Table of Contents

Installing MMEX onto Web Server
  1. Open the ftp program that you use.
  2. Upload all files to your web server.
  3. That is it, refer to changing permissions if you plan to use flood control feature, csv file or flat-file.


Editing Form Settings
  1. formsettings.stg is the template for all form settings. Copy and paste the file and rename it to match the new html form you are creating, such as 'Contact Form.stg'.
  2. Now open this new file with notepad or some text editor.
  3. MAIN SETTINGS
  4. DISPLAY SETTINGS
  5. EMAIL SETTINGS (Note: these only apply if $send_type = 'email' or 'emailfile' or 'emaildbase' or 'emailcsv').
  6. MYSQL DATABASE SETTINGS (Note: these only apply if $send_type = 'dbase' or 'emaildbase').
    It is assumed that you have already created a table with all the proper fields in your database.

  7. CSV FILE SETTING (Note: this only applies if $send_type = 'csv').
  8. FLAT-FILE SETTING. (Note: this only applies if $send_type = 'file' or 'emailfile').
    To anyone who is unclear on what this is, it is basically a small database saved to a file instead of an actual database.

  9. AFTER SUBMISSION SETTINGS
  10. SECURITY SETTINGS (Note: these add security to your forms but do no guarantee 100% protection.).
Changing permissions

If you chose to use the flood control feature and/or save your form results to a flat-file or csv file this applies to you.
Using your ftp program look for a command called chmod. Change the permissions to 666 which will allow the script to read and write to the file.

Creating HTML Form
  1. In the html form that you create you need to make sure that your <form> tag has at least these two elements:
    <form method="post" action="yourdomain../../mmex.php">
  2. Set a hidden type in the form to reference which settings you want for this form.
    There are two ways you can do this:

    If the setting files are in the same folder as mmex.php write only the file name:
    <input type="hidden" name="settings" value="Contact Form.stg">

    If the setting file(s) is in a different folder than mmex.php you must write the absolute path of the settings file:
    <input type="hidden" name="settings" value="http:/www.domain.com/hr/Contact Form.stg">

  3. This feature provides the ability to have different settings for different forms on your site.
    This allows the developer to use mmex.php as many times as they want for as many forms as they want.
  4. Look at the sample provided to see format.
