Exploring API documentation

Writing PHP Script

I accepted a stretch goal to create a needs assesment form yesterday. It started with my inquiry into how a user would create an ContractPal Enterprise account. The new account creation process is still a bit convoluted. As we discussed possible solutions, Brad asked if I could create an “opportunity assessment” page and add it to the company web site.

We decided the requirements would be a needs assesment form and contact information, e.g. how many transactions in a month or how much time is required to close a transaction. The submitted form is forwarded to his email address. He can then follow up with a phone call or email.

We are using MODx, a content management system. I starting reading the help documentation. I found a PHP code sample called ‘Web Lead’. It provides a simple form a visitor can fill out. Now, I need to add additional questions next to radio buttons and figure out how to send the form via email. I visited W3Schools to get started learning more about PHP. It turns out that it is very similar to JavaScript and the ContractPal RhinoScript I have used for developing Pals.
