Thus far I understand most of what’s being done and what I don’t I’ve googled…
Great!
(BTW, I haven’t forgotten you; I’ve just been waiting for your responses/questions before moving on to each new part.)
important: I have fixed some typos in the code so far. (Among other things, I missed a few %s in our html template, and misspelled openssl_random_pseudo_bytes). Make sure you test with a fresh copy.
(gist updated.)
You’re ready for a quick test, now. include (or copy+paste) the class definition into your php script, and run the following code:
$contact = new contactMichael1961;
print "<pre>".htmlspecialchars( $contact->htmlMarkup() );
This should show you some nice HTML form markup, like so:
<form class=michael1961 action=? method=POST>
<fieldset>
<legend>Contact Us</legend>
<label class=required>
Your Name: <input name=name required value="">
</label>
<label class=required>
Email Address: <input name=email type=email required value="">
</label>
<label>
Send To:
<select required>
<option value>please select…</option>
<option>display name</option>
</select>
</label>
<label>
Message: <textarea name=message>""</textarea>
</label>
<fieldset class=antispam>
<legend>
Anti-Spam Question
<a href=# title="Please answer the question below. This is used to help prevent spam.">(why?)</a>
</legend>
<label class=required>
Are you a Robot? <input name=spam required>
</label>
<label class=blank>
(leave this field blank) <input name=required>
<input name=token type=hidden value=e2c6ae19913cec1b60d7d36ea7a0561c>
</label>
</fieldset>
<label><input type=submit value=Submit></label>
</fieldset>
</form>
If you want to see the actual form, remove the <pre> tag and the call to htmlspecialchars. We can also write a quick method that gets the form’s css for us:
public function cssStyle(){
return "<style>{$this->_cssRules}</style>";
}
Now, try:
<?php
include "path/to/contactMichael1961.php";
$contact = new contactMichael1961;
print $contact->cssStyle();
print $contact->htmlMarkup();
Should give you something like:
