Hi JoseLeon,

On my web site www.thebatteryshoppe.com are seven forms available if
you click the ?Contact Us? link in the left margin.  Six of the forms
are visible by clicking one of the first six links on the
wwww.thebatteryshoppe.com/contact_us.php web site page and the seventh
form is visible at the bottom of the ?Contact Us? web page.

The bottom form all I need you to do is limit the input to 1000
characters.  Otherwise I?m satisfied with it at this time.

However, the other forms don?t have what I call proper functionality. 
They will email to me when someone clicks the submit button, but they,
for example, will not verify that the entered email addresses are the
same, and won?t say who the form is from in the top of the email, etc.
 What I would like these forms to do I think can best be explained by
example.

Most of the scripts for this functionality has been done once for a
previous web site, so you may not need to create them all from
scratch, unless it?s easier for you to do that.  The old scripts can
be found in the root of my web site, http://www.thebatteryshoppe.com
if they are needed.

I placed a word document on my site called www.thebatteryshoppe.com/JoseLeon1.doc

It will have the details of what I'd like done.  Download it and look
at the forms on the "contact us" web page to let me know what you
think.  I think it will be pretty easy compared to some of the things
you've done for me in the past.

Thank you.

Steve

Hello, stevep234:
  I see you have changed to osC Max, good choice ;-)

  By the way, can you send me the access information to your host? You
can upload it as in previous times here:

http://www.xpde.com/upload.php

I have tried with the previous info and it doesn't work.

Regards.

Hi JoseLeon,

I have put tut the passwords into the upload link you gave me.

And if you have any suggestions on anything, please let me know.  Are
you familiar with the affiliate module for this program?

Thank you.

Hello, stevep234:
  I have changed the way the form #1 sends the submitted data to you,
I have used the process of your previous form1_proc.php so it must be
the way you want it.

I have not done anything more yet, so tell me if the form #1 sends the
data the way you want it and I will do the rest of forms.

Later I will limit the textboxes, I will check for valid e-mail
addresses and I will require non-optional fields.

Regarding osCommerce I'm very familiar with it, it's a great part of
my job. If you need anything, just tell me.

Regards.

hi Jose,

Yes, the form all looked ok except the "Type of Device" in Step 1.  If
someone enters information in the "Explain Here if Other" box in Step
1 it is not transmitted to the email I receive.

My only other request is to have <!-- VERY CLEAR COMMENTS LIKE THIS
--> in the files in all caps above the email title and email body text
so I can find them and make changes myself in the future.  For
example, I may want to change the subject line from "Product Price and
Availability Request" to simply "Price and Availability Request", as
an example.  And if a similar change must be made in more than one
place or on more than one file, please say in the comment.

Thank you.

Hello,
  I have finished modifying all the forms to send the right data to
your e-mail, also, validations are performed on required fields.

I still have to validate some e-mail addresses, limit text areas and
modify the confirmation page to return to the referer. I will finish
this asap.

Regards.

Hi Jose,

They are working great!  Form 5 is missing, but I'm sure its something
minor in the link.  My only additional requset would be to have some
of the button choices set initially to a default selection.

After these forms are complete, please set aside some time for another
different project on my osc web site.  I will post it on google
answers immediately after forms are completed.  It will take a little
more time (and more money) but it's important that it be done as soon
as possible.

Thank you.

Please have the folllowing defaults set on the following forms:
Defaults for Form1 and Form 2: 
Step1: Mr.
Type of Device: Camcorder
Step2 Product Price and Availability Request: Yes
Is this a Rebuild Request: No

Defaults for Form 3:
Step1: Mr.
Step2: The item is defective
Step3: Exchange
Step4: notified of announcements in the future: Yes

Defaults for Form 4:
Step1: Mr.
Step2: notified of announcements in the future: Yes

On Form 4 the address1 and address2 does not properly appear in the
email.  It looks like code from another form without the address
information appearing in the email.

Form 5 the link exchange form is completely missing.

Defaults for Form 6:
Step1: Mr.
Step2 Question 8: Set All defaults to first choice
Question 12: Absolutely
Question 15: notified of announcements in the future: Yes

Thank you.

Thanks.

Hello, stevep234:

I have finished all the remaining features:

-Email addresses are validated using regular expressions
-All text area fields have been limited to 1000 chars
-I have set all the default options on each form
-I have fixed the problem with form 5
-I have fixed the problem with form 4 addresses
-I have set the return page to return to the referer page in 30
seconds or with a click

Please, test it and tell me if everything works as expected. 

Regarding more work on your site, just tell me and I will see if I
have time to do it by the deadline you need it. Thanks for count on me
again.

Regards.

Hi Jose,

I still have a couple minor fixes or explanations needed here but its
more important that you start to work on the next question first, then
we'll address those fixes later.

Thanks.

Hi Jose,

When people ask, what date should I tell them the affiliate program
will be operational?  I have been telling them in about a week, does
that date seem ok to tell them or too early?

Thanks.

Hi Jose,

How is your schedule?  I have at least 2 more urgent projects for you
to work on, but if you're too busy, please let me know and I will go
elsewhere for them.  And what about my current project, are you
interested and want this job or not?  Your response is very vague. 
Please let me know your intentions about the affiliate project.

Thank you.

hi Jose,
It's been a long time, I hope you are well.  It appears that
google-answers will be discontinued.  Does that mean you are open to
take on other outside programming jobs?  Please let me know if you got
this communication.
Thank you.
