Identifying Dynamic Form Fields
User goes to page which is a form that asks for some basic info regarding returning products for credit/exchange, and also asks for how many products are going to be returned. Upon submitting, a return authorization form is presented to them with the specified number of product fields. I now want to take the input from this form and email it to myself, as well as, display a confirmation page to the user. The problem I have is a can't say, for instance, echo "$field_name"; because field_name will get created dynamically after the user specifies how many products to return. For example, say the user says 5 products, this will generate a form with field names like:
return_code0 inv_num0 qty0 product0 cre_exch0 stockout0
return_code1 inv_num1 qty1 product1 cre_exch1 stockout1
return_code2 inv_num2 qty2 product2 cre_exch2 stockout2 and so on....
These get created with a for() loop. Once this form is submitted, how can I address the field names? Code:

Dynamic Form Fields/multiple Page Form?
It is for a friends out of print booksite, where visitors can request multiple books to be searched by adding one at a time to a cart (javascript), then once all added they submit to another form where they enter their personal details and all is sent through. The problem is at the moment they cannot change whats in the cart without refreshing the browser window and losing everything. 1) present for asking how many books they want to search for 2) display multiple rows of the same input fields depending on how many books they say they want to have searched for?i.e title|author|publisher|etc title|author|publisher|etc title|author|publisher|etc 3) when these are submitted they could see these above the next part of the form where they enter their details with the option to go back and delete/amend. 4) send all the info to my colleague. if so has anyone seen a similar script that I could take a look @ to see if I can hack it to suit my needs?

Getting Dynamic Form Fields
i have a list of editable form fields that are dynamically created from the records in the database and are named: $matchNo = "1"; / loop through database records <input name="home_score_<? echo $matchNo; ?>" type="text" id="home_score_<? echo $matchNo; ?>" value="<? echo $home_score; ?>" size="2" maxlength="2"> $matchNo = $matchNo + "1"; // end loop When the user presses submit i then need to write these to another table. So how do i retrieve the list of form fields when they have dynamic names and the number of form fields differs each time?

Dynamic Fill Form Fields Depending On Dropdown Box
This question has probably already been asked, but let me ask again I have a mysql database to which I connect with my php scripts. The database contains articles. Name, Unit_Price and Reference Now my client needs to order 5 items, click a button and a table with 5 lines and 3 columns appears (until now easy) In the first column is a drop down box with a <select > and <options> in which I store all possible names. I would like than whenever the client changes one of the boxes (in my case there are 5) the Unite_Price column and Reference column in the line he just choose get automatically updated

Form, Type=file And Identifying By Isset()
Windows XP PHP 4.4.2 Apache 2.2 Register_Globals = Off Safe_Mode = On ----------------------- Hi All, I am having a problem getting a file browse input field to be recognized on the next page. Let me show you... page1.php Contains a web form with a file input to attach a file using a browse button. <form method='POST' action='page2.php' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input name='uploadFile1' type='file' id=uploadFile1'> page2.php contains a validator to check the input and perform an action based on whether or not the browse input field has been populated. // IF THE POST CONTAINS A FILE UPLOAD, PROCESS SECTION 1 IF NOT PROCESS SECTION 2. if (isset($_POST['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is attached so print this."; } if (!isset($_POST['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is NOT attached so print this."; } If the user uses the browse button on the form page to populate the field with a file path to a file on his pc, then I expect to see the "File is attached message". However, regardless of whether someone does or does not browse a file, the message is always that they have NOT browsed a file and the variable "uploadFile1" is effectively left unpopulated. OUTPUT File is NOT attached so print this. Conversley, I thought I might be able to use the _FILES variable instead of _POST, but I get the exact opposite, that the browse field is populated all the time whether or not someone has browsed a file or left the browse field blank. if (isset($_FILES['uploadFile1'])) { echo "File is attached so print this."; } if (!isset($_FILES['uploadFile1'])) { OUTPUT File is attached so print this. So, I am missing something. Can someone give me some direction so that I can simply identify (with register_globals = Off) whether or not an input field (input type=file) has been populated or left blank? Is this even possible? What am I missing?

Problem With Dynamic Text Fields
My goal is this: A user logs into the site and is presented with a directory listing (this is done, check). He then clicks on the directory, each which has their own amount of text files within them, and a page loads up presenting either text areas or text fields depending on the type of text file (some only hold one number, others just hold text). The text will already be entered into the text field, so no re-typing will be necessary, and if editing needs to be done, it can be. There is currently a map made in Macromedia Flash which relies directly on these text files to output certain information. I want to be able to alter the text files, and in turn, alter the Macromedia Flash. I understand that all of this can be done easier with databasing, but that's not the goal. A word on the directories and text files: There are the same number of directories as there are buildings on the map. Each building has 2 text files, some have 4 if there are two buildings too close together to tell them apart. The first text file is totalBuildingName.txt, and this holds the number of pictures there are of that building, just one number. The second file holds text, and is just BuildingName.txt, and it holds the description of the building. The main directory where ALL of the PHP files are stored is called final. it then goes up to directories, then up to the building name. So if you're in admissions, the directory is: ./directories/admissions/ As for the code: It all works fine. Of course it doesn't work completely fine, or I wouldn't be posting here. It does everything I want it to do, and possibly more, however, I can't seem to open the text files within the directory. No matter how hard I try. The permissions ARE set on the folders and files, so that shouldn't be an issue, and if placed in the same directory as the text file, fopen can be used to file the text file, and then implode it to print it out. This leads me to believe that $TheFile isn't looking in the right place, but to be honest, I can't figure out what is the correct direction. I'll be extremely thankful to anyone who can point me in the remotely correct direction. Thank you so much.

Update Form Throws "Undefined Index" Error For Unchecked Radio Button Fields On Form

When you submit it, all the fields that have nothing in them, for example an un-selected radio button, throw the error similar to that below. Notice: Undefined index: fld_ONECHOICE in /usr/..../updateFORMFACT.php on line 29 These fields are not required for the form to be completed. Do I HAVE to default all fields to yes/no or some entry? Surely not. Is this just something that shows with error reporting set to E_ALL and I shouldn't worry about it?

Empty Form Fields
I have a simple HTML form, which when submitted I want to check whether he fields have been completed. If everything is complete, I want to process the form....No problem with this bit. If any of the fields are not complete however, I want to indicate this......for example by placing a * character next to the field which is empty i.e. echo "<TR><TD>Username</TD><TD><INPUT TYPE=text NAME=username></TD><TD>*</TD></TR>"; I am guessing that the best way to do this is submit the page to its self, and check for any empty fields, then display the form again. What would be an efficient way of doing this, given that I have to check about 20 fields?

I also need it to grab the values from hidden form fields, is there such a function or class?

Validating Form Fields
I would like to create a php script that can validate all of the required elements in the form. I'm not sure the best way to do this, but I know it's a smart idea to have good validation in place before there is a problem. There are a few pages involved here, and the ACTION tag in the form is sending it to an email delivery script, so it needs to be as error free as possible. In this case would it be smarter to create inlined code that will validate the fields based on an if/else statement before the form is posted? If someone could give me a sample code of what a simple form field validation would look like that would be great. PHP Code:

Validate Form Fields
I'm trying to valide fields in a form which has many pages and each page is its own script. When I test my form by leaving the field blank, I should receive an error message stating Please enter your name. When I click Submit, I do not receive that message after leaving the field blank. I'm not sure if it's because I'm posting to another script. I can't understand why that should matter. I included the code for the first and second page of the form. For easier reading, I am only showing one form field. In the second page of the form, I didn't include any of the form fields since page 2 shouldn't appear until all the fields on page 1 are filled in ....

Keeping Form Fields Set
How can I ensue that if a user does not fill in a certain form field, that when I redirect the user back to the form, that the fields which he had filled in originally are still filled in? I presume that you might have to send the variable back to the form? For example, $email = $_POST['Email']; if (empty($email)) header( "Location: http://www.example.com/form.htm" ); If any other fields were filled out by the user, that data would be lost by reloading the form.htm.

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?

"?field1=something&field2=something else"); That would bee neet. I just would create a string from the contents I receive from the db and just redirect, but as I said, it doesn't work easily. You have to use the apache rewrite, but I didn't quite get it. Another solution is to check if the request is not empty for the particular field.
