*looks toward forum PHP gurus*

 

Is this possible?

 

It's a script for visitors to offer feedback, person visits a (sub)domain, and the PHP has a part of the form pre-filled in according to the address they visit.

 

For example, they visit http://feedback.example.com/product-16'>http://feedback.example.com/product-16 and the form already has the product name field filled in with "product-16" (either hidden or shown?) and they can fill out a usual PHP formmail script to send their comments.

 

It would just be one form living at http://feedback.example.com/.

 

How long would that take to build?

I think you have to go to your host. Mines Fasthost, I just log in there and add a subby. then in the subby page it has a link back to like:

 

first I had:

 

www.mysite.com/blog

 

then I made:

 

blog.mysite.com/

 

but I can still go to /blog.

You URL Rewrite to rewrite "http://feedback.example.com/product-16" into "http://feedback.example.com/products.php?product=product-16".

 

RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)(/*)$ product.php?product=$1

I think a rewrite like this should work. (Note: not tested!)

 

 

Then product.php you can get the product name by using $_GET['product'].

Yup, thinking about it I would need apache rewrite, what about the $_GET['product'] - I can't 'do' php

 

would it be as simple as:

 

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $_GET['product'] ?>">

Yup! All though a minor change will ensure it won't add illegal characters to your value attribute:

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['product']); ?>">

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_GET['product']); ?>">

 

Ta Will have a bash with this, and let you know how it goes.
