Now I am stomped! URL for redirect

[sigurdur]

OK, now I am stomped. Everything is working except for the URL for redirect from the fmbadhandler error page back to the form. If I leave the
$TARGET_URLS = array();
empty I get the error page with the errors but no URL. If I try to set the target URL as follows (I am testing the website on a remote machine with an IP address but no domain name yet)
$TARGET_URLS = array("xxx.xxx.x.xxx/");
(where xxx.xxx.x.xxx is the public IP of my server)
I get redirected from the form but no error page appears, just an empty window with the following in the top bar:
http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx/fmbadhandler.ph...index.php?34&i
where index.php?id32 is the value I entered for this_form and index.php?id=34 is the value for bad_template in my form.

Any thoughts?

Best regards
Sigurdur

Hi,

Mmmmm....we haven't tested this with IP addresses instead of domain names.

However, I've had a quick look at the code for fmbadhandler.php and formmail.php and I can't see any reasons why an IP address won't work.

I'll do some tests today to confirm that IP addresses will work.

In the meantime, make sure the "this_form" field is a full URL - "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/yourform.htm".

Nope, doesn't work, even with the full url.

Hi,

OK. IP addresses work fine.

What you need to do is set $TARGET_URLS with "http://":

$TARGET_URLS = array("http://10.0.0.1/");                   // default; no URLs 

And in your form, you need:

<input type="hidden" name="this_form" value="http://10.0.0.1/yourform.htm" />

I'll be out for the rest of the day (it's Sunday 11am here), so if you're still stuck, you can email me your scripts and form and I'll check them out for you later today.
