[Solved] Integrating PHP issues

[hideaki]

Hi,

I'm new to PrestaShop, jsut started learning it only 2 days ago. I would like to have a custom Contact Us page, and try messing around with .php and .tpl files. However, I was wondering whether it's possible to include a chunk of PHP code mixed with HTML in the .tpl file? The code goes:

<?php
if(isset($_POST['send'])){
   $emailFrom = "[email protected]";
   $emailTo = "[email protected]";
   $subject = "Contact Form Submission";

   $name = strip_tags($_POST['name']); 
   $email = strip_tags($_POST['email']); 
   $message = strip_tags(stripslashes($_POST['message'])); 

   $body = "Name: ".$name."\n";
   $body .= "Email: ".$email."\n";
   $body .= "Message: ".$message."\n";

   $headers = "From: ".$emailFrom."\n";
   $headers .= "Reply-To:".$email."\n";    

   if($_SESSION['security_code'] == $_POST['security_code']){
       $success = mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
       if ($success){
       echo '
Your enquiry has been sent and we will get back to you shortly.';
       } 
   } else {
       echo '
Please enter the CAPTCHA code again.';
   }
} else {
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" id="contact" name="contact">

Name
       <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="required" minlength="2"/>

E–mail
       <input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="required email"/>

Message
       <textarea id="message" name="message" cols="50" rows="10" class="required"></textarea>

Are you human?

Enter captcha
       <input type="text" id="security_code" name="security_code" autocomplete="off" class="required"/>

Send!

</form>

<?php } ?>

How should I go about incorporating this script with the .tpl/.php files? I hope someone can provide me with suggestions. Thanks!

Hi,

The best way to do this is:

In the .php file, instead of "echo":

if ($success)
{
 $smarty->assign('success', 1);
}
else
{
 $smarty->assign('error', 1);
}

and then in the .tpl file:

{if isset($success) && $success == 1}

Your enquiry has been sent and we will get back to you shortly.
{/if}

{if isset($error) && $error == 1}

Please enter the CAPTCHA code again.
{/if}

I hope this helps

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for your quick reply. However, I'm unaware of how I should break down the codes to the .php and .tpl files respectively. If you noticed the codes I mentioned above, you can simply put them all (both the code and design) in a regular .php file and it will work fine. The reason I'm confused is that there's a break of PHP coding for HTML form in between that goes:

} else {
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post" id="contact" name="contact">

Name
       <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="required" minlength="2"/>

E–mail
       <input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="required email"/>

Message
       <textarea id="message" name="message" cols="50" rows="10" class="required"></textarea>

Are you human?

Enter captcha
       <input type="text" id="security_code" name="security_code" autocomplete="off" class="required"/>

Send!

</form>

<?php } ?>

And the PHP code continues with a simple closure. How do I break this code, and which part should go into the .php and .tpl files?

[Bruno Leveque]

This whole "else" part should be in the .tpl file, delete it from the PHP.

Then in the .tpl put:

>
{if !isset($smarty.post.send)}
<form action="{$request_uri}" method="post" id="contact" name="contact">
</pre>
<fieldset>
Name
       <input type="text" id="name" name="name" class="required" minlength="2"/>

E–mail
       <input type="text" id="email" name="email" class="required email"/>

Message
       <textarea id="message" name="message" cols="50" rows="10" class="required"></textarea>

Are you human?

Enter captcha
       <input type="text" id="security_code" name="security_code" autocomplete="off" class="required"/>

Send!
</fieldset>
<br></form&gt

Note that I replaced the form action value by $request_uri (a Smarty global variable in PrestaShop).
