I have a custom html calculating form in WordPress. I would like to know whether I can create a button, which first prints /saves the form to PDF, and then email's it to the relevant staff (and also including the person who completed the form) I have this so far, which only sends an email to the address specified in the contact form, and not to a default address as well. <?php /* Template Name: Contact */ ?> <?php if(isset($_POST['submitted'])) { if(trim($_POST['contactName']) === '') { $nameError = 'Please enter your name.'; $hasError = true; } else { $name = trim($_POST['contactName']); } if(trim($_POST['email']) === '') { $emailError = 'Please enter your email address.'; $hasError = true; } else if (!preg_match("/^[[:alnum:]][a-z0-9_.-]*@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}$/i", trim($_POST['email']))) { $emailError = 'You entered an invalid email address.'; $hasError = true; } else { $email = trim($_POST['email']); } if(trim($_POST['comments']) === '') { $commentError = 'Please enter a message.'; $hasError = true; } else { if(function_exists('stripslashes')) { $comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['comments'])); } else { $comments = trim($_POST['comments']); } } if(!isset($hasError)) { $emailTo = get_option('tz_email'); if (!isset($emailTo) || ($emailTo == '') ){ $emailTo = get_option('admin_email'); } $subject = '[PHP Snippets] From '.$name; $body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nComments: $comments"; $headers = 'From: '.$name.' <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email; wp_mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers); $emailSent = true; } } ?> <?php get_header() ?> <div id="container"> <div id="content"> <?php the_post() ?> <div id="post-<?php the_ID() ?>" class="post"> <div class="entry-content"> <form action="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="contactForm" method="post"> <ul> <li> <label for="contactName">Name:</label> <input type="text" name="contactName" id="contactName" value="" /> </li> <li> <label for="email">Email</label> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="" /> </li> <li> <label for="commentsText">Message:</label> <textarea name="comments" id="commentsText" rows="20" cols="30"></textarea> </li> <li> <button type="submit">Send email</button> </li> </ul> <input type="hidden" name="submitted" id="submitted" value="true" /> </form> </div><!-- .entry-content -> </div><!-- .post--> </div><!-- #content --> </div><!-- #container --> <?php get_footer() ?> Code (markup):
Go to the following URL, which is an excellent resource, for an example of how to use PHP to create a PDF file. You can then attach the file to an email you send using the PHP mail function. http://www.sitepoint.com/generate-pdfs-php/
Thank you. I have installed the library, and it is finding it. It starts creating the pdf, but then an error pops up saying "file does not begin with '%PDF' ? What could be causing this error?
