Could use some custom PHP form help!
Permalink
I'm trying to find what (I THOUGHT) was simple enough to do... and I'm finding it harder and harder as I spend hour after hour killing myself over it!
I need a form to do simply this:
1. collect some basic information
2. use a captcha to block out spam
3. contain a file upload function that will email that very same file, along with the notification email that goes out with all the rest of the form data. (**This is the most important part!!)
I could sure use something simple, don't care who makes it, as long as it works with concrete5! I thought I had it resolved -- the working form is here:
http://ohiovalleyhospital.org/apply_form/form.php...
However, it will not function if I curl it into another php page (using InCurl -- an add-on in the marketplace) nor as an external form. It works perfectly by itself, though.
OBVIOUSLY, this is not the solution for me... but the possibilities out there are endless, and I can't keep blindly downloading, learning new scripts and configuring them, only to find out it is not compatible with c5!
Any suggestions? Any form scripts any of you used in the past that can handle my needs that will work?
Thanks for the help!

Nope! Unfortunately not -- it is worded poorly in the description, making it seem like an uploaded file could be attached to the notification email.
Well, I bought it, and learned AFTER the fact that it does not work for me and what I need to have happen.
Buyer beware, eh? :)

It clearly states in the extended-form description that you can attach uploads to notification emails... contact the dev to see how it's done.. and if it cant be done then Franz will almost certainly refund you.
kind of
basically you use the api to add a file via post, then you can pass that into your mail helper via a getDownloadUrl for the file in question, building the body manually or using a mail template.
extending this through existing an existing marketplace package isn't something I know anything about, but you can accomplish this without it.

This is correct -- as I did contact the developer, and that is what he told me. It is loosely worded, and could have been (and WAS) misinterpreted to mean what you're suggesting, Jimbo!

I am not understanding the problem you are having, but thats just me being slow.
Just a few questions. Is there a particular reason the form is being curled into the page rather than using an "External Form", and a "single page" for processing?

I think he's trying to actually attach an uploaded file to the submitted email. Normally, a file upload element in the extended form just uploads it to the file manager, doesn't attach it to the submitted email.
I believe this behavior has changed with v. 1.5 of the extended form? I think the original user's posts were a little bit before 1.5 was released.
