-> How To Read A Form Variable Before Posting? <-
is there a way to read the content of a form variable before a POST? I have a form with a "duplicate" button which opens a new form with most of the fields filled with the values of the calling one. To do so, I pass the id of the form to be duplicated. Example: - I have a form with "Number = 1234567" in a "numform" edit field. - Duplicate has a href=/duplicateform.php?id=1234567 - then the "duplicateform.php" reads id with a GET['id'] This is easy as I come from a displayed form that retrieves its values via a SQL statement and with a specific "number" reference. Now, once I am in this new form, I have a save button to save all values, including the new "Number" the user would type in, say "22222222". The save process works correctly via AJAX and saves the record using a POST action. But then, I still have my "duplicate" button which should now point to href=/duplicateform.php?id=22222222 How can I get this 22222222 value from within the form itself? I have to get it from the "numform" field, but how can I do this? it would be something like href=/duplicateform.php?id=<?=[value_of_field_number]?> with value_of_field_number being the actual value of that edit field.
Posting Form Variable Using Header()
I know I have seen it somewhere but cannot find how to do it right now. How do I use header to submit post vars "without" a form. The company I work for is using a 3rd party email marketing company (until I can get the time to build a system to bring it in house), and this company is working with me to keep the form, thank you and error page aspect on our site. I need to take the variable from the form and process them to do some validation and then send these post vars off to their page so it can be inserted into a database. They don't do any validation on their side with this setup so I want to do it on my side and use header() to submit the post vars.
CURL Form Posting To Self Referencing Form Action
I've successfully used CURL to maneuver around and through sites but a new site I've been trying to work with has got me stumped. To retrieve the data I'm trying to get a login is required. If you go to any page in the "member" area without logging in you get directed to a https connection and hit login.php (ie: you end up at https://www.domain.com/login.php). The problem, I believe, lies in the fact that the form on that page references itself in the form action tag. The action tag in the form is "/login.php" and nothing I've tried has been successful in getting CURL to actually submit the data and get me logged in. Not surprising really since you'd normally point CURL to the action target to pass form data. The things I've tried so far without luck are: * Hit the main site page to pick up the session cookie then go to one of the "member" only pages * Gone directly to one of the "member" pages to get redirected to login.php Both attempts end up simply returning me the contents of the login.php page which, obviously, doesn't help or do any good. What isn't clear from the CURL documentation with PHP is whether or not the CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS get passed to pages after a redirect takes place. I suspect they are but the fact that login.php refers back to itself seems to be the real problem. If anyone has any ideas on how to convince CURL to get me past login.php or any other suggestions on things I could try I would very much appreciate it.

Posting A Form To Another Script ?
Is there a way to "post" a form to another php script? For example input.php retrieves some user variables then posts the results to another script , say form.php? I know this can be done using perl's LWP by creating an agent. Let me know if this makes sense or not? I know I can use GET, but I want to avoid GET for some other reasons.
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.
Posting Form Data To Two Php Scripts At Once
How do i post the form data to different php files at once. I tried the following code but it doesn't work. the data is sent only to the first php file. <form method="post" action="insert.php" action="mail.php"> Email<input type="text" name="email" value ="" size="20" /> <input type="submit" value="submit" /> </form> Is there a solution?
Libcurl Form Posting Problem
I've been trying to write a short script using curl w/ php but can't figure something out: I'm simply trying to login to a website using a posted user/pass combo to an html form (login.php) that, if correct, sends a Header("Location: success.php"). The problem I'm running into is when I successfully login, i'm watching the logs and it's actually executing success.php but after that's done the screen just refreshes and stays on login.php... does this have anything to do with the session variables that are written to tell the system that I should be logged in? Does this make sense? Below are my opts. $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION,1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER,0); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_fields); $curl_output=curl_exec ($ch); curl_close ($ch); echo $curl_output;
Form Suffers From Premature Posting
I have created an HTML form that has the form action set to: <form action="forms_orderconfirmation.php" method="get" name="FormName"> My intention was to create a confirmation page with a submit button that the client would select after confirming that their information was correct. My problem is that the information gets posted to my email merely by linking to the confirmation page. It does not wait for the clients final approval. In fact the submit button does not submit anything... but going to the page does. code:
Posting PDF Form Data To MySQL
I am working on a script that will take information submitted from a pdf form and store the field data to a given mySQL table. I just cant figure out what is wrong with my script. I am able to get the data from the pdf form, and set it as a variable so I can work with it in php. It is displaying the proper data when I echo() it, and I get no mySQL errors. It looks like everything should work, but when I check my database, nothing has been updated....

Given something like: if ( $_POST['type_save'] == 'Save record to HTGI public DB') { echo '<form method="post" action="populate08.php">' echo '<input type=hidden name="kw_tarea" value='.$tk.'>' echo '</form>' echo '<p>permanent DB updated' } But there's no button to press for a submit. So how do I get this code posted to the action=populate08 ? Without pressing a buttom but just from the code?

Form, Posting Multiple Fields
I have a product list page, users can check the product then go to an e-mail form, that lists the products they checked. On this, they can then chose a quantity for every product, how do I make it so when they send the e-mail, it gets the quantity for each product (using PHP mail, to send)? The field would be: <input type="text" size="4" maxlength="4" value="1" name="quantity"> But that wouldn't work for multiple ones? Would I use a "foreach" statement, somehow?

Unfortunately, it is only printing out the message acknowledging the submit button--no data on either form. Code:

Security Issues With Posting Form Contents To Server?
I'm currently reading a php book that attempts to declare the security hazzards of not screening a form's content before allowing it to be posted, whether to a database, text file, or otherwise. Honestly, I still don't get what the problem is. Lets say magic quotes is turned on. Could someone list the major things I should still be doing to prevent security problems? For example, the book says to use htmlspecialchars(), though how does allowing the user to enter HTML tags compromise anything? The data simply gets posted as is to a database, then output as is Maybe an annoying JavaScript is output, but hardly a security breach to the server itself as far as I can tell.
Blank Response By Curl When Posting Form Data

Posting Data To Another Form And Getting Handle Of The Opened Window.
I have posted a form to a PHP file in a new window with target attribute. My problem is that my application should not allow user to post the form again. User should close the window and then only (s)he can post the form again. Can we get the handle of the opened window? If we use window.open then we will get the handle of that window but I am unable to post data with window.open. Any idea on posting data to modal windows. Not as parameters but as $_POST.
Curl: Posting Form Variables Results In Redirection
I'm using the curl functions in php to scrape the wan ip address from my home router (the router is an SMC product). This is a two step process: 1. post the password value to the login.htm page 2. capture and parse the content from the status_main.htm page On the SMC's login.htm page there is a form with the following elements: <form name=tF method=post action=login.htm> <input type=password name=pws> <input type=hidden name=page value=login> <submit value='LOGIN'> Here are three test cases - only the first two work as expected. I need to understand why I got that third response... posting the variables causes a the SMC to give me a redirection to index.htm which does not exist? COMMAND LINE TEST (returns login.htm and status_main.htm accurately): curl -d page=login.htm -d pws=mypassword http://10.10.10.1/login.htm curl http://10.10.10.1/status_main.htm | grep 'wan_ip' PHP NO-POST TEST(returns login.htm accurately): $ch = curl_init("http://10.10.10.1/login.htm"); $strIP = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); PHP POST TEST (returns an unexpected result): $ch = curl_init("http://10.10.10.1/login.htm"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "page=login&pws=mypassword"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); $strIP = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print "<!-- $strIP -->"; <!-- <html><head><meta http-equiv=refresh content=Ɔ url=/index.htm'></head></html> -->

Variable Extracted Out Of One Form Not There Anymore After Submitting Another Form
in short what I'm trying to do: pass a variable from a form that's posted to a certain page, to the same page. The variable is extracted with $_REQUEST. Next, another form in the same page is submitted, again to the same page. Following that, I have code depending on the submission of the latter form. In that code, I try to do something with the variable that has been submitted with the first form, but it's not there anymore. I tried passing it to another variable beforehand, making it a session variable, making the $_REQUEST conditional, etc etc. But nomatter what I do, it remains empty. What's the correct way to go about this?
Form/Variable
I create a pretty large form whith php and name the input boxe's "v_1_1" , "v_1_2" etc. I know how many i create but how do i get the information that the user put into the box? Is there any function like this: get_form("v_" . $counter1 . "_" . $counter2); or something? Can i get the info from a form without knowing the form name?
Variable In Form
I have a form where the value of a hidden input area is a variable. This works fine when the value of the variable is a single word. However if it is two words - only the first word actually goes into the form.
Variable Not Recieving Value From Form?
I'm writing a script where the user enters their user and password, and then the script moves on to another section (verification). Unfortunately, my script doesn't recognise the variable I'm using to move on to the next section. The example that follows is the start of my script, and it all works effectively, displaying the HTML as would be expected.
Passing Variable Not Using Form?
I am thinking of passing variable to another page not using form format. there are many links displayed in, say page1.php when ppl clicking the link, the ID of the link will be send to another page, page2.php, so that page2.php can display the content according to the ID received.
Setting Variable In Form For Further Use
1.i would like like to submit variables through a form to say script1. 2.then i would like it to hold those variables 3.use those variables at the set values in other scripts (actually php web pages) (basically i would like to set variables throug a form for certain aspects of my web site, eg headline1 -5, video review 1-5 etc , im trying to have the same layouyt for each page that has some submenus for different stuff, id liek to be ableto change thos on all my pages at the same time, my theory is to set headline1-5 through like a control panel, then post what i submitted to variables in a script then be able to echo the variable on each page in the right area) #1 i got figured out obviously, not that hard. #2 i cant get it to hold the variavles as i had them set #3 ive beenusing the require tag but the page i put the page with the require tag wants to always jsut print the whole thing, what would i use to to pull a set variable of another script and echo it on the new script, assuming i get #2 figured out.
Form Variable Security
I'm creating a contact form so it e-mails the administrator when they fill in the form. My problem is you are very liable to spam attacks with contact forms. If a spammer were to quess the paramaters needed to send an e-mail from your contact form he could create a loop and e-mail 1000's of people. I want to be safe from this but cannot think of a way of not checking a variable. If I check a variable for a value they could still quess this and would be though again.
Php Variable In The Form Action
i have this in my intro.php form. Code: <form action="intro2.php" method="post" target="main"> is there a way i can assign a variable to take the name of the script, and put a two on it....then i can put that variable in place of the intro2.php? I have a lot of these files, and when it comes time to replace all those intro2.php's, its gonna be a pain in the neck.
Passing Variable Without Using FORM

Passing A Variable From A Form To Php
I don't seem to be able to send trough the variable 'language' from my form to the php-variable $language that I want to use in my session... I first tried in the form with a drop down menu (select) and now with radio-buttons but it won't work... What am I doing wrong? BTW: the variable 'toevoegen' is passed correctly from the form to the php. <?php session_start(); session_register('language'); echo("Taal is $language <p/>"); echo("Toevoegen=$toevoegen <p/>"); if (!IsSet($language)){ $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM languages ORDER BY mylanguage"); if (!$result) { echo("<P><b>Fout bij uitvoeren query: </b>" . mysql_error() . "</P>"); exit(); } echo("<FORM ACTION='$PHP_SELF' METHOD='POST'><INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='toevoegen' VALUE=Ƈ'>"); while (($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))){ echo("<INPUT TYPE='radio' NAME='language'>".$row["mylanguage"]); } echo("<INPUT TYPE='submit' NAME='kies_taal' VALUE='Choose language...'>"); echo("</FORM>"); } else{ echo("Uw taal is $language !"); } ?>
Variable In Form Field
I want to put a variable as the content of a hidden field. I realise that normally you would just open up a set of php tags and echo the variable in which I have done in the past, although I need the whole form in php tags as I have made the form a function in order to hide it with sessions when no body is logged in. This seems to be causing a problem as I can't get the content of the variable into the field its just echoing the actual statement in. Code:

Determining Whether Or Not A Form Variable Is Hidden
Is there any way to dynamically determine whether or not a variable comes from a hidden field within a separate form file?

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">
Alter Array Variable In A Form
I have recently found the need to create a page in php that displays, in this case, and list of items that someone is ordering, along with quantities. The initial entry page is simple and straightforward enough, except when it comes to passing all the data to post processing (i.e. the php program). The form would consist of multiple lines.. each with a sku, a description, a quantity and a price for example. Obviously the ideal situation is to somehow pass an array such as $order[$i]['column'] where $i represents each line on the form, and 'column' is the actual field. But I havent found a way to do this. I have been able to code around it, by having the user choose an item one at a time. But, then, I am faced with the same issue later when I present the customer his order, and want to allow him to change the quantity before checkout, or delete a line. If you have tackled this problem and have been successful, please respond with your ideas, or just a simple reference to a good source that I could see an example would be fine.

Why Php Doesn't Transfer Variable Submitted By Web Form?
I had previously installed php-4.3.9 and apache-2.0.49 on my solaris9 server and written a php script for user login, it ran well until today... today for some reasons I upgraded php to php-5.1.2, complied as apache's DSO module, and I found the script couldn't work when being accessed by IE. I didn't know why...It seemed php script hadn't transfered variables submmitted by web form to itself...now the following is my script: <?php if ($queryflag == 1) { $ybn="admin"; $ybp="111"; $ybusername=$_POST["username"]; $ybuserpwd=$_POST["password"]; if ($ybusername==$ybn AND $ybuserpwd==$ybp){ session_start(); $_SESSION["admin"]=true; header("location: testtest.php"); } else { echo <<<EOM <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"> <title>login</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- ..style5 {font-size: 24px} ..style6 { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FF0000; } ..style7 { font-size: 14px; color: #FF0000; } --> </style> </head>
Submit Form With Variable For Action?
So, i've got a form that is very simple. It hold three elements: username, password, and domain. The goal here is to have the form submit the login to an administrative section depending on which domain someone has chosen. For instance, let's say we have three administrative sites, that all have different URLs, but we want this one form to handle logging into any of them. So, the form itself needs to have a dynamic action element. Here's an example: Code: <form action="http://www.mysite.com/admin/index.php" method="post" name="login" id="login" > <input name="usrname" type="text"> <input name="pass" type="password"> <input name="domain" type="text"> <input name="submit" type="submit" value="Login"> </form>
$_POST Form Variable And Use In Same Php Page
Apache/2.0.48 (Win32) PHP/4.3.6 I would like to take a value from a checkbox(checked or unchecked) and then use that value in a php script All on the same page. So I should post the form to the same page right? And then pick that variable up via $_POST or $_REQUEST methods right? I have tried various approaches to the action= clause of the form but to no avail. I know how i did it in asp but it doesn't seem to work.
