Forms Processor Parameters

Contents Index of Parameters Search the Forms Processor Docs

email_subject

This parameter allows you to define the subject of an "unformatted" email message sent from a form (form data is sent "unformatted" when you do not have a configuration file for the form, or when you use the email parameter to email your form results). The default value for the email subject if you do not set this parameter is the form name (defined by one of two required hidden fields in your form) followed by the word "form". For example, the default subject for an email message containing the data from a form named subscribe would be "subscribe form".

This parameter can be set in one of two ways:
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=email_subject VALUE="string">
$email_subject="string";

string - The words you would like to appear as the subject of the email message.: string - The words you would like to appear as the subject of the email message.

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="email_subject" value="Someone Submitted My Form!">

<input type=text name=customer_input value="">

<input type=submit>
</form>

Example of use in a form configuration file:

$email="name@isp.com";

$email_subject="Someone Submitted My Form!";

# having the above in your configuration file will cause unformatted data from the form to be emailed to "name@isp.com" with "Someone Submitted My Form!" as the subject.
