Can I use PHP instead of HTML for my templates?

Can I use PHP instead of HTML for my templates?

It would be more convenient than having to update the HTML page manually every time I changed something in the PHP includes files.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

After some searching, I see that it is possible.

Using the http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/contactform1.php with fmbadhandler.php, I keep getting the message:

neither TEMPLATEDIR nor TEMPLATEURL is set

even though I have set

$TEMPLATEURL ="http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/pftemplate";

in http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/processform.php and

    <input type="hidden" name="bad_url" value="http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/fmbadhandler.php" />
    <input type="hidden" name="bad_template" value="sorry.php" />

in http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/contactform1.php


Alternately, I tried using my own Javascript validation with this form http://www.pikespeakashrae.net/membershipform1.php, and the validation works, but when the form submits, I get this error

An error occurred while processing the form .

Our staff have been alerted to the error .
We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused. Your form submission was processed by (7.11), available from www.tectite.com.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you set TEMPLATEURL in both formmail.php and fmbadhandler? It looks like everything is in the root? Maybe try setting a seperate folder for the templates then point to it. I have mine set mywebsite.com/forms/fmtemplates/ and the pointer $TEMPLATEDIR = "fmtemplates"; I use the TEMPLATEDIR then all the forms in the formmail/ along with formmail.php and fmbadhandler and all the templates in /formmail/fmtemplates/

See it that works for you.

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

I didn't set $TEMPLATEURL in the fmbadhandler.php.

Now I have and it's working.

YAY! Thanks so much for your help!
