RE: [PHP] Forms PHP
[snip] I have a form that gets filled out and within this form there is a link to add additional information in a new form. When this information is saved I would like the browser to redirect to the previous form (this I can do) but with all the details they have already filled out still in the text boxes. What is the easiest way to do this using PHP? [/snip] By maintaining the POST (assuming you're using POST)variables and calling them into the form values when reloaded. If you go to the second page store the POST variables in hidden form input types, then grab them when the second page is POSTED. Does this make sense? Not enough caffeine for me yet...

If I've understood your initial email correctly another approach would be to save the contents of the form to your database and populate the form fields presented subsequently with information retrieved from the database. You can use the header function to redirect to whatever page you wish once the information has been saved.

No, in your first form you have code like
?php
if ((!isset($_POST)) || (!isset($_POST['foo']))) {
$foo = set default value here;
} else {
$foo = $_POST['foo'];
}
?
form method=post action=form2.php
input type=text name=foo value=?php echo $foo;? /
...
/form
and in the second form you have:
form method=post action=form1.php
input type=hidden name=foo value=?php echo $_POST['foo'];? /
...
/form

Re: [PHP] Forms
Have you checked register_globals = on/off in your php.ini?
If register_globals=off, then you must access your POST variables by:
$_POST['whatever'];
and your get (the stuff you put at the end of your URL's):
$_GET['whatever'];

RE: [PHP] Forms
Most books, specially the older ones will use this type of coding. It relies
completely on register_globals (and some other settings) to be enabled in
your php.ini.
However, many possible security risks has been identified with having
register_globals=on, so newer versions come with that feature disabled by
default.
This has been discussed to great depths in the archives, and arguably, if
you design your code with security in mind, turning register_globals on,
will and should not cause any problems. On the other hand, it is becoming a
standard, so unless you have your own server, or you know your ISP will
turn it on for you, then you are probably better off accessing your
variables through the POST and GET arrays.
As I said in my first post, it is basically in the way that you call your
variables.
If you look at your example:
You have a form that has the same page as the action, using the POST method,
meaning that all the names of form elements and the correlating values,
will be passed to the action page as POST variables. All these variables get
stored in the $_POST array.
So, as an example:
Your form has a input type=text name=var1 value=test
With your code in mind, hitting the submit on the form, will place a new
element in the $_POST array, called var1 ad associative value = test
And if you need to echo or use that variable/value, you should do so by
calling it like so:
echo $_POST[var1];
output - test
If you look closely at your code, you will see an If
/* Section that executes query */
if (@$form == yes)
{
and you will also see that the form being shown on first load of the page,
has a get variable appended to it in the action:
form action=?php echo $PHP_SELF ??form=yes method=post
table
tr
td align=rightbType in database name/b/td
td
that ?form=yes bit, creates a $_GET variable called $_GET[form] with a
value of yes
So, for your code to work, the IF statement should read:
if ($_GET[form] == yes)
{
Basically, the reason why it looks like your page is not doing anything, is
because the if cannot be satisfied...
You should thus go through that sample code and change the nameing of your
POST and GET variables (ie, the variables that are passed to the next page
to the abovementioned method and all should be fine.

thanks for the reply
yes I have tried both on and off, it is currently off?
Where would i put those in my script? or do I have to start from scratch?
The reason I am asking, is that all the books I have seem to be doing the
same
out of date coding, and if it is possible to make a quick change that I can
carry with me through my learning then I can get use out of all the books
that i have bought! but if all the scripts are pointless then i might as

light a match or give them to my 6 year old and ask him to look after them!!

RE: [PHP] Forms
Additionally, you could put this in a header file or the top of your page:
reset ($_GET);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_GET)) {
//echo $key = $valbr\n;
$$key = $val;
}
reset ($_POST);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_POST)) {
//echo $key = $valbr\n;
$$key = $val;
}
reset ($_SESSION);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($_SESSION)) {
//echo $key = $valbr\n;
$$key = $val;
}
So you can leave register_globals = off and get mostly the same
functionality (and security issues if you're worried about them too).

[PHP] Forms / Array Question...
Hi All, Quickie Question... Possibly a silly one; but it would make my life easier if it works! I know that with a SELECT MULTIPLE, you have to use the convention: NAME=$varName[] to get all of the responses into a nice neat array. I'm wondering about the mechanism behind this - is it simply doing a behind-the-scenes $varName[] = X;, $varName[] = Y;, $varName[] = Z; operation to dynamically generate the array? (Note: this is not my main question - keep reading. :-P ) If so, then it would follow that it's also possible to do something like this: INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=$varArray[1] INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=$varArray[2] INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME=$varArray[3] ... And get a nice array with your text values. Anyone know if this (A) works and (B) is not actually just some undefined behavior that's risky to use? Thanks! Take care, --Noel

[PHP] forms question -- simple
Hi all, I'm new to the list and to PHP. I haven't bought a book as of yet but I've found a number of resources that are getting me through the basics. I am collecting data from a form. I've having no problems collecting the data and printing it out. But... I have a form with check boxes with 4 options. See below. input type=checkbox value=Investment name=investment input type=checkbox value=Vacation Home name=vacation input type=checkbox value=Retirement Home name=retirement input type=checkbox value=Primary Home name=primary This form data is being sent off to a php page to get the values printed out. See below: ** print Which best describes your reason for wanting to purchase land?br; print $investmentbr $investment2br $investment3br $investment4br; ** The problem is if a check box is not checked a blank space gets printed out which I don't want. Can someone show me how to use an if then statement with the following stucture: *** if $investment not eqaul to a blank then print $investment *** I would use this structure for each of the variables in the checkboxes above. I'm sure this could be done with arrays in some form or another but since I'm new at this I would just as soon keep it simple for now and learn more sophisticated techniques later.

[PHP] Forms Session variables
I'm trying to build a multi-step form and using sessions to register the field values, but having serious issues. This is what I'd like to do: step 1 (first page): ask for name, address, email. [submit] step 2 (second page): ask for more personal information [submit] step 3 (last page): ask for specific event information [submit] send everything to a back end MySQL db, and redirect to a thank you page. This whole process is just one form.php file that posts to a process.php script. The content of form.php gets changed based on the step# (they get included step1.inc, step2.inc, and step3.inc.) However, after each [submit] I would like to verify the data prior to continuing to the next page. If any of the fields are missing or incorrect, we re-post the same page with the correct fields already filled in (based on whatever the user entered), and the missing one ... blank (obviously.) But, if everything is okay, and all fields check out, register the values and go on to the next page. Repeat the process. I'm having a heck of a time with the validation part. Either things don't register, or it gets stuck in a loop, regardless of what I change after the re-post. So, I need some help.

You need to slow down and think things through. My recommendation would be to get a SINGLE PAGE form to work how you want first, then assess the logic needed to move onto multiple forms.

[PHP] Forms Question
Hi, Im trying to figure out the best way to do the following. I need to have a series of forms that when the user finishes the first part of the form he is sent to another page where a second form is filled out, and then a third. Making the forms etc. is no problem, what I'm not sure of is how to keep the data from all forms so it can be displayed at the end. I don't want to have anything written to the users drive, or to the server - so this information would have to be kept in memory. Would an array work in this situation? Any ideas are appreciated.

RE: [PHP] Forms Question
Hey there, Maintaining state in a web application is always a difficult thing.. fortunatly, you use PHP, which makes it a bit easier. However, if you do not want anything written to the server or to the user's drive you are out of luck, simply because at very least you will need to have the user download your HTML which will be written to the hard drive for caching. There are a few ways of doing making this work: 1) Store the form values from the previous form stored in hidden form fields on each page of the form, such as the fields the user filled out on form1 will be stored as hidden form fields on form2, the fields from form1 and form2 will be stored in hidden fields on form3, etc.. This is not the cleanest way, but as far as crossplatforming goes, it's one of the best. 2) Use a cookie to store the form fields. YUCK! Cookies have many good applications, but they are usually disabled on the user's browser as they have been miss used in the past. of course, this goes against your rule of keeping things from being written on the user's harddrive. 3) Finally, you could use sessions. The cleanest way i would think to pass variables from one form to another is to create an object in PHP that contains the fields in the form as variables. Pass that object from form to form, adding the information the application recieves from the user into the object at each form submit. That way, all you have to do is to pass the sessionid from page to page. How do you do that you ask? 2 ways: 1) you could save it in a cookie (this is the default way of passing sessionids in PHP), 2) OR you can use a really cool thing PHP does and turn URL-rewriting on in the php.ini file. This will automatically rewrite all the urls you have on your page to append the ?SESSIONID=id at the end and include the sessionid as a hidden form field on all your pages. Cool, huh? yeah.. PHP kicks ass. =) If you need more help on how to do this, don't hesitate to ask. good luck! -Chris -Original Message- From: Beauford.2002 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sat 2/15/2003 10:02 AM To: PHP General Cc: Subject: [PHP] Forms Question Hi, Im trying to figure out the best way to do the following.

Re: [PHP] Forms Question
Yep, Definitely need help. I tried option 1, but for some reason the variables are not being passed - and this is messy and not really one I want to use. Option 3 sounds like the cleanest, but I am not 100% familiar with sessions - I have used this on another page with a counter so the counter doesn't get run up on every refresh, and I am sure this is similar, but I would need some further help on how to pass the information from one page to the next.

yes but it's more of an HTML/JavaScript thing. use INPUT Type='BUTTON' to put a second button on your form. Then use the onClick method to assign an action to it.

RE: [PHP] forms
G'day CJ This is really a html more than a php question. Yep, it probably is... Is it possible to have two buttons and have different actions for each button in the same form? Yep, you can. form etc input type=submit name=first_submit_action value=do this input type=submit name=2nd_submit_action value=do that /form When you process your form in php you'll find that you have either $first_submit_action or $2nd_submit_action set to a value (well, if you have register global on anyway). So, you look for which one is set and act accordingly. Works for me... CYA, Dave -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

No, because the action belongs to the form, not the submit buttons (which is why action is an attribute of form). However, you can use different names and values for the submit buttons, so that you can tell which was pressed on your receiving page. This way you can act accordingly, which is probably what you wanted to know. Hope that helps.

For starters, use this bit of HTML/PHP code to help you see what the browser sends you when the form is submitted (add this to the receiving page): pre ? print_r($_REQUEST); ? /pre Alternatively, you can choose to output $_GET or $_POST (instead of $_REQUEST) depending on which method you choose for your form. This will show you how to identify which button was pressed. Good luck. Chris -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

Re: [PHP] Forms
php.ini can be in several different locations, the best way to identify its location is to ask PHP where it is at (I have seen it in /usr/local/etc, /etc, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/conf, among others). Construct a php file with phpinfo() like: ?php phpinfo(); ? Then visit the page in your browser, now look for: Configuration File (php.ini) Path section, it is in the top 1/5 of the page, this will give you the directory PHP is looking for php.ini at. You can also use filesystem utils such as locate php.ini or find / -name php.ini Jason On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 09:53, Rick Emery wrote: For my Linux (RedHat 7.1), it's at /etc/php.ini - Original Message - From: Vicente Valero [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 23, 2002 10:25 AM Subject: [PHP] Forms I'm having problems using variables from a html form.

Re: [PHP] Forms and PHP variables
is_numeric() will work with variables just fine. So:
if (is_numeric($var)) {
print Yep, it's numeric;
} else {
print Nope, it sure isn't a number;
}
Make sure $var is defined. If it's coming from a
form then use $_POST['var'] or similar instead for
reasons described here:

[PHP] php, forms, mysql
Hello,
I could use some help.
I have two framed pages, upperframe.html and lowerframe.html. In upper frame.html:
echo table border=1;
echo trtd/tdtdID/tdtdSubject/tdtdOpen/tdtdClose/td/tr;
while($row = MySQL_fetch_array($result)) {
echo trtdforminput type=\checkbox\ method=\post\
name=\linia\/form/td;
echo tda href=\\ target=\_parent\{$row['id']}/a/td; ??
echo td{$row['subject']}/td;
echo td{$row['open']}/td;
echo td{$row['close']}/td/tr;
}
echo /table;
I display the content of the main table, which has an autoincrement index. For every
index I have another table, something like tableID. What I want is to press on the
id from a row in upperframe table and to display in lowerframe the tableID. How can I
do that?
Thanks a lot,
Adrian
Re: [PHP] php, forms, mysql
You don't need to use forms (which you got wrong), but simple links with
target=lowerframe and
href=lowerframe.php?tableID=$tableID, then you get in your
lowerframe.php $_GET['tableID']

echo td{$row['close']}/td/tr;
}
echo /table;
I display the content of the main table, which has an autoincrement index. For every index I have another table, something like tableID. What I want is to press on the id from a row in upperframe table and to display in lowerframe the tableID. How can I do that?
Thanks a lot,
Adrian

[PHP] Forms issues..
I am having difficulty managing forms. for example I have a table builder class which builds me a table of a query with all the bells and whistles to make it editable etc. so it creates it's own form to build itself on, then I have a dateselector class which builds a nice little graphic date selector, this also uses it's own form as it is not always in a table - it can be anywhere - as far as I know you can't have a form in a form so I am cheating a bit at the moment and only creating the dateselector after the table on a div then moving it into place.. This is working for me, but being a relative newbie I am sure there is a better way to handling forms. Any ideas, comments appreciated. Thanks _ Simon Taylor AfriTol (Pty) Ltd. ?

[PHP] Forms: How-to not display it if user hits back?
I have the following scenario 1- user comes to page A, clicks a button to get to page B 2- Page B is a form the user fills and hits the submit button 3- form data is received and I use header() to send him back to page A So A - B - A The problem I have is with Netscape 7, possibly other browsers too. If the user clicks the back button at stage 3, an annoying warning pops up: The page you are trying to view contains POST data that has expired from the cache .

[PHP] Forms problem?
I have a php script that queries a mysql db and build a form on a page for
each row returned. Each form has four fields and a thumbnail of a JPEG.
Below the image is a link to view the full image in a new window by using a
javascript function. (No javascript jibes before I go any further, it was
the only way I knew how). When I enter a query and say 10 records are
returned (10 forms are created with the same name), the data and appropriate
thumbnails are displayed correctly. When I click on the link the full image
is only displayed for the first six links. After this clicking on the link
has no effect. In the example above, the first five images were the same and
the last five were also the same. I should also mention that when I load
this page, I get an IE error 'unterminated string constant' but the page
does load correctly. I have checked my code for closing quotes etc but they
seem OK. Is there a max number of forms that can be created on a page or do
I have to name them all different or is there some other explanation as to
why the images won't display. Any ideas would be helpful and I can post more
code if required.
The call to the function is:
echo td width='200' colspan='2' align='center' class=labelsa
href='javascript:void(0)' onclick='ViewFullImage(\$img_code\)'View full
size/a/td;
The function is:
function ViewFullImage(strCode)
{
msg=window.open(,msg,height=400,width=750,left=20,top=80,scrollbars=yes
,resizable=yes);
msg.document.write(htmltitleDecoration Image/title);
msg.document.write(body bgcolor='white' onblur=window.close());
msg.document.write(centerimg src=images/ + strCode + .jpg
align=center valign=center/center);

[PHP] Forms not passing variables
Hello all. I have a site that was backed up, before the box was reformatted and rebuilt. Apache and PHP were upgraded. I have since resored all of the files and DB's that make up my site. Now, in doing some testing, the html forms are not passing variables to the next page. Specifically, these variables are the databse name, and the infor to be insereted into that database. My site uses frames, and it trying to pass the information from a form on one static page (menu) to the main window to display results. This used to work before I got the bright idea to upgrade. I have tried setting register_globals=on to see if that might help, but it had no effect. Has anyone else had, or is currently having issues like these?

[PHP] forms and files
Hi,
I have a form kinda like this:
form action=$PHP_SELF?option=Massaction=add method=POST
enctype=multipart/form-data
input type=file name=passcodeFile
the rest of the form is there too. And $PHP_SELF is set to $PHP_SELF =
$_SERVER[PHP_SELF] at the top of the page.
When I select a passcodeFile file to upload and click the upload
button, I am presented with this on the next page:
You need to specify a file to use.
Here's what I did:
if ($_POST[passcodeFile] == ) {
print You need to specify a file to use.;
}
Any ideas why it does that even if I do select a file?
Thanks,

1) print_r($_POST) to see what you have, while you're at it, do the same for

that worked. I had to use _FILES instead of _POST
I still get these errors though:
Warning: fopen(, r) - Success in
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/cj/aanr/admin/passcode_admin.php on line 151
Warning: stat failed for (errno=2 - No such file or directory) in

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource
in /usr/local/apache/htdocs/cj/aanr/admin/passcode_admin.php on line
151
And here's the line that produces them:
$data = fread(fopen($_FILES[passcodeFile_name], r),
filesize($_FILES[passcodeFile]));
any ideas on that one? This is the problem I have been working on for a
few days now.

[PHP] forms question
Hi I'm busy with an order form in php. How would I display a text field only if a checkbox is checked.

Re: [PHP] forms question
If you want to do it from PHP, then the forms will have to be seperate (PHP is
server side...) You assign a value to a checkbox, then in the page you submit
to, use something like
if ( $_POST[$checkbox_name] == checked_value )
{
...
}

Adapt to your needs. remember that PHP runs on the server, so what you want
to happen won't work unless the form is submitted in between. i.e. check the
checkbox, submit the form, now it shows/doesn't show a text area depending
on the whether the checkbox was checked or not.

Re: [PHP] forms into database and visa versa
Anyone have a link or links to how to definitively make safe inserts to databases with form information? It's a good idea to validate all data you're sticking in before you do. For example, if you have a numeric field, you don't want the person to be able to submit letters in that field. So, always check that the data is formatted the way you want it to be before sending it to the database. I usually use preg_replace() to remove undesireable characters. If you want text to go into a field and want people to be able to have quotes and other such items in there, then use addslashes(). --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409 -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
[PHP] passing variables between php forms
Hi sorry to annoy you AGAIN, but i cant seem to get it working i think
its something to do with the order that i put things in:
#end of html and start of php script
?php
#Take the Variables from enterdetails.php that are posted from an html form
$firstname=$_POST['txtFirstName'];
$lastname=$_POST['txtLastName'];
$email=$_POST['txtEmail'];
$quantity=$_POST['txtJars'];
$order_value=sprintf('%.2f', floatval($_POST['txtJars'])*7.0);
echo 'INPUT type=hidden name=testvar value='.$order_value.' /';
?php
# end of php script back into html
Are your details correct?
tr
td valign=top colspan=3 align=centerform action=confirm.php
method=postinput type=Submit name=submit value=Yes/form/td
/tr
tr
td valign=top colspan=3 align=centerform
action=updateaddress.php method=postinput type=submit
value=Nonbsp;/form/td
/tr
/font
If i put the echo or INPUT type outside of the php script this works, but
obviously just returns a string '.$quantity.' and not waht the variable
$quantity holds. This is extremely confusing. How do i get this php variable
to be passed to the HTML so it can be posted I thought the way i have it
the echo would make the variable testvar available to the browser, and then
i would be able to retrieve it by $_POST[testvar]; or $_POST[$testvar]; in
either the confirm.php or updateaddress.php that the html posts to?

Re: [PHP] passing variables between php forms
What exactly goes wrong? Indeed, you _should_ have $_POST[testvar]
available in the next page... The only problem I see is that you first
echo the input and only then do you start the forms... which is an HTML
problem, not a PHP one.

Your form element is outside the form so is invalid and ignored by the
browser. What you need is something like:
tr
td valign=top colspan=3 align=centerform action=confirm.php
method=postinput type=Submit name=submit value=Yes
INPUT type=hidden name=testvar value=? echo $order_value; ? /
/form/td
/tr
And similarly for the second form.
But I hope you're only doing this as a test. If you're implementing some kind
on online shopping thing then including the value of goods ordered on a form
and relying on that value when someone posts the form is a VERY BAD thing.
When the form is posted you should always re-calculate the value based on
item and quantity.

[PHP] Forms
I created a simple html form with only one textbox a submit button as follows: form method=post action=form1.php input type=text name=fname input type=submit value=SUBMIT /form This is form1.php html body Hi ?php echo $fname; ? /body /html But I don't know why I am not getting the output. I am just getting the following error: Notice: Undefined variable: fame in d:\inetpub\wwwroot\php\Form1.php on line 3 In order to pass the Form values to a PHP page, I went through 3-4 tutorials on the web all showed this way only to collect the form values as what I have done but still I am getting the error. It's damn frustrating when even after just copying pasting the code from the tutorial then running it I get an error. I even tried the above using print($fname) but without any luck. But if I include the following line in the PHP code before the above PHP line ?php $fname=Arpan; ? the code gets executed perfectly !!!

But if I include the following line in the PHP code before the above PHP line You're probably using a newer of php (4.1.X) in which the default behaviour of many aspects of php had changed. So if you're using php 4.1.X then you need to reference $fname as: $_POST['fname'] Or if you had use the GET method in your form then: $_GET['fname'] -- Jason Wong - Gremlins Associates - www.gremlins.com.hk Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design Hosting * Internet Intranet Applications Development * /* Just because the message may never be received does not mean it is not worth sending. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
