PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type mysqli_result as array in /var/www/vhosts/DOMAIN/httpdocs/forum/forms.php on line 1242, referer: http://DOMAIN/forum/forms.php?do=editform&fid=1&pg=7

Server running:

PHP 5.3.10-1ubuntu3.24
MySQL Version 5.5.50-0ubuntu0.12.04.1


Runs on another server I have OK - probably been looking at it too long and missing something obvious...

To add, doesn't matter whether 'mysql' or 'mysqli' is used in the config file...

I would like to add a Referer hook to the form output- basically I want to know what page they were on when they accessed the form and sent it to me.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

Example: form is hosted on this page:

anysite.com/content.php/1950-friendly-url

when the form is submitted I want to have a field that shows:

Referer: anysite.com/content.php/1950-friendly-url

Instead all I can see is:

Referer: anysite.com/forms.php?do=form&fid=47

Any ideas on the correct syntax to add it to the Form Hook before submission?

I've tried:

PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_GET['auth'] . $form[psta]; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SESSION['loc']=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . $form[psta]; 


PHP Code:

$formoutput .= $form[preq] . "Referer:" . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .
$form[psta]; 


I basically want to know if people are accessing the form directly by sharing the link or whether they are accessing the form from the specific page I am embedding it within.

Any php folks who could help me with some custom stuff? I don't even know if this is possible:

I've got a question with a five item dropdown, and I'm hoping I can use a custom question to populate the form output with a bunch of other information depending on which of the five items a user picks.
e.g. They pick their city of residence from a dropdown, and the output of the submitted form lists a few things relevant only to that city. Picking a different city gives different output. The bits of info themselves are not super long and won't be changing.

Need help i cant seem to figure out where to creat the forum or what not

[MdSWolfy]

I am unable to create new form questions. The submit button after creating a new question doesn't seem to do anything at all.

Here is the button that is not doing anything when clicked:

<input class="button" name="cancel" type="button" id="cancel" value="Cancel" onclick="window.location.href='forms.php?do=editform&amp;fid=1'">

Really love this mod, so first off -- big thanks.

Following this line of questions with ascroft, I wanted to add a subscription to the newly posted thread for the user.

Hook Location: newthread_post_complete

if ($fid == 32) 
{ 
	$addthreadinfo = fetch_threadinfo($newpost['threadid']);
	$adduserinfo = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];
	
	$db->query_write("INSERT INTO subscribethread  
            (userid,threadid,emailupdate,folderid,canview) 
        VALUES 
            ('$adduserinfo','addthreadinfo','1','0','1'); 
    ");
}

I even replaced the variables with static info which also did nothing so it looks like the IF $fid isn't working. Did I miss something or is there a better way to go about adding a user thread subscription for the newly created thread?

[grey_goose]

nvm, I just added into the 'Easy Forms Part 1' plugin:

~ line 807 just before 'mark_thread_read'

PHP Code:

        // Add Subscription        
        $fid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('p', 'fid', TYPE_UINT);
        if (in_array($fid, array('10', '25', '27', '14'))) 
            {
                $subscribethisuser = $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'];            
                $db->query_write("INSERT INTO subscribethread  
                        (userid,threadid,emailupdate,folderid,canview) 
                    VALUES 
                        ('$subscribethisuser','$threadinfo[threadid]','1','0','1'); 
                ");            
            } 


It doesn't check for user specific settings for subscriptions, but I want them subscribed regardless of their personal prefs. Seems to be working.

Hello

Recently my emails are delayed for 12 hours only when sent from forms?
