Browser Back After POST
I got an annoying problem using the POST-method to send a form's data: I put a login-form on the page which is sent by the POST-method to itself. After that the content of the POST-variables will be checked (!empty($_SESSION['xyz'])) and the rest of the page included. In order to show some informations (e.g. "Welcome John Doe") and becoming independent of specific POSTs, the data is also written to SESSION-variables. Now if I go to another page (by link) and after that back to the login-page by the browser's "back"-button, it cannot be displayed ("The page cannot be displayed..."). Only if I actualize the page it is displayed regularly. I know that this problem doesn't appear by using the GET-method, but because of security reasons I have to use POST. So what can I do to fix that problem? I don't want to disable the browsers back-button (or use some JavaScript).
Back Button POST Issue
Is there any way of disabling the repost of information when a user hits the back button? Is the only way to do this to actually use some sort of redirect on the page receiving the initial post (though this won't stop them hitting back twice and possibly reposting will it?)
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.

Form Reset When U Go Back
How do i stop reseting form inputs..when u go back in the browser I use sesession before printing forms. Session is just check whether user is login or not if they login then redirect to member section if not show the form. When you enter login information and if it is wrong .user need to go back and resubmit the login information. When u go back u need to type all information again which is just wasting time.
Passing Form Data Back Into The Same Script?
I am looking for a really simple example of passing submitted form data back into the same script. I've found quite a lot of stuff online about it, but none of which mentions the new $_POST globals and stuff. This is all that I want to do... 1. First run into the script, displays form 2. Form data submitted, same script run but check is made on $_POST variables (is isset() the best and safest function to use for this?). If all variables are present, skips to form processing code. Otherwise, reshows form with previously entered fields. I must admit, it's been a while since I've done any PHP and since moving to my new host (running a lot newer version of PHP, with the $_SESSION globals etc...) I'm more than a little confused as to the safest way of going about doing sessions. For form submitted data do I refer to it as $_POST['whatever'] throughout my script or is it acceptable to reassign them to locals at the top of every script? And does the same apply for $_SESSION?
Free Form Builder Utility With PHP Back End
I've developed a free interactive utility that will generate the bones of an HTML form with PHP processing. Its very simple to use and is just the ticket for getting the structure of a form in place. About 10 times a year I seem to have to do this chore so I decided to automate it and share. Let me know what you think, you can provide feedback on the site or send me an email..
Form / Results / Navigator's Back Button
I have a research form script, a result list script and an item page. Just classic! form page => result list page => item page When I'm at the item page and I click on the Navigator's back button I have the following message: Avertissement : expiration du délai pour cette page La page requise a été créée en utilisant les informations fournies dans un formulaire. Cette page n'est plus disponible. Par sécurité, Internet Explorer ne renvoie pas automatiquement les informations vous concernant. Pour envoyer vos informations à nouveau et afficher cette page Web, cliquez sur le bouton Actualiser . The normal use in fact . Is there any way to get to the list again?
FORM MEMORY ON PRESSING BACK BUTTON

Write PHP Output Back To Form Textbox
I have a web form composing of textboxs for users to enter numbers into. After they press submit, I have a php script that processes the numbers and now echos back the output onto the page. I would like the php output to "echo" into a textbox of the form. How can I do this?
Adding Color To What Is Being Emailed Back To Me On A PHP Form....
I'm trying to make it so that the questions on the email that gets emailed back to me from my PHP form, or the answers, are in a different color. I've tried adding , or <font color="red"> </font> in various places, but it's just not working. Always gives me a parsing error. Code:
Form Data Lost On Browsers Back Button
How is it possible that when a user fills in a form that i made, sends it and then hits the browsers back-button the form is empty. The strangest thing is that when i take these steps everything is ok. I think it has something to do with the settings in apache or php.
Preventing Back/forward Button Form Resubmission
I have a site that is form intensive and would like to prevent users on my site from resubmitting forms when they press back or forward, which they will likely do at some point no matter how I program it. So, I am interested from hearing from people who 1) had the same need and 2) implemented something in PHP with which they were satisfied. How did you go about doing this?
Pressing Browser Back Button - Form Filled Data Disappeared
When filling out a web form on a php page that is submitted to a search which lists the results based on the criteria provided (in the form), all works fine and as expected. However, when I press the back button to amend the form all of the search criteria data has gone and I have to fill it all out again if I want to do a similar search which is frustrating. (This does not actually happen in Firefox browser but most of my users will be using IE). How can I prevent this from happening? Previously I made a post about avoiding "Page has expired" and the conclusion I came to for that was not to use a "POST" which did the trick. But now I want to retain the data I input?

Form Post
I am using 15 text areas for the user to put in 15 names. so we have user1, user2,....user15. How can I do this below: $user1=$_POST['user1']; $user2=$_POST['user2']; $user3=$_POST['user3']; $user4=$_POST['user4']; $user5=$_POST['user5']; $user6=$_POST['user6']; to input the data in a table without actually having to type out 15 lines.

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? Cookies and sessions are not an option, URL line ('get') variables can't hold large enough a string...
Form Post Method
I am new to PHP. have worked in many languages in the past. I have a HTML page which posts back to the mail.php which mails the contents of the input text boxes. I wish to impose some error checking on the HTML form with JavaScript. How do divert to the javascrpit method and then do the POST after all checks OK....
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=<?=$aid?><ype=<?=$ltype?>" ENCTYPE="multipart/form data"> <input type="hidden" name="form" value="1">

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?
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?
Page Expired After Going Back From Del. Pageto Form Page Where Comment Is Submitted..
i've made a submit comment form with php and mysql, the form has an action to itself with a hidden var like this: input type=hidden action=add When i delete a comment on the page i go to a page called delete.php3 and there is a link with a javaline which goes -1 back in my history..

I wondered how to deal with this kind of problems........
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. PHP Version 4.1.2 Red Hat Linux release 7.3
Odd Result From PDF Form Post Processing

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

How Do I Send A Http POST Without Using A Form?

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?
