PHP :: Form Processing - Select Multiple

Multiple Form And Processing With A Process.php File
I got a multiple result form from dhtmlgoodies.com that looked like it was working great, but for some reason it will not send the multiple selected results to the process file. Below is the actual form file and a screen capture of what it is. then below that will be the example basic process file that should grab the arrays and echo them back. Code:

Select Multiple In A Form
When using select multiple in a form how do I retain the highlighting of the selected highlighted values after the form has been submitted?

<select name="cities[]" size="4" multiple="multiple" style="font: 8pt Verdana" id="cities_id">

Form: How To Read Array From Select-multiple
<form method="get">
<select name="users" multiple>
<option value="peter">peter</option>
<option value="paul">paul</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="select">
</form>

When I select both the string behind the URL is:

?users=peter&users=paul

How do I read BOTH variables?

Populating SELECT Multiple Form Field And Inserting Into Db
I have an update form where I'm trying to populate a SELECT multiple field with a list of 48 categories, from tbl work_cat. And show, as SELECTED, the one or many choices that the user had previously selected from the 48 categories which are stored in tbl cat_relations as $relation_cat.

Then allow the user to update their selections and update the database. But I can't get my form to work. First problem, I can't get the SELECT field on the form to show the categories, and then I don't know where to go from there. Below are my form page and my processing page. Code:

Multiple Select From Listbox And Execute A Sql Query Select Statement
Supposing i have a html form with 2 listbox and i name it status and resolution.

So it goes <select name='status[]'>... <select name='resolution[]'>

Then i have a another php page.
$status = $_POST['status'];
$resolution = $_POST['resolution'];

Now my question is, how do i do the sql query statement?

mysql_query("SELECT * from bugs where status=$status and resolution=$resolution");

The problem is, i select 3 options form the status listbox eg. new, closed, duplicate. And from the resolution, i chose fixed, invalid.

Dynamic Multiple Input Processing
I am creating a simple "or so I thought" php/mysql survey.
There are 3 types of Surveys, with different questions. 1 for Clients,
1 for Employees, 1 for Peers.
Questions for each survey are created, editable, removable, and drag/
drop sortable.
Options to these questions are dynamic themselves.

Basically, everything works except when I try to Insert the data into
the answers table.

The one question I'm looking for is how would one process the data
based on the respective question_id's?
Sending it to another page would require an excessive amount of _POST
variables, and like i said before, there are different questions for
each survey.

or would this work? (it doesn't seem to process)
if($submit){
for($i=$start; $i<=$end; $i++){
$query[$i] = "INSERT INTO answer(ansresult, ansdesc, idquestion,
idsurvey) VALUES('q_$i','exp_$i','$idquestion','$surveyType' )";
$result[$i]= mysql_query($query[$i]);
if($result[$i]){$success++;}
}

$msg = sprintf("Success: %d, Questions: %d",$success,$end-$start);
echo($msg);
}

Multiple Multiple Select Boxes
I'm looking to have multiple multiple-select-boxes on a page. But I
can only get the contents from the last selected value within a box,
via PHP. I've tried numerous methods. What am I doing wrong?

You can see ALL the values present in the url:
http://myserver/test.php?notify_use..._updcats=Update
e.g.......

Form Processing
I created a form and after submission it is checked if the user filled out certain field. If not he/she kan try a Try Again button and is returned to the page with the form.
I constructed the form so the different textfields after the user clicks Try Again still contain the details she previously filled out. This works fine with ordinary text input fields, but not at all with checkboxes and a textarea, presumably because these fields do not have a 'value' attribute that could contain the $textarea or $checkbox variables.
Hope I made myself clear.

Form Processing
I have a file (index.html) and this file will be submitting some information to a PHP file (file1.php). In file1.php, there will be a few tests on the data submitted, and depending on weather or not the data is acceptable or not, it will eather forward the data to another PHP file (file2.php) or return to index.html with an error.

My problem is I don't know of any way to forward the data submitted to file1.php, to file2.php. Adding to the original problem is that file2.php is located on a different server, and its contents will not be given out.

Form Processing
i am currently building a site that will provide a free e-mail service hosted by bigmailbox.com. i am also providing a community area, where users can sign-up and post messages. i was wondering if there would be a way to combine the form for the e-mail program with the form for the community and add the same username and password to both programs.

here's what i would like to do: have one form that would include several different fields.
upon submitting the form, i would like for some of the variables to be posted into my mysql database, and other variables (some of the same ones posted to the database) be passed to a cgi script on bigmailbox.com's servers.

Form Processing
Been working on this for weeks and am quite frustrated that none of my varied modifications have made much of a difference. Is anybody able to help me out with this? I have abbreviated the code to highlight the problem areas.

When the form data is emailed, if more than one checkbox (each with a distinct name & value), is checked, the info output in the email of selections #2 and #3 are repeated 2 - 3 times. Other than that small glitch, everything works perfectly. Code:

Form Processing
I'm trying to build a registration form. I have the form completed and everything. The action of the form is currently on _Server['PHP_Self'] so I can view if the script is working without actually inserting anything in a database. I currently new to PHP, so I can't understand everything on why it's not working properly.

I have 6 input fields , for the user to put in. Here is the code I currently have. The problem I'm having is I have this certain line in the code if ( eregi('^[[:alnum:].'-]$', stripslashes($name) ) ) to check for openspaces or anyother character. Now I have it saying that if it is true, echo a line, so I can see it is currently working. The problem is even is there is only letter in it, it still does the 'else' function. I don't understand why. Code:

Form Processing
I have a MS Access database which holds my products. On my products.php page i use PHP to access the products and output them in a list on the page. As well as displaying the results i echo out a text field after each record displayed called 'code', which is for the user to enter the product code of the item they wish to buy into.

Because text field will appear after every record in the database i have called it 'code' in order for me to then have some php code submit all of the fields which the user has filled out and place them in a single field within my database and have each order nuber separated by a comma. Code:

Processing Dyn. Form When I Don't Know How Many Rows
I build a form dynamically from a mysql database, and then name each record to build a form. How do I "display" it once it is submitted if I don't know beforehand hand many rows, and therefore, how many IDs there are going to be? Code:

Form Processing Within PHP_Self
I am running forms from one script, posting at PHP_Self... So, whenever I want to process some submitted data, I use PHP Code:

Processing Form Data
I've just built a form that enables users to pick a city from a pull down menu. On the processing page i want to assign the city picked to a variable. So lets say the name of the form is "city" and i want to assign the city picked to a variable.

$citychosen = ********

What do i use to get the chosen city there. I want to use the variable in the next part of the page which uses an SQL query to show info about the city chosen. So the SQL query would look like this Select * from table1 Where city=$citychosen .

Form Processing With Checkbox ?
I am currently writing a webpage that displays a list of records (
each record has a checkbox associated with it) to allow users to
select any record they want to delete (much like in "hotmail" or
"yahoo" e-mail where u can select particular message to delete) ?

Anybody have any idea how to do it ?

And one more question, I like to write my page so that when the user
click on a checkbox associated with a record. That record (that row)
is highlighted (like in "hotmail"), anybody has any idea how to do it
?

Php Form Processing Program?
Are there open source php form processing programs? I know there are free
php form mail code, but if it's classified as open source, I would think any
bugs can be fixed much faster. If not, then which free program is the perfer
choice?

Dynamic Form Processing
Im writing a script for processing a form created by a csv file. this form is created through a loop, where $num is the place in the loop. Code:

Odd Result From PDF Form Post Processing
I have a PDF form that contains a submit button with an associated action that causes the populated PDF file to be submitted to my web server, similar to POSTing an HTML form, but instead it happens via Acrobat, no HTML involved. Code:

Selective Form Data Processing
I have *quite a bit* of form fields for a certain form that needs to be eMailed. The problem is that when completely filled out, there is quite a bit of information to be emailed. How would I go about telling the PHP to ignore any forms that are not filled out -- letting it process less code? If this helps, the coding for the page that does the actual processing is: Code:

Drop Down Menus And Form Processing
I select a client from the first drop down menu, then a list of events for that client is shown in the second drop down menu. I then want to select the event from the second drop down and automatically go to a form I built "editevent.php3" showing information echoed from mySQL for that event. I have started the code, but know it is not complete. Code:

Form Processing With Input Validations
I am creating a form Form1.php that posts to the another form
Form2.php.

I have input validations on the first form. I need the user to go to
the next form ONLY if the inputs from the user are valid. I have not
been able figure out how to do this since the first form always posts
to the next form no matter what.

I would really appreciate if somebody can share their php knowledge
and give me some idea on how this is done in php.

Processing Http Auth From Outside Form?
I'm trying to make it possible to login from a cpanel account from my main site login. I found some code that opens up the socket, but how would I then display or redirect to that page?

Just to reiterate what I'm trying to do, rather than having them type in: lonestarservers.com/cpanel/ and then have the http auth form popup, I want them to be able to type in their user and pass on the index.php page and have it process it for them without that http auth popup. Code:

Form Processing To MYSQL Database
That database and table are set up. The table is called 'reservations' and it has 5 fields to hold the input data. However I keep getting this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/htdocs/paul/reservation_send.php on line 38

The funny thing is though that there is no lone 38, the script finishes on line 34. Any ideas on this one? Is the coding I have used the best way to write data to a mysql database or does someone have some better code. I am finding this quite frustrating as you would think it would be an easy enough script to do but I don't seem to be having much luck with it. Code:

Form Processing And Content Management Options?
I belong to an organization that needs to create a form by which people who want to present papers at a conference can submit their work for review. If they attach a paper, we would like there to be some kind of virus scan, but if we have them copy and paste the text of it in can it retain the paragraph breaks?

Ideally they want the submitted papers (either from the attachments or the text field on the form) to be accessible online; secondarily they are OK with everything getting forwarded to one person's e-mail.

Eventually they want to have this evolve into a content management system they can use to fully control and manage the paper submission, review and approval process, so if someone out there knows of a solution that could do this and we can start with now at the lower level that would be ideal. Based on my experience with PHP and understanding of how it works, I would like to do this in a PHP based system.

PHP Form Processing Hangs Page Load
I am trying to write a simple PHP script to process a form.. the
function seems to be working fine

// subscriber is the users email in the form
if (( $subscriber ) && ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') )

thing is while this processing is taking place the page load hangs...
in IE i see nothing the page background, in Firefox (even worse) I get
only 1/2 the page....

I would like the whole page to load the the processign to take place,
except that my PHP is 1/2 way down the page, inside the form

Enable/disable Html In Form Processing
I've got a form, where it submits some info and adds it to a txt file. The file is then displayed on the front page of my site; however, there is a security problem i'd like to fix dealing with html. How would you go about disabling the use of html in a form?

Form Processing And Sending MIME Attachments
I am trying to track down a feedback form similir to Matt Wright's script that would allow the the sending of File Attachements added to the email by the user. I am looking at using MIME email format, with an auto detection of mime type.

I would like the user to select a file via a browse button, then when the form is processed it attaches the file as a mime attachement. Is there anyone who could help me? or provide me with some urlsof where I could find such a script?

Problems With Form Processing: Array_key_exists() And While (list($k,$v) = Each($arr))
I have an HTML form I'd like to process.

<select name="items[]" multiple>
<option value="doughnuts">Hot Doughnuts</option>
<option value="coffee">Hot Brewed Coffee</option>
<option value="tea">Hot Tea</option>
<option value="cake">Sponge Cake</option>
<option value="chips">Hot Chips</option>
</select>

The problem I have it where I follow the Programming PHP book:

// Should the 's' be the name of the select tag, or the name of
// the submit button?

if (array_key_exists( 's', $_POST ))
{
$selected = "User selected these options:

";

while (list($k, $v) = each($_POST['items']))
{
// Is $v "doughnuts" or "Hot Doughnuts"?
$selected .= "$v
"
}

// ...
}

Newbie ?: Need Sample Form Processing Scripts
I'm on a very short deadline and I need only to process an HTML form
with a few data fields. I need to do three things, all three
triggered by form submission:

1. capture the form field names and their matching values,

2. Write that data to an email and send the email to one or more
addresses as a single message with multiple recipients.

3. Write the same data into a comma AND quote delimited text file.
Save the file in a named server sub-folder. If the file exists,
append each subsequent form submission. If not, create the file and
write the first record.

Perhaps I've missed such scripts in my own searches on the web and on
php.net. Can anyone point me to some web sources for examples of
such PHP scripts just to get the ball rolling?

Html Form Processing - Saving Data To A File...
ok.. basically, what I'm doing is setting up a very basic news script base on flatfile storage (mostly to teach myself PHP by doing, which is the best way I've found to learn).

set up the php and the html templates first, and all that works fine. I set up the admin menu, and have a edit config script that works great (edits the config and file locations values via an admin form)

now, am working on a script for the admin to edit those html template files directly from the admin panel.

PHP Form Processing With URL Parameters And Forwarding To HTML Page
I felt this query would be relevant to HTML
and PHP forums.

I am currently modifying a PHP IMAP script which allows the user to view
their email via a web browser. I have made use of URL parameters which are
passed to the webserver, and processed by the PHP code (better than
javascript). No problems so far :)

When I have reached a point where I no longer need these parameters, I use
PHP header/location forward to reload the HTML form page. If my page was
http://www.mysite.com/ foo.html and I was forwarding** to this specific URL
(without any ***?myval=????&anotherVal params).

When I reload the form**, I keep my URL parameters that were present*** the
previous time the form was processed (they are there in the URL_REFERRER).
Can someone tell me how to lose the parameters, so I just forward to
foo.html. :)

Processing Form Data And Emailing It In Html Format
I have a form that when submitted it just sends a regular email in plain text with all the information. However I would like to be able to format the email so it is more organized with a table that contains the submitted information. However all the tutorials I have gone over does not show how to pull information from the form fields and put them in the html message itself.

They just show how to send an email in html format without any form data. My current code below is what I have been experimenting with and just sends plain text. Can anyone give me some assistance as to how to have the form data submit in html? Code:

Processing Radio Boxes And Hidden Form Fields At The Same Time
I have a form that needs to be checked. It contains 4 radio boxes a submit button and 4 different hidden fields. How do I get my php script to check if a radio box has been selected and tell the user to check a radio box if he hasn't?

The script I am currently using doesn't work; if the user chacks some thing then it proceeds as usual, but if it is left blank then the program freezes up and nothing is displayed apart from the stuff outside the <?php?> tags.

Processing Data From Multiple Multi-line Textareas Into A Multi-dimensional Array
I know that this sounds like something overly complex - because it is.
However, if I can keep the user interface the way it is, my users will
be ultra happy! That is the goal...

In general, this is an inventory receiving piece of an overall larger
web-based ERP system.

What I have is a form in which I have a dynamic number of multline
textareas for inputting (possibly barcode scanning in) many serial
numbers per line item recieved.

For example:
lineitem01 = widget01; qtyReceived = 2;
lineitem02 = widget02; qtyReceived = 3;
lineitem03 = widget03; qtyReceived = 10;

This would display a form that will generate 3 textarea elements (1
per lineitem received). Inside each textarea element will be input the
serial numbers for each of the widgets received per lineitem. i.e. 2
serial numbers will be entered for widget01; 3 for widget02; and 10
for widget03;

So, what I am trying to do is pass this data over, possibly as a multi-
dimensional array to another form ( or possibly $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ) to update a MySQL database to store the widget/serial numbers.

Posting Multiple Select
I'm having a little problem, in my form, I have to select multiple lines in a 'select' field and post it for processing.

Now in the $_POST-variable, there is only the last selected item visible.

How can I post every selected line?

Multiple Select Box Question
I have a list box on my page which I dynamically populate from the database. My question is, if I allow people to have multiple selections from this, how would I retreive the selections that they have made? example:- if I name the select box "Jobs", would i be able to do something like:- PHP Code:

Getting Multiple Data From <select>
Can anyone give me a quick hint for this?

Say, I have: <SELECT NAME="opt3" SIZE="15" multiple>

Then I'd like to list the items selected...
echo $_POST["opt3"];
but this gives only the first one

how do I get the rest?

List Box Multiple Select
I am trying to create a drop down list that permits a person to select multiple items from the list and have the results posted on a results page. I am using Dreamerweaver MX, PHP and a MYSQL database. I was able to select multiple items but only the last selected item would be displayed. I tried to modify the list box code and now it returns nothing. Code:

Select Multiple & Mysql

Select Multiple Code
need to be able to generate a multiple select in a form using php and then write the reults to a relation table between a resource table and a look-up table..i.e.

table 1 list of resources

table 2 list of options for element in table 1

table 3 a many to many resolution table between table 1 and table 2

I can do this if only one option is select from a drop down list, code below:

Multiple Tick-box Select
I have a list and what I would like to do with this list is have a tick-box next to each one, so someone can select multiple things out of the list. Then, once they click "submit", it displays just the things they selected.

The list in the data is displayed from a database by repeating the rows, so if there are 3 rows, it displays it in a table repeating the <tr><td><?=$thing?></td></tr> until it ends.

I know how to do forms, just not how to post only the selected data, to display it on a different page.

Multiple SELECT COUNT()'s In One Query?
I'm creating a script that, fairly often throughout, I need to use a SELECT COUNT() query on two seperate tables - this seems to be slowing the script down quite a bit, and if the script remains this slow, it won't be of much use to me...which would be very bad!

Is there anyway to combine these two to grab the COUNT() value from both in one query?

Select From Multiple Tables In Db From A Newbie
I have a db with 34 tables with all the same feilds, and would like to select 1 columb from all these tables. Is this possible from a select query, if so a example would be great.

You may well ask why have i 34 tables all the same, but i thought is was a good idea to set out the tables as per my catagories when i was constructing them. But now i know i can do them all from 1 table with multiple fields.

PHP Handling Of Multiple Select Fields
If I have a select element of a form that have the MULTIPLE attribute with name="temp", what will the variable names be in the action page (POST)? Will the first one be $temp[1], second $temp[2] and so one? This does not appear to be the case.

Multiple Select Box Search Queries
I am trying to create an elegant query together with a multiple select box, tbl_level linked by a foreign key. Sample code below:

$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT Firstname,.... FROM .... ";

//conditional statement to determine whether WHERE clause is needed
if($_POST["FirstName"] != "" {
$sql .= "WHERE ";
if($_POST["Firstname"] != "") {
$sql .= "Firstname LIKE
"".addslashes($_POST["Firstname"]).""" }

//select box entries array Level

if($_POST["Level"] != ""){
$i=0;$query.="( ";
foreach ($_POST["Level"] as $val{
if ($i >0){$query.= " AND ";}
$query .= "tbl_level.LevelCatID LIKE $val ";
$i=1;}
$query.=" )";
$query.= " AND tbl_name.NameID = tbl_level.NameID"; }
//query database

I can't use this as only a single Level select selection works, if user selects more , I can' t search the Level column for 2nd input from the select box using this. I am trying to avoid too many calls to the database, As I have several multiple select options for user to input for searching.Am trying to call single complex query at the end of code.
