PHP :: PHP Displaying Info Input On HTML Form

Getting The File Path From A Html Form Input
I want to get the file path from a file input field, not just the filename. I don't have to necesarily use the input of type 'file', but that is the only way i know how to have a browse button.I tried using javascript to fetch the content of the file with this function:

function GetDirectory(){
   strFile = document.FileForm.filename.value;
   intPos = strFile.lastIndexOf("");
   strDirectory = strFile.substring(0, intPos);
   alert(strDirectory);}

but i don't know how to pass the javascript variable to the php.

Displaying Variables In Html Form
Below i have a form which i want to be filled with variables sent from the last page. can anyone tell me why the variables are not showing - I think its something to do with the syntax of the php inside the html form Code:

Displaying A Html Form With Php Echo
I a have a form for users to enter details. Before the form is shown the user enters a number of values they need to enter.

So the amount the user enters first is the anount of rows the user is given to enter there details. To do this iv used a while loop and a $count variable.

My problem is with echoing the form. I must be doing it in a completly non standard way as allthough firefox displays it perfectely ie doesnt display it at all. Code:

Detecting URL's And Html Tags In Text, Input From Form
Is it possible to check text and set a PHP variable if someone inputs links, <h1></h1> ect. and other html tags when filling out your form mail or guestbooks?

Use Cookies To Save Info On What The User Enter Last Time In A Input?
I am having some trouble looking for a good tutorial on cookies and how to have them save what you last time entered in the form. So how can I do this so users don't have to renter everything the next time they try to post something on my site?

Displaying Info From User's Field In Numbers
in a loop, what would i use to like, if ina field a user has say 4 'f's (ffff) and i want it to display, You Have: 4 f(s)! but theres gonna be like, lets say the whole alphabet in there, and she can get a new 'f' every minute if she wanted...so anyone have suggestions? and in this table im haveing i have 3 fields, owner(the user) id(the letternumber) and name(the letter itself)

Displaying Text Fields On User Input
How would I echo a particular amount of text fields depending on how many the user selects from a drop down menu that I have already created. For example say the user selects 4 or whatever other number from a drop down menu how would I echo 4 or whatever the amount of text fields for a user to input text into? An example would be an airline website were you select how many people are travelling and then it echo fields for those people to enter their names.

Validating Html Input
I'm trying to set up a system that would allow users to write html in textareas. The porblem is that when coming out of the database and getting slapped on an unsuspecting dynamicly generated page, an open anchor tag can do a number on the site. I need to find a script to validate the HTML any ideas?

Decode Html Input String
Probably not the correct words in the subject but I'll try to explain. I have software in c++ that sends data to a php file on my website. I have all the connections in place since it echoes back an ok to my code. Problem is the data portion is not being read by the php. I dont know how to reference it. Code:

Format Of HTML GET And Input Type Image
I am trying to achieve something very simple (I think), but hitting hurdles with HTML code. My current code:

form method = "GET" action="http://abc.test.com/register" >
<input type="image" name= "val" value="foobar" src="elements/epayments.gif"
style="width:168px" >
</form>

And the idea is that when I click the (image) button, I want it to invoke:

http://abc.test.com/register?val=foorbar.

Passing HTML In Hidden Input Field
I just wanted to take a poll to see what the best way to pass a chunk of text containing HTML in a hidden input form element would be. I'm trying to pass the text from one page to another to another in a content management scenario, but the whole thing breaks down when HTML enters the picture. On the page where the value is pulled from the database into a textbox, I'm using:

<?
<textarea cols="45" rows="10" name="blurb">".$blurb."</textarea>
?>

On the next page, the user can review the code displayed as plain text using:

<?
echo(nl2br($blurb));
?>

There are no problems so far. But at the bottom of that page in the form that will pass the variables on to the script that will write the final changes to the database, everything falls apart when HTML comes into play.

<input type="Hidden" name="blurb" id="blurb" value="<? echo $blurb; ?>">

This line made everything fall apart when I put an anchor tag into the text. The closing > made it think the tag itself had closed, and the link text started printing to the screen.

So, what's the best way to handle situations like this. Would I use htmlentities() to get it to the database writing script and the use html_entity_decode() when actually passing the values into the db? Or is there a more sublime solution?

Php Form Info...
have a form, with a text input "fieldname".
method POST

$var = $_POST["fieldname"]

$var is then used to search in mysql

select * from table where jobtype like '$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var%'
OR jobtype like '%$var'
OR jobtype like '$var' order by date asc;

basically i'm doing a search for any string that matches the searched
input, being at the beginning, middle or end of the jobtype column.

query works great, except when the string contains the 4-letter word
'info' such as information or informative
then the mysql query breaks down and give the usual:

Error performing query: You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the
manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right
syntax to use near 'ORDER BY date ASC' at line 1

Now after much debugging, i found out that the php _POST variable
treats anything with info as a numner of 0 value.
inf is treated as text, nformation is treated as text, but anything
with info gets a 0 value.

Searched php.net and couldn't find anything related to this feature,
looked under security to see if it was related to that, but nothing.

PHP Displaying Html
I have gotten quite a few small scripts to work so far but now that I'm trying bigger and bigger things I keep hitting a snag that I can't seem to find the answer to.

I will either use include() or simply write in the html code for the script to display, but all i get when the script runs is a blank white page. When i view the source of that page all it is is an html tag, head tags, and body tags with nothing between the opener and closer. I've tried everything i can think of to fix the problem and sometimes it pops up and sometimes it doesn't and I can't see the difference in my code that is making this happen.

Displaying Php In Html
I have a php search engine script, it works fine and gets results from a mysql database.

I was displaying the results in my html pages by way of server side parsing using php include. For some unknown reason after one year of faultless operation (I did not alter anything) it began to parse my results incorrectly. It would parse the wrong id number for data entries. For example it should have displayed id=3456, instead displayed id=17500 which did not exist.

I gave up trying to solve this problem and used an iframe to display the php search results. But I have been advised that many visitors could have disabled the display of iframes (iframes are being used to inject malware into visitors computers so more and more they will be blocked) into the browser.

Is there any other option to get my php script results to display in my html pages?, could I use javascript to display the results of my php script?

Displaying PHP In HTML
I have a login.php, members.php and members.html. Right now, if you login successfully you are taken to members.php. I want to display the users name upon successful login. I can do this in members.php, however I want to display it in members.html (because in HTML pages I can make layout tables/cells). I store the users first name (f_name) and last name (l_name) in session variables with the following code (from login.php):

Getting Info Out Of Dynamic Form
I am using the following code to produce a dynamic form.

$result = mysql_query("SELECT id,weight,date FROM weekly_data WHERE
weight IS NULL AND subscr_id = '$toss' AND date <= now()");
if (!$result) {
die('Invalid query: ' . mysql_error());
}
print"<table width=ï`%' id='catchup' border=Ɔ' cellspacing=Ɔ'
cellpadding=Ɔ'>";
print "<form name='form1' id='form1' method='post'
action='catchupprocess.php'>";
print"<tr>";
print"<td></td>";
print"<td>Weight</td>";
print"<td>Date</td>";
print"<td>Waist</td>";
print"<td>Measure</td>";
print"<td></td>";
print"</tr>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array ($result)){
//echo $result;
print"<tr>";
print"<td>";
print"<input name='".$row['id']."' size=Ɗ' type='text'
value='".$row['id']."'/>";
print"</td><td>";
print"<input type='text' size=ƌ' name='weight".$row['id']."'

value='Submit'></td>";
print"<td> </td>";
print"</tr>";
print"</form>";
print"</table>";
?>

Persistent Form Info
I have some forms that have different parts, and it decides which parts to display through the url ie form.php?showpart=1, showpart=2, etc. If I want to show another part and change the url all the form info goes away. I'm a self taught PHP guy, I'm decent but not amazing. My current solution is to use AJAX to write/modify a cookie everytime the user writes something and bring that in when they change the page. Is there an easier way?

Printing Out Info From A Form
I have this php function that reads a text file for input to create a form. I am trying to get the form to print out the data on a separate page, but all I get is a blank page. Am I calling the page correctly, or is this even possible to do? Code:

Displaying Data In Php - Like HTML?
How do I display data from MYSQL in PHP in an attractive and structured table(HTML) format? For example: I want my database to display all the reviews of a particular movie(like metacritic.com) like this: Code:

Displaying A HTML Table With PHP
I'm new to PHP and I'm trying to get my head around databases at the moment. So far I have a page that kinda takes the mickey and takes a few details from you, it then creates a cookie that can be removed later. It also prompts you to add the data you gave to a database.

All this works perfectly, but when it comes to displaying the results of the database, all I can show is the first entry in the table. Can someone please tell me how I'm supposed to see all of them?

I've read other articles but they don't make much sense to me.

BTW, the database details are as follows:

Database name: visualanteorg
Table name: people
Fields: id, name, shoe_size, job

As you will see if you choose to look at the pages, getting the information out is not a problem, it's just formatting it how I want it, so each entry appears under the other in the table.

Displaying File Path In File Input Field
i have file input field in a form like this:
<input name="isbn" type="text" size="25" value="<?php echo
$_POST['isbn'] ?>" />
<input name="image" type="file" size="25" value="<?php echo
$_FILES['image']['name'] ?>" />

when i press "submit" button, the same page gets loaded... if my
$_POST['isbn'] is empty, i want to have the file path on "file input
field" to redisplay on that same field... it's possible in text input
field but i don't know of a way to do it in file input fields...

Cleaning User Input (Removing HTML/stripping Slashes Etc...)
How can I remove HTML and add slashes to a variable?

I know I can add slashes with addslashes($var); but I need to know how to remove all HTML at the same time. Also - Are there any other characters I should strip from the variable (it will be stored in a database and displayed on a web page).

Referer And Keyword Info Sent Via Form?
I've learned that HTTP_REFERRER, at least in my tests, returns the page visted on the current domain before the form page, not the domain visited before the current domain, so that hasn't been useful. I don't know how I would get keywords in this case. I've searched around for scripts or tutorials and have been surprised to find nothing helpful

The site in question has a separate stats package, but it doesn't track converting keywords and that's really what I'm after. There isn't high volume traffic, so getting them individually via a form (rather than input into a database) isn't a problem.

My question is really whether what I'm trying to do is possible with a few lines of code, or have I underestimated the complexity of the task?

Populating A Form Wth Database Info
I've coded a piece of code which populates a form with data read from the database:

$connection=mysql_connec ("localhost", "f2821842", "f2821842");
$result=mysql_select_db("QUERIES");
$query=mysql_query("Select * from Emp_Details where emp_num = '$employnum'");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query))
{$empname=$row['emp_name'];}

<form name="webregform" action="webadmin2.php" method="post">
<input name="requiredname" type="text" size="30" value="<?php echo "$empname"; ?>">
</form>

When I echo the $requiredname, I get spaces and no data, and I know that $empname is not a space-it does read a value in a database. 1. How can I get $requiredname to print a value?

Insert Form Info Into Database
i am trying to enter info from a form into a mysql database. when i submit the form, a new row is created, but the information isn't contained in it? any thoughts? PHP Code:

Filling Form With Database Info
I have a table with 5 fields for a tour business activity list
: (1) id -table key (2) name (3)description (4)picture -text link not
binary(5) country. I would like to create a form that takes all the
activitys an puts it neatly down on site in checkboxes so user can
select activtys.this will be linked to form mail.i would like the
activitys to be seperated by the country they r in?

Some Users Can't Enter Info Through My Form To My DB
I set up a comment page on my site and most users can enter comments. the page refreshes and shows the comments below. however, some users can't enter comments. what should I be looking for to resolve this?

Displaying Text/html In Web POP Email
is it possible that message from web POP mail ( through sockets) appears as html (or text) if it is sent as html, not to appear like source file of the html document? I use web POP mail which is not mine and it displays without problem emails sent as text/plain but shows complete source with all tags if the email is sent as text/html, in other words, it´s useless and very hard to read for user.

Displaying Data In Html Table.
I wondered if anyone could offer some guidance, I trying to write a
php script to connect to a database, and display the records in a
table.

I found the code here in a php4 text, and when I run this directly
through the php intrupeter, the line Successfully connected is display
and 4 as the number of rows.

The database table we connect to, has three field username, firstname,
surname.

When I tried a while loop, to display the data in a table. No values
were displayed.

Could anyone possibly demonstrate how to display the username,
firstname, surname values in a basic table?

<?php
function db_connect(){
global $MYSQL_ERRNO, $MYSQL_ERROR;

$link_id = mysql_connect("localhost","user04", "password04");

if(!$link_id){
$MYSQL_ERROR = "Connection failed";
return 0;
}
else if(empty($dbname) && !mysql_select_db("database04")){
$MYSQL_ERROR = mysql_error();
return 0;
}
else return $link_id;
}

!$link_id = db_connect();
if(!$link_id) die(error_message('Error connecting'));

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
if(!$result) error_message('Error in selection');
else echo "Successfully connected. ";

$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$total_records = $query_data[0];

if(!$total_records) error_message('No records');
else echo "$total_records.";
?>

Input Form
First question:

I have an input form that upon pressing a button validates the values
entered into this form. I am using the following code recall this form if
there is an error in one of the requested fields:

<form name="form1" method="post" action= "InputForm.php" >

All works fine. However, if there is an error and this form is recalled, all
the fields are blanked out when you are brought back to the form. I'd like
for the form to retain the values that had been entered. How do I do this?

Second question:

For the fields that are in error, I'd like for the titles for the fields to
display an asterisk and change the text to red. Have any of you done this
and if so how do you implement it?

Input Form With Same Name
I have a problem with a form that it has of the input with the same
name: I cannot modify code HTML inserting [ ], in the variable $_POST
is always a single value, like I can recover also the others?

Input Form
I'm trying to set up an input form so when I enter information using the input form the info I type in is sent to another page and placed in a table. That I already have set up but when I hit the refresh button the data in the table is erased. Code:

Put Block Of Html Page Lookup Numbers Into Search Script Input
My web pages have alpha numeric lookup codes. Currently, the user has to copy the numbers and paste the numbers into a search box and click on the query button. Is there any way, other than turning the block into html hyperlinks, of getting the lookup codes into a php form input box or text box and initiating the search without copying and pasting?

Example:
pen 124:22 ; joyce 3:1 ; twice 888888:1233 ; rip 999:777

Validating Form Info Before Inserting It Into Database
I have been trying to create a PHP application where you can add customer contacts to a MySQL database.

Now, my problem began when I created a form where the user can add in a customer's name and info to the database. In an effort to alert the user that they may be adding a customer that is already setup in the database, knowing that some of the customers may have the same names, e.g. there is more than one Bobby Ray Brown, I decided to add a script that queries the "customers" table in the database and searches for all results that match the input from the user. Code:

Getting Form Info Into A Mysql Select Statement
I'd like to get user input from an html form into a mysql select
statement. Here's where I'm stumped:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%search-string%'",$db);

I need to get the user's input into the '%search-string%' section, but I
do not understand how to do this. I can hard-code a specific search
string and it will work, but I want the users to be able to dynamically
define the search-string. So, I created a basic html form and used the
post method to grab their input, but now I can't insert that input into
the mysql select statement. Any ideas? I think it should be easy, I just
don't know how to do it. I've tried this:

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%$_POST["search"]%'",$db);

But it doesn't work. Below is the form in html and the php file:

<html>
<title>Search Test</title>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<form action="search-db.php" method="POST">
<p>Enter Your Search: <input type=text name=search></p>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>
-----------------------------------------------------------
<html>
<body>
<?php
$db = mysql_connect("localhost", "Anonymous");
mysql_select_db("computers",$db);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM dept WHERE notes LIKE
'%surplus%'",$db);
echo "<table border=1>
";
while ($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
printf("<tr><td><b>%s</b></td></tr>
", $myrow[notes]);
}
echo "</table>
";
?>
</body>
</html>

Upload And Email Form Info At The Same Time
I need to upload something and also have an email sent at the same time after filling out a form. So they will fill out a form, decide what they want to upload and then hit the submit button and it will upload the file to my directory, where I can get to it, and then it will also email me the information I had them fill out in the form at the same time. Is that possible? What code would I use?

Taking Info From A Form, Saving It In A DB And Writing It To A .css

Formated Email Displaying HTML Code
I'm sending formatted emails that normally work fine, using the following header:

MIME-Version: 1.0

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

From: John Cook <jfoc@sev.com.au>

However, one person I send it to (unfortunately, the client I'm actually designing this email for) sees it as HTML code, no formatting. She does use MailMarshal, an email content filter. And the header in the returned email contained these lines:

X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it with any abuse report
X-AntiAbuse: Primary Hostname - elaine.networkeleven.net
X-AntiAbuse: Original Domain - hartleyfamilylaw.com.au
X-AntiAbuse: Originator/Caller UID/GID - [99 99] / [0 0]
X-AntiAbuse: Sender Address Domain - elaine.networkeleven.net

My question - would an email filter block HTML formatting? Should I do my header differently?

Displaying Html Code On PHP Generated Page
I am trying to create a link page in my php application. this is a page that will display a block of html code that a visitor can copy and paste into their web site to create a link back to mine. My PHP page has a line in it like this:

define('TEXT_INFORMATION', '<html page code is here>');

I have added the html code to create the page as noted above. the page contains a same of the banner image file and the html code that goes alon with it. My problem is that I haven't been able to "quote" the html code so that ir will not be executed.

every time I try to run the application from my web server my page will display two copies of the banner iimage not on banner image and text block like it should. Any suggestions?

Form Input Must Be Multiples Of...
I am trying to make an order form and i want to make sure the quantity input is in multiples of 20. I don't want to use a drop-down box because the range can be 0-1000. Is there a function that will return whether a value is an integer?

Capturing Input From A Form
I currently have a search form on my website. When you type something in, it redirects you to a page that displays the results. I would also like the users searches to get input into an access database at the same time.

How would I do this?

Form Input Into Arrays?
When passing form inputs to another php page, I know that a form field named field1 will pass the value to the next page in a variable named $field1.

However, is it possible to pass the field directly into an array? I ask this, because my forms are generated dynamically, and each form field is numbered - so I would like to pass the values into the appropriately numbered slot in the array for the next page.

Checking Form Input
Well i've eventually manage to get a comments system working on my site, adding information etc. however i want to add a few saftey precausions.

I.e prevent use of HTML commands been enterend into a comment or holding down a single key, that can often lead to tables been pushed out of size, thus messing up the site. i have been using a function that strips out swear words, this works fine, I included an option to remove HTML etc... using PHP Code:

Formatting Form Input
I have a simple lweblog that I made for a website using php and mysql but I noticed that what I enter in the form is not what gets outputted. I want to have returns and spaces and and things like that. Does anyone know where a good place to learn how to do something like this? Or maybe tell me what to put in my code?

Capturing Form Input
I will try to be short and to the point.(good Luck) I have a form
written in HTML. I have a Mysql database. I am using a linux server
and I would like to use php to write the following code:

After the user inputs their name, address, email, phone, etc. in my
html form. They will hit the submit button. I need for the information
they entered to go into my database.

I have looked now for about 12 hours and haven't been able to find an
answer. I know I must be missing something since I've been to the w3
site, codewalkers, phpfreaks,php.net(?), and many more.

If there is an easier way of doing this I would love to hear it.

If somene could point me in the right direction I could stop banging
my head and pulling my hair.

Capitalization Of Web Form Input
I'm using PHP to submit form input to MySQL and need a way to
capitalize the first character for certain fields. Does anyone know of
some way to achieve this?

Plus Minus Form Input Box
Can any one help me with a script that will increase or decrease the value in a form input box each time either a plus or minus charachter is clicked on?

Much like what you would have in a shopping cart, a form input box with say a number 1 default in it, you will have a + and - charaters next to the box and if you click on the + the number in the box will increment 1 and if you click on - it will decrement 1.

PHP Displaying Info Input On HTML Form
