I think I can simplify things a bit. First, delete the taken.php file.

Change

if (isset($_POST['number'])) echo $_POST['number']; 
echo '">';
$result = db_query("SELECT *
                    FROM taken
                    ORDER BY number", __FILE__, __LINE__);
while ($column = mysql_fetch_array($result))
  $taken[] = $column['number'];
$numbers = implode(", ",$taken);
echo $numbers;
echo '</TD>


I think your major problem was that you were having the "taken" numbers printed out within the input field. Also, you didn't need to create an entire page. But it's just as easy to put it into the article itself so that if you need to edit it, it's right there for you to work on, rather than having a separate file.

You can add whatvever formatting you want to the numbers. Just be sure that you put it in single quotes. Something like

Code Select Expand


echo '<font color="#000000">' . $numbers . '</font>';


Since at the time of printout, all of the numbers are in one variable, with commas and spaces between them, you can also add text to it, such as

Code Select Expand


echo '<font color="#000000">Numbers taken - ' . $numbers . '</font>';


Of course, I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure I've got all the semi-colons where they need to go.

Hi all,

Ok I am liking this script more and more and using it for various things.  I do have one question that I am trying to do.

I am trying to get in the forum topic that is started in the subject line from the form.  The information I am trying to get on the subject line is from some of the actual stuff in the form.  I have tried removing the ['user']['name'] and adding the field id names from the form and that doesn't work.

Report has been filed for "Series", "Date", Track" instead of the original [Pending] Application of [Membername]

I know the info being posted is from this section:

Code Select Expand

//create new forum post with application

$msgOptions = array(
'id' =>  0 ,
'subject' => '[Pending] Application of ' . $context['user']['name'],
'body' => $postbody ,
'icon' => 'xx',
'smileys_enabled' => true,
'attachments' =>  array(),
);
$topicOptions = array(
'id' => 0 ,
'board' => $board_id,
'poll' =>  null,
'lock_mode' =>  null,
'sticky_mode' =>  null,
'mark_as_read' => true,
);
$posterOptions = array(
'id' => $context['user']['id'],
'name' => $context['user']['name'],
'email' => $user_info['email'],
'update_post_count' => true,
);

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What exactly did you do? Give us the code you used and exactly what you want to accomplish. Details, details, details!!!

Hi JPDeni,

Thanks for the reply

Here is the code I tried to use that will not work for some reason.

Code Select Expand

//create new forum post with application

$msgOptions = array(
'id' =>  0 ,
'subject' => 'Post Race Inspection Report for  ' . $context['series']['date']['track'],
'body' => $postbody ,
'icon' => 'xx',
'smileys_enabled' => true,
'attachments' =>  array(),
);
$topicOptions = array(
'id' => 0 ,
'board' => $board_id,
'poll' =>  null,
'lock_mode' =>  null,
'sticky_mode' =>  null,
'mark_as_read' => true,
);
$posterOptions = array(
'id' => $context['user']['id'],
'name' => $context['user']['name'],
'email' => $user_info['email'],
'update_post_count' => true,

Under the $msgOptions = array(  is what I was trying to modify.  I don't need the username who filed the report listed in the subject line of the forum topic, just the info I listed in my original post above your reply.

Hope this helps

[JPDeni]

Where did you get the value for

Code Select Expand


$context['series']['date']['track'],


What does "doesn't work" mean? Do you get nothing? Do you get an error message? Is there an error in your error log? What happens?

[Chevy21]

The $context['series']['date']['track'] are fields that I am currently using in the form to have a person input value for.

As far as it not working, it only shows "'Post Race Inspection Report for  " which I am wanting it to show EXAMPLE - "'Post Race Inspection Report for Pro Series, Milwaukee, 05/15/08" in the subject line once form has been submitted.  All other information in the body of the topic and email sent shows up properly.

Here is my entire script that I am using.

I see. The $context array is defined elsewhere in SMF, and not in the form script. What you need to use is the $_POST array.
