Forms Processor Parameters

e_field_separator

This parameter can be set in one of 2 ways:

1. <INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=e_field_separator VALUE="character">
2. $e_field_separator="character";
   
   

   • character - The literal character that you wish to use to separate the fields and their values from other fields and values in an email message generated by a form. The default is the newline(\n). The default makes your email look like this:
     
     input_field_name="data from field"
     input_field_name_2="more data from field"
     
     If you change it to a comma (,) it would look like this:
     
     input_field_name="data from form",input_field_name_2="more data from form"

   • NOTE:
     Form Processor configuration files:
     
     • You cannot us the colon (:) as a separator.
     • If you change the separator to something that is a reserved character in the Form Processor, you must put a backslash (\) in front of it.

Example:

Example of inline form syntax:

<form method=POST action="/cgi-bin/form">
<input type=hidden name=userid value=webcom>
<input type=hidden name=form_name value=testform>

<input type=hidden name=e_field_separator value=",">

<!-- NOTE: if you use the newline (the default anyway) you must escape it 
into it's hex equivelent (%22) so that it isn't interpreted as the end 
of a vlue in a form -->

<input type=submit>
</form>

# changes the separator to , for email

$e_field_separator=",";

$email="webcom@webcom.com";
