Form Validate Against MySQL Data
Was just wondering where you would start if you wanted to validate against MySQL data. In this case, validate a username and password from a form against a username and password in a MySQL database.
Also, how do you make it so that when you have a 'password' form field on a document, the letters don't show up? It shows up as *****.. is that some type of encryption??
One more thing, how would I go about 'turning off' or 'closing down' a sign-up page once the sign-ups have reached 32 users?

Comparing Form Data To Mysql Data
Im interested in building a script that would take form data, a variable like an address, and compare it with a known address in a mysql table (called addresses), then if there is a match log the address information in a separate table called (addresslog), and return the visitor to a certain page. If there is no match between the address entered in the form and known addresses then the information is still logged into the addresslog database but the visitor will be sent to a different page. I'm still new to this, and am working through the logic and the syntax, but I believe I'm close. It's still not working, I have all of the proper tables, maybe I'm way off with the coding so I thought I would seek out some expert advice. Here's the entire script with as much explanation as I could give. PHP Code:
Validate A Form
This form will have infinite amount of users loaded into for when we need to take attendance at meetings. How can you validate could for each of these radio groups when you are unsure of how many there will be because the amount of members can grow and shrink with time? Once this is validated, I would like to Insert the user id, member id , and attendance into a table. I do not yet understand how to validate this code and create an insert sql statement that will take into account that in week it may have 100 members but next time it may have 200, for example. Code:

How To Validate Contact Form Fields?
I was just wondering how to make my contact form recognize if the user has actually entered any information into the fields. Right now if the user just clicks submit then an email will be sent to me without them having to enter any info into the fields.. Please can someone tell me how to prevent this? I would also like to know how I can filter the message field from letting the user enter in profanity? Code:

Strpos To Validate A Form Field
I am trying to validate a form field. I have provided an example below. Basically I want to check that 'a' ($findme) is the 1st and 2nd character in the string (0 and 1 position). <?php $mystring = 'aakjhabc' $findme = 'a' $pos = strpos($mystring, $findme); // Note our use of ===. Simply == would not work as expected // because the position of 'a' was the 0th (first) character. if ($pos === 0) { echo "The string '$findme' is the $pos digit"; } else { echo "The string '$findme' was found in the string '$mystring'"; echo " and exists at position $pos"; } ?> I am wondering, can strpos be used to find the specific character more than once in the string? As you see above, the 'aa' is the first 2 characters in the string. $pos equals 0 because it finds the first 'a' in the string, and I guess it doesn't look for the 2nd 'a'? If strpos can't be used for what I want, what other method can I use? I'd like to keep it in an IF statement and relatively simple. Any help much appreciated. Thanks for reading.
Form Validate, But User Doesnt Have To Retype
currently i have a form, and when users click on the submit button, the contents get validated, and if there is a mistake, the user is brought back to the form page. What i want is to free the user from having to retype the sections that they got correct, and only retype the sections that are wrong. I am thinking of getting the form to send the content to my validation page, and back to itself $PHP_SELF so that if there is an error, the message will still display. Is this the correct way to do it? Code:

Getting Data From Mysql To Put Into Form
i am trying to set up a page that will allow the user to select a name from a list. The details of this name(ie, last name,address, job etc) are then taken from a database and put into a form. If any changes are needed the user makes them then presses a submit to update the database. I can get the information out of the database and into the form fields but i have one small problem... In the address field i can only get the first part of the address... ie if the address is 123 Sample Street only 123 gets put into the form field. How do i get the rest of the address to appear? i am sure it is quite simple but cant quite put my finger on the answer! my code is: Address: <input type="Text" name="address" value =<?php echo $myrow["address"] ?>><br> where $myrow is the array holding the results from my database query. Any help would be appreciated!
Web Form Data To MySQL DB
I pulled this script off of an MySQL article from the MySQL website itself. I adjusted it to my needs and I could connect to the DB, it could find the proper table, but it doesn't enter the data into the database table.

It looks like everything should work, but when I check my database, nothing has been updated....

Can Php And Mysql Process Stored Form Data Created Offline?
A customer of mine has given me a task that has me stumped... My customer meets with his new clients away from his office with a laptop. At his office he is running a redhat server, apache, php, mysql....the usual stuff. His laptop has windows xp. When he meets with the new client, he wants to fill in a from and have the data stored on his laptop. After returning to the office he would like to upload via his web app (php/mysql based) the new client data into his database. Basically: fill in form offline ---> return to office and connect to web app ---> upload and review stored form data ---> process new client data into database Where do I begin? How do your create the form? How would you process the form? What's the simplest way to process the data into the database? I'm sure I'm missing a few questions here.
Displaying Data From Mysql Database In A Drop Down List On Form.
I'm trying to do is display data from two different mysql tables from the same database in a drop down list on a html form.

Interact With MySQL To Validate Login Information.
I'm creating a website with two parts: a community site and a member's only area. Now here's the setup. The community site has forums with users in it and special user groups (I'm using punbb) that give certain members special access to parts of the forum. Ok, so for the member's part of the website, I want to have resources like downloads, etc. but I don't want it open to everyone. How can I code a log-in for the member's area to check the punbb MySQL server to check if they have the right user name/password and that they belong to the right user group to be re-directed to the member's area after logging in? And then to return a message if PHP didn't find matching information from the specified server.

How To Use GnUPG With Form Data
I am looking to encrypt form data that is submitted over an SSL and send that via email to my client. I understand some of the basic encryption processes, but could someone help me understand : 1. How to encrypt the data with GnUPG before it is emailed. 2. What does my client need to be able to decrypt the data? 3. My web host currently offers GnUPG so I can generate the keys - what do I do next? I have done some searching here already but I could use some getting started help.
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?
Inserting Data Using A Form
I created a script to allow the user to select the number of images to enter. After that the script generates the entry fields dynamically. The final step is entering all images into one column in the db called images. The problem is i got it to work using an advice from someone at devshed forums to use some additonal script. Please see below. 1) HTML File that allows you to enter the number of text boxes to create for each image you want. <FORM METHOD="POST" ACTION="do_show.php"> <P><strong>Number of images:</strong><br> <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="num_imgs" SIZE=5></p> <P><INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Go to Step 2"></p> </FORM> 2) PHP file that shows the created text boxes for you to enter the names of these images:
Problem With Form Data.
I have a form that I need to be able to input html, such as < a href="blah">blah</ a> and store it in a database, but php automatically puts 's in front of quotations and apostrophys, is there anyway to prevent this from happening so when it is stored in the database it will be just as they typed it in the text field and not insert back slashes?
How To Save Form Data?
There is a button on one of my www pages which changes page content. It adds some fields to the form, which is created by php script. After changing the page is displayed once again.

Emailing Form Data
I have a form that writes to an MySQL database just fine but would like to email people to give them a heads up that an entry was made under their name (1 of 6 names on writing to the database). This server exists on an intranet and would have no 'web' function other than using possibly the existing email server. Is all that I need to do to make this happen, to change php.ini as follows: [mail function] ; For Win32 only. SMTP = mail.servername.com smtp_port = 25 ; For Win32 only. ;sendmail_from = whoever@servername.com My input form is as follows: <form action="process2.php" method="post"> From: <input type="text" name="from" size="20" maxlength="20" /><br /> To: <input type="text" name="to" size="30" maxlength="30" /><br /> Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" size="30" maxlength="30" /><br /> Message:<textarea name="text" name="message" cols="50" rows="10"></textarea><br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" /> </form> and passes data to process2.php as shown in form 1: <?php @extract($_POST); $from = stripslashes($from); $to = stripslashes($to); $subject = stripslashes($subject); $message = stripslashes($message); mail('$to',$from,$subject,$message); header("location:process.php"); ?> This worked through my testbed on my SMTP 'once' and only sort of, once so I might be missing something. :-)
Parsing Form Data
Im using Reichard Heyes Form Processor with php3 for customers to attach multiple image files to email to me. This form uses a template to print the emailbut I cant get the email to print the original file name for example: file1.......johns image.jpg File2.....Marys image.jpg Sounds easy and most likely is but Im stuffed if I can get it to print So far all I can get is the Temp file name.
Form Data Not Posting
I was reading the forums and have not found the answer and could use some help. I am a novice and am learning how to do this out of neccesity for my non-profit org. I have a database with incidents that we react to during emergencies. I want to be able to have the users call up the record via ID (that works), change the status and/or details and save update mysql. It is just not saving the data. 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 .
Retrieving Form Data.
I have two scripts - common.php and edit.php. The working is that common.php contains a form that is used initially for registration and later used again so that registered users can edit their information. edit.php contains the connection to the db to update the form with the current users information. PHP Code:
Redirect Form Data
I've had help creating a redirect script, and that has worked successfully for inserting information into MySQL and the redirecting the user to the desired page when they clicked on a common link. A problem that I encountered is my script does not pass variables from a form, and I'd like to find a way to include those variables and redirect with the POSTed variables. PHP Code:
Form Data Will Not Post
can anyone be so kind as to look at http://www.mysolution.ws/HYPOCRITE.php and let me know why it isn't passing the form data to http://www.mysolution.ws/insertHYPOCRITES.php for the most part, the scripts were created with http://phpcodegenie.sourceforge.net/

Form Data Validator
Can any one recommend a class for form data validation? Seems something all of us need to do. I am constructing a large on line app and my validation needs are going to be quite wide in range.
Array Of Form Data
After submitting form data to a page called procform.php, I want to be able to see a list or array of all the inputs that were submitted from the form. I scoured the PHP books I own and did some google searches, but found nothing in this regard. I know I can use $myformvar in procform.php if I know the form had an input like this: <input type=hidden name=myformvar value=190> But, surely, there must be a way to get a list of all the variables assigned from the form in PHP, right?
Form Data Loss
I have recently started experiencing form data loss. Here is an example: ====test_form1.php==== <form method="POST" action="test_form2.php"> <input name="textboxvalue" type="text" size="20"> <br> <input type="submit" value="Submit"> </form> ====================== ====test_form2.php==== <? echo "textboxvalue: ".$textboxvalue; ?> ====================== (note: these are incomplete examples, I have left out the <html> tags for example) After putting in data into the textboxvalue textbox and pressing the submit button, on the second page only "textboxvalue: " is displayed. The weird thing is that when I restart my computer, this works fine, but then stops working again. These pages are encrypted with 128 SSL encryption (mod_SSL 2.8.15). This problem has plagued an online app that I am developing and is a company-wide problem that happens on computers in other offices too. Here's my info: SERVER Apache 1.3.28 PHP 4.3.6 MySQL 3.23.39 mod_SSL 2.8.15 phpMyAdmin 2.50 CLIENT Windows XP Pro Internet Explorer 6.0.28
Formatting Form Data
I have a problem understanding how I can submit form data to a mysql database and preserve the formatting that the user wants. Essentially the problem is line breaks. When a user inserts data into a text area the text automatically jumps to the next line when the one line fills up with text. Yet when the data is submitted to mysql it doesn't preserve the breaks. I've tried several solutions like the <pre> tag. Basically I want the break that the html textarea creates automatically when it reaches the end of the text area to generate a <br /> tag in my data submission.
Prefilling A Form With PHP Data
I'm trying to fill out a form with data pulled from a database. Look at the first entry for my form, the First Name. I have a PHP in the value section but it is not pulling down the data and inserting it. Not sure why. Code:

I have a PHP script that gets data from a form and sends it to an email address.
