functionality included?

[hbreak]

hi, the formmail setup looks good, a few questions

I want to add a form to multiple pages on my site, each form to contain a different email address to send to. does formmail have any features for managing multiple email addresses?
Is it OK for multiple forms all to use the same csv?
If possible I'd really like to use an include to pull the form on to each page with different variable (email address).

as above, I have many different email addresses to many different domains. i want to hide the email addresses, i see the javascript option but there are also many references by russelr that this feature would be available soon (several months ago) in a config file which sounds ideal. is this functionality included or whats the best method for hiding email addresses when multiple emails being used?

is there any code/instructions for connecting to a mysql backend? the script describes itself as db but I only see csv (flat file). any directions appreciated.

is there script logic to check if either 1 of 2 (or both) form fields has been complete then form is OK?

Thanks

AT_MANGLE is easy. INI file is available in version 7.08 and you can store email addresses in there (not viewable on the web). You can upgrade using the Upgrade Wizard. However, we *still* haven't written the doco for the new features yet.

It comes with an interface to our MySQL-based TectiteCRM.

Yes.

Hi Russel, thanks for the response, a few additional questions
Is there support for 7.08 through the paid option? Happy to pay for support if it's going to achieve what's needed. The secure/hidden email address aspect is extremely important, & since that's not yet documented I wonder if support might be needed.
How secure is the INI? OK for customer email addresses? Would saving the file as .php extension be any better?
The MANGLE function looked great for single domain but from what I recall less friendly when you've got [many] multiple domains, I will take another look.
You're providing a great solution here.

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, you've got the option of waiting until the documentation has been completed or paying for support now to get specific help on version 7.08 features.



How secure is the INI? OK for customer email addresses?


In general, you'd put the INI file outside the web server's document root. Alternatively, you protect it with a .htaccess file. Either way, you don't want web users to be able to download it.



Would saving the file as .php extension be any better?


The INI file is straight text, so you can save it with any extension. But, it makes most sense to save it with ".ini" and then protect it from web download.

Hi,

The INI file feature now has a HOW TO guide (http://www.tectite.com/fmhowto/guides.php).
