Hi,

You can customize all the templates as desired in PHP (you can’t load them into the drag & drop form builder)

The drag & drop form builder can do many things but not everything. Step forms have to be coded in PHP.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Hi Onore,

I tested with this code and the “contact form 1” template, and it works, the submit button is disabled:

<script>
var fvCallback = function() {
    var form = forms['contact-form-1'];

    // form.fv is the validator
    // you can then use the formvalidation plugin API
    form.fv.on('core.form.invalid', function() {
        console.log('invalid');
        const submitButton = document.querySelector('#contact-form-1 button[type="submit"]');
        submitButton.setAttribute('disabled', true);
    });
};
</script>

So I think you have a problem with your own code.

Thank you. Yes some “our” strange code activate this btn again. We will be found the solution.

This work $form->addPlugin(‘select2-ajax’, ’#xxx’, ‘default’, [‘theme’ => ‘clean’, ‘language’ => ‘uk’]);

I was planning to work on an example and put it online to help you, but haven’t had time to do it yet. Indeed, select2 needs you to send him the theme and the language, now I think you don’t need my help anymore?

I have another simple question for you. It have just published it here.

The several examples in documentation about how work with custom plugin will be amazing and might save your and user time. IMHO

Hi,

Yes you can. You have to attach an event on select change, then fetch the results from your database with Ajax.

Here’s an example: https://www.phpformbuilder.pro/templates/bootstrap-5-forms/dependent-select-dropdown.php

Awesome, thanks for your prompt response. Are there directions available on how to do that. Sorry I am not very knowledgeable in this area, just this for an inventory control project. Thanks again.

I don’t know your project, but did you check my PHP CRUD Generator?

If you want an admin dashboard with lists of your database content it’ll be a perfect tool for you.

If your database relations are properly made you can filter the lists and what you were asking for in your previous comment is a built-in feature.

For instance, you can list your products, select a city in the filter and see only the products of this city.

You won’t have to code with it. You generate your admin dashboard with the Generator, which allows you to configure everything.

If you want more information you can reach me on the chat at https://www.phpcrudgenerator.com/

Thanks to you Onore.

(if you like PHP Form Builder please don’t forget to rate it!)

Done.

Oh nice! Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for purchase.

Please could you email me your 2 purchase codes?

I’ll check the licensing system and tell you which domains are registered. Feel free to send me all the information I might need: which domain is “in use by another client”, which domain(s) you want to remove, ...

Gilles

I already sent it

Thanks, I answered your email

sorry this is wrong place… please ignore..

I went back to localhost install, I see that the db-connect.php file is written and contains the same connections string to my Mamp localhost mysql server that other applications use. Apparently the database connections worked but now the same Error “Unfortunately, installation failed because of this reason: The maximum number of allowed PHP CRUD Generator installations (2 installation(s) total) reached” Stuck.

the only place I have ever tried to install this application is in on a localhost machine.

Hello,

Thanks for purchase.

You have left 4 rather long comments, I paste them below with my point by point answers.

“Unfortunately, installation failed because of this reason: The maximum number of allowed PHP CRUD Generator installations (2 installation(s) total) reached”

The answer is here in the documentation:

https://www.phpcrudgenerator.com/help-center#maximum-number-of-allowed-installations-reached

Each Regular License allows 2 installations – 1 for your development server (localhost), the other on production server.

You can reinstall anywhere & at any time, but you can’t have more than 2 simultaneous installations activated.

You have to uninstall PHPCG before reinstalling elsewhere.

I tried several times with a new Mamp install on my machine. I left the password as I saw it wrapped by % % Tried several times on initial install with different passwords when install failed with rejected database connection.

The ”%” are placeholders. You just have to enter your credentials into the target fields.

Now I think I have the correct password without these %% wrapped around it but I get this error and can not continue. I have read every link but the “license” details are very unclear.

Here are the license details from Envato: https://codecanyon.net/licenses/standard

And in PHP CRUD Generator’s documentation: https://www.phpcrudgenerator.com/tutorials/about-php-crud-generator-license

I have never installed this application online. But licensing does not permit localhost as an install.

No, this is not true. Same answer as #1, explained in the documentation: Each Regular License allows 2 installations – 1 for your development server (localhost), the other on production server.

You can reinstall anywhere & at any time, but you can’t have more than 2 simultaneous installations activated.

You have to uninstall PHPCG before reinstalling elsewhere.

So, I have to put in ONE http/s url even if I don’t know if I will wind up installing the application online. All my work is done localhost first.

Here’s How to use PHPCG on a localhost and a remote server: https://www.phpcrudgenerator.com/tutorials/how-to-use-phpcg-on-a-localhost-and-a-remote-server

Apparently, to be clear to install this program now on my localhost, I must purchase another license at $40. Extending support purchase is not enough.

No. You can install on both localhost and a remote server with a single regular license (I already mentioned this in the previous answers.)

You should provide a code that is embedded in an online application. So that I can install localhost as many times as I need, for instance, on several machines—a work laptop that travels and my development machine at home. And not count as an installation until the INSTALLATION FINISHES. Your application registers an installation failure as an instance that is counted against “2 installations”.

No, that’s not true.

1. If you want to use on several localhost instances (several computers, ...) you have to install on the first one, then copy the files and database to the others. If you use the same hostname it’ll work perfectly.

2. If you open the installer at the same place where you installed it (same hostname and same database) you’ll see that the script is already installed. Then you can enter your purchase code to uninstall and reinstall anywhere.

You should allow open localhost installations that are completed successfully.

And then when I decide to put up an admin dashboard online at a host I embed the authorization code so that it can be checked as One Online installation.

I don’t understand exactly why you would open the program before finishing the installation successfully. And I can’t and have no reason to disallow any local URL.

So, if I pay $40 will this give me ONE online domain installation? And a localhost installation of the FormBuilder itself?

I think I already answered this point several times:

Each Regular License allows 2 installations – 1 for your development server (localhost), the other on production server.

You can reinstall anywhere & at any time, but you can’t have more than 2 simultaneous installations activated.

https://www.phpcrudgenerator.com/help-center#maximum-number-of-allowed-installations-reached

I went back to localhost install, I see that the db-connect.php file is written and contains the same connections string to my Mamp localhost mysql server that other applications use. Apparently the database connections worked but now the same Error “Unfortunately, installation failed because of this reason: The maximum number of allowed PHP CRUD Generator installations (2 installation(s) total) reached” Stuck.

If your connection now works it means that you previously entered some wrong credentials to connect to your database.

the only place I have ever tried to install this application is in on a localhost machine.

Yes, but I guess that you installed at 2 different URLs (hostnames). So you have to uninstall before reinstalling elsewhere.

If you can’t uninstall (if you have removed your hostnames and files for instance):

please send me your purchase code and I’ll remove your installation manually from the licensing server.

Hello,

Yes you can, everything is explained on the website, you can test the drag & drop form builder and get the source code in the demo.

Hello,

Did you purchase PHP Form Builder?

What you’re asking for can easily be done in adding a small Ajax script to your page.

My mail Is bassdeth@gmail.com

Hello,

Sorry my answer comes a bit late. I answered your email.

Hello,

Yes of course. Please purchase the CRUD then ask for a refund from your Codecanyon account and I’ll accept it.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,

Gilles

Hi,

Thanks for purchase.

You should at first download the latest version on Codecanyon. Then you’ll find some multi-step forms examples in the templates, e.g: https://www.phpformbuilder.pro/templates/index.php?framework=bootstrap-5&forms=step

Finally if you need more help please email me your FTP access and URL.

Gilles

I found it in templates. But how can I edit an emplate in Phpformbuilder?

You can copy the code into any file on your server, then customize it.

The step forms can’t be done with the drag and drop tool, you have to use the functions to add fields and setup your forms.

I don’t have any idea of your coding skills, but if you want me to help you to debug your forms I can help you for free, else if you want me to code them I’d need all the forms details, and may work for you as a Freelancer.

Hello Peter,

Hello Peter,

All the PHP code is on the server side, so it’s not exposed to any bot. When the URL is called by the browser it goes to your server.

Then your server does the work, just like if it was a software on your computer (it validates the posted data then sends the email).

Finally your server sends the page content back to the browser with the confirmation message. As you can see the PHP code is executed on your own server and never goes away from it.

When I want to show an email address on a page (which the forms don’t do) I always use this function:

public static function hexaEncode($str) // encode email addresses
{
    $long=strlen($str);
    $output = '';
    for ($i=0; $i<$long; $i++) {
        $output .= '' . bin2hex(substr($str, $i, 1)) . ';';
    }

    return $output;
}

It returns an encoded code, harder for bots to understand that it’s an email address.

Hello,

Yes, indeed everything is possible. If you need some calculations you have to code them in PHP.

If you buy the package and can send me some clear specifications I may do the job for you (as a Freelancer job)

Gilles

thank you. can I store the forms in database?

An excellent database PDO wrapper is provided, the documentation is here: http://phpformbuilder/documentation/class-doc.php#database-overview

and more details with all the functions and code examples here: https://www.phpformbuilder.pro/documentation/db-help.php

Hello,

Everything is explained here: https://www.phpformbuilder.pro/documentation/help-center.php#reinstall-phpfb

Hi,

This should work fine:

document.getElementById("name").required = false;

Or

document.getElementById("name").removeAttribute('required');

Hello Thomani60,

This is not an error. In the Quickstart guide:

Add the phpformbuilder folder at the root of your project .

If you want to put the phpformbuilder folder inside a subfolder, please read this to avoid PHP errors or warnings.

Hi Hoodvisions,

Thanks for purchase, and don’t worry about expired support, I’m still available.

You can find here how to get the uploaded file name: https://www.phpformbuilder.pro/documentation/javascript-plugins.php#fileuploader (scroll down to “To deal with the posted uploaded files“).

All the $_POST keys/values are dispatched in the email template’s table.

The trick is to replace the posted image value with the URL you want.

Here’s a sample code:

// once the form is validated
if (isset($_POST['user-logo']) && !empty($_POST['user-logo'])) {
    $posted_img = FileUploader::getPostedFiles($_POST['user-logo']);
    $filename   = $posted_img[0]['file'];
    // Here I replace the $_POST value with the image URL
    $_POST['user-logo'] = '<a href="https://www.domain.com/uploads/' . $filename . '">' . $filename . '</a>';
}

If you need more help please email me your FTP access and URL then I’ll have a look.

Hi Gilles, many thanks for the help!! I failed horribly, asked a friend and we managed to somehow inject the filename into the mailing template by hacking one of the color variables. There was no way the mailing would take any input from the array after the message fields.

However, one more question: Right now anyone can upload images to the webserver at any time, even without submitting the form at all. Browse images, upload, and they’re in the folder. No need to fill out email etc. or send the form. So basically it’s a free server for possible illegal content. Is there any (easy!) way to force the file uploader stuff to only deploy the file on the webserver AFTER the user has submitted the form?

I see different possibilities.

1. Remove the file uploader plugin and use a simple input[type=”file”]. Then the file will be uploaded when the form is posted.
2. Make a 2-steps form with the uploader in the 2nd step
3. Create a first folder and PHP script to delete all the files inside it let’s say every five minutes. Upload the images from the uploader inside this first folder. Then when the form is posted, move the uploaded file from the first folder to a second one.

If you need anything else you’re welcome,
