Pre-selecting Options In Html-form According To Database Entry
I've got a html-form consisting - among other fields - of several drop-down-boxes and radio button groups. With this form you should be able to either create a new dataset or to edit an existing one. If the latter is the case, my application should propose values (the ones which are already in the database) and write them into the input-fields. My problem is, it should have the according options pre-selected and the checkboxes checked, and I've no idea how to do this. (Example: I've a dropdown box for languages, and my dataset says the language is English, then in my dropdown box the option "English" should be preselected when this dataset is to be edited).

Using A Php Html Form With Data Which Is Loaded From A Mysql Database.
I am using a php html form with data which is loaded from a mysql database. Three of the fields are textareas. The data loads into these fields fine, except that the loaded text starts at what appears to be 2 or 3 tab characters to the left. See illustration: +---------<this is a textarea object>---------+ | This is about the way that| |the text loads from the database field. | | | | | +---------------------------------------------+ It's almost as if there's a textarea "align" property which is set to "center" by default unless otherwise explicitly stated. Is there some setting in the wrap property that will fix this, or should I be looking elsewhere?

Using Includes: Html Form Parse Data Inside 2nd Form.
i'm coming down the stretch, so to speak. i've got a lot of the separate things settled that i need for my main "date entry" form. due to the several data items which need to be collected by this form, i've decided to try using includes, which i've found isn't that tricky at all really. however, one of my includes needs itself to parse it's own little form data to result in the final entry to be submitted in the "date entry" form. perhaps doing this particular bit as an "include" is NOT the best option?

How To Get Html Tags From A Database ?
I have a database where people themself put a profilname into. I have just had a user who called his profil HisName<something> When this was written in my profil name list it only said HisName.

Is there some special way I should get the data from the database, or ?? I looked in MyPhpAdmin and here his name was HisName<something> so it is put in the database OK, it's when I get the name in the browser it can't get it right.

Secure Way To Store HTML In The Database?
to my understanding it is very unsafe to allow users to submit HTML from a form to the database. What if I allowed the user to use HTML, but when they submitted it I would change all the >'s and <'s into backets [ and ]. So the user would type out: <img src="image.jpg"> and it would be inserted into the database like this: [img src="image.jpg"] Would this be a secure way of doing it? Or is there a better way?

Importing Html To Mysql Database
I'm preparing to convert my "old" non-dynamic html website to php and mysql. I finally found a mediumly fast way to turn the html pages into raw data, but it has html codes within the content that I want to stay within the database. For example, I have DIV and CLASS codes with quote marks (div id="fred" - p class="red") that I want to stay. I've read through the mysql documentation and understand that I can set the fields-terminated-by, fields-enclosed-by and lines-terminated by with characters, but I can't find which characters are allowed. I also am not sure about doubling the quotes in order to keep them ("") or adding slashes ("), or what. I did a test run with phpmyadmin to add a simple four field test text file to a table I set up with phpmyadmin. I tried changing from the default field separators of ";" to "^" and record ends of "#". Nothing. Code:

OT? Php Form And Html
Sorry to ask an old question, but I cant seem to get this simple php to work. Ive looked at old postings and for whatever reason cant seem to get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im new to PHP. My PHP works just fine (apparently), but doesnt work the way I want it to. All I want to do is accept a login and password and then send it off to a perl script on 'submit'. It never appears to get into my 'if' section, any suggestions? I cant seem to get the following to work: <html> <body> <?php if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && ($_POST['login'] == 'login')) { print "Login: $login "; print "Pass: $pass "; $file = popen("/home/http/website/cgi-bin/gs_do_search.pl $login $pass","r"); while ($line = fgets($file,1024)) { // display it now } } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> Login: <input type="text" name="login"><br> Password: <input type="password" name="pass"><br> <br> <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="login"> </form> </body> </html>

PHP XML XSL HTML Form
I am working on a generic (php) script to produce (X)HTML Forms through XML and XSL based on field-definitions stored in a database. The basic way i did HTML-forms in PHP was like this: http://212.204.203.71/test/simpleform/simpleform.php source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/simpleform.php This basic form is validated when it is submitted to itself... if validation fails then an error message is created and displayed on the page...otherwise validation is ok and we can do some inserting in the database and/or redirect to another page. Remark: the fields that are filled will be automaically filled in if the page is submitted to itself (that will be my problem in the XML/XSL version of this script). Now we go over to the XML/XSL version of the script above: I therefore created an XML file (holding the field definitions) see: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xml And further i created an XSL file to transform the XML file into a HTML form. see: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xsl Then i used a file form.php to put the XML and XSL together using some PHP xslt functions: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.php source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/form.php This all works fine but now the problem. I am looking for a concept of how to get the formfields filled in again after submitting the form because in XSL this is not as easy as with my basic form. I tried to send firstname and lastname as parameters in the function call and to put them as parameters in the xsl file but that does not work and it is not ok at all because my intention was to build a generic script.... Hope you see my problem as it is hard to explain.

HTML Form Issue.
I think that this problem might have a simple solution. I have a html page which has a few text boxes. On the top of the form I have the following line of code: <form action="ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" method="POST"> Hence when the user clicks submit, my php script "ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" should be called. In my script I just have a simple echo statement which tries to display one of the values in one of the text boxes. <?php echo "First Name : "; echo $_POST['firstName']; ?> firstName being the name of one of the text boxes on my html page. When I click submit on the html page I get the following error message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method Not Allowed The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /complimentary.html. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What am I missing here? Is this an issue with the server I am trying to work on or is it something in the code I have written?

I Have A Problem With An HTML Form.
I have a problem with an HTML form. I have a form which I want to be able to type basic HTML code into it. When the submit button is selected the data is then previewed and added back into the text box again. Unfortunately all of the " charachters are escaped (I think that is the correct term) ie they have a leading added. This is causing me huge problems. I don't understand why that is happening. Any ideas? ------------------CODE-------------- <?PHP if(!isset($contents)) { include "config.php"; mysql_connect($cfg['dbhost'], $cfg['dbuser'], $cfg['dbpasswd']); $query = "SELECT `text` FROM `golf_contents` WHERE 1 AND `section` LIKE '$section'"; $result = mysql_db_query($cfg['dbname'], $query); if ($result) { while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $contents=$r["text"]; } } } $output = " <html> <head> <title> Edit Text </title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="edittext.php?section=$section"> <textarea rows="10" name="contents" cols="35"> $contents </textarea> <input type="submit" value="Preview" name="B1"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"> </form> <BR>Preview...<BR> $contents </body> </html> "; echo $output; ?>

Editing HTML In A Form?
I want to build a very basic online text editor, to allow customers to modify their own sites' html content using a simple form with textarea element. I read the HTML file like so: <?PHP function EditText ($filepath) { if (!$file = file($filepath)) return false; foreach ($file as $line) { $value .= $line; // contains all text in file when done } $html = "<html><head><title>Editor</title></head> <body> <form method='post' action='processtext.php'> <textarea rows=ཤ' cols=ྌ' name='txt' value='$value'> <input type='submit'> </form> </body> </html>"; echo $html; return true; } EditText ('/sample/index.html'); ?> The problem comes when the parsed file containing html elements itself is echoed to the browser. In itself, PHP does what it's asked, but all browsers I tried choke on the contents of the TEXTAREA field. Best example may be: try parsing the file containing the script itself, it becomes a real mess. I tried htmlspecialchars, this did not fix it. I tried addslashes to only escape the quotes in the parsed file, also no success. I saw one example online where 'they' preg_replaced about every possible (x)html and php syntax element, resulting in an immensely large and slow script. Can't imagine that's the proper way forward. If at all possible I'd like to stay away from Javascript. Any idea if this is a realistic approach? Are there any useable scripts available? I searched google a lot, but I keep ending up at sites that offer html or php editors for local use, not in a browser.
