Form handling...

[wazir]

Hi guys...

just two questions... i need some help creating a form which when submited, first it logs into a file, the sends the user a confirmation email.

I know how to do this with CGI but CF is kinda diffrent. Yes i realize this is a very begginer question, anyone have any links that cover CF form handling well ?

thanks to anyone who can help.

Regarding your question.

I usually logs the information in a database.

All forms require two page. Form and action.

Code for form page :
<cfform action=&quot;createAction.cfm&quot; method=&quot;POST&quot; enablecab=&quot;Yes&quot;>
ID :
<cfinput type=&quot;Text&quot; name=&quot;series&quot;>

<input type=&quot;submit&quot; value=&quot;Submit&quot;>
</cfform>



Codes for Action page :
<Cfquery name=&quot;addSeries&quot; Datasource=&quot;comMart&quot; dbtype=&quot;ODBC&quot;>
Insert INTO Series(Name, BrandID)
Values ('#Form.series#')
</cfquery>


As for the email. It could be on the same page as the action page. The following is how i would sent an email.

<CFMAIL
FROM=&quot;jansen_chiefs@yahoo.com&quot;
TO=&quot;#form.email#&quot;
SUBJECT=&quot;About your id&quot;
>
You have requested for your ID.
<br>
Your ID is #getID.ID#
</cfmail>


Hope this helps..
