PHP :: Get Unknown Number Of Variables From POST Or GET.

POST Params - Getting Unknown
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to generate the actual URL of the
current PHP script (with all POST data included)?

I have a third-party application that I'd like to use to see HTTP
requests to my server. For the most part, it works, but I believe some
of the variables are named incorrectly.

In a nutshell, the application transmits to
http://myserver.com?this=that&that=theOther, where my script grabs the
post data. I want to modify my script to save the actual POST url into
the database so I can see all of the POST parameter names.

Array_intersect With Unknown Number Of Arrays
I have a question regarding array_intersect() in PHP 4.3. There are several
arrays created on the fly, such as:

$values['apples'];
$values['bananas'];
$values['pears'];

To extract only the values they have in common I tried this:

$command = "array_intersect(";
for ($i=0; $i<count($values); $i++) {
$command .= "$values['$values[$i]'],";
}
$command = substr($command, 0, -1);
$command .= ");";
$result = eval($command);

If Statement With Unknown Number Of Cases
I need to break out of a loop if an unknown number of conditions are satisfied.

I'm starting with a comma-delineated list of numbers of an unknown length (more than 1). I've got a function (we'll call it what($n) here) that'll return either true or false depending on $n. Now, I want to leave a loop (using continue) if it's not true that all the numbers in the list are true. Eh?

well, suppose the list is 1,2,5
then the code would be
if (!((what(1)) && (what(2)) && (what(5)))) continue;

The problem is, I don't know how long the list is, so I can't code a definite number of &&s! How can I get round this? I'm sure there must be a way but I can't think how!

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;...

How Do You Assign A Various Number Of Variables?
I'm struggeling with a small search engine here. I'm trying to put everything together myself, but I have a problem.

I've made a small form where search-words can be entered. This string is put into a variable $search. Then I've split this string up in pieces using the SPLIT command. something like this:

list ($one, $two, $three) = split ('[ ]', $search);

This works very nicely, but there is only one small problem. I can't possibly know how many search words will be used. It could be only one, but it could very be 10 or more (although unlikely). I thought about creating 10 variables, and in case they use less, they are just blank, but then if I use a OR function between these empty variables, the complete database (MySQL by the way) is called for.

I don't know if you're getting the picture, but I want to know how I can assing a number of variables not knowing the amount in advance.

The Same Operation On A Number Of Variables.
I have a big number of variables, mostly data from the form.
I want to convert all empty variables into "NULL".
Obviously for each variable I could write:
if (empty($a)) $a=="NULL";
if (empty($b)) $b=="NULL";...and so on....
But let's say I have like a hundred of them.
Is there any way to write it in just a few rows ???

Multiply A Number Of Variables...
I been wondering which way is the correct way to code this .... i have 5 variables i need to add together then multiply by 5.

So i got this:

$Total = $StrengthInput + $DexterityInput + $DefenceInput + $AgilityInput * 5;

Then i wondered would it be better to do this:

$Total = $StrengthInput + $DexterityInput + $DefenceInput + $AgilityInput;
$NewTotal = $Total * 5;

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:

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:

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");

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>

Count The Number Of Days Between Two Date Variables?
I would like to have a variable with a set date go against the current date, and determine the number of days between the two dates.?

Variable Number Of And Names Of $_REQUEST Variables
I have a form that will be submitted to a processing page, but the names of the inputs and the number of them are dynamic. Is there a way I can see all the passed $_REQUEST variables?

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?

Forward To Page Alongwith Variables In POST
How to forward a page to another page alongwith the parameters passed into it

I mean I have page a.php
which is called with some parameters in $_POST and I require to pass these to another page with same variables in $_POST

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>

Makethumb Unknown Function?
I am using a classifieds AD's program called Z Classifieds, it has the ability to add photos to your advert. The problem is that it only allows jpeg/jpg formats, does anyone know a good reason for this?

It also uses a function: makeThumb( $newphoto[ $i ], "{$IMAGE_DIR}/thumb/{$photoid}.jpg" ); could someone please tell me what it is calling, is it MySQL, PHP or something else?

Also how could i use imagemagick or netpbm to allow all types of files, the way this thing produces thumbnails they sometimes look crap and badly coloured.
