PHP Forms
I have a forum with 1 text field and 1 drop down box on. Now the user can either click submit or preview. when doing preview it displays on the screen the 2 entries so that they can check before submitting it. Now, i know how to make sure the text field has the info in that they have just typed by using value="<?=$fieldname?>"> but how do you do the same on a drop down box. eg the box has the numbers 1, 2 and 3 as options to select. 1 is selected by default but the user has now selected 2 and clicked preview but I cant get the default to now be 2 as selected instead of 1.

PDF Forms And FDF
I have some PDF forms of varoius documents (invoices, ...) and I would like to populate them with data from MySQL with PHP (on win2k3) I tried fdf_* functions, the field filling works fine, but my mission is not yet complete: - Acrobat Reader can't save the complete document (form + PDF). Can I merge "FDF" and "PDF" at the server side using PHP ? How ? - It seems that Acrobat reader on Linux could not fill in forms. Many other non-acrobat reader can't. Anyone has tryed with Acrobat Reader for linux ? This problem will be solved if I could merge "FDF" and "PDF" at the server side. - In all my modules I need to replicate one or more pages. For example in a tipical invoice form I have only 10 lines available, so I must replicate the invoice form as many times as needed in the resulting PDF. How can I achieve it ? I found fdf_add_template() but it's totally undocumented ! Is it the right function for me ? Ho does it works ?

2 Forms
I was handed a voting form that the company has used in previous years, for updating. The first page is a form, asking for name, business name, title and email address(twice for verification). The form gets posted to a verfication PHP script that checks that the email addresses match and that the email address isn't already in the database. If there is a problem, it sends you back to the first form; if everything is okay it sends you on to the second form. The second form is the actual voting form. At the top of the screen, the customer's information is displayed for them, using PHP variables. So that name, business name, and title are at the top. Customer fills out the form and clicks submit. The form forwards to a PHP script for inserting the data into MySQL. This is where the problem comes in. Everything but the name, title and email address gets written to the database. I have checked my SQL query and it is find. My working theory right now is that the second form erases all variables from the first form, as for as the system is concerned. Here is a line of code from the second form: <form method="POST" action="check.php?email=<?php echo $email ?>"> It looks like the origional program was passing email in the URL which would explain why email works but the name, business name and title don't. I think the origional coder knew the issue. I am looking for confirmation of my belief that only one set of variables can exist at a time, from a form for any given method. If that is true, how do I pass multiple variables in the URL above? I tried seperating them with commas or ?.

More Than 2 Forms
What im looking to do is create a varied mail form on one page using php. What i mean by this is that i want to put a radio button list or drop down menu which has a number of different options (for example: 'general' (default), 'complaint' and 'add link' The General form (which is displayed by default) has 3 input boxes (name, email, comment). When the drop down menu or radio button is changed to (for example) 'add link' the form changes to display 4 input boxes with different names/inputs (name, email, url, comments). I'm really no good at php so could someone suggest help me sort this out? its simply so i dont have to have seperate pages for each individual form and dont have to put 2 or 3 different forms on the one page (hence making the page length rather long).

Two Forms
I have two forms on one page. In Form A I have drop-down list (single selection). When I click a submit button in form B, I would like to pick up the value showing in the drop down list of Form A. Can this be done? The reason for separating the two forms is that Form A opens a new browser window with selection in that form, whereas Form B keeps it in the same browser window for its selections. The drop-down list value, however, is used in both and I would not want to repeat that list in Form B.

Include Along With Forms
I have a problem using a form in a page that uses includes. All alone the form works great. When placed in an include file or in another page that has other includes in it things go to the dogs. It will show itself on the page ok but will not save to the table. Also what is strange is I can enter data in the fields only by starting at the top field and using the tab key. It will not jump to a field with a mouse click. Am I breaking some rule or is in my code somewhere?

Validating Forms
I've read that you can use ereg, preg, eregi as a regular statement for identifying email addresses and all ZEND explanations aside, I still do not get it, not too mention that every bit of code looks different from website to website, and the ones that I've actually tried, had a variety of errors. Do I have to validate using the ACTION tag in the form? I'm asking because I already have a script that takes the information and emails it to recipients, is it best to put something like validate.php as the action, then after the validation is approved, if/else send it to the mail() script? If it's best to send it to a validation script, then to my mail() script Is it possible to send sessions through both steps, because I need to use sessions on my mail script.

HTML (forms) <->
I have made a PHP program which is able to encode and decode text. To show this to people I made a form in HTML which enables a user to paste text in a textarea, and then choose to either encode or decode this text. When I open a file directly from the PHP code and encode/decode it the ouput is fine, yet when I use the textarea as input and let the HTML form use the PHP function the output is somehow different. I first thought perhaps the textarea would add linebreaks and tested this with a simple PHP program[1] which confirmed this was not the case when I use the wrap="virtual" function from textarea. Somewhere there must be some sort of miscommunication between PHP or HTML, or perhaps I did not handle the input flexible enough... This is test.html which contains the form and which calls test.php to handle the text pasted in the textarea; PHP Code:

Slashes In Forms
Ok. I have checked the magic quotes is on. I have a form on my web page. The input from this is sent (by POST) to the server. A PHP script processes it. If there any errors the input is urlencoded and returned to the webpage with the form in the URL. I am not using add or strip slashes in my script (except for the testing I did that is explained below). If the user inserts slashes or double quotes - when these are returned to the form they are slashed. If one backslash is inserted, 4 backslashes appear when the form is redisplayed. If I enter a double quote this is returned as 3 backslashes (the double quote disappears). If I stripslashes() before returning the input to the form, one backslash becomes 2 backslashes and a double quote is returned as 1 backslash (but again the double quote disappears).

Forms And URL Variables
I wanted to create a cool form processor for my site and I didn't want to use any JavaScript nor did I want to tell the user to use the back button! What I did is have my script validate required fields, and if one of them is proven empty or something the script redirects the user using this code: PRINT "<meta http-equiv='Refresh' content=Ɔ URL=$url'>"; Now the $URL contains the variables like form.php?name=myname&email=myemail etc... using name=$name etc.. But I used this code to replace spaces with a "+" or the URL will be cut short and loose data: $name = str_replace (" ", "+", "$name"); And now for the fields in my form I have these little codes: <? if (isset ($name)) print "$name";?> I also went a step further and highlighted the tables that the empty field was in by changing the table background color! with this code: IF (isset ($name) && ($name == "")) { $name_color = "#CC0000";} else { $name_color = "#FFFFFF";} And of course the <? echo $name_color; ?> in the html... This works very well, I tested it in NS and IE my only concern is, is this a smart way of doing this? I mean using the URL to fill out the form so the user won't have to retype everything? Maybe their is a way or a better command than REFRESH? Does anyone know of the limit of characters that can be in the URL? I've tried up to 568 so far (Just testing for the heck of it). Any input on this method of form validation would be appreaciated

PHP Doesn't Allow Me To Manage Forms
I have installed PHP a number of times following tutorials from online and from a book. I have been able to process simple functions such at date() but when it comes to simply sending information from a HTML form to a PHP page to display it doesn't work. I know it isn't my programming as i have copied it word for word from a book, and even used one of their examples from the site. The code I have used in the PHP page is: <?php /* This page receives and handles the data generated by "form.htm".*/ print "Your first name is $FirstName.<BR>"; print "Your last name is $LastName.<BR>"; print "Your E-mail address is $email.<BR>"; print "This is what you had to say:<BR> $Comments<BR>"; ?> and all of those variables relate to a text field in the form on the HTML page (form.htm).
