Bypassing "submit" Or Auto Submit With Forms Data
In a regular HTML screen where you have inputs within a FORM, you usually have a SUBMIT input tag to submit the form data to the action'ed item in the form tag.
In alot of sites, I see that you can enter a field, then to its immediate right, is a GO button to submit the choice. Has anyone had experience with this, and if so, how would you code that in PHP? I have also seen where you can choose something from a dialog box, and as soon as its chosen, the form data is submitted. Is that possible in PHP also?

Multiple Script Execution On "Submit"
I have a webpage that accepts user information using an HTML form. When the "submit" button is pressed, the "action" executes a PHP script on a remote server. Basically, I have no control over this remote script. So, what I'd like to do is keep track of how many people fill out that form. I wasn't sure if it was possible to have two scripts execute (the remote script and a counter script) when the user clicks "submit", so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone know if this is possible? Maybe using a mix of javascript to call multiple post commands? I don't want to use Javascript to count the number of submissions - I'd prefer to use PHP so I can at least mask the code.
Pressing "SUBMIT" VS Pressing ENTER
I have a little weired problem . A PHP function attached to a form produces wrong resutls when i perss ENTER insread of pressing the SUBMIT button by mouse ? How can that be solved ?
How Do I Do Something Like $color = ("red", "yellow", "blue")[$colornum]?
How do I take an index of a literal array, instead of a variable? That is, say I want to get the short name of a month. Can I do something like: $monthname = ("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec")[$month]; or do I always have to do: $blah = array("Jan", "Feb", "Mar", "Apr", "May", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Oct", "Nov", "Dec"); $monthname = $blah[$month]; It seems a shame to have to create a variable specifically for this one-shot purpose.
Forms :: The "select Multiple" Is Evil
I'm writing a form with a "select" window called "choices" and when I send the form data to the next page, I end up with the last value selected in "choices." I know that multiple selects are stored as arrays, but my problem is that PHP is only showing the last array element. Ideas? Here's the basic form code: ... <form name="list" action="./print.php3" method=get > <select name='choices' multiple size=10> <option>hi</option> <option>there</option> <option>dude</option> </select> <input type=submit> </form> ...
Auto Submit A Form In PHP
Does anybody know how to auto-submit a form in PHP without Javascript? For instance, submit form variables to self, validate the data in PHP on same page, then, if no errors, auto-submit the data via post rather than URL. Could serialize a few fields to URL, but there is a larger comments field that I think needs to be posted instead. Auto-post the form variables possible?
How To DISABLE "BACK" When Doing Forms
I want to be able to disable the back button when someone submits a form. Right now i have a page like, questions.php When the person submits it, it inserts into database. But my problem is this: After the person submits the form, if he/she clicks back and then submits again, it will screw up the data in the DB. How would i be able to do with this php, perhaps hidden tags? session?
Auto Submit Form On Page Load
i have a cronjob to run a php file at a certain time of the day. it originally was suppose to run the php mail function, easy enough, right?? but no, the php mail function is not enabled on the server - just my luck. all i need to do is send two values from a database table within an email. i was thinking, i could probably create a form which plugs the two values into fields, and use the mail cgi file to send it that way, but I'd need to submit the form on page load (without someone actually clicking the submit button). I could use javascript, but the cronjob would ignore the javascript. any ideas?
Preventing Visitors Ability To "re-visit" A Page Via The "back Button"..
I have a rather complex registration/member sign up form.. which gets a little confused, when a visitor "backs" completely out of the form, then for whatever reason returns to the form. The form contains 'cancel' buttons, which naturally cancel the reg process and redirects them to the document just before they started. JS provides us with the "location.replace()" method, but I can't seem to find a way to coordinate the use of location.replace() with the posting of the form values. In short, I want to "replace" the first step of the form with the "second step". I think what's making this tricky, is that each step of the form are located within the "same" page (register.php). The document works like so: The first step is the "Member Agreement" when they click "agree" (submit) the system creates a new row in the temporary register table of the db. It then issues a registration cookie, which carries the row id, and session value. in addition (for those cookie impared users) we carry the row id and session value in hidden elements. So far, as long as the user continues through the process all is fine, but if they (for whatever reason) back all the way out, and click 'agree' again, the process fails. I guess I have to find a way to force a reload of the 1st step "if they've gone back" OR "replace()" the first step with the second, so as to prevent the user from going "back" to the 1st step of the register page.
Submit Two Forms
Is there any possible way to submit a form, either with get or post, to two different pages? So for example, I have <form method="post" action="mailer.php">and I want to send the info to both mailer.php and mailer2.php? Is there a way to do it?
Pagnation - Limit Number Of Pages Between "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlinks
Was hoping for some advice with a part of page navigation.... It works at the moment so there is a "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink underneath the records. In between the Previous & Next links are the number of pages that there is of these records. e.g: Previous 1234 Next This is fine if there are only a few pages of records, but when there are hundreds of pages the numbers are listed and they take up half the web page with them. How can i make it so only limited 10 numbers of pages say appear between the "Previous" & "Next" Hyperlink and as you progress through the pages they are as do the next 10 numbers of pages? Code:
Is It Possible To Submit Two Forms At A Time
I need a small clarification in submitting the forms, Ur suggestions please. In a page I have two form and also two submit butons. (ie) <form name="myform" action="test.php" method="post" > <input type="text" name="myform_name" > <input type="text" name="myform_id" > <input type="text" name="myform_no" > <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <form name="myform1" action="test.php" > <input type="text" name="myform1_name" > <input type="text" name="myform1_id" > <input type="text" name="myform1_no" > <input type="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> Now is it possible to submit all the elements from the two form when I click any one of the submit button.
Submit Multiple Forms At Once?
What I am trying to accomplish doesn't seem totally unique so it very likely the way I am asking the question which is keeping me from finding the answer. This is an expense report problem. I have 3 tables that make up an expense report: expensereport, erDets, and erSplits. The reason for the 3rd table is that in some cases the employee will need to split an expense into multiple lines due to multiple projects being covered by one expense item. What I want to do is create an interface that makes it seem like the user is entering into just 2 tables (expensereport, details) so the need I have is to combine the 2 tables (erDets, erSplits) into one form -- or at least the appearance of one form. an idea I have is to have just one button that submits both forms. Could I make a button that when clicked would do the following? 1. query one: insert into erDets (form1) 2. retrieve the newly created key --$var = mysql_insert_id() 3. query two: insert into erSplits ($var, form2) Maybe there is a better way to accomplish this?
[regex] Stripping Out "name" And "value" Values Out Of Tags, Aaargh
Searched through the site, but couldn't find the right regex syntax I was looking for. the thing i want is, to extract with preg_match_all the given values in a tag... ex. $str = '<input type="text" name="name" value="value">' $pattern = some magic stuff I need to know preg_match_all($pattern, $str, $result); And in result I want to have the values text, name and value AND it's important that the order doesn't matter so structure of tags can be <input type =name= value=> or <input name= class= value= type=> etc, etc...
'Parse Error' Problem In "isset" And "empty"
I've been having some problems with a parse error that I can't figure out (PHP 4.3.11 on Solaris9). Sample code: <?php // getting strange parse errors on this class A { var $value; function A() { $this->value = 1; } function getValue() { return $this->value; } } $a = new A(); if (!empty($a->getValue())) { echo "success"; } else { echo "failure"; } ?> The result of this is: Parse error: parse error, unexpected '(', expecting ')' in /foo/public_html/parse_errors.php on line 15 I also get the same effect with "isset", however, testing with "is_null" or "is_int" produces the correct ("success"/"failure") result. Any ideas?
Losing $_POST Data With Input Type="image"
I am having problems with a php script that I am developing. I have a file called "login.php". It contains an HTML form with a username and password field, and is submitted with an image. Here is a simplified version of my form: <form name="form1" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <input type="text" size="20" maxlength="50" class="text" name="uname"> <input type="password" size="20" maxlength="12" class="text" name="passwd"> <input type="image" src="images/b-login.jpg" border="0" name="submit"> </form> As you can see, the script calls itself. However, when I try to access $_POST['uname'] and $_POST['password'], they do not exist. If I replace the line <input type="image" src="images/b-login.jpg" border="0" name="submit"> with <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Login"> everything works fine. I need to use this image to submit my form, not the standard "Submit" button. Any ideas on what the problem is?
Problem With Enctype="multipart/form-data"
Hi, I am using a form to upload and image. I use enctype="multipart/form-data" in the form tag like this:- if(!isset($_POST['submitimage'])) .... <form action="<?=$PHP_SELF?>" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post"> ............ else ............ This works fine in my local development environment on the PC but when I try using it on my host it fails. It seems that it simply doesn't recognise that Submit has been pressed as it simply re-enters the same piece of code and re-displays the form. If I take out enctype="multipart/form-data" then it does recognise that Submit has been pressed and executes the appropriate bit of code - but I get an error that there is no file (which is what I would expect). Could this be an environment issue with my host (why does it work in my local environment and with my host?)
Enctype="multipart/form-data"
after a server upgrade (to Apache 1.3.26 with PHP 4.0.3pl1) - PHP was not upgraded! - suddenly some forms stopped working. A form with enctype="multipart/form-data" will only work with the get method, but not with the post method. Using post, nothing will be passed. It is only a fancy page reload. No Variables, no values, nothing.
Restore Data Entered In "textarea" As It Is
An Employee's address is entered in "textarea", multiline text box and want to display it (onn retrieval) the way user has entered !! The user types a sentence / line of address and then press "ENTER" key. The data seen on the screen (to the user who is entering text) is in separate lines delimited by <crlf> or enter key. When I store this data into field type "varchar" , I get single string and I am unable to display the data the way user has entered.
My Data Contains Commas And Pipes "¦"
I have some raw data that I was planning to insert into a flat file and then upload/insert into my mySQL DB. However the data contains commas and pipes "¦". I usually use the ¦ as my delimiter. Before I upload the data I wanted to remove dupes which happen to be text/blob fields. I usually do this in access. I thought I could get around this by using quotes as a text qualifier. It didn't seem to work. My other method I usually try is to use some combination of characters like <¦¦> as a delimeter. However Access only allows one character as a delimeter and phpmyadmin only allows two characters as the delimeter.
Ftp_nlist "425 Can't Open Data Connectoin"
I am just beginner on PHP. I am reading "Spring Into PHP 5" but cannot make the ftp examples work. I am running PHP scripts on a Fedora Core 5 (VMWare virtual machine) on top of a Windows XP Professional. The PHP version is 5.1.4. The PHP script is shown below. #! /usr/bin/php <?php $ftp_server = "myftpserver"; $connect = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server."); $result = ftp_login($connect, "myftpuser", "mypassword") or die("Couldn't log in $ftp_server."); $a = ftp_nlist($connect, "/"); foreach($a as $value){ echo $value, " "; } ?> I run the above script in a GENOME terminal. It seems it can connect and log in to the ftp server successfully. But then the ftp_nlist() call fails. And the server has the following log for this call. Quote:
Submit Form Without Clicking Submit Button
I was wondering if it is possible to use something like Javascript to make it so you don't have to click the submit button on a form to make it submit, while using php and mysql. e.g. Code:
Echo "<!--#include File="top.html" -->";
I have a search script which returns a page of results, however I'd like the returned page to be in the same format as the rest of my site. To do this I've tried adding the HTML for my site to my PHP page with echo" " commands. This works for the plain HTML, but my regular pages also use SSI to do other stuff (some of them even execute other PHP scripts to generate tables of data etc). I've tried echo "<!--#include file="top.html" -->"; but it doesn't work as I get a parse error. My question is, how do I go about doing this properly? Is this possible at all? And if not have you guys got any suggestions to get around this?
Any File Size Limit In <PARAM Name="***" Value="***"> ?
I embed an applet in my php script which has a parameter providing an input file for the jar. Does this file has size limit? The code is as follows: <APPLET ARCHIVE="myapplet.jar" WIDTH=372 HEIGHT=360 VSPACE=0 HSPACE=0 ALIGN=middle> <?php echo "<PARAM NAME="data" VALUE="myfile.">";?> when "myfile" is beyond 15M, my applet cannot load sucessfully, but while this file is limited like 5M or 7M, it works well. Does anybody know is the reason caused by php script limit, applet mechanism, or by different browser?
How To Do PHP "require()" Or TCL "source" In Bash Script
I can't figure out how to explain this any better than this. In PHP we have a command "require()" that obtains a file and logically places it into another file. I cannot figure out how to do this in bash script as the requirement is necessary for a migration script to obtain the code from a .cfg file and then be able for the "parent" script to run the code it "imported" from the .cfg file, much like PHP's require() or TCL's "source". This is what I have so far and it fails: if [ -f ivc.cfg ]; then cat ivc.cfg fi Anyone really know bash script well please help, it's a barrier for me not to be able to get just this one piece working.

Error In Page When Checking Http_get_vars("myvar") And "myvar" Was Not Passed In URL String
PHP, coming from ASP coding if (HTTP_GET_VARS['b']==1){ print "Yes"; }else{ print "No"; } when "b" is not passed via (http://www.mydomain.com?b=1 an error occurs and the "NO" is printed but an error is printed too. How can I check for the value of "b" so that no error occurs if b is not passed?? example http=www.mydomain.com $myvar=HTTP_GET_VARS['b'] causes an error because "b" does not exist (ie. its not passed in the URL string. $myvar maybe evaluated as NULL or Empty but the error is printed in the page, anyway.

Mysql/php - "LIMIT" And "ORDER"
In the following fragment of code, I am querying a database that in order to display a list of films. The list is very long and I would like to offer the possbility to restrain the range of results showned by page keeping in mind that the user should be able to browse forward or backward data if applicable. I know that I have to add the LIMIT method in the MySQL query but I have a hard time figuring how not to get lost in setting it dynamically in the PHP script. Then I have a second question. Is there a more elegant / straightforward way to deal with the display order of the data (cf. $ot, $od and $oy)? Code:
Sticking "if" Or Changes Within A MySQL "where" Array?
I'm not exactly sure how to even ask the question, and I know my terminology is not good as I'm a SQL beginner, but, here goes. I need to find a way to make an if statement within an array...or, the "while" portion of a recordset. The best way I can ask is show what I mean. http://oscarguy.mechphisto.net/awardbrowse.php If you go there and select an award (like Best Picture), leave the year field alone, and select YES and submit, you'll see a lot of results. And I have HR's dividing each entry. What I need to do is group all the entries of the same year, or at least only put HR's between the blocks of years. So, I'd have all the entries for 2002, an HR, then all for 2001, an HR, etc. Here at the bottom I'll include my PHP code I'm using so far. But I have no idea where to even start looking for an answer...if it's even possible. If someone can just give me the name of the function or process or technique, then I can go Web/book searching myself...I just need a direction of where to go. PHP:------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ $query_RS_award = "SELECT * FROM $award WHERE id != Ƈ' ORDER BY year DESC, w DESC"; //$query_RS_award = "SELECT * FROM $award WHERE year = "$year""; $RS_award = @mysql_query($query_RS_award, $connection) or die("Couldn't query: " . mysql_error()); $totalRows_RS1 = mysql_num_rows($RS_award); while ($row_RS_award = mysql_fetch_assoc($RS_award)) { $award_id = $row_RS_award['id']; $award_tblid = $row_RS_award['tblid']; $award_award = $row_RS_award['award']; $award_year = $row_RS_award['year']; $award_category = $row_RS_award['category']; $award_won = $row_RS_award['w']; $award_film = $row_RS_award['film']; $award_nominee = $row_RS_award['nominee']; $award_note = $row_RS_award['note']; if (!($award_category)) { $award_category = "n/a"; } else { $award_category = $award_category; } if ($award_won == "1") { $award_won = " - Award Winner"; } else { $award_won = ""; } $display_block_Award .= "YEAR: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_year</span><br>FILM: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_film</span><br>CATEGORY: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_category</span><br>NOMINEE: <span class='normalText12White'>$award_nominee</span><span class='normalText12BoldWhite'>$award_won</span><br><blockquote><span class='normalText12White'>$award_note</span></blockquote><hr>"; }
Cookies And "include" Or "require"
i'm having a problem with my setcookie() instructions. Although there are absolutely no html tags in front of them,for some reason PHP3 sends me back the message "oops...php3_SetCookie called after header has been sent"... I do however use two "require" calls, one to a file with a .php extension, and one to a file with an .inc extension. At the beginning of each files there's a Could the cookie failure and the include functions be related ? In my text, I have even wiped out any HTML tags such as "bold, paragraph, line break" tags, even in "echo" commands, but to no avail what am i doing wrong ?

Why Use "Stripslashes" And "Addslashes" Function

Amount Of Data On Submit
Is there a limit on the number of characters that can be submitted at once through a form? I built this little emaildatabase and want to submit like a 1000 addies a time, seperated by comma, but somehow not all the data is sent through, is there a limit and if yes, is there a way to work around?
Saving Form Data Without Submit?
I could need some advise on a form / form processor I am working on. Normaly I store all form data through php into a class variable for later use. I do this by submitting the form. However I would like to ease the usage of my form and would want each form field to store its' information "onChange". I did this before with "onChange=thisformSubmit()", but that's not acceptable in this case. Is there any other sensible method to save fields individually? maybe using Ajax? Maybe there's a good tutorial somewhere?
Submit Form Data In Particular Encoding
I use some forms with search fields to look up some terms in external dictionaries. However, data need to be send in particular charset (for example, page with external dictionary uses windows-1250, so I need to submit data in windows-1250 charset to work properly). I tried to use form's attribute accept-charset for this - works fine in FF, but not in IE, it seems to ignore this attribute. I also tried to set POST parameters in header manually in desired charset, it would might work, but then the page gets loaded without CSS etc, bare HTML gets downloaded only..
User Must Submit Twice For Data To Send
For an odd reason that I cannot figure out on my own, when a user attempts to log-in on my Log-In page, they must press the submit button twice. They fill out their credentials (username, password), then press submit. The postdata is indeed sent the first time around. I used echo to show the values. Then a second submit is required for the if control structor to initiate the log-in sequence. This happens on index.php, the login.php page is included into index.php. This if statement looks for a session variable named "validated": // On index.php if ($_SESSION["validated"] == true) { // do stuff when the user is logged in (include files, ect) } else { // include the login page } However, the login page has a control structor looking for the presence of a $_POST variable... // On login.php if ($_POST["submitted"]) { // initiate validation function, return value into a variable if (/* Authentication variable returns true */) { $_SESSION["validated"] = true; } } I bet the issue lies in the order of the predefined variables, right? In my PHP.ini, the variables_order setting is set it it's default of EGPCS; Evironment, Get, Post, Cookie, Server. Is it that Post variables are being sent in the login.php to check if "submitted" is true, then the session variables sent to index.php on the second submissial?

Email Form Does Not Submit Data In Post Method
I have an email which contains a whole form to be submitted to the php code. When I use get method, it works properly, but when I make it to POST method, it does not work. Also, same HTML code as an pure HTML page works properly for POST method. What can be the problem? How can I make the email to submit the data through POST method?

Sending POST Data Without Submit Button Or Javascript.
say I have some data: $name = "Some Name" $email = "some@email.com" etc. I'd like to send these to a page as POST data, as if they were coming from a web form, but without having either a "submit" button or using Javascript's submit() function. Is there a way to do this?
How To Count "Hit" And "View"
I would like to know when a user logs in, he clicks Mike's E-mail. It will count one which mean "Hit". So that I will be able to know how many times users click Mike's E-mail. Like Sitepoint. When other users read other problems. Views will count 1. I would like to know how to do it. Could you explain with script?
