PHP :: Forward POST-variables

With Variables And POST
On my online order form, I need to send a few variables to my
credit-card processor. These variables are for non-secure customer
comments, and will be sent through the usual metod, i.e.,
<form action="https://orderpage.ic3.com/hop/orderform.jsp"
method="post">

However, one variable is a text-area box for a detailed customer
comment, and this variable can get pretty long. But my credit-card
processor has a 256 byte maximum length limit for all POSTed
variables. However, I can add as many of these 256-byte variables as I
like.

So how can I accomplish this in the most simple, efficient, and
elegant manner? How can I break up the text-area vaiable into 256-byte
pieces and then send these variables via POST along with all of the
other form variables which will be POSTed through the usual HTML
means?

POST/GET Into Variables
how does this look? should this by me calling ... myforms = new
forms(); work by turning all key/value pairs for both get and post
into variable names of the same name as the get/post key, and the
variable values as the values from the post/get?

class forms {
// Some stuff
var $MyPosts;
var $MyGets;...

Post Cookie Variables
I have a page that include on the top the result of a cookie (i come form a previous page with some inputs) in the second part of the page a form with name surname email etc etc
On submit all the information (cookie + form) are sent by email...
my problem is this: in the email doesn't appear the cookie values
i try to create in the form tab a hidden fiel d with this value

<input name="NewEoc" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $COOKIE['NewEoc'] ?>">

Variables Past By Get And Post
I'd like a generic include that goes at the top of all pages that mysql escapes the variables past to the script. Is there a way to refer to the each of the variables past, for example (in pseudo code):

for(each $XX in (list of get/post variables)) {
$$XX = mysql_escape_string($$XX);
}

Empty Variables And 4.21 (POST/GET)
With global variables set to on, I always had the following in my script to make sure variables had a default value:

if (empty($var)) {
$var = 1;}

Now with 4.21, I changed it to:

if (empty($_GET['var'])) {
$var = 1;}

The problem is sometimes I use GET and sometimes I use POST. With global variables on it didn't matter. Now it does. Is there a way to do this? When I try if (empty($_GET['var']) || empty($_POST['var'])), it doesn't work because one or the other will always be empty at any one time.

Processing GET And POST Variables
Below is a function adapted from one found in phpMyEdit.class.php
http://platon.sk/projects/release_l...hp?project_id=5
phpMyEdit is a form generator for PHP/MySQL.

I think this function works great, especially for forms where data is
redisplayed due to failed validation of user input. I wonder what the
opinion of other PHP users would be.

function get_cgi_var($name, $default_value = null)
{
// From the phpMyEdit project
// Usage: $name = get_cgi_var('name');
static $magic_quotes_gpc = null;
if ($magic_quotes_gpc === null) {
$magic_quotes_gpc = get_magic_quotes_gpc();
}
global $HTTP_GET_VARS;
$var = @$HTTP_GET_VARS[$name];
if (! isset($var)) {
global $HTTP_POST_VARS;
$var = @$HTTP_POST_VARS[$name];
}
if (isset($var)) {
if ($magic_quotes_gpc) {
if (is_array($var)) {
foreach (array_keys($var) as $key) {
$var[$key] = stripslashes(trim(strip_tags($var[$key])));
}
return $var;
} else {
$var = stripslashes(trim(strip_tags($var)));
}
}
} else {
$var = @$default_value;
}
return $var;
// If data is displayed/posted using htmlspecialchars($var)
// return @$HTTP_POST_VARS ? html_entity_decode($var, ENT_QUOTES) :
$var;
};

$name = get_cgi_var('name');

POST Variables And Sockets...
I have a server that uses Cpanel, and my mail server is Cpanel's cppop. I am trying to create an email address. With an older version of Cpanel, you could use this command line through sockets.

GET /frontend/x2/mail/doaddpop.html?email=emailaddress&domain=mysite.ca&password=emailpassword&quota=10 HTTP/1.0
Authorization: Basic $pass

That worked just fine because email addresses were created through GET variables. Now, they have changed it to POST variables. Now, I need to create an email address, while faking the following post variables:

email
domain
password
quota

I know I need to use sockets, and pass the POST variables, but I have no idea how to.

Passing Variables With POST
I have a file named login.php that basically just checks if a username and password are in a MySQL database. If they aren't then it shows access denied. If they are then I want to pass the $name and $pass to project.php in a different directory. Code:

Looping Thru POST Variables
I need to know how to loop thru the variables my script receives from a form with action=post. I need to build a list of only those variables that comes from my checkboxes.

POST Variables Not Coming Through
For some reason, at random posts, the post variables don't get thru to
the server. For example, if there is are two text fields: name and
email... (I have register_globals on)... When I try to update the
database with a query and use $name, $email, the $name is missing or
the $email is missing. I am building an intranet application and all
the 20 or so clients run IE. This happens very rarely. Something like
once in 100 updates.

But I can see this in the log files as update contact set name="",
email="asda@pol.com" where contact_id=918. Notice the name field is
blank. I have JS checks in the client side which does not allow blank
name field..

Is this an IE random error? How do I get over this?

POST Variables From Programs
we are trying to make a program in C++ that will comminicate with a PHP script. But we dont know how to get the variables from the program. We got it figured out with perl/CGI, but PHP seems to be a better way to connect to SQL server. On PHP the GET works, its easy, but it's not secure enough. I need informtion on what headers does the PHP require to get the POSTed data from a program.

Sending Variables As POST?
I am currently trying to send information to another page using the POST method. Unfortuantley I can not find any information on how to do this. Currently I am trying

Header ("Location: newpage.html?var=test&var2=test2");

Obviously this re-directs with the variables, but they are send using GET. Not what it need. Any ideas on how to post these variables to the new page?

Apache/PHP Post Variables
I'm working with someone on a PHP project. The other person is doing
testing of scripts on their personal machine using Apache as a web server.
The production server and the one I'm using are both using IIS.

This other person reports that in their PHP scripts when tested with Apache,
form variable sent via the POST method are not "coming through." (This is
even using the "long method" of specifying them as $HTTP_POST_VARS['x'].)
These same scripts work fine on the the IIS machine (the POST variable come
through).

I've looked online to see if I can find out if anything special must be
specified in the Apache configuration to enable the POST method, and
although I found other people posting similar problems, I saw no reference
to a solution.

Not Catching The Post Variables
For some reason my PHP script is not catching the post variables that should be being sent by this form. Code:

Post Variables From Header Redirect
I'm using header to redirect the browser to another page and in the url I've added ?var1=value1&var2=value2 to pass some argument as get to that script, can I pass in some way, arguments as post in this case ? may I do it in both methos at the same time ?

Passing Post Variables Using Fopen()
I'm trying to pull data from a website and read it into a file the I
can parse. I've done the before to site without post variables but I
can seem to get my statments to work with the post. Can someone help
me out?below is the code I have so far.

$url="www.somesitethatneedspostvariables.com";

$postdata = http_build_query(
array( 'postvarname1' ='value1',
'postvarname2' ='value2'
)
);
$opts = array('http' =>
array(
'method' ='POST',
'header' ='Content-type: application/x-www-form-
urlencoded',
'content' =$postdata
)
);

$context = stream_context_create($opts);
$file = @fopen($url, "r", $content) or die("Connection Error, Please
contact Webmaster ERROR CODE=0xDEADBEEF");

Get Unknown Number Of Variables From POST Or GET.
I am trying to create a page that redirects users to an advertiser's page. The reason for the redirect is statistics about who clicks where.

The situation is simple when I only need to redirect them to a page, but some of the ads on my site include forms which put data in either POST or GET and I need to know how to allow my redirect page to take that data from POST or GET, whatever that data is, and pass it on to the page that the data were intended for.

I think that once I get the data I can simply create a hidden form, on the redirect page, with the data from POST or GET already in it. However, I don't know how to get an arbitrary number of variables from POST or GET.

Search - Pass Variables Or Self Post
I've created a database of documents that is searchable by a variety of fields. Currently I have a PHP page called search.php with a form to get the keywords from the user and it then passes this back to itself, runs a query and displays the results. Doing it this way the address for the search page and the results of the search is the same.

This all works fine and I'm happy with it but I was wondering if it should be implemented differently where the keywords are used as a part of the address like with search engines with Google. I don't know what the advantages or disadvantages is for either method so I'm keen to hear what others think is the best method.

How Can I Pass Variables Via POST In A Script?
Let's assume we have a script that only accepts POST variable input.. How is it possible to pass variables to it (using a php-script)?

How To Loop Through POST Variables And Contents
I am looking for a standard way/function to loop through all POST variables
and their respective contents to update a database record.

Here's my ideal to pass a function and it update:
session variable - "ID" - that holds the record ID to update
$_POST or $HTTP_POST_VARS

The function would update the $_POST vaiables of the ID record with the
$_POST variable's contents.

Get/Post Variables Not Showing Under Windows
I'm quite rusty with PHP and have a little issue. A script transmit parameters to itself through a simple form. It works fine when I run it on aproduction server (Linux+Apache+PHP4). When I run the same script on my development machine (Win2K+Apache2+PHP5) the submited variables
don't show.

Here's some simplified code:

<HTML>
<BODY>

<?php
print_r ($_SERVER);
print_r ($submit);
switch ($submit) {
// ...
}
?>

<FORM METHOD=Get>Display content of:<BR>
<INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submit VALUE=APACD1>
<INPUT TYPE=submit NAME=submit VALUE=APACD2>
// ...
</FORM>

</BODY>
</HTML>

PHP Not Populating Form Variables Passed Through POST Or GET
I"m running:

Windows Xp SP2
Apache2
PHP5
MySQL4

Everything seems fine and dandy, and I can do scripting on server side, but for some reason I cannot get data from a form to be put into a variable.

I have a simple form in an html page which submits, and in the php script that handles the input, none of the data in the form is going into the variables.

My php.ini file does have all the GPC's in place(ie variable_order, the way they get processed).

How To Process Some Variables, Then Place Them Into POST And Redirect?
I'd like to do the following in PHP. Is there a way?

Someone submits a form with data. I want to process the data, then once I'm done with it, take two of the variables, make them post variables and basically redirect the browser as if the user pressed the submit button with data filled in.

The variables can't appear in the url.

How Do You Parse Post Variables To A Popup Window?
I know this isnt really a php question but can anyone tell me how
you parse post variables to a popup window, here's my code so far, im
trying to pass the value entered into a radio button:

<head>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
var win= null;
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll)
{
var winl = (screen.width-w)/2;
var wint = (screen.height-h)/2;
var settings ='height='+h+','
settings +='width='+w+','
settings +='top='+wint+','
settings +='left='+winl+','
settings +='scrollbars='+scroll+','
settings +='resizable=yes'
win=window.open(mypage,myname,settings);
if(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) >= 4){win.window.focus();}
}

</script>
</head>

<body>
<form name="answer" action="result.php" method="post">
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="Milk"> Milk<br>
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="Butter"> Butter<br>
<input type="radio" name="group1" value="Cheese"> Cheese<br>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" src="result.php"
onClick="NewWindow(this.src,'name',âÆ',âÆ','yes');retur n false" >
</form>
</body>

Post Variables After Java Sort Are Lost
I have an HTML table that is being constructed from a MySQL table and
displays a form that includes a check box on 1 of the fields on the form for
each record. I have included in this PHP program a javascript routine called
sorttable.js which is something I found on the internet for sorting tables
and works quite well. The HTML table includes a check box on each record so
the user can select certain records for passing to the next process. This
works fine unless I sort the table on some column and then the POST
variables are lost. When I run the following code there are no POST
variables that will echo except the submit button.

foreach ($_POST as $varName =$value){
echo ($varName . " = " . $value);
}

However, if I don't sort the table the POST variables will be echoed for
every record in the table. I'm not sure why this is happening or how to go
about solving it. When I check certain records on the form and then sort the
table the checks themself don't disappear only the POST variables do. This
prevents me from looping thru the ARRAY to determine the value of the POST
check box for each record to see if it was checked. If I run the above code
but don't sort it I will have several hundred POST variables (several for
each record).

Could someone give me an idea on how to solve this or offer some sort of
work-around?

Passing Variables In Frame Page By Post Method
Is it possible to send variables by post method through a submit button to a frames page, and have all 3 pages in the frame pick up the variable using the $_request[var] ?In other words, I click on a submit button. in form action method call index.php the index page has a top, main, and a left frame.how do i get each one of those to receive the variable, when i can only sendit to one page? or is it possible to send it to more than one page, but only action to one page?

Problems With Error Checking / Control Of POST Variables
I have a small form that on button press submits to a PHP file for further
processing into a database. I have to change the script as it allows
blank / nothing to be submitted to the database. The intention is that if
any of the two form fields are blank (empty) then the page is resent
stating that they have to fill in all the fields to post (to a database).

If I deliberately leave the fields blank and submit the form, querying the
database shows that both fields are zero / null - so nothing was entered in
to the database.

However, if I use an echo command to see what is going on (before the data
is entered into a database) I get the $TheName field with a "1" and the
$TheComment field with an unknown entry (it doesn't echo anything to the
screen - but it's not empty).

The code I've used to test this is:

$TheName = $_POST[gbName];
$TheComment = $_POST[gbComment];

if (($TheName = NULL) or ($TheComment = NULL))
{
echo 'Quick error check running:<BR>'
echo "Name: $TheName<BR>";
echo "Comment: $TheComment";
exit;
}

This does NOT execute as these fields are not empty. It only runs if I
change to:

if (($TheName = !NULL) or ($TheComment = !NULL))

Which is pointless as it will always execute with genuine entries.

Using the amended code below:

if (($TheName = !NULL) or ($TheComment = !NULL))
{
echo 'Quick error check running:<BR>'
}

echo "Name: $TheName<BR>";
echo "Comment: $TheComment";

I get the result that both the echoed lines are displayed as blank (no
"1").

PHP:Unable To Post Variables From Html Form To Mysql Database
Plz dont treat this as another newbie query , i did my homework but
still getting nowhere :( :( :(

Trying to learn PHP on Fedora core 1 (PHP 4.3,MySQL,HTTPD).Unable to
post data from html form to php file(connecting to mysql database and
inserting into a table) .
This seemingly simple problem is making me go mad !!! I googled
extensively and already tried the following

I enabled " register_globals = On " .... in /etc/php.ini and
also took used _$POST syntax.

wot could be the problem .... is it the case that /etc/php.ini file is
not being read .... how do i know whether this is the default location
for php.ini?
Where can i find the PHPRC environment variable (the variable
responsible for the php.ini default location)

Is the problem something else .....?

Following is the code ...

form.html
---------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> email entry form </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>

<P>plz fil the form </P>

<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTON="form-handler.php">

Forward
Is it possible to forward to some page ?

like forward('aPage.php');

how do i do this? and whats the proper term for this feature?

Getting Rid Of Forward Slashes...
I have the following string:

What would be the most effective way of removing the forward slashes to come up with a "12122007" result?

How To Forward A Page Using PHP

Flash To PHP Forward To New Url
I'm trying to make a link from flash work. It may sound weird because yeah GetURL..., but I have to follow the rule allowNetworking="internal" on the emmbed tag. Inturn I can only use sendAndLoad from flash. So what I want to do is have a link in flash call a php file using sendAndLoad. I have that all working now here's the hard part. I need the php file to then take the url var I sent and go to that url.

I have tried header(location...), meta refresh, javascripts and auto submit form none of these work from the flash peice, but all work when I go straight to the php file. The problem occurs because all header info and html info have already been loaded. Does anyone know of a different way to make the php file go to a new URL?

Back And Forward With Sessions?
I am working on a website which is using sessions. What I want to do, is after the user is logged in, or logged out, when pushing the back or forward button not to change its current status(logged or not), if the destination page in history change this.

Possible To Forward If-expression In Variable?
I would like to forward an expression to an if-statement via a variable.
Like:
$a=10;
$b=20;

$expr="$a > $b";#this should be my if-expression

if ($expr) do something;#test should be if($a > $b)

Of course this does not work, as $expr is simply determined as being true.
Is there any chance to get this working?

Forward A URL And Change A Component
I've just had to move a MediaWiki installation from one area of my site to a subdomain on another area. I need a way to forward URLs, so that whenever anyone requests a URL for the wiki at the old location, they are automatically forwarded to the URL on the new location. The system would need to add a subdomain, but also change the article pointer. For example: Code:

Determine A Forward Email Addy
i have an application that sends out mail from flash. in each mail there is a link for the viewer to click on. when the viewer clicks the link blah.php?email=email@address.com it updates the database adding their email to the list of people who have clicked that link.

i want to be able to track emails that have been forwarded. the problem is if someone forwards, it will forward with their email attached to the link instead of the recipients.

is there any way i can grab the recipients email and put it in the link?

How To Make Pages That Auto-forward?
I made a form that someone can fill out ... then when he's done(provided everything was filled in properly) I want him to automatically to be taken back to the main page. (preferably after a 5 second delay or so) I was just curious if this is possible in php. I've seen it done in javascript, but I dont know javascript very well.

Forward Email, Change Sender Address
Is there anyway I can set up a personal 'remailer' type of thing
on my domain ?

I can not email a friend at his workplace because his company
have put a 'block' on emails from my work address (the companies
we work for are considered rivals) - I am after a way to
'bounce' or forward an email, so my originating address isn't
shown.

I have tried email forwarding (in CPanel) using addresses set up
in my domain but when they forward, the original sender is
shown, therefore the block applies.

I have also tried using Bigfoot but again, the original sender
is shown.

Is there any way, using PHP or otherwise, that I could somehow
receive a message sent to an address in my domain, and forward
it on with a different "from" address ? (There would only be 1
specified address that I would want to forward on, to prevent
abuse!)

i.e.

from xxxx@company1.com => xxxx@mydomain.com, this then forwards
the original mail but from xxxx@mydomain.com =>
xxxx@company2.com

Unfortunately webmail isn't an option as we don't have web
access at work, and it has to be sent through the work Email
system, Outlook.

Fieldforwarder PHP Script Doesn't Forward Fields The Second Timearound
I'm new to this newsgroup and have tried to search through the archives
first, before posting this question. I don't think it has been addressed
before. Also, this question is about a script I found on zend.com, and I
have also emailed the author of the script, unfortunately without any
replies sofar.

Here goes:

I am working on a website for pizza delivery. Through this website people
need to be able to order a pizza or pasta online.

The ordering proces will be a form with multiple pages. The visitor will be
guided through the menu in 5 steps. Step 1 being the pizzas, step 2 the
pastas, and so on.
On each page there is always the possibility to add an "side-order" to their
order. So, on the right is always the same list of side-orders.

I am using a script called fieldforwarder.php (see this page for the script:
http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/...e7.php#Heading9)

It works perfectly, however one challenge still remains and it has to do
with the side-order. I think it has something to do with the
fieldforwarder.php file.

The side-orders can be choosen during any step. So, if one chooses a side
order in step 1, it needs to remain chosen in the following steps. I have
this working, by using if statements. One pulldown menu in the side-order
menu looks like this:

<select name="italianchefsalad_junior" class="orderpulldown"
id="italianchefsalad_junior">
<option value="0"<?php if ($italianchefsalad_junior==0) echo "selected";
?>>0</option>
<option value="1"<?php if ($italianchefsalad_junior==1) echo "selected";
?>>1</option>
<option value="2"<?php if ($italianchefsalad_junior==2) echo "selected";
?>>2</option>
</select>

Although starting from step 2 the code looks this actually.
Well, it does work in a way that it shows me when i clicked something in the
side orders on the first page. However, when i try to choose something in
step 2 (or 3 or 4 or 5) it won't "remember" it.
I guess that the fieldforwarder.php file doesn't check for changes in
fields, it already has indexed? I'm not quite sure, because the code of the
file is a little bit too advanced for me.

Hopefully someone on here can help me out. I really hope so.

Pass Info Forward From A Redirect Page
I have a main page with 75% constant contents. I want to change the other 25% depending on what page calls the main page. Example:

www.mysie.com/a.html
www.mysite.com/b.html
www.mysite.com/c.html
www.mysite/x/y/z/mainpage.php

Pages a, b, and c are redirect pages to mainpage.php How can I how can I open storya.txt in the mainpage.php when someone clicks on ~.com/a or storyb.txt if they click on ~ .com/b ?

Setting Up A Forward Apache Https Proxy
I can't figure out how to setup a forward https proxy in apache. Here is what I have tried:

Code:
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName server.com
DocumentRoot /path
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia Off
AllowCONNECT 80 443
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.pem
#<Proxy *>
#AuthUserFile .htpasswd
#AuthType Basic
#AuthName "private"
#<LIMIT GET POST CONNECT>
#require valid-user
#</LIMIT>
#</Proxy>
</VirtualHost>

I've tried it with and without the commented section, and tried various other combinations of commenting and uncommenting various parts of this. The only way I have gotten it to work is to comment out SSLEngine on, which defeats the purpose of what I'm trying to do. I've also tried to use several different combinations of the SSLProxy* functions, but have had no luck with that either.

Could anyone point me in the right direction? The apache documentation hasn't been too helpful for me and I can't even tell if what I am trying to do is supported or possible.

Need To Make A PHP Script Forward To An Html Page When Processed!
When a php script is processed, how can I then get the script to automatically forward to a confirmation page? The script in question is a mail script, and I need to get this to forward to an html page to basically say, 'mail is sent'.

Preventing Back/forward Button Form Resubmission
I have a site that is form intensive and would like to prevent users on my site from resubmitting forms when they press back or forward, which they will likely do at some point no matter how I program it.

So, I am interested from hearing from people who 1) had the same need and 2) implemented something in PHP with which they were satisfied. How did you go about doing this?

Post And Redirect With Post Data
The solution we have though up is the following:

1. The user fills in data in a form and hits submit
- This submits (POST) to another page (redirect.php)
2. redirect.php adds more POST data to POST and then submits all this POST data to another page (offsite [payment portal])

The reason why we have to do this is for someone who knows our to read html source code, could easily find the sucessful page which will then do the processing we need to do on our side. Which means freebeis.

Calling A Post Script From A Post Script; Curl Works But ...
I am trying to call a php script B from script A.

However, when I do this with curl everything works fine except the url of the script is the url of script A. How can I make the URL the URL of script B.

Is this possible with curl?

PHP Post, Then HTML Post?
Using PHP, I want to POST or GET some variables to a second php page.
This, I already know how to do.

However, on the second php page, I want to use a simple, standard HTML
form using the standard form-submitting method such as:

<form action="https://orderpage.ic3.com/hop/orderform.jsp"
method="post">

whereupon both sets of variables --- the earlier variables that were
POSTed or GETted to the second page, along with the standard form
variables derived within the second page --- will be POSTed to the
above URL.

In the second page, might I actually translate the received variables
into actual HTML code? For instance, if my first page POSTed the
variable xyz to the second page, then might the following code on the
second page receive that variable and then include it when the second
page's "Submit" button is pressed?

<? $xyz=$_POST['xyz']; ?>
<INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="xyz" value="<?=$_POST['xyz']?>" >

Or how, otherwise, might this be done?
