Your code is (mostly) fine. The only part that didn't work is the final
"the form has been submitted" section because it comes after the HTML
page end. Move it to the start. Also, you don't have a closing form
tag.
The following is your code, changed slightly.. try it and see but it
works perfectly here (PHP 4.3.2, Apache, Windows). I added the echo
time() line so you can see if the page reloads or not:
<html>
<body>
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
echo "The form has been submitted<br>";
echo time();
}
?>
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Your name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name"value="<?=$_POST['name']?>"></td>

<tr>
<td>Your email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?=$_POST['email']?>"><td>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>Your message:</td>

I am fairly certain should be doing something. Thank you SOOO much for
the help. I've been working on setting up php for four days now and
EVERYTHING else works (phpinfo() calls, etc), but for some reason forms,
even ones that I know should be working don't take values. They just
return you to the same screen.
CODE:
<html>
<body>
<br><br>
<?=$errormessage?>
<br>
<form action="<?=$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post">
<table width="500" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>Your name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="name"value="<?=$_POST['name']?>"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Your email:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="email" value="<?=$_POST['email']?>"><td>
<tr>
<tr>
<td>Your message:</td>
<td><textarea name="message"><?=$_POST['message']?></textarea></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="hidden" name="required" value="name,email,message">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
</body></html>
<?php
if ($_POST['submit']) {
print "the form has been submitted";
}
?>
What's the output to the browser when you submit this?

I tried adding that code you gave me, but all it does go back to the same

out for the life of me. like i said, everything else in php is working fine,
except for this.

If it doesn't even echo out time() then you have something very wrong
in either the installation of PHP (unlikely) or the configuration of
using PHP on your web server. Where are these files being

echo time() isn't an input value.
If it can't even do that then it's not surprising it can't handle
$_POST values either, there is something else at play here and it's
not your code.
Stick "echo phpinfo()" at the top of your form code - does it work?

Fill in some values for your form fields, submit it, and post the source

time() is only echo'ed if $_POST['submit'] is something on this case

I had to turn the Enable account activation by admin feature. In
doing so when someone tries to create an account when they hit submit
they get this error:
You assume anyone here knows what you're talking about. What program is
this that you're using?
Line : 234
File : /home/mcpain36/public_html/forum/includes/emailer.php[/code]
What exactly is the error?
It does not send them an email about how the admin has to turn on the
account. How can I fix this?
By answering the above two questions and showing us what is on line 234
of /home/mcpain36/public_html/forum/includes/emailer.php. That will at
least give us a starting point.

I am using RedHat Enterprise Linux (ES). Installed openldap, php, apache
latest versions. All except ldap_add functions are working. When I use
ldapadd at the terminal it works adding entries to ldap. But when I use php
ldap_add , error code shows it is Success. But does not add any entires to
ldap. I am using the form uid-xxx, cn=xxx,ou=xxx,o=xxxxx. It works for
cn=xxx,ou=xxx,o=xxx. When I try to add uid=xxx, cn=xxx,ou=xxx,o=xxxxx it
fails. slapd log shows err=0. Appreciate any help.

i had problems with locale
i think its safer to make a dayname and monthname array, and use
getdate(), than build the string yourself
like:
<?
$wdayname_array = array('Domingo', 'Segunda', 'Terça', 'Quarta',
'Quinta', 'Sexta', 'Sábado');
$monthname_array = array('Janeiro', 'Fevereiro', 'Março', 'Abril',
'Maio', 'Junho', 'Julho', 'Agosto', 'Setembro', 'Outubro', 'Novembro',
'Dezembro');
function date_wrapper($format, $timestamp=NULL)
{
global $wdayname_array, $monthname_array;
if ($timestamp == NULL)
$timestamp = time();
$date = getdate($timestamp);
$wdayname = $wdayname_array[$date['wday']];
$monthname = $monthname_array[$date['mon']-1];
$format = str_replace(array('l', 'F'), array('\\\\\l', '\\\\\F'), $format);
$date = date($format, $timestamp);
$date = str_replace(array('\\l', '\\F'), array($wdayname, $monthname),
$date);
return $date;
}
echo date_wrapper('l, d \de F \de Y');
//the follow should, but doesnt seem to work
//setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pt_BR');
//echo date('l, j de F de Y');
?>
this example may not work well with slashes... just wrote it hehe
tb sou brasileiro hehe (im brazillian too)

Are you perchance running your script on a machine with an active firewall? I had all
sorts of session-related problems and spent ages trying to figure out what was wrong
with my code until eventually I read somewhere that ZoneAlarm might interfere with
sessions. I shut down ZA and — guess what? — there wasn't anything wrong with my
code after all. Now whenever I need to test scripts involving sessions I disconnect
from
the Internet and shut down ZoneAlarm.
Hope this helps,
Erik

I'm afraid you'll have to start learning PHP from scratch. The freely-available PHP
manual has a fairly good introductory section and you'll also find tons of tutorials
for
beginners on the web.

Hello:
Environment:
Linux server
PHP 4.3.4
This code:
echo '<br>'.strftime('%T %Z',mktime()).', Timestamp='.mktime();
echo '<br>'.strftime('%T GMT',gmmktime()).', Timestamp='.gmmktime();
yields this result:
23:52:08 EST, Timestamp=1076475128
18:52:08 GMT, Timestamp=1076457128
Why? GMT should be 5 hours ahead of EST, not 5 behind. Right? What am I
missing here??

Hi,
basically, gzip is only about compression of data. If you want compress
more than one file at once, you need to put it into an archive before,
e.g. a tar archive. Then you can compress this tar-Archive (single file)
width gzip.

I'm running PHP 5.0b3, so I'm not sure whether this is an issue with the
version of PHP I'm running.
I've got a select field in a form that is allowing multiple selects:
<select name="modules" size="10" multiple="multiple" id="modules"
style="height: 150px;">
<option value="2" selected="selected">Banner Manager</option>
<option value="3" selected="selected">Calendar of Events</option>
<option value="4">Contacts</option>
<option value="5">Elections</option>
<option value="6" selected="selected">Emergency Notices</option>
<option value="11" selected="selected">Employment Opportunites</option>
<option value="7" selected="selected">FAQs</option>
<option value="8" selected="selected">Files & Downloads</option>
<option value="9">Image Gallery</option>
<option value="12">Links</option>
<option value="13" selected="selected">Meetings & Agendas</option>
<option value="1" selected="selected">News & Articles</option>
<option value="16" selected="selected">Notices of Public
Hearing</option>
<option value="14" selected="selected">Procurement
Opportunities</option>
<option value="15" selected="selected">Publications</option>
<option value="18">Weather Information</option>
</select>
I'm posting the data to another script, in which I have the following:
print_r($_POST);
The only thing that is being saved to $_POST['modules'] is the last
value (15). When I count($_POST['modules']), I only get 1, so I know
that it's not passing back an array of numbers like it should.
Am I doing something wrong?

Ah-ha! I missed that, and I always do. Let's hope I don't anymore.
While we're on the subject, why is PHP set up this way? Why can't it
just add the elements to the array automatically, since adding the
square brackets to one's HTML form name is not a standard practice?

I guess because the times when a value will be an array vs. a straight
variable are probably so small that it's un-necessary overhead on
PHP's behalf to have to treat every single element as a potential
array. Far easier to just stick [] on the end and tell PHP it is.

Depending on the use you might also want to look at this one :
htmlentities()
If working with mySQL inserts consider this aswell :
mysql_escape_string()
And finally, javascripts in HTML doesnt like either the ' " or the
equivilant htmlentities. I just wash them away direkt if i need to
output something into a javascript statement, eg.
<a href="javascript: dome('typicaltext');">
The above example caused me alot of headaches when the text inside '
contained either ' or ", and even the entities also messed up.

I recently encountered this issue and as far as I can tell it has
nothing to do with PHP. In my case it was caused by some arcane problem
which occurred when installing the os and software (Apache, PHP,
PostgreSQL, etc.) straight from a RedHat cd instead of downloading and
compiling the source files.
Everything worked fine except POST method uploads. Whenever I attempted
to upload a file it would not upload properly, and if I was using a
textarea to post a large chunk of code to a page for processing the code
would also get mangled somewhere after clicking the submit button and
before it was accessible via the $_POST array in the receiving script.
The only thing I was able to surmise was that the problem had something
to do with the "vanilla install" (as my sysadmin described it) of
Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL. When I moved the project I was working on
to its permanent home (an actual Dell server with everything compiled
properly from the source) the problem disappeared altogether.
I also tested it on a number of other production machines here and it
worked fine on all of them.
If possible I would suggest you take your code to another machine and
test it out there as I would wager that the problem is within your
system, not your code or PHP settings.
I know this isn't an answer per se but I hope that is of some use and
will save wasted time in trying to figure out the problem.
Cheers,
Pablo.

Hi,
I have a form on page1 that i want to submit to another php page - page2
the form has the fields
<input type="hidden" name="image[one]" value="one">
<input type="hidden" name="image[two]" value="two">
<input type="hidden" name="image[three]" value="three">
Basically I want to have these form field values as an array of values I can
loop through on page 2 but what do I put on page 2 too get the array and
loop through ?
Thanks.

Matthew,
use $_POST/$_GET/$_REQUEST (depending on your form method) and foreach()
eg:
foreach($_POST['image'] as $key=>$value)
{
echo "$key -> $value<br>\n";
}

How can I use PHP to compute the difference between two dates(with
time)?
Let's say in mysql, I have field 1, login, and on field 2, I have
logout.
How can I compute the diffrence between login and logut and output it on
field 3 let's say totaltime.
Is this a mysql question? Or can PHP actually do this?
TIA

Both can do it, but it depends heavily on what type of date format it
is. If it's a normal mysql date or datetime (not a timestamp) then you
can grab it, then do:
$seconds = strtotime($field1) - strtotime($field2);
strtotime() does a good job of converting just about every type of
formatted date.
If you're using a timestamp, there aren't any deliminators. I'm not sure
if strtotime() will parse those as you want. In this case (and the
other, actually) you can easily use SQL.
SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP(field1) - UNIX_TIMESTAMP(field2) AS secondsBetween
FROM table

create table oras(

Hi,
Are those correct? Because the value on the Total field is 000-00-00
00:00:00.
I think there's something wrong. I'm using 4.0.

hi is there a limit to the filesize of a php ?
I know tomcat had limits on the file size of jsps.
My problem is I have a 13kb php file when I add some more lines of code to it the html
output becomes currupt - it could well be bad html but I cant find it so thought I
would ask this question?
Cheers.
Matt

Apparently so, ask google.

Ask RedHat?

What exactly do you mean by "the regular libraries included"? Basically using
the PEAR libraries will save you from re-inventing many wheels, the downside
being the extra overhead required. www.phpclasses.org is also a great source
of classes/libraries.
