[edit] Purpose
This extension offers the ability to process posted pages/forms through the 'action=formsubmit' action. The processing code resides in the database. The code can be 'syntax highlighted' through a <php> tag.
[edit] Features
- Handles 'action=formsubmit' action
- Follows 'redirects'
- Executes PHP code stored in a standard Mediawiki page
- Supports code extraction when enclosed in 'PHP' tags
- Supports the definition of a class in the processor page ( $page.'Class' )
- If a method 'submit' is present in the said class, it will be called upon formsubmit action (see example)
[edit] Example
[edit] Form Processing Page 'MyFormProc'
<!-- remove pre section -->
<php>
class MyFormProcClass
{
function submit() { implement your handler here }
}
</php>
So in the above case, your form should POST to something like MyFormProc?action=formsubmit.
[edit] Dependencies
