PHP :: File Form - Keep Local Path Info On Reload

Posting Local File Info To A Php File!
I have a script that I run locally and im trying to get the info to post to a php file so that I can view it in a browser. What I need to know is how to set up the receiving php to post it to the .html . Now I thought it went along the line of creating the php file and putting it on the root of the server then running the local script against a that php info file and it would dump the info to a browser but it wont work like that (I'm guessing cause it's a local script and not on the web)

I know this line is sending it to the .php in that directory but I don't know how to set up the receiving php I guess is my problem.

gosub phpsend www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com /xxxxx/xxxxxxxxx.php %sendstring

I guess what I need to know is whats the best way to post the received data to a browser after the script runs. Or to set up the receiving php file as for outputting it I can create the page I just need to know how to receive it .

Getting The File Path From A Html Form Input
I want to get the file path from a file input field, not just the filename. I don't have to necesarily use the input of type 'file', but that is the only way i know how to have a browse button.I tried using javascript to fetch the content of the file with this function:

function GetDirectory(){
   strFile = document.FileForm.filename.value;
   intPos = strFile.lastIndexOf("");
   strDirectory = strFile.substring(0, intPos);
   alert(strDirectory);}

but i don't know how to pass the javascript variable to the php.

Full Local Path Of $_FILES
When processing a standard file upload form, is it possible to save the full local path of the file? If there is an arror on the form, I want to re-display the file name in the field when it reloads. This data doesn't seem to get posted. All the local path info is stripped off.

How To Find Full Path Of A File Upload Field In A Form?
I need a way to find the full path of a file uploaded by file upload form box.
$_FILES['file1']['name'] gives just file name.

I have a file upload form and if the user submitted something wrong I want the page to go back and have the forms maintain its values (the full path to local file, e.g: "c:/docs/landscape.jpg"). Any way to do that? This is a more complex applications so using another upload tool is not an option.

Php Form Reload
I want to make a search form which contains make, model and year of make as search condition. All these information should be taken from the database. After selecting the make the model selection menu should take the value which is coming under the same make. Is it possible to reload the same page and take the value from the database. or it is possible to add a select table values where the select query contains a criteria which is taken from the same just before that.

Reload Form Data
I am developing a web site using php. I have a form for login in page1, which has two input box and a submit button. When I click the submit button in page1, it runs page2. When I click BACK button(now in page1), and FORWARD button (supposed to be in page2). Both IE and Netscape give me a message like the following (note: the browser cache is not turned off either by php header() or by browser setting):
*********************************************
This document resulted from a POST operation and has expired from the cache. If you wish you can repost the form data to recreate the document by pressing the
reload button.
*********************************************

When I press the RELOAD button, page2 is load correctly. Now, how can let the browser automatically do the reload without showing me the above message?

Reload The Same Page With A Form After Submit?
I have a page with a form, and the code to process the form answers, I want the same page/form to just reload when the user presses submit. The only function I have found is that location command. PHP Code:

PHP Form Keeps Resending Information On Reload.
I have PHP form that is basically a contact page when the user clicks on submit. I have the page update with your message that says it has been sent, but now if the user clicks on reload it ask to resubmit the information over again. And that's where i want to stop this so when the user clicks on reload it will not resubmit the information again. How can this be done?

Can Header() Do A Div Reload Without A Page Reload (ie Ajax-type)?
I have a display page (displaypage.php) divided into two panes - one for content and one for feedback, referred to in the CSS as contentDiv and feedbackDiv respectively.

When I click on a word in the content pane, I do a PHP/PostgreSQL search for similar words, and the results appear in the feedback pane without a page reload. For this, I am using a very basic Ajax setup Code:

How Do I Reload The Php.ini File?
I can't figure out how to make PHP reload it's php.ini -file. I changed the default dirctory for storing sessions but can't make PHP re-read the file and apply my changes.
I'm using PHP 4.0.4pl1, Apache 1.3.14 and MySQL 3.23.34 on Windows 2000.

Stop File Reload When Page Is Refreshed
I have a section of PHP code at the beginning of the page that loads a file which the user has specified in the form, on the same page. The problem is that everytime the page is refresh with the refresh button, the file loads. I want the file loading to happen only if the user has pressed the submit buttom.

Displaying File Path In File Input Field
i have file input field in a form like this:
<input name="isbn" type="text" size="25" value="<?php echo
$_POST['isbn'] ?>" />
<input name="image" type="file" size="25" value="<?php echo
$_FILES['image']['name'] ?>" />

when i press "submit" button, the same page gets loaded... if my
$_POST['isbn'] is empty, i want to have the file path on "file input
field" to redisplay on that same field... it's possible in text input
field but i don't know of a way to do it in file input fields...

Php Form Info...
have a form, with a text input "fieldname".
method POST

$var = $_POST["fieldname"]

$var is then used to search in mysql

select * from table where jobtype like '$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var'
OR jobtype like '$var' order by date asc;

basically i'm doing a search for any string that matches the searched
input, being at the beginning, middle or end of the jobtype column.

query works great, except when the string contains the 4-letter word
'info' such as information or informative
then the mysql query breaks down and give the usual:

Error performing query: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'ORDER BY date ASC' at line 1

Now after much debugging, i found out that the php _POST variable
treats anything with info as a numner of 0 value.
inf is treated as text, nformation is treated as text, but anything
with info gets a 0 value.

Searched php.net and couldn't find anything related to this feature,
looked under security to see if it was related to that, but nothing.

Sending Attachment Form Local Drive With Mail()
With them help of newsgroups I created a form that makes it possible to sent
an email with an attachement thats on the internet.. How can i attache a
file thats on the users hard drive? ....

Session Var Is Setting ONLY AFTER I Reload Page, Form Var Displays First Page Load
Page1 has a form that calls Page2. The beginning of Page2:
<? php session_start();
$s=$_POST['sSelected'];
session_register("s"); ?>

in the middle of Page2 I have a form varaible:
<?php echo $_POST['stateSelected']; ?>
<?php echo $_SESSION['s']; ?>

The form var displays the first time the page loads. The session var
displays only after reloading the page2.

Getting Info Out Of Dynamic Form
I am using the following code to produce a dynamic form.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,weight,date FROM weekly_data WHERE
weight IS NULL AND subscr_id = '$toss' AND date <= now()");
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
print"<table width=ï`%' id='catchup' border=Ɔ' cellspacing=Ɔ'
cellpadding=Ɔ'>";
print "<form name='form1' id='form1' method='post'
action='catchupprocess.php'>";
print"<tr>";
print"<td></td>";
print"<td>Weight</td>";
print"<td>Date</td>";
print"<td>Waist</td>";
print"<td>Measure</td>";
print"<td></td>";
print"</tr>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)){
//echo $result;
print"<tr>";
print"<td>";
print"<input name='".$row['id']."' size=Ɗ' type='text'
value='".$row['id']."'/>";
print"</td><td>";
print"<input type='text' size=ƌ' name='weight".$row['id']."'
value=''/>";
print"</td><td>";
print"<input type='text' size=ཆ' value='".$row['date']."'/>";

print"<td><input name='Reset' type='reset' value='Reset'></td>";
print"<td> </td>";
print"<td><input name='submitcatchup' type='submit'
value='Submit'></td>";
print"<td> </td>";
print"</tr>";
print"</form>";
print"</table>";
?>

Persistent Form Info
I have some forms that have different parts, and it decides which parts to display through the url ie form.php?showpart=1, showpart=2, etc. If I want to show another part and change the url all the form info goes away. I'm a self taught PHP guy, I'm decent but not amazing. My current solution is to use AJAX to write/modify a cookie everytime the user writes something and bring that in when they change the page. Is there an easier way?

Printing Out Info From A Form
I have this php function that reads a text file for input to create a form. I am trying to get the form to print out the data on a separate page, but all I get is a blank page. Am I calling the page correctly, or is this even possible to do? Code:

Referer And Keyword Info Sent Via Form?
I've learned that HTTP_REFERRER, at least in my tests, returns the page visted on the current domain before the form page, not the domain visited before the current domain, so that hasn't been useful. I don't know how I would get keywords in this case. I've searched around for scripts or tutorials and have been surprised to find nothing helpful

The site in question has a separate stats package, but it doesn't track converting keywords and that's really what I'm after. There isn't high volume traffic, so getting them individually via a form (rather than input into a database) isn't a problem.

My question is really whether what I'm trying to do is possible with a few lines of code, or have I underestimated the complexity of the task?

Populating A Form Wth Database Info
I've coded a piece of code which populates a form with data read from the database:

$connection=mysql_connec ("localhost", "f2821842", "f2821842");
$result=mysql_select_db("QUERIES");
$query=mysql_query("Select * from Emp_Details where emp_num = '$employnum'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{$empname=$row['emp_name'];}

<form name="webregform" action="webadmin2.php" method="post">
<input name="requiredname" type="text" size="30" value="<?php echo "$empname"; ?>">
</form>

When I echo the $requiredname, I get spaces and no data, and I know that $empname is not a space-it does read a value in a database. 1. How can I get $requiredname to print a value?

Insert Form Info Into Database
i am trying to enter info from a form into a mysql database. when i submit the form, a new row is created, but the information isn't contained in it? any thoughts? PHP Code:

Filling Form With Database Info
I have a table with 5 fields for a tour business activity list
: (1) id -table key (2) name (3)description (4)picture -text link not
binary(5) country. I would like to create a form that takes all the
activitys an puts it neatly down on site in checkboxes so user can
select activtys.this will be linked to form mail.i would like the
activitys to be seperated by the country they r in?

Some Users Can't Enter Info Through My Form To My DB
I set up a comment page on my site and most users can enter comments. the page refreshes and shows the comments below. however, some users can't enter comments. what should I be looking for to resolve this?

Writing To A Local File
We have a PHP/MySQL database application. A user would like to be able
to run a routine to read selected data from the database and export a
flat file to their local C: drive. After reviewing the documentation
and posts, it is not clear how to do this, or even if it is allowed by
the browser. If someone could point us in the right direction, we
would greatly appreciate it.

The application is hosted on a Linux server.
The users are required to use Internet Explorer running on Windows 2000
or XP (we also use VBScript).

Can I Launch A Local .bat File With PHP?
I need to write small web app that can launch a few .bat files from a local machine.
Is this possible with PHP, or would javascript be a better option? All i need to do is select the file (some HTML) then have a button to execute.

Check If A File Is Local
Is There A Function Or Method Which Can Check Wether A File Is Local.

Validating Form Info Before Inserting It Into Database
I have been trying to create a PHP application where you can add customer contacts to a MySQL database.

Now, my problem began when I created a form where the user can add in a customer's name and info to the database. In an effort to alert the user that they may be adding a customer that is already setup in the database, knowing that some of the customers may have the same names, e.g. there is more than one Bobby Ray Brown, I decided to add a script that queries the "customers" table in the database and searches for all results that match the input from the user. Code:

PHP Displaying Info Input On HTML Form
I'm in an exercise where I've created an order form in HTML. The form displays properly and allows me to input certain test order info just fine. The relevant lines in the HTML form are: Code:

Getting Form Info Into A Mysql Select Statement
I'd like to get user input from an html form into a mysql select
statement. Here's where I'm stumped:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%search-string%'",$db);

I need to get the user's input into the '%search-string%' section, but I
do not understand how to do this. I can hard-code a specific search
string and it will work, but I want the users to be able to dynamically
define the search-string. So, I created a basic html form and used the
post method to grab their input, but now I can't insert that input into
the mysql select statement. Any ideas? I think it should be easy, I just
don't know how to do it. I've tried this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%$_POST["search"]%'",$db);

But it doesn't work. Below is the form in html and the php file:

<html>
<title>Search Test</title>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="search-db.php" method="POST">
<p>Enter Your Search: <input type=text name=search></p>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
-----------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<body>
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "Anonymous");
mysql_select_db("computers",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%surplus%'",$db);
echo "<table border=1>
";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
printf("<tr><td><b>%s</b></td></tr>
", $myrow[notes]);
}
echo "</table>
";
?>
</body>
</html>

Upload And Email Form Info At The Same Time
I need to upload something and also have an email sent at the same time after filling out a form. So they will fill out a form, decide what they want to upload and then hit the submit button and it will upload the file to my directory, where I can get to it, and then it will also email me the information I had them fill out in the form at the same time. Is that possible? What code would I use?

Taking Info From A Form, Saving It In A DB And Writing It To A .css
What I need to do is take "site info" from a form, save it to a database table called siteinfo, and then write style information based on the variables. Code:

Get Php File Name WITHOUT Path
I have a page in Apache with a path like "localhost/projects/main.php" and I need to retrieve only "main.php", or whatever the current PHP page name is.

Anyone would think that some of these methods should return the file name:

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']

But *ALL* of those methods return "projects/main.php"... d'oh! How can I retrieve the file name ONLY, without path?

URL From File Path Name
I know there must be a function somewhere for converting a local file
path name to the url path (i.e. /user/apache/htdocs/myDir/myFile.jpg
to /myDir/myFile.jpg) but I can't find it! Can someone tell me what
it is?

File Path
I was trying to use the ftp_put command. It worked for the files in the
same directory as my php file, but if I try to fetch a file somewhere else
on the server with the following syntax for the source file it doesn't work.

"serverdirectory_pathfilename"

also it didn't work with

"//server/directory_path/filename"

What is the correct way to access the file?

Get A File Name From A Path
Yes, this is almost like PARSE_URL, but no this is not what I want to do.

Simplest way to explain it is by example.

I want to turn this:

./`admin/plugins/top/*.php

Into this:

*

I want to get the name of the script IN the file. The files PATH, is not going to be /`admin/plugins/top/.
The paths will be ./`admin/plugins/* (top | middle | bottom).

How would I convert these names?

Reading Local File Not On Server
I am trying to parse a file which is located on the users local drive and then take this data and put it into the mySQL DB. However, I get errors when I pass in a file path such as C:Documents and SettingsAdministratorDesktopfooSLInfo.txt.

Read File On Local Drive
lets assume that the sysadmin granted to read those files, what php functions needed? can u give me ur ideas how to do it?

How To Process A Local File Rather Than Just Read It
I can read a local file with

fopen("myFile.php");

However this gives me the source of the file (i.e. php code). I want
to get the results of the file after it has been evaluated (i.e. HTML).

The obvious way of doing this is

include 'myfile.php'

However, I want to process the evaluated result. For example:

echo htmlentities( include 'myfile.php' );

This doesn't work because the result of the include statement is true
or false rather than a string.

I'm sure this is very simple, but I'm just learning.

Passing Form Data To An Email Address/Excel Sheet On A Local Computer
I am right now learning PHP & want to know if there is a way to send
web form data to an Excel sheet located on a network. My windows xp PC
doesnot have a copy of Excel. Also i am not connected to the internet,
its a local computer.

What i am trying to do is to make a PHP script which will send a simple
form data to an excel sheet (or create a new Excel sheet) on another PC
on a network.

Since i am not connected to the internet, i will not be able to send an
email (anyway, sendmail is not available on Windows OS), nor do i have
any server on windows.

Is it possible to send form data to Excel sheet on local computer? Even
my PC is a local PC. Some one was saying its possible thru Windows
Scheduler.

Extracting The File Name From A Path?
I want to remove all from before the file name including the slash.

$filename = "some/path/to/filename.txt";

or

$filename = "some/other/path/to/filename.txt";

Is there a way to remove words that end with a slash?

$filename[0] = preg_replace('/.*/','',"$filename[0]");

--with-config-file-path
I want php.ini in my own place, say /etc not default /usr/local/bin.
So when I configure I use --with-config-file-path=/etc .... Easy !?
It dose not work, well it configure, make and make install ok but still
looking for php.ini in /usr/local/bin.

A script with phpinfo() tells me it looks in /etc but it still php.ini from
/usr/local/bin.

Using: Slackware 10.1, Apache 2.0.54, PHP 5.0.4

Displaying A File Path
Does anyone know how (in PHP) you can display the path of the current file? ex. (Home > PHP > Templates).I know you can do it in JavaScript, but I'd prefer to use PHP.

Move File Path?
I'm trying to move some files on my server but I cannot get the path
right. I've messed with this and can't get it right. Is there a way
to debug the path of a file on the server? Here is what I'm trying to
do. I have a upload.php file in root/beta/upload/upload.php and want
to move a file in the root to root/beta/files but I get error below.
What am I missing?

$file = 'After.jpg'
$newfile = '/beta/files/TestMe.jpg'

if (!copy($file, $newfile)) {
print "failed to copy $file...
";
}

Warning: copy(After.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or
directory in

Strings In File Path
How would I use a string in a file path? I want to use a string in an include but it doesn't work when I do this:

$usertemplate = "default";

include('templates/$usertemplate/index_body.tpl');

Browse For File Path?
Is it possible for a user to click a button (i.e. Browse), point to a local document, or a document on a networked fileshare, and then the application would save the path to that document, but not actually upload the file?

I.E.:
1. User clicks "Browse". (i.e. browses the filesystem just as he/she would if say opening a document from Word)

2. User selects the //fileserver/docs/document1.doc

3. When the user clicks ok, the application saves the path to the document.

4. The path is saved to a database with records and subsequent users can view that record and click the link to open the document from the fileserver.

Writing A Local XML File From A Parsed URL? Similar To RSS
I am trying to pull the XML data from the following stream:
http://......and write it to a local file.

Actually, what I would like to do is take the above stream and display
it into a website... much like displaying RSS feeds on a webpage.

I looked at javascript, but someone there pointed me to the PHP group.
I may not have worded the subject correctly.
