browse button: input#fm_upload.fmfile? If I could just make the borders plain black 1px lines, even that would help.

Sure, I can have fun drinking, but I need a place to walk and hike and get away from cement. ,

Has anyone managed to get the form fields to save to a data file? I have tried using a .txt file and a .csv file with 777 permissions but no fields are populating. The $save_path = ‘data.csv’; is relative to the dd-formmailer.php file. I have set $save_to_file = TRUE; and $save_email = TRUE; I have not modified anything below ** END OF OPTIONS. Can anyone give me any advise or tell me if I am missing anything? Thanks.

I have been using this plugin for a few months without problem, but now users are getting the following error message when submitting forms: “No verification code generated”. I would be appreciative if anyone can assist with info to help fix. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys, anyone found a solution yet for linking to a custom errorpage? or even better staying on the same page as the submit form but highlighted the error fields?

Highly appreciated

Firstly this is a great script and easy to set up for normal implementations.

One observation regarding the advice above to change “_POST” to “_REQUEST” to prepopulate fields – my reading of the script is that this won’t work even if values are passed in the query string because it only populates data into the form if the “$form_submitted” variable is set, so it needs some tweaks elsewhere in the code too. (At least that’s what I found on my install but I might be missing something!)

I noticed from your script that i just now downloaded that you have incorporated UTF-8 encoding into the forms message fields.

However, the Subject line is not coming out in UTF-8 as i just tested with some German letters.
Where in the script would i have to add what lines of code to also turn the subject line output into UTF-8 format?
