I figured
out a way to do this (the problem outlined in the original email
below), but it doesn't really use phorm. If there is a way to use
phorm, I'd still like to hear about that. I used _javascript_ to populate a hidden form field with the URL's for the requested sample reports. Something like this: <script language="_javascript_" TYPE="text/_javascript_"> <!-- // <!-- _javascript_ to build samples list --> function buildLinksList(){
with (document.sampleRequest) {
samplesList.value = "" samplesFileList.value = "" if (Enterprise.checked) {
samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Enterprise_Sample.pdf\n\n" samplesFileList.value = samplesFileList.value + "Enterprise_Sample.pdf\n" } if (SmallBusiness.checked) {
samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Small_Business_Sample.pdf\n\n" samplesFileList.value = samplesFileList.value + "Small_Business_Sample.pdf\n" } if (ClimatePLUS.checked) {
samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Climate_Plus_Sample.pdf\n\n" samplesFileList.value = samplesFileList.value + "Climate_Plus_Sample.pdf\n" } if (Leadership360.checked) {
samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Leadership_360_Sample.pdf\n\n" samplesFileList.value = samplesFileList.value + "Leadership_360_Sample.pdf\n" } if (BoardEffectiveness.checked) {
samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Effectiveness_Sample.pdf\n\n" samplesFileList.value = samplesFileList.value + "Effectiveness_Sample.pdf\n" } if (samplesList.value == "") {
samplesList.value = " No sample reports requested\n" samplesFileList.value = " No sample reports requested\n" } else {
} } // End with (document.sampleRequest) return true } //--> </script>======================== I am sure there may be more elegant ways to do this, but this works. All I have to do is use either {{samplesList}} in the email sent to the visitor and {{samplesFileList}} in the email sent to the web site owner. However, this method would reveal the location of all the sample reports if they wanted to view the source of the samples request page. Not likely for this group of visitors. They are expected to mostly be upper level management for Fortune 500 companies. And, as my client says, if they have the time and inclination to poke around in the HTML to bypass giving him their contact info, he doesn't want them as clients anyway. ;-) But as I was building this, I wondered if there were, or would be, a need for a phorm plug-in that would allow encrypted hidden fields. I envisioned that as a two piece utility. One piece would be a PHP page where the web designer could enter the data they wanted encrypted and a key, and it would encrypt the data and present it for them to copy and paste in to the web page. The other piece would be the actual PHP plug-in. There would also have to be a way to indicate to phorm that the field needed to be decrypted; maybe a parameter in the config file to indicate all the encrypted fields like is used to indicate the fields that will be written to a text file or DB. and I'd think it would be fine to give phorm the key via the config file. That way I could have turned this: samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "http://www.MyDomain.com/samples/Leadership_360_Sample.pdf\n\n" into something like this: samplesList.value = samplesList.value + "ft56H285h&ehrk8Hwurh682jtmsyhe968jdytKtHkiwjct38yjstge" making it unintelligible to anyone viewing the source of that page. I doubt I have the time or the PHP expertise yet to do this, so I just thought I'd think out loud In case it makes sense to some one else.
