[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.

                                null,
                                array( 'UnknownAction' ),
                                false, // no need for logging support
                                null,  // tags
                                null,  // no parser functions
                                null   // no magic words
                         );
