Forward POST-variables
I have a form which should be submitted with either of two actions. Tried with javascript but this seems unreliable. Now looking at php and a processor page as the action of the form (process.php) which then sends the user to the different actionpages...can't figure out how to forward the post-variables to the different pages. Code:

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?

How To Forward A Page Using PHP

if (...)

}

now this is conditional so i cant use javascript and i also dont want to use that, how to do this in PHP, by forwading i mean opening a new page

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 ?

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'.

Generate Dynamic Images Alongwith Other Html Data.
I have a set of images on a server. I want to pick these from the
database without creating a

temporary file on the server; and also have some text alongwith it.

Something like,

ImageViewer.php
<?
print ( "<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=1'>" );
print ( " some description about the image... " );
print ( "<IMG SRC='GetImage.php?strImageId=2'>" );
print ( " some description about the image... " );
....
....
?>
GetImage.php would server me with the image data from the database,
probably something like this.
<?
.... Create database connection ...
.... Get image data from database depending on strImageId ...

header ( "Content-Type: Image/gif" );
print ( $image_data );
?>

Can't See My Post Variables
I work on an application which runs on our Intranet network, so security it's not a big issue, and my phpinfo() get me register_globals on (php 4.1.2 on a Debian system).
The problems is that I can't see my post variables (only with $_POST) and I don't get it . Is there another setting wich overrides php.ini and stop my register_globals ->on to behave properly ?

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:

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?

Update And/or Post To Web Page
I need to create a form that will:
1.) Open with the current data already in the form fields.
2.) Allow you to update the database from same form.
3.) Allow you to submit to post on a web page that users can see, (but not without being updated FIRST).

The structure of the database is simple. The most complicated part of it, is that it queries to get a "Percent Change" and "Price Change" and gives a choice (checkbox) of what lists it posts in. When "Post" is clicked, it inserts data into checked lists to be displayed. For example: Code:

Page Does Not Respond To POST To Itself
I developed my page at home, on a home server, now I am putting it on the web, I am using a normal post, so that the values will be posted onto itself for testing.

<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="thispage.php">

Is works find at home, but when I put it on the web it does not! What happens: the page appears good, when I click submit, the page goes blank. What should happen is, it should get redirected to next page or show itself. Somthing is not correct, has anyone meet this before?

Post A Variable To The Same Page
I am posting a form onto itself to verify input entry, I can get the value of text box and combo box, but how can I get the value of a “variable” (don’t use cookie or session)? That is if I use

if ($_POST["$Variable"]!=1){}.

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").

Clear GET & POST Value On Refresh Page
Hi everyone.

when I fill a form and then submit it , it works right
[address?value=sth]

But I wanna if then form refreshed by user, address changes to
[address] without POST & GET.

POST Form To Dynamic Page Name
I've got a simple form with an HTML OPTION block. I'd like to POST the
form to a page whose name is based on the OPTION they select.

So for example say the user selected this option, I'd like to POST the
form to a page named "memory.php".

echo "<option value="memory">Memory Utilization</option>";

How Can I Get List Of POST Fields In A Second Page?
I have a form on a page that is built on results from a db query. The user
can tick boxes/edit fields etc, and then submit to a second page that will
update the db. How do I know what my POST fields are and how many in the
second page (I am naming my fields in the form on the first by being a
common name with a unique ID from each record on the front, ie. each record
has a id_name, id_email etc etc.

Getting A Form To Post To A Specific Page
How do i get it so that a form can be submitted and have the information post directly to a page that i can specify without having to use a database.  I just want a direct post that inserts the new information at the top of a page already created.  Basically so every time the form is filled out a new piece of information is above the last.

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 ...

Back Button, Page Expired, GET And POST
I have read you can solve the back button problem with the page expiration by using GET method instead of POST. When I use the GET method with form data, it doesn't work.

I have a page with a dropdown submitting to a page getting the variable via POST. Then it links to another page, and I want them to be able to come back to the second page. When I use GET instead of POST I get an error.

Is There A Function That Can Find Out What Page A POST/GET Request Came From?...
Is there a function that can stop people from posting from a form that is off the server? So it will ONLY allow people to post from a certain page?

Parsing Info From Other Page (method POST)
- i want to get some info from the page XYZ to my page. XYZ page has a FORM where you can select DAY, MONTH, YEAR and you get the info about a day you selected.

- now, if i want to grab the info from let's say 20. august 2002 my url will look like this: http://XYZ/file.php?day=20&month=8&year=2002.

- THE PROBLEM is, their form has the POST method, which means, if i want to direct link the 20 august, it will bring me to the FORM page and not to DATE page.

is there any ways to bypass this?? I REALLY NEED THAT INFO?!

Sending Post Request To ICQ Web Page Messenger

How To Pass Current POST Data To Next Page ?
I got 2 php pages, called A.php and B.php.

A.php will display all the selected records to the user and ask for confirmation before any attempt to delete. Let say the user click on the submit button, the action of the form is pointed to B.php.

So my problem is, how can I pass all the current POST data in A.php to B.php as well ?
I need that cauz the POST data in A.php contains the data needed like ID, to perform the deletion.

I can manually write a VBScript to transfer the existing data into a query string and transfer it to the next page. However, it's not a POST data in nature. It wil become GET data right ? So what should I do ?

GET / POST Conflict In A Multi-page Form.
Wonder if anyone can help with this problem:

I am using an app with several pages, using a session to track vars
between the pages, and using an image map to re-direct back and
forwards between the pages.

The way I redirect is when the image map is clicked on, it posts to a
page called 'control.php' which passes the POST vars to the
corresponding SESSION variables, then redirects to another page, based
upon the co-ords of where the image map was clicked upon.

I have added text links at the bottom of the page:

i.e.

<--- previous page

----> next page

but because the image map POSTs the data to 'control.php', I can't
really add a GET query string to the link at the bottom of the page,
because nothing will be POSTed.

....But then again, I can't add a POST link to the HREF, because it
won't pass the co-ords, and I can't add a special variable to identify
the link to the control form -i.e. control.php?link=3 (as I could with
a GET) and re-direct accordingly.

So, after hours of thinking about this, I'm stumped.

The only idea I have is to hack the image map up into smaller pieces,
add ALT tags to each one, and make do with it - or add NEXT and
PREVIOUS submit images at the bottom of the page too.

If I make do one with large image map, it is no use to someone who is
visually impaired and relies on ALT wordings.

Is there any possible way to achieve what I am trying to do ?

How Does One Send A Large String As A POST To Another Web Page?
If I've a big string and I want to send it to another web page as a GET
request, I just use file(). I've done this often.

But what command do I use when I want to send the same string as a POST
request?

How To Post The Data From A Form To A Web Page Of Other Site
I WANT TO POST THE INFORMATION FROM MY FORM AFTER TAKING INPUT FROM THE USERS TO A WEBPAGE( PAYMENT PROCESSING SITE) WITHOUT VISTING THAT PAGE. I MEAN THE WEBPAGE SHOULD NOT BE DIRECTED TO THAT WEBPAGE(PAYMENT PROCESSING SITE). THE RECEPIENT WEBPAGE (payment processing page) RECEIVES THE INFORMATION THROUGH "GET" METHOD OF THE FORM. SO WE CAN USE "GET" METHOD IN OUR FORM.
