Insert Processes Before Form Is Submitted
I am trying to stop using Macromedia as my crutch and you guys have been a big help. I need some assistance with submitting a form. I have a form on my page and need to do an insert. I have the action posting it back to the same page I am on versus sending it to an insert page. The problem I am having is it trys to do the insert as soon as I pull up the page instead of waiting till the form is submitted. I believe I need to do something with isset, but can't really find a tutorial that goes over it really well. Code:

Get The Name Of A Submitted Form
how can I check the name of a submitted form? I have several links using the get methos, but also a form using get and I want to be able to check if GET is set and it's been set by the form. I would usually use hidden inputs, but they obviously don't work for get forms.

Submitted A Certain Form
I basically just need something that will, in an admin section of the site, tell how many times a certain form has been submitted. It's basically for a lead-generation counter for a real estate broker. The form would be something people would fill out to go into a home finding section, therefore, the broker could see how many leads were generated based on how many people filled out the form.

How Do I Check If A Form Is Being Submitted?
I have a PHP code that checks if a form button has been clicked: if (isset($save)){... <input type="submit" name="save" value="Check the results..."> Upon clicking the button a PHP code runs that saves stuff to a MySQL db. The thing I'm doing is that I'm submitting the form with this code in a java script: aForm.submit(); This javascript is triggered by other user input and I do Not want to force the user to press any additional buttons to submit the form. How can I make the PHP code run when submitting a form instead of a button? = I want to submit the form but After I've run my PHP code and saved my data to the db.

Check If Form Is Submitted
I am using PHP to generate a form that submits to $PHP_SELF. The first time the script executes is should only create a data entry form based upon a MySQL "DESCRIBE table" statement. When submitted, the script will insert the form's data into a table using an INSERT INTO statement. I need a way to determine if the script should DESCRIBE and generate the form or instead INSERT the submitted data into a table. In the past I used a hidden field with name=submitted value=true and checked for that to determine if script should DESCRIBE or INSERT. However in this case I want to simply get the name/values from the HTTP header and INSERT them into the table. Form element names correspond to the desired table field names. Having the hidden field requires me to filter out the unwanted data. (I guess I need to submit the table name inorder to know which table to insert into, so there is atleast one required hidden field that is not part of the actual data to insert.)

Submitted Form Just Shows Itself
I have a form i will use to register new people and when I click the submit button, the form just shows itself. It is supposed to show a message showing field errors if you leave fields blank etc. so submitting the empty form should show error message in red , then show form, but all it does is show form. I checked the variable to make shore they ere ok and they are fine. i believe it is a logical error with my if else.... I eved modularized everything by using functions and the same results. if any one sees the logical error, let me know. Here the code: <?php function showmessage() { // Check to make sure they entered a valid email address. if (eregi("^([[:alnum:]]|_|.|-)+@([[:alnum:]]|.|-)+(.)([a-z]{2,4})$", $HTTP_POST_VARS['emailfield'])) { $d = TRUE; } else { $d = FALSE; $message1[] = "The email address you entered is not valid."; } return; } function checkfields(){ $year = $HTTP_POST_VARS['yearfield']; $month = $HTTP_POST_VARS['monthfield']; $day = $HTTP_POST_VARS['dayfield']; $dobfield = $year.$month.$day; // Check the last name. if (eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|')+$", $HTTP_POST_VARS['usernamefield'])) { $a = TRUE; } else { $a = FALSE; $message1[] = "Please enter a correct username. I.e; EricDerouen that consists only of letters."; } // Check the first name. if (eregi ("^([[:alpha:]]|-|')+$", $HTTP_POST_VARS['firstnamefield'])) { $b = TRUE; } else { $b = FALSE; $message1[] = "Please enter a First Name that consists only of letters."; }

Form Submission - Is There A Way To Tell If It's Been Submitted?
I'm using a combination of php and javascript and want to know if there's a way to check for submitted information if there's no submit button? My javascript gathers information and essentially passes it to another form that consists of nothing more than the <form> tags. It's this <form> that then passes information to PHP for processing. Is there a way to tell if it's been submitted?

User Submitted Form Into Array
Ok, here is my dilema. I have a very long form, and I want to take the submitted info and place it into an array for later use.

Why Php Doesn't Transfer Variable Submitted By Web Form?
I had previously installed php-4.3.9 and apache-2.0.49 on my solaris9 server and written a php script for user login, it ran well until today... today for some reasons I upgraded php to php-5.1.2, complied as apache's DSO module, and I found the script couldn't work when being accessed by IE. I didn't know why...It seemed php script hadn't transfered variables submmitted by web form to itself...now the following is my script: <?php if ($queryflag == 1) { $ybn="admin"; $ybp="111"; $ybusername=$_POST["username"]; $ybuserpwd=$_POST["password"]; if ($ybusername==$ybn AND $ybuserpwd==$ybp){ session_start(); $_SESSION["admin"]=true; header("location: testtest.php"); } else { echo <<<EOM <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"> <title>login</title> <style type="text/css"> <!-- ..style5 {font-size: 24px} ..style6 { font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif; color: #FF0000; } ..style7 { font-size: 14px; color: #FF0000; } --> </style> </head>

Get The Option Selected Once I Have Submitted The Form.
I am using the following code to loop 12 months backwards from the current month in a drop down list - using the get method. I'm having difficulties trying to get the option selected once I have submitted the form. For example, I am using this to filter months, so once a month has been selected and submitted, the first option in my drop down list is displayed and not the one that was selected and submitted. So basically, I need to be able to select a month > hit submit and when the form returns, have the drop down list show me the selected item. Code:

20 Titles Which Is Inserted In A Form And Submitted.
I have 20 titles which is inserted in a form and submitted. The names of the input fields are Title1, Title2, Title3 and so on. When I get them after submitting I do like this: $title1=$_POST[Title1']; $title2=$_POST[Title2']; $title3=$_POST[Title3']; But now I'm trying to do it with a FOR LOOP so I don't have to make 20 lines. But it doesn't work. I can't get the $num behind the POST['Title $num=0; for ($i=1; $i<=20; $i++){ $num=$num+1; ${'title' . $num}=$_POST['Title???']; } So how do I get the $num behind Title ?

Pull The Value From The Square Brackets Once The Form Is Submitted?
I just have a few questions regarding PHP arrays. First of all, is it possible to have the value inside the square brackets include non-numeric characters? For example, something like delete[A25]. If so, can I then include a variable inside the square brackets, such as delete[$id]? Finally, is it possible to pull the value from the square brackets once the form is submitted? Therefore get both the value of the whole variable itself, and the variable inside the brackets [$id]?

Creating A Form That Once Submitted Displays A Tabled Output
I have a form that I am trying to create that ideally will present a desired output based on the selections of the form. The following is an example of the dataset I am pulling from: I am trying to: 1. Have a drop-down selectable to select a start date. 2. Have another drop-down selectable to select a stop date. 3. Have radio buttons to select which datas I wish to view for the range set by steps 1 and 2. Example is nodes_available, nodes busy, one, both, or all. 4. Have the ability to select the interval of minute, hour, or day. Once the form variables are selected, then it is submitted with the desired results displayed in a table on another page. Ideally this output will eventually find its output displayed in some type of graph form, but at the moment I am trying to atleast achieve the desired outcome.

Stranded PHP Processes And ProcessExplorer
Does anyone know what it means if I see PHP processes in the process tree at the base level, instead of under the IIS worker process? I do nothing but web serving off of the box. These processes that are not under the IIS worker process seem to be stranded/hung. They are never cleaned up by any garbage collection and I have to kill them manually. They also always have a fairly low memory usage, potentially indicating that they fail before loading completely. Could it be that the execution of the process fails early enough that ProcessExplorer doesn't see them as being executed by IIS?
