Can you let me know the URL of your form please? The code depends on several conditions, so I need to check your form first.</p> <p>Please mail it to: customer.service [at] appnitro.com</p> <p>2) I'm afraid I won't be able to help with the complete code for this one, since this would require pretty much custom coding. I suggest to hire a PHP programmer for this part. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-18142 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:47:10 +0000 drbobtampa 18142@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>BTW, I would like the DB stopping and the external redirect to be conditional on the form number(s) so that not all forms are externally directed.<br /> Thanks,<br /> Bob </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-18140 Tue, 30 Apr 2013 21:33:51 +0000 drbobtampa 18140@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi Yuniar:<br /> Here is my info<br /> License Information<br /> Customer ID 5CT52275TE445611Y<br /> Name Dr Robert Porter<br /> License Type MachForm Standard<br /> MachForm Version 3.4</p> <p>I need to do two things:<br /> #1 Code to stop insertion of form data into Machform form dB</p> <p>#2 Code to send form data to external dB such as:<br /> <a href="https://secureform.luxsci.com/perl/post/11096-1449-oZOh" rel="nofollow">https://secureform.luxsci.com/perl/post/11096-1449-oZOh</a><br /> The target database type is<br /> Database Type: MySQL v5.5.x<br /> Database Hostname: "mysql55.web6.luxsci.com"</p> <p>I have been in mf_process_form() but cannot see where and what to change.<br /> Thank you for any help you can provide.<br /> Dr. Bob </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-18077 Mon, 22 Apr 2013 17:44:49 +0000 yuniar 18077@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Bob -- yes that one is possible.

Since the database is needed to generate the form itself.</p> <p>The posting I mentioned above is meant to disable the form saving to the database only, not the entire database functionality. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-10496 Fri, 17 Sep 2010 01:37:19 +0000 kimsteinhaug 10496@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Switch on and off? Thats a magic feature I never see anywhere, as this would require an export import system from filesystem to database back and forth. This would most likely never be implemented as it has no practical use in real world (as in production world).</p> <p>I might be surprised though, but I highly doubt it! </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-10494 Thu, 16 Sep 2010 23:53:01 +0000 mattcarp 10494@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi - this would be quite interesting to me as well. In my case, while the database storing works just fine on my dev server, my web host has not yet configured MySQL on the production server, and I'm concerned that it won't be ready in time for our rollout.</p> <p>So, in my case, would there be a means to switch off the database storage for all forms, then switch it on when the database is set up?</p> <p>Thanks very much.</p> <p>matt </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-10462 Sun, 12 Sep 2010 13:46:40 +0000 yuniar 10462@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Yes, that is possible. Do you need to 'skip the database' for all your forms or just certain form? </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/e-mail-only-option#post-10458 Sat, 11 Sep 2010 11:46:13 +0000 anablepo 10458@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>While it is often useful to have some redundancy in data collection - I have a circumstance where sensitive data is collected and would be better not to store large amounts of it in the database once it's passed off in an e-mail.</p> <p>What I'm saying is, would it be possible to 'skip the database' when collecting results in certain forms? (In my case - not storing form info in a database for all forms would be acceptable too - just not as slick.)</p> <p>Thanks!! </p>
