What is a form handler
A form handler is what takes information sent by a form, processes it then sends it to email.
How do i use the form handler
Using the form handler is quite simple. In the form you've made, What you want to edit is the Action attributes value. (the bit in bold)
This is where the forms data will be sent to be processed, To use the FREE thybag form handler service you need to build a unique URL. A URL generator will be added on thybags site in the near future to make this easier.<form action='URL' method='post' >
For now you will have to make your own.
Step 1
Register an account on http://thybag.co.uk
Step 2
Go to http://thybag.co.uk/index.php?p=handler .
Change your CODE to something other than NO.
Step 3
Now make the URL
Replace the ID With your thybag member id. To find this simply view your profile and copy the number equal to the showuser variable.
Replace the Code With What ever you changed your code to on that handler page.
thybag.co.uk/frm.php?userid=Id&code=Code
Step 4
Now ad the URL in to the form, between the "" on the action.
So for example mine would be
Remember to ad the http:// to the start of the URL string.<form action='http://thybag.co.uk/frm.php?userid=1&code=mycode' method='post' >
Optinal
If you would prefer the form handler to redirect to a page of your choose once sent rather than simply display the default thank you page.
On the end of the URL string just ad &ref=ref
Then replace ref with the URL of the page you would like the form handler to redirect to once the email is sent.
So the complete URL could be thybag.co.uk/frm.php?userid=Id&code=Code&ref=ref
Important
1. Make sure the email for your thybag.co.uk account is the same one as you would like the form handler to send to. As that is where any emails send will go.
2. The form handler may log some emails for security reasons and to prevent abuse.
3. The form handler will automatically log ip's
Extended
This service is still in beta, and is not complete. If you have any problems with it, or any criticisms or ideas to make it easier to use or ad features feel free to post them here, as it will be a great help to me in improving this system.
