Contact Form Example - lokothodida/DM_Matrix GitHub Wiki

This is a brief walkthrough on how to set up a basic feedback form. Visitors can submit queries that can then be viewed in the back-end of the site (via The Matrix tab in the table view).

Build a table with the following properties

• Name: contact
• Fields:
  • Name: title, Type: textlong
  • Name: email, Type: email
  • Name: date, Type: datetimelocal, Read Only: readonly, Visibility: Invisible in form
  • Name: content, Type: bbcodeeditor
• Max Records: 0

<?php
  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']=='POST') {
    $success = $var->createRecord('contact', $_POST);
    if ($success) echo '<p class="success">Success! Your message has been sent.</p>';
    else          echo '<p class="error">Error! Your message has not been sent. Try again later.</p>';
  }
?>

<form method="post">
  <?php $var->displayForm('contact'); ?>
  <button>Submit Form</button>
</form>
