[phpesp-general] Trying to put referer in a question's answer

[Edward S. <lbs...@us...>]

Good morning (or evening for some).  I have phpESP set up and working well.  But there is something I want to do which I cannot figure out.

We have about 5-75 similar web pages which function as subject guides.  I plan to provide a link from each of then (using a banner ssi file) to a single survey in phpESP.  Ideally, I would like to have the identify of the page they came from included in the survey results, rather than asking them to enter it.

So I am trying to figure out some way to incorporate the HTTP_REFERER variable as a default answer for a question.  But I have not been able to determine any way to do this within phpESP.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

-Edward

[phpesp-general] problems with signup.php

[Harry M. <hj...@ta...>]

I tried to use the undocumented signup.php script that allows respondents to 
make their own logins, but was unable to make it work.  After correcting the 
missing paren, it further complained about the 'auto' designation  in the 
realm field.

The insert statement was:

INSERT INTO respondent (username,password,email,fname,lname,realm) VALUES 
('tacg',PASSWORD('baba'),'hj...@ta...','Harry ','Mangalam',auto)

and the response was:

Request failed, please choose a different username.[ 1054: Unknown column 
'auto' in 'field list' ]

At this point I don't know what the problem is.  'auto' appears to be the 
right group, altho it might need to be quoted (?) in some way?

Any hints?  With this feature, it'll be just about perfect!

IIRC, auto is a reserved keyword, so MySQL may be barfing on that.

Quoting 'auto' does work.  Should give you what you want.

I don't use respondents however, so my knowledge ends here.

Well, I have not received any replies, but i wanted to give a status report for the archives - especially since it seems that phpESP uses an invalid naming convention for input tags.

1 - I could not find a way to do this in phpESP.  Fine.

2 - I decided to use javascript, have the first question ask the user where they came from and have the javascript autofillin the answer (which the user could always change).  Sound workable

3 - Found that phpESP seems to use an invalid naming convention for its input tags.  All input fields in the survey begin with numerals.  According to http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#h-6.2 "ID and NAME tokens must begin with a letter ([A-Za-z]) and may be followed by any number of letters, digits ([0-9]), hyphens ("-"), underscores ("_"), colons (":"), and periods (".")."  As a result, the javascript I tried fails.

4 - I will be trying to modify the code to add an ID to the input tags, just so I can modify and use them for the javascript.

Have fun.

Yup, current ESP is in no way W3C compliant.  Versions beyond 1.7.5 hope
to fix that.

Thanks!!  It does work with auto single-quoted when I reference it as a 
standalone web page.  I can see where it can be set to create either 
embed-able html or a standalone web page, (and it generates a standalone web 
page in either case, but it's not clear how it should be referenced from 
another page to embed it, or whether it can be added to a survey 
automatically from the management interface.  Sine it's a new feature, am I 
to assume that it hasn't been made available via the management interface?

If so, I guess I'll start to dive into php.

No management interface integration is done.  Any improvements are
welcome.

Heh!  I'll certainly push any changes back to you - thanks for all the code
