Hi,
As an update - I read Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8 (I
have CS4 Dreamweaver but it’s still a good book).
In it, the author claims, that InterAKT has a product called
“MX Send Email” in the MX Kollection 3 suite of
Dreamweaver extensions, which automates the process of writing the
php script to process and send web email form data from forms
created in Dreamweaver, to the mail server. I went to their site
and it re directs to Adobe, and Adobe claims that they acquired
InterAKT a few years ago and included the above product in the
Developers Toolbox.
I downloaded the developers toolbox yesterday and for the
life of me I can’t figure out where I could find it or how it
works. Which makes me wonder if I should plunk down an extra 300
bucks for the developers toolbox, documentation is spotty at best
– I can’t find any books or discussion forums on the
developers toolbox or how to do this. Can someone give me some info
here about this?
It seems to me there should be a simple way to generate some
PHP script for feedback forms created in Dreamweaver, especially if
I have the Developers toolkit. If I can’t even do a simple
email feedback form with Dreamweaver then what’s the
point…my other alternative is to buy a third part extension
for 30 bucks, but if the toolkit has it somewhere, where is the
documentation or tutorial on the adobe web site (which I dug for
almost all day yesterday?
The Dev Toolkit has an option to insert a Captcha image so I
assume it's possible to do that too...
Or, Are there any on line tutorials which instruct on how to
create an email "Contact Us" form with Dreamweaver 4, and includes
demonstrating how to for the PHP scripting?? EIther video or text?
If so where could I find it - them? And include info on writing the
php script to process form data and send it to mail server? Adobe
has one for Dreamweaver CS 3 on their site - but even that section
of the adobe site is not updated for CS4 and the tutorial even
claims that the Developers toolkit is not ready for DW CS4, which
contradicts the system requirements for the Dev Toolkit when one
downloads it.
