PHP :: Editing HTML In A Form?

Script For HTML Editing In A Browser?
I'm looking for a simple PHP-based solution that pulls a whole page or
tagged snippets (something like <!-- EDITABLE>Edit me<!--
EDITABLE_OFF>) into a HTML form, allowing non-technical users to udate
pages from their browser. The only "extra" required would be a simple
password protection.

Flypage (http://www.flypage.com) does this, but at $199 it's too
expensive for the small project I need this for.

Does someone know about free or shareware solutions? I have the
impression that this shouldn't require a lot of code if you don't need
fancy site and user management ...

HTML Editing Of .php Code Page ?
I run a few web pages that contains php code that was written for me
by someone else. By reading his original code I have leaned a little
and have made the occasional change. I would like now to add some
basic html to the page and prefer to use HTML editing software to
accomplish the task. I have run it to problems however. If I use
Mozilla HTMl editor in WYSWYG mode , any changes I make do not work.
After I upload to my server, all I see is a web page with mostly the
raw php code. I tried Page Breeze HTML editor and it will not load
.php files in to its WYSWYG editor.

So, any changes I make have to be done in raw source code mode, a
rather laborious task for this inexperienced HTML person. Is there
anything that would made the task of adding HTML to a php page ,
easier ? I'm not attempting to add anything in to the main body of
php code, just mainly looking to add some html tables with images
preceding the start of php scripts, or after php scripts.

Form Editing
I am trying to call information from a MySQL database in for form of an editable form. I want the info to be called into a box that can by typed in and so far that works.

What I want to do next is to be able to change what is in those boxes and click an update button which updates what was called from the database to what I typed in the box. The code I wrote is below and almost works. I'm not sure what the problem is. Code:

Editing Mysql Db Using A Php Form
I am working on a Sig Request database. People submit their request using a form and it's posted into a databse and then displayed beneath the request form. This is working fine. I am having trouble however with my edit.php file.

I want to be able to load a users information, which I have done using this code below. It displays in a form. I change 1 or 2 of the fields, such as the completed field and designer field and click update but it doesn't actually update the database.

The page first lists all the requests. It lists their ID, Name and then it says "Edit this Request" which opens a page with their sig request details in. Here is my code below for the edit.php file. Code:

Editing Text File With A PHP Form
I am trying to do something with PHP that i am sure is pretty easy. But not sure myself how to do it.

I have a file that i want to pull into a simple HTML Form text field. From that field the person can just add in content or remove content.. Click "Update" .. And it will write the new content out.. Overwriting the old file if need be.

Editing Submitted Form Using Variables
I'm working an e-mail form for my web page. I want people to be able to fill out information and when the click submit, get a page that basically says, "Here is the information, is it correct?"
Then they can click either, "Yes" (and it sumbits), or "No", and it goes to another page set up like the form filled out the first time, and grabs the variables and places them in the "values". This is the code I have so far: Code:

Displaying Data In A Editing Form
I have a form that has three checkboxes. A,B&C. Data from A & C has been entered into the database by serializing it.I now want to create a edit form where the user can view his choices ticked.

<form action="postoDb.php">
A<input type="checkbox" name="Choice[]" value="A">
B<input type="checkbox" name="Choice[]" value="B">
C<input type="checkbox" name="Choice[]" value="C">
</form>

//postodb.php
$bn = serialize($Choice);
sql ="insert into table (choice) values('$bn')";

Editing Datase Entries Via A Form
How would I go about editing a row in a database via a form? I know how to get the information in the text boxes. But what i would like to do is list all the rows in the database and then if i see that one of the rows needs editing or deleting i'll have 2 links under each entry (edit and delete)...and when i click "edit" it would open up a new page with a form with all the info in each text box so i can edit and then re-submit it...

Editing Text Files In Form Textareas?
I want to pull text files into a form text area and then edit them. to open the file I am using:

$toEdit = fopen ("../content/concept.txt", "r+"); which does not work at all unless I change the path to c:xxxxxxxxxx but I dont want to do that. If I use the hard coded path I get permission denied, if I change the file to read only it seems ok - however, I want to load it into a form textarea? Cant work this out, then I want to save it.

Its just to update a simple text schedule. there will be no special characters that need escaping etc. This is probably a pretty basic question but I have been asked to do this ASAP and my attempts so far have just confused me!

OT? Php Form And Html
Sorry to ask an old question, but I cant seem to get this simple php
to work. Ive looked at old postings and for whatever reason cant seem
to
get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im new to PHP.

My PHP works just fine (apparently), but doesnt work the way I want it
to.

All I want to do is accept a login and password and then send it off to
a perl script on 'submit'. It never appears to get into my 'if'
section,
any suggestions? I cant seem to get the following to work:

<html>
<body>

<?php

if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && ($_POST['login'] == 'login'))
{
print "Login: $login
";
print "Pass: $pass
";
$file = popen("/home/http/website/cgi-bin/gs_do_search.pl $login
$pass","r");
while ($line = fgets($file,1024)) {
// display it now
}
}
?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">

Login: <input type="text" name="login"><br>
Password: <input type="password" name="pass"><br>
<br>
<input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="login">
</form>

</body>
</html>

PHP XML XSL HTML Form
I am working on a generic (php) script to produce (X)HTML Forms through XML
and XSL based on field-definitions stored in a database.

The basic way i did HTML-forms in PHP was like this:
http://212.204.203.71/test/simpleform/simpleform.php

source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/simpleform.php

This basic form is validated when it is submitted to itself... if validation
fails then an error message is created and displayed on the page...otherwise
validation is ok and we can do some inserting in the database and/or
redirect to another page. Remark: the fields that are filled will be
automaically filled in if the page is submitted to itself (that will be my
problem in the XML/XSL version of this script).

Now we go over to the XML/XSL version of the script above: I therefore
created an XML file (holding the field definitions) see:
http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xml

And further i created an XSL file to transform the XML file into a HTML
form. see: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xsl

Then i used a file form.php to put the XML and XSL together using some PHP
xslt functions: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.php

source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/form.php

This all works fine but now the problem. I am looking for a concept of how
to get the formfields filled in again after submitting the form because in
XSL this is not as easy as with my basic form. I tried to send firstname and
lastname as parameters in the function call and to put them as parameters in
the xsl file but that does not work and it is not ok at all because my
intention was to build a generic script....

Hope you see my problem as it is hard to explain.

Html Form
Can anyone give me some code to tgake input from a html form and post it into my database.

How Can I Put XSL Tag Inside HTML Form Tag?
Sorry I couldn't find a XML/XSL group
I can only post these groups close to my subject.

In JSP (Java Server Page) you can do something
like this

<%
String v = myBean.getValue();
%>

<form .... >
<input name="myTag" value="<%= v %>">
</form>

You can do the similar thing in PHP.

But when I try in XSL I got error.

I have an XML file

<myTag attribute1="value1" />

Now I want to transform it into HTML form tag used XSL template
But XSL doesn't like this

<input name="myTag" value='
<xsl:value-of select="@attribute1" />
'></input>

How can I solve this problem?

HTML Form Issue.
I think that this problem might have a simple
solution. I have a html page which has a few text boxes. On the top of
the form I have the following line of code:

<form action="ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" method="POST">

Hence when the user clicks submit, my php script
"ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" should be called. In my script I just
have a simple echo statement which tries to display one of the values
in one of the text boxes.

<?php

echo "First Name :
";
echo $_POST['firstName'];
?>

firstName being the name of one of the text boxes on my html page. When
I click submit on the html page I get the following error message:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Method Not Allowed
The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL
/complimentary.html.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What am I missing here? Is this an issue with the server I am trying to
work on or is it something in the code I have written?

Categories In Html Form...
Is there any easy way to select a coulmn (categories) from a mySql Database and put it into a dropdown box in a html form to be used to add to the table, this way they wouldn't have to type in the category and just select it from a dropdown box. I need to do this in a way that it won't select every category as there could be 3 rows with dogs as the category, I only want dogs to show up once.

Passing HTML In A Form
What I am trying to do is pass HTML through a form in PHP. The form has to be in PHP format because I am really passing varables that have HTML in them.For example:

<font color="green">This is green</font>

Then when I assign the following: PHP Code:

Getting HTML Form Fields
I'm trying to figure out a way to get the values of input fields from a HTML form, and place them in a database. For example if a html form had 3 text boxes one for "name" one for "email" and one for "url" how would I go about getting those values? I also need it to grab the values from hidden form fields, is there such a function or class?

I know it will prob have to entail some regular expressions, but as I'm not too familiar with regxep could someone take a stab at it? Also any good tutorials on regexep would be nice too.

HTML Quick Form
I like HTML Quick Form and think that it is a great tool.. but I still
havent found any documentation that tells me how to use HTML Quick
Forms with my own table and my own layout. Is this possible?

Instead of the default positioning of form items the way it is done in
HTML Quick forms?

Html Form To Php To ODBC
I am new to PHP and programming in general. I am trying to create a 2 part html form to php file to query an MS Access database through an ODBC connection. In the end the user will be able to enter their search criteria into the given text boxes and the php file will query the database and return the results. My problem is that the php file is not recognizing the criteria entered into the html form, the form is sending the variables but the php is not recognizing them so my sql statements are not being carried out. I would be very appreciative if someone would take a look at the code I am using below and see if they can identify my problem.

Edit XML Using Html Form
I have simple XML:

<myXML>
<t1>My main Title</t1>
<t2>secondary title</t2>
<content>All kinds of good content</content>
</myXML>

All I want to do is make a simple CMS that can update the content inside the 3 inner nodes. I don't need to change, add or delete nodes. I thought of echo-ing the content to 3 html form inputs and fwriting to a new XML file to overwrite the old one using post method. Does this sound correct in theory? Does anyone know of an existing example of this method?

Launching PHP From HTML Form
i build an app using PHP/MySQL/web. the APP and PHP programm are both located on the CD.

step 1:
i want it to a first interface (installation phase) to be an HTML page.

step 2:
I want it to get some informations for the installation

step 3:
i want the form to launch a PHP page (on the CD) and using the PHP.exe (on the CD)

step 4:
the PHP page send my modules using FTP

step 5:
once the FTP transfert is finished, the PHP page open a new page (that has been just uploaded) on the web server.

my problem is in step 3, how is it possible to launch a PHP script from an HTML page which is not on a web server??

I can do it easily with a SHELL script but i prefer the graphic interface of an HTML form. I know it is either possible using GTK but i don't want to use it because i'm not surre the client has a JVM.

HTML Form To Database
Is it easy to create an HTML form that connects to a database through a data handling form. I have php 4.4 on my server and wrote all my scripts in 5.0 language and they dont run so i just wanna use an HTML form to submit to a database and to retrieve info from it.

HTML Form With PHP And MySQL
I'm building a content management system using PHP and MySQL so that we can add and remove projects from our website easily.

I want several dropdown lists with the options Yes/No (or radio buttons, whichever is easiest) in them and depending on the users choice it will add their choice into the db.

I have the Add page working fine, but the problem lies in the update page. if i go to my update page it pulls all the right information back into the HTML form from the DB until it gets to the dropdowns, which it doesnt like.

How can i make it select the appropriate option from the dropdowns depending on the DB? If i submit the changes it wont update it either and gives errors from the dropdown code. Code:

Posting To Php Without Html Form
I am quite familiar how to create a php page that POSTS or REQUESTS variables sent by an html form

HOWEVER, I am wondering if it there is a way I can post variables to another php page or page in general, with php, and skip the form all together,

for example:

I have this page that POSTS information from an html form
it make $id = $_POST['id'];
this page is called formprocess.php

now what i want to do is instead of having to use the html form to actually submit this data to formprocess.php, i want to submit this data with php

I have a page called send-data.php i want this page to send the 'id' variable straight to the formprocess.php page with no html form.

Retrieve Data Into Html Form
I want to retrieve fields from mysql table into html form to update those fields.

Inserting Record From Html Form
i am trying to insert a record into a mysql database with php3 I can't seem to insert data into a decimal 10,3 field..no matter what I enter, 0.00 shows up in the database. almost like it's trying to insert it as text, instead of a value... any ideas?

Simple Form On An HTML Email
I am sending out HTML emails to a list of addresses in a table and I am trying to put a simple POST form on each email consisting of a confirm submit button and a few hiddens.

The submit button should call up a popup that is on my server that says Thank You, we have received your confirmation etc.
The popup also holds some php/mysql that should update the table in question to say that the recipient has confirmed.

The HTML email is arriving OK, and the submit button is calling up the popup, but the form values are getting lost, so no database update is taking place.

Formatting Form Entry Into HTML
I was wondering how to go about allowing the information submitted into a form for something like a news service with a Mysql backend to have the ability to be formatted by the user for HTML attributes such as bolding text etc.

This question came about because I set up a press release and news section and have noticed that a number of users have asked if there was any way to make list items in their posts, and I wasn't sure what was needed to allow that type of functionality. Does it mean I have to start getting into WYSIWYG editors and the likes, or are their easier ways of doing it?

Jpg Photoshop... Php Or Html Form Problem?
Interesting problem...

I upload some jpg images using the usual html form / php methods. They work
fine on the page. But will not open in Photoshop... saying there is a disk
error. However, the photo will open in other viewers.

Havent seen anything yet via google... maybe my search parameters are too
narrow.

From Html Form To A Sitengine Link
My problem is this. I want a code, that would allow the phrase that i type in my html/php form, to be automatically put into a link in a search engine. I know how to do this with frames using variables, but how could i do that with opening new pages? How I would like it to go:

Variable That Holds A Html Form Name
What variable holds the form name when the contents of a html page is submitted to a .php page? I used the post method to send the forms results to the php page. My php script looks like this:

$CName= $HTTP_GET_VARS["form name"];

This is incorrect. There must be a specified variable in .php that holds the name of the form. My html form line looks like this:

<form name="Theory" method="post" action="http://www.mysite.com/JSl/Jschool.php4">

Missing Words In Html Form...
I have a problem with forms and php. I read information from MySql into $name.
If $name contains "John Doe", the first expression print "John Doe", while the second expresseion gives me a text field containing "John". WHY?

<?print urldecode($navn);?>
<input name="name" value= <? print $name;?>>

Sending Variables To An HTML Form
I have a form in an html file that sends to a PHP file for processing. The information is properly sent to the PHP file and it is processed and validated. What I want to be able to do is this:

If there are errors in the form (found in the PHP validation), send the user back to the HTML form with the form still filled out with the information that the user had entered.
I do not want the fields with errors sent back, just the good information. There are two seperate files, the html file and the PHP file.

Passing Datetime Through Html Form
I am writing a script that allows my client to update live events that he will be playing at, for the table i have made in mysql i have used datetime to hold this value as both a date and a time need to be passed. what is the best way of making sure that a user enters these values in a correct manner and then combining these values to become one variable. i was thinking that a select menu would be best as that way the client cannot make mistakes, and making one select menu for date and one for time.

Would this be the best way ??, how could i append the date variable to the time variable??
if a select menu is the way to go does anyone know of a script i can use to save me having to hard code the whole thing myself.

Loosing Date In HTML Form
as always i have a problem:-)

i'm using HTML form. User is adding some date to this form and after
that i'm generating plot. When plot is generated i can see en empty form
and a plot. I want to see filled in form and a plot. don't know why i'm
loosing all the data.

when user adds data to the form i'm doing something like that:

...index.php?operation=added..

if operation=="added" then blablabla..

(of course its pseudocode).

Form Script, Html Emails?
So I have this form script working, but whenever I mess around with headers it doesn't send the email any more. I'm looking to simply add one image into the top of the email. When I try to even add headers to get a From address and a reply to the email just doesn't send at all. So I haven't even messed with adding an image from my server, but I assume it just involves adding an img src tag to the beggining of my $message variable? Here's my code I'm using to try to send an html email via Post:

Using More Than One HTML Form Box To Insert Data
I want to be able to use multiple form boxes to insert data into one field in a mySQL database. Is their a PHP processor function or script that will do this?

Wrapping HTML Form Output.
I'm trying to use PHP to wrap the output of an HTML form before it goes
into a precompiled C cgi script.

Essentially, the company that I work for uses a purchased precompiled c
program for their shopping cart. This C program stores order
information, and when an order is processed and approved, records the
transaction and sends a template email to the customer with an invoice
describing their purchase. Since we're going to be selling a new
software product soon, they've asked me to write a script into the
website that will include License Keys to the product the customer has
purchased along with all other data about the order. The C program
DOES have functionality for custom variables, but it they've all got to
be neatly packaged and set up for the C code BEFORE the customer
completes the order, and I don't want these values to be evident at
that point, because a simple right click and View Source would expose
the keys to a non-purchasing client.

(I'm also going to mention in code a php file I'll call keyGen.php,
which will have one method called gen that will read a string, (which
I'll give from a cookie) and generate a key. I realize that reading a
cookie ain't a good way to do this, but I want to solve this problem
first then I'll find a way around the cookie problem).

So, what I'm thinking of doing is redirecting the Checkout button's
form, which previously pointed to the C CGI script, to point to a PHP
file, which I'll call Intercept.php, This php file will examine all the
form's inputs, repackage them, then use putenv and passthru to call the
C CGI with all the original form's variables as well as any new ones I
want to create. So essentially the code WAS

<html>
<form name=checkout method="post" action="/cgi-bin/shopper">
<input name="blah1">
<input name="blah2">
</form></html>

and now I need

<html>
<form name=checkout method="post" action="intercept.php">
<input name="blah1">
<input name="blah2">
</form></html>

and intercept.php as something like

<?php
include "keyGen.php";
$keyVal = gen($_COOKIE['basket']);
$keyName = "PASSLicKey";
$toInclude = "http://www.notawebsite.com/cgi-bin/shopper";
$toArgue = $keyName."+".$keyVal;

Formatting Email In HTML From PHP Form
I have a multi-page form called Dodosmail running our online
questionairre. Its written in PHP and works great. I just want to know
if there's a snippet out there that anyone knows about that can format
the results from the form into an HTML formatted email. There are so
many fields that it is hard to read the data if they arent put in
columns or tables. Any help would be appreciated. Im not a programmer
and hope I am in another life!

How To Populate HTML Form From PHP/MySQL
I have found many examples of how to access an HTML text field from
PHP, but cannot find the reverse - how to load an HTML form from a
MySQL database.

Specifically, I have an HTML form which contains several text boxes
that correspond to the fields in a MySQL file. What I want to do is
call a PHP form that reads one record from MySQL and then populates
all of the HTML fields on the calling form.

The call to MySQL is not a problem - that works and I can use "Echo"
to verify that I have successfully read a record. Now, how do I get
that data back into the original HTML form?

Including Html And Css Into A Form Email
Alright, so on my website I have a form. Customers can fill it out and an email is sent to a specified adress, blah blah blah.

Now, I need to make a form that does the same thing, but I need to include images and CSS into the body of the email. So far I have not figured out how to do this.

The portion of my script that controls whats in the email is as follows:
$msg2 = "
Name: $name

Email: $email

Phone: $phone

Adress: $adress

City/State: $citystate

Zip $zipcode

Services?: $pruning
$spray_fertilization
$removal_stumpgrinding
$planting
$other
$serviceother

Outline of Work: $outline

Comments?: $comments
";

Simple and easy for just a text based email. When I try to add HTML the whole script just goes kaputt.

HTML Form Field Value And Php Array
I am creating a html form which has 5 html list menu and menu value get store in array after hitting submit button. The value stores in PHP array and then print on same page and then after re checking the value If i want modification then click the edit button and value re store in the same html form.

Here we are not using the database. If it is possible then please provide me the code and if there is any other solution to this problem them please guide me. for above problem please avoid the java script in php code.

Displaying Variables In Html Form
Below i have a form which i want to be filled with variables sent from the last page. can anyone tell me why the variables are not showing - I think its something to do with the syntax of the php inside the html form Code:

Form To Edit Html Code
I have a html page with tables and cells. 9 cells with text in them with "onclick=MM_setTextOfLayer" for each name in the cell/tables. And I need to make an php form that will change the name in one of the 9 designated cells/tables (by choice) and the value of the onclick in the src code. And over write the old stuff.

Displaying A Html Form With Php Echo
I a have a form for users to enter details. Before the form is shown the user enters a number of values they need to enter.

So the amount the user enters first is the anount of rows the user is given to enter there details. To do this iv used a while loop and a $count variable.

My problem is with echoing the form. I must be doing it in a completly non standard way as allthough firefox displays it perfectely ie doesnt display it at all. Code:

Strip_slashes() And Html Form Security
is strip_slashes() good enough to use to stop sql or php or html manipulation entered in to a html form post box?

I understand there is still JS issues that i haven't looked into yet and url manipulation with mysql. Any short advise on those topics are appreciated but for now im just worried about html forms. Is killing slashes suffice? I know with a comma you can allow certain tags for certain situations.

the form is username and password login and register for now, i havent used it anywhere else yet just so you have an idea what im working with.

HTML Variable In Auto Response Form
This formmail works. Auto responds fine. When I change the $my_message variable, from what is listed, to HTML code, it cancels out the latter PHP code(which is the autoresponder). The HTML code I insert into the $my_message variable, includes Javascript functions, which I assume are causing problems with the PHP, because when I remove the JS function, the "color code" in my editor, looks normal, with the latter PHP coding back in place, but it still doesn't work.

Basically, I'm just trying to figure out how to autorespond an HTML email instead of just Text. Code:
