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.

List Subscribe Form
trying to make a simple subscribe form for an email list like so...

$to = "news-subscribe@mysite.org";
mail($to, "subscribe", "subscribe", "From:$subscribe
Reply-To:$subscribe");

but the email list never confirms the subscription by email so can't figure out whether its getting the email or not? nether the subject or body text are necessary, its the address that does the command, any ideas anyone?

Form Entry List
I have a form with one box into which users type a few words (an email address).

That entry is emailed to me. I need to copy each entry into one text file automatically so I do not have to copy them manually out of each email one at a time. The result would be one text file with the entries listed down the page, one by one.

Dynamic Form Option List
I want to create a dynamic drop down option list in a form, but I just can't wrap my head around this.

Both of the below scripts work as intended, but how do I make the mySql query results work with my existing script?  Yes, I know I must replace the "$options = array" part in the top piece of code, but I need a little more guidance than that. Code:

Dynamic Form - How To Set Values Of A List
I have a form with a list/menu in it that is populated with records from a database. The items in list#2 are based upon what is selected in list#1.

I have been able to use a combination of php and javascript to get it to work, but the javascript reloads the page to get list #2 to refresh - and that clears out any other fields that have been filled in. Instead of javascript being called for the 'onchange' event for list #1, I'd rather it call php when list#1 is changed and so reset the values in list#2.

OPTIONS:
1. I thought I could have a php function that is called (i.e.   onchange="<?php reload();?>" but I can't figure out how to set the values of the list from within the php function. How to reference form objects with php?

Post Data W/out Form
I want to post variables to a php script, but I do not want to use a form to do this... is there some sort of header I can use to redirect and post values to another page?

I am new to PHP. have worked in many languages in the past.

Form Post Doesn't Work
I have RH9 Linux with the versions of Apache and PHP that came with
it. The PHP is version 4.2.2 on the CD, I believe. Apache, I think, is
version 2.0.

I found I can do some regular PHP stuff like pull data back from MySQL
and show it, but posting form data from one web form to another web
page simply doesn't work for some reason. Has anyone seen this?

Example:

XML Form Post To External URL
I'm far enough along in PHP to know how to create input forms, grab the form input as $_POST variables, do some basic validation checks and present the errors to the user for resubmit if needed. For the life of me I can't understand why I can't post data as an XML document to one of my advertisers.

For example, a lead form is complete with Name, Address, Phone, and so on. I capture the form data and submit as an XML document. This particular advertiser will only accept data as an "External XML Post." I tried using Javascript and PHP with cURL, but I'm going in circles trying snippets of other people's code -- it's been a week. At this point all I want to do is assume IE7 (nothing else!) and no data checks, just "here's the XML, here's the external URL" and show me that HTTP POST actually works. Right now I'm thinking it's a bunch of junk :-) Someone please help.

Here's my server info:

PHP Verion 4.4.4
Apache/2.0.46 (Red Hat)
CURL support enabled
CURL Information libcurl/7.15.4
DOM/XML enabled
DOM/XML API Version 20020815
libxml Version 20510
HTML Support enabled
XPath Support enabled
XPointer Support enabled
XML Support active
XML Namespace Support active

Here's a sample of XML, let's call it "data.xml"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<DataFormSubmit>
<individual id="12345">
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
<Address></Address>
<Phone></Phone>
</individual>
</DataFormSubmit>

POST XML document to URL on an external website for example:
http://www.example.com/othersite/xml.aspx

Response XML is equally simple. There is no mention of MethodCall, MethodResponse and Params like the books say, so please don't use those elements in your reply to me. There is mention of field requirements like "Text field" "255 character max" "Numeric" but I think this can be handled by the input validation scripts. I'm just trying to POST and get a response.

I've received errors refering to "permission denied" "access denied" "object expected" but at this point I've edited my code so many times I don't know what's right or wrong any more. Here's one of my failed cURL examples:

<?php
// XML data as string
$request = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
$request .= '<DataFormSubmit>'
$request .= '<individual id="12345">'
$request .= '<FirstName></FirstName>'
$request .= '<LastName></LastName>'
$request .= '<Address></Address>'
$request .= '<Phone></Phone>'
$request .= '</individual>'
$request .= '</DataFormSubmit>'

// Create Headers
$header[] = "Host: www.example.com";
$header[] = "Content-type: text/xml";
$header[] = "Content-length: ".strlen($request) . "
";
$header[] = $request;

// Send using CURL
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_URL, "http://www.example.com/othersite/xml.aspx"); // URL to post
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1 ); // return into a variable
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header ); // headers from above
curl_setopt( $ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' ); // special POST with specified Content-type
$result = curl_exec( $ch ); // runs the post
curl_close($ch);

echo $result; // echo reply response
?>

And I tried a Javascript variations using code like
xmlhttp = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") but I'll save that for a followup post since this is getting long.

Anyone out there doing external XML form post?

Form Post Issues
I have a webpage that uploads a photo picture file to server, but goes
through some error checking before it redirects to the next page. Since I do
not have PHP compiled with mime type support I have checking last 3
characters of filename. Here are my problems:

1) When I set form type to ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" i can check the
file size correctly and works fine, but then filename and extension are in
some weird format which is binary I believe.

form = 1
Photo: /tmp/phpnDF01W
image_x = 89
image_y = 16
Ext: 01w < this is wrong, should be gif/jpg/etc...
Size: 34326
File: /tmp/phpnDF01W < this is wrong

2) When I omit the above form type and use default, file size function fails
but the extension and filename work correctly. I believe this is because it
is sent in ascii/plain text mode.

Warning: filesize(): Stat failed for C:WINDOWSDesktopsci.psd
(errno=2 - No such file or directory) in
/home/fcl/public_html/free/index3.php on line 30

form = 1
photo = C:WINDOWSDesktopsci.psd
image_x = 66
image_y = 12
Ext: psd
Size: ??????
File = C:WINDOWSDesktopsci.psd

3) I'm also trying to get the file to the server and it's not uploading it.
It's creating the directories but not moving the file up there for me!!

4) Here is code. What is going on? Can I kill 3 birds with one stone here?
I'd rather not recompile PHP. Must I convert $ext from binary to plain
text?

while(list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_GET_VARS)) {

echo "$key = $value<br>";
}

if ($form) {

if ($photo) {

$ext = strtolower(substr($photo, -3));

function fsize($photo) {
return filesize($photo);
}

$size = fsize($photo);

if ($size > 100000) {

$focus = "photo";
$msg = "Your file size exceeds the maximum allowed
upload. Please re-submit or skip this step.";

} elseif (!preg_match("/(gif|peg|jpg|bmp|png)$/",
$ext)) {

$focus = "photo";
$msg = "Invalid file type. Please submit a gif, jpeg,
bmp, or png photo.";

} else {

if ($ltype == "1") { $type = "hotel"; }<-- this all works fine, etc
if ($ltype == "2") { $type = "inn"; }
if ($ltype == "3") { $type = "bandb"; }
if ($ltype == "4") { $type = "resort"; }

$imgdir = "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/lodging/$type"; <-- this all works fine,etc
if (!file_exists($imgdir)) { mkdir($imgdir, 0755); }
$imgdir.= "/$aid";
if (!file_exists($imgdir)) { mkdir($imgdir, 0755); }

move_uploaded_file($photo, "$imgdir/photo1.jpg"); <---this is not
working!!

loc("index4.php?sid=$sid&aid=$aid"); <-- works fine

}}

<form name="form1" method="post"
action="<?=$SCRIPT_NAME?>?sid=<?=$sid?>&aid=<?=$aid?>&ltype=<?=$ltype?>"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form data">
<input type="hidden" name="form" value="1">

Form Post Not Working
I've made a small script where my users can enter their usernames into a form and when they press submit it sends the username to me as an email. It doesn't seem to be working though. Check the Code:

Form POST To MySQL WHERE
I have a form that is posting to another page, and on that other page the posted elements fill out a MySQL where statement. It is posting school, state, and category. When each field has a value in it, it works fine. However, the default value of "All Schools" or "All States" or "All Categories" will not work. I've tried using a * and also an %. I've also just left the fields at value="", but after post, it considers that a value even if i'm using isset to check it.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Can Php Post A File To A Form?
Without using upload. If I have a file on the server, can php send it to another php script as post data?

Post A Form To A Different Website?
Perhaps, not a PHP question but I have a <form> variable that I need to access on a different website.

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.write("<form method='post' name='samplesearch' action='http://<my-website>'>");
                document.write("<input type='hidden' name='data' value='<?=$data;?>'>");
                document.samplesearch.submit();
//-->
</script>

This works in IE but now FF.  Why?  Security concern?  Should I use cURL instead?

Problems With Form Processing: Array_key_exists() And While (list($k,$v) = Each($arr))
I have an HTML form I'd like to process.

<select name="items[]" multiple>
<option value="doughnuts">Hot Doughnuts</option>
<option value="coffee">Hot Brewed Coffee</option>
<option value="tea">Hot Tea</option>
<option value="cake">Sponge Cake</option>
<option value="chips">Hot Chips</option>
</select>

The problem I have it where I follow the Programming PHP book:

// Should the 's' be the name of the select tag, or the name of
// the submit button?

if (array_key_exists( 's', $_POST ))
{
$selected = "User selected these options:

";

while (list($k, $v) = each($_POST['items']))
{
// Is $v "doughnuts" or "Hot Doughnuts"?
$selected .= "$v
"
}

// ...
}

Retrieve Array From FORM List Of Values?
I have created a form where a user selects 2 items from a list of 8 values.
That form field is called "choices" and returns a value to the php file as
$choices. This form posed no problem when I only allowed a single item to be
selected, but the client now needs to have 2 items selected at a time.

The problem I'm having is that I don't know how to turn the multiple
selections on the form in to an array. I thought the $choices variable
would automatically become an array, but
Using[color=blue]
> for ( $i = 0; $i<2; $i++ )
> echo "$choices[$i] ";[/color]
only returns the first two letters of the last selected item value.

And
[color=blue]
> foreach($choices as $articles)
> echo $articles. ' ' ;[/color]

Returns an invalid argument.

While echo $choices returns the second item selected in the list, but not
the first.
It appears that the variable is replacing the first item selected with the
second rather than returning an array.

Posting Form List Multiple Values ?
how to get the values using post from a multiple list form when more than one value is selected ?.. is it possible ?

Putting Form Error Messages Into A List
I have some form validation and I want to put all the error messages that are displayed into a bulleted list. I have seen it done with more complicated validation using OOP but I don't know enough to do that. How would I add these error messages to a list if they occur? Code:

Calling A Php Function From A Form Selection List
I have a function that will read records from the database and populate an area of my webpage based on a value selected from a list box. 

I have got it to work fine if the user hits a submit button but I was wondering if it possible to perform the function dynamically each time the user changes the value in the list box.

Sending Form POST Data To SSL
I've seen posts on here before about this, but I could never figure it out. I even downloaded the code that was posted and tried to pick it apart to get it to do just what I need, but never succeeded.

What what I understand it deals with using Sockets and sending the header information. Maybe that's where my lack of knowledge lies.

For a regular post it should be sent to port 80, and for SSL 443 right?

How do you go about forming the header of the data? I've never seen that kind of thing, and I'm guessing that's where I'm goofing up.

I'm trying to set up a test:

index.php posts data to test1.php and then displays the results.

$var1 = 'test'

then test1.php would do something very basic like drop it into a line of text.

"This is a <? echo"$_POST['var1']";?> of the gotspy broadcast system."

So I would assume if everything worked right, going to index.php should return: "This is a test of the gotspy broadcast system."??

Yes, no?

How To Post Form Data After Validation
I'm posting the contents of a html form (I have the html form on the same file as the php mail()) to itself in order to validate and then send an e-mail. However, I'd like it to post it to another php file after upon successful validation. Can someone tell me how to do this?

Just a bit of background - the reason why I'd like to do this is because I have multiple contact us forms on a site, and for efficiency purposes, I'd like to have a single form mail script so that I don't have to keep editing the php.

How Can A Form Set To 'get' Return 'post'?
I have a form which the user fills out to enter some data.

If there already exists an uncompleted session - say, the user started
entering some data but had to stop to do something else - the user has
the option of selecting that session from a drop-down menu (think
<form><select><option>....</option></select></form>). The method for
that particular form is set to 'GET' and the action is
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']. The <selecttag has a bit of javascript
(onChange) which, when the session is chosen, triggers a 'submit' of
the uncompleted session's session ID number.

So the user selects the uncompleted session, the session ID is looked
up, the data retrieved, and the page reloads and shows the data which
they (or someone else) already entered, retrieved from a mySQL table
(using the session ID) designated to temporarily store data from
uncompleted sessions until it is ready to be written to the
'permanent' tables. At this point the user should update any
information if so desired, then click on "Submit" at the bottom of the
page to update the table and go on to the next page of the form. This
causes the same page to reload, validation is run, and if it passes it
again reloads the page only this time it sets a flag to write a <meta>
redirect tag to the page. The page is reloaded but instantly
redirected to the next page (I couldn't use "header()" because the
headers are already written).

The validation script is part of the same document. There is an IF
statement at the head of the validation portion - if
($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST'). This should, in theory,
prevent the script from running a retrieved 'open session' through the
validation, at the end of which if everything passes validation the
data for that session is updated (or if it is a new
session ,inserted). It should only be invoked if someone presses the
"Submit" button at the bottom of the page, which is set to "POST". So
in theory, the validation should only be run when "submit" is clicked
by the user, not when an open session is selected and "submit" is sent
by the 'onChange' javascript.

What's going screwy is that the open session's request method is
coming back as "POST" even though it is explicitly set as "GET". So
when an open session is retrieved, the page reloads, the validation is
run, everything checks out so the data is updated and the browser
loads the next page, without the user getting the opportunity to
update any of the retrieved open session's data.

I hope I have explained this clearly. Can someone tell me why the
first submit - the one for the drop-down menu of open sessions - is
returning POST even though it is set to GET? This is screwing
everything up and I can't figure a way around it.

Form Post To Text File
I have a form that posts to my php file which in turn writes to a text file. The way I'm doing is probably far from efficient or the right way, but it's the first thing i've ever written and I have to get it done.
The way it writes now is it just puts all the form input next to each other in a text file. I want each field to be delimited or on new line so I can read it easily. Here's a snippet of my code:

<?php>
$filename = 'orders.txt'
$fp = fopen($filename, "a");

$string4 = $_POST["email"];
$string5 = $_POST["street1"];
$string6 = $_POST["street2"];

$write = fputs($fp, $string4);
$write = fputs($fp, $string5);
$write = fputs($fp, $string6);

fclose($fp);?>

Form Method Post Does Not Work, But GET Does
I have a form, if it uses method get, the variables gets passed. In the response page, when I print out the $_GET array, it prints out all the values passed in from the from.

BUT, if I use the form method POST, the $_POST array is empty.

I don't understand why it isn't working for $_POST.

The register_globals variable is set to Off by the way.

Odd Result From PDF Form Post Processing
I have a PDF form that contains a submit button with an associated action that causes the populated PDF file to be submitted to my web server, similar to POSTing an HTML form, but instead it happens via Acrobat, no HTML involved. Code:

POST Blanks Out Form Fields
I have a form that POSTs to itself and validates data entered into the form.
If all is well the form performs a header location command to move to the
next input form in the series. If the user has entered an error within the
form the user is NOT redirected to the next page and error messages are
displayed indicating the fields that are in error. So far so good. The only
problem is that all the input fields are now blanked out after the post.
These fields must display all the values that were inputted before the post
was executed.

I have tried the following to no avail......

reassigning values like this after the post => $zip=$_POST['zip'];

reassigning values like this after the post =>
$fullname=$_SESSION['fullname'];

Utilizing this Meta Tag => <META HTTP-EQUIV="CACHE-CONTROL" CONTENT="CACHE">

How can I keep the data that was entered into the form fields before the
post was executed?

How To Detect Which Link Was Used To POST A Form
Have a PHP script that reloads itself into one of two modes, depending on which text link you click on. Right now it's done using the GET method, by appending different variables to the URLs, but I'd like to convert it to POST if that's not too hard.

Values Not Displaying In Second Form After Post.
I have two forms that are used to collect user information. The first one
takes user inputted values such as fullname, city, address etc. I want these
values to display in the second form when it is called. Both forms are .htm
files that call themselves when the submit button is press via the following
command in each form:

<form method="post" action="<?php $server['PHP_SELF']?>">

The server is set to parse .htm files as php. Everything else is working
fine and all the validation checks are working fine. Based on certain
validation checks that are within the form php code, the user is either left
on the input form page to correct errors or if there are no errors the user
is passed to the next form via a Java call....

<script language="javascript">
<!--
location.replace("order2.htm");
-->
</script>

I have even put a session_write_close() before the redirect hoping this
would fix the problem of not displaying the inputted values from the first
form into the second form.

The server value for global variables is set to ON.

In the second form I have tried to display the values from the first form
after the POST using the following three methods:

$fullname;
echo $HTTP_POST_VARS['fullname'];
echo $_POST['fullname'];

Nothing works...

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>";

Submit Form Via Post To A New Window?
i want to submit $_POST vars to a new window. is that possible? I tried this and it didnt work...

echo "
<form name='form1' method='post' action="javascriptpen('blarblarblar.php')">
<input name='Submit' type='submit' value='submit'>
<input type='text' name='postvar' value=??'>
</form>";

in the new window, i cant get my postvar.

How Do I Send A Http POST Without Using A Form?
I looked at using curl library, but it's not available on the host where I'm building my application. I need to be able to send a POST to a payment gateway and receive their response back.

Using The GET And POST Form Methods Correctly
I have a form that I want customers to fill out and submit. Based on the answers to the questions, the results page will display dynamic results.

My first instinct was to use the GET method, and append the answers to a URL, and have the results page look for the parameters. After doing some research, it appears that the POST method is cleaner and safer, however, it is not as intuitive for me.

My question is this. When using the POST method, how do I get my results page to see the post value. I know how to configure the if statement to display the appropriate result, but I don't know how to get the result page to recognize and read the POST values.

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.

Passing POST Information Without A Form
I have no clue if this is possible, and if it is, how to do it.  Basically, I am creating a vote server system for my school, there is a central server with IIS, MySQL and PHP 5 on it, and I need to write all the pages that will get the information and display it, allowing the students to vote.  I have the index page, which is nothing more than the login page, at least for now.  When the student enters his / her student ID, the database checks if it exists by using this query:

mysql_query('SELECT count(*) FROM `students` WHERE `snumber` = ''.$sid.''');

if the number is 1, the ID exists, if it is 0, it does not, simple.  I will then transfer the person to vote.php, which will get the person's first and last name and display it at the top, then display all the vote information, and if they exist, poll questions as well.  MY question is this, how would I go about transferring the person from index.php (where their student ID is validated) to vote.php where they will be allowed to vote, and also passing their student ID in a POST variable?  I don't want to use vote.php to validate becuase I don't want the person to accidentally be able to vote without entering proper information.  I also don't want to pass their student ID through GET for obvious reasons.  IS there anything I can do?

Sending POST Withought A Form
Im looking for a way to send data to a page as POST, but withought having to use a form.  Eg GET is in the URL, but i want the URL to be withought all that data. Is it possible to send the POST this way, or isit only ann option with forms?

Print Array In List/menu Form Object
how i print a full column array into a list/menu form object, so that the text links to their respective page.....it is basically for a list of interviews so you click on the band name and then goto the interview page.

Retrieving Contents Of Select List On Form Submit
On an HTML form, I have a select list that is fed dynamically with
detail records when the master record is displayed on the form.

There is also a second lookup list, and want to allow the user to
dynamically select from this list and add to the first list. I also
want the user to be able to dynamically remove from and reorder the
first list. I think I can do all of this with JavaScript.

The question I have, is how can I retrieve the contents of the first
list when the user submits the form? I need to get it back into a php
array so I can update and add the proper database records.

Populate A Drop Down List In A Form On The Basis Of A First Selection
