PHP :: How Do I Make A Normal Textlink That Submits A Form?

Server-Side Form Submission - Form Submits To Form, Which Autosubmits. BAD!
I have a php form from which the user fills out their name and address and clicks "Submit".

The form goes to a page that stores the data in a mySQL database, then, using hidden fields, populates another form and actives with a javascript onLoad=submit() to send the information on to the final destination.

I cannot control or edit the final destinations web page, which is why the interim page is needed.

What I would like is for the user to fill out the form, and upon submission have the data recorded into the database and have the data passed on in a "form like way" on to the final destination BY THE SERVER, not by the use of a hidden form page that auto submits.

Any suggestions?

Here is the interim page's code below:

<?
$link = @mysql_connect($db_host_name, $db_name, $the_decoded_password) or die;
@mysql_select_db($db_name) or die;

$query = "INSERT INTO web_link VALUES ('', '$a', '$b', '$c','$d', '$e', '$f', '$g', '$h')";
$result = @mysql_query($query) or die;
?>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body onLoad="document.contactme.submit();">
<form name="contactme" method="post" action="http://www.test.com/cgi/storethisdata" >
print "<input type="hidden" name="first_name" value="$first_name"><br>";
print "<input type="hidden" name="last_name" value="$last_name"><br>";
print "<input type="hidden" name="email" value="$email"><p>";
print "<input type="hidden" name="phone" value="$phone"><p>";
?>
</form>
</body>

</html>

Form With To Submits, Which One To Default To?
Say, I have a form. Both cancel and save (in that order) are submits, then in the code I check which button was pressed. The point is that I want the save button (2nd) to be default, not the cancel. Is there a way (in js?) to "focus" the other button? One other way to be some simple js, which submits the page anyway......

PHP Form To PDF File - How Do I Make PDF Secure?
I have a simple PHP form that grabs names and emails of everyone that wants to download a PDF file. When the required info is entered into the form, it gives them a link to the PDF which they can download (no problem so far). However if they then wanted to send that PDF URL to other people, they could just bypass the form and just download the PDF directly.

I’ve seen references to this question in a few places, but no answers, can someone give me some ideas how I secure the PDF, or guide me to a tutorial?

How To Make A Form In Php Accepting Indefinite Inputs?
I was trying to figure out how to make such a form:

When I enter a data and click the [add] button, the data gets

on the same page). This repeats until I click [done] button.

Multiple Submits Broken In PHP5
I have a page with multiple submit buttons. Call them "ok" and
"cancel". I have the coding in PHP as:

if (isset($ok)) { something } and if (isset($cancel)) { something
else }

This works fine in PHP 4.X. In PHP5 it doesn't work at all (no action
at all). What is the replacement coding and how can I code so that it
works in all versions of PHP?

Using '$' In Normal Text
// set the file name
$filename = config.php";

// open the file

// create the string

$dbpass="dbpass";
$dbname="dbname";"

// write the string to the file handle
fputs($handle, $string);

// close the file
fclose($handle);

Normal SQL Query Won't Work?!
The page "news.php" can have the following functionality:

1. news.php
outputs a general "this is the newspage"-text (left column) and lists the 5 latest news (in the right column)

2. news.php?action=archive
lists alla news i database (left column)
and 5 latest (in right column)

3. news.php?action=item&newsID=n
shows single news (bases on newsID) and 5 latest news i right column.

Depending on which URL-string news.php gets, a different function gets executed.

I know that the function (and the URL-stringJ works, since I did a simple
test with "echo"-strings. However, when I add the code below, the page
will not render properly. PHP Code:

No Libphp4.so File Created In Make Intstall Or Make.
I have done a make, and a make install on the 4.3.6 version, using
/usr/local/etc/php as the directory I make from. However, no matter what
I do, I do not see a php4lib.so that has been created. The documentation
I recieved (an IBM source) says that the following has to be added to the
httpd.conf file :

LoadModule php4_modulelib/apache/libphp4.so

..
AddModule mod_php4.c

What Are Normal Ways To Scale Up PHP's Default Settings For Growing Traffic?
PHP comes with certain defaults, set in php.ini. Among these, scripts
time out after 60 seconds, I think. The default memory limit for a
script is, I believe, 8 megs.

I assume that when people do large-scale sites with PHP they scale
these numbers up. If you have a content management system running every
aspect of a large corporate web site, including a database back end
that employees use for important, secret, protected information, then I
imagine there is quite a lot of processing that might be needed for
every request.

A limit that I run into all the time is the memory limit. If I get a
large amount of info back from the database, and then try to store the
return in an array, it is easy to go over the default 8 meg limit.

How To Make A "sophisticated" Insert Record Form ?
I have a DB with many inter-related tables (MySQL)
My main table called "content" has almost only foreign keys (integers)
some have a 3 level relation (ex: content->city->region->country)

I would like admins to be able to insert new records including all the
"content" fields (in 1 page form)

But how can I make an insert form that would display the related
tables as list menus instead of a textfield with a number? (ex: select
country from a drop down menu instead of typing the foerign key
number)

Main content Table:
IDRef = primary key
IDLocation = foreign key --related to tables city->region->country
IDDescription = foreign key --related to table Description (=several
big and small text fields)
IDImages = foreign key --related to image (=image and thumbs path, alt
text, etc..)

Do you know any tutorial, help or solution ?

Attaching A String To A Normal Word Without Loosing The String
In my database I have content rows that are either called <contentname>_title or <contentname>_fulltext. now when someone clicks a link on the site it goes to index.php?action=<contentname> so I guess you see where im going..

when someone goes to such a section index.php sees $action is used and attaches it to _title and _fulltext, so u get: $action_fulltext.. basicly of cuz php now sees it as one string '$action_fulltext' and not '$action'_fulltext.

Displaying Priorty Records And Normal Records In The One Dataset.
I have a page which displays the records from the database and uses paging to display the records in groupes of 10 per page.

I now want to be able to show results depending on the database field (display) in the database (can be set to either "full" or "limited"). If the record and the field display is equal to "full" i want to then display this record at the top of the record set and display all the fields.

If the record is equal to "limited" i want to display different results and they must show after all the records which are equal to "full". I can't output two different recordsets as i use paging and only want to show 10 records per page. Code:

Need To Make An IP Ban Mask
I need to create a small PHP script for my site that allows me to ban certain IPs. Ive created a script that reads a file, and if the IPs in the file match the user IP, they cant access the site.

However, i want to take this one step further, and allow masks to be specified. What i mean by this is i'd like to be able to put in the banfile something like: 111.111.111.*, and it would then ban anything in the range 111.111.111.0 - 111.111.111.255.

Can PHP With AJAX Make Changes To The Url?
I am currently doing a forum script project (using PHP/MySQL, and hopefully, some AJAX).

One concern is that if AJAX can handle $_GET and output its content to the url?

Say if my forum index page is called index.php, then if I click on a thread, it displays the thread AND changes the url to index.php?postid=1

Is this possible?

FYI, I plan to use Xajax library.

Make Php Faster?
I've been recently testing a little few things with php (mainly speed).
On thing I've noticed is that php is incredible SLOW to start up.
Compared a perl script and php script aside of each other. In case of my
system it took perl roughly 6ms , but php over 30ms . php only got
activated things like MySQL, ming en pdflib.
Ok, the runnings time are pretty short, but I try to make things as
efficient as possible. Mainly because it is for a production server and
can't predict what customers will do.
Are there ways to get php at least to catch up with perl's speed?

Is It Possible To Make Your Own Function For Encryption?
I am sorry for bringing up *yet another* post about encryption, but I was just curious. Is there a way to make your own encryption function? I mean, that would make it more secure than anything, right? Since no one else would have that encryption key or whatever? Is there a way to look at the current encryption functions like MD5 or crypt? I know it's a lot more complicated than a=1 and b=2, but I think it'd be cool if I could come up with my own form of encryption (with the help of a professor, of course)!
