Hi Brian,
Yes you are right, all I wanted to make was a simple form to collect name and email address and have the "submit" button send the data to a script. (Yes Eric, the script already exists. It issues unique licence keys to our software purchasers, sends that info out to the submitter in a personalised email, sends a copy to me, adds them to a database and mailing list etc) So the form is really just a simple "front end" to that automated process.
When you make up a form in WebPLus X7 it asks "where should the form data be sent when the form is submitted?" You are then given a number of options to just tick, including "an email address, a script on my hard drive or a remote script" So in my case, as you say, I just enter the url of the remote script into a little box that appears when you choose the remote script option, and tick POST (GET is the other option). Job done.
I can easily change a line of php code, but where would I find the file in question please? My exported code folder contains a file in the root, then a folder containing many other files inside various sub folders. I took a quick look but did not spend time on it, since I knew I could just go and make it up easily in WebPLus; it was only simple name and email fields.
But it would be useful to get my head around this for future reference so that all forms on a site could easily be made to have the consistent style. I am happily using the Coffeecup forms on all my sites for contact, info etc. As an aside, I am a non coder kind of guy, so obviously did not write the script to which I wanted to send the data!
Thanks
Peter
