PHP:Unable To Post Variables From Html Form To Mysql Database
Plz dont treat this as another newbie query , i did my homework but
still getting nowhere :( :( :(
Trying to learn PHP on Fedora core 1 (PHP 4.3,MySQL,HTTPD).Unable to
post data from html form to php file(connecting to mysql database and
inserting into a table) .
This seemingly simple problem is making me go mad !!! I googled
extensively and already tried the following
I enabled " register_globals = On " .... in /etc/php.ini and
also took used _$POST syntax.
wot could be the problem .... is it the case that /etc/php.ini file is
not being read .... how do i know whether this is the default location
for php.ini?
Where can i find the PHPRC environment variable (the variable
responsible for the php.ini default location)
Is the problem something else .....?
Following is the code ...
form.html
---------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> email entry form </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>plz fil the form </P>
<FORM METHOD="POST" ACTON="form-handler.php">
NAME: <BR>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="givename" SIZE=25> <BR>
AGE: <br>
<INPUT TYPE=TEXT NAME="givenaddress" SIZE=25> <BR>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>
</BODY>
</HTML>
form-handler.php
-----------------
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE> EMAIL FORM HANDLER </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<?
mysql_connect("localhost","root") or die("Failure on db connection");

Post Variables To A URL Without Using An HTML Form
I have an HTML form that I need to submit to a URL which then faxes the information. However I need to format the form variables (using PHP) before posting to the URL. Is there anyway to post variables to a URL without using an HTML form (post method)? I hope I am explaining myself enough: I am new to coding and even newer to PHP.

Form Processing - Variables Posted Into Mysql Database
i am currently building a site that will provide a free e-mail service hosted by bigmailbox.com. i am also providing a community area, where users can sign-up and post messages. i was wondering if there would be a way to combine the form for the e-mail program with the form for the community and add the same username and password to both programs. here's what i would like to do: have one form that would include several different fields. upon submitting the form, i would like for some of the variables to be posted into my mysql database, and other variables (some of the same ones posted to the database) be passed to a cgi script on bigmailbox.com's servers.

Using A Php Html Form With Data Which Is Loaded From A Mysql Database.
I am using a php html form with data which is loaded from a mysql database. Three of the fields are textareas. The data loads into these fields fine, except that the loaded text starts at what appears to be 2 or 3 tab characters to the left. See illustration: +---------<this is a textarea object>---------+ | This is about the way that| |the text loads from the database field. | | | | | +---------------------------------------------+ It's almost as if there's a textarea "align" property which is set to "center" by default unless otherwise explicitly stated. Is there some setting in the wrap property that will fix this, or should I be looking elsewhere?

PHP Not Populating Form Variables Passed Through POST Or GET

Post HTML Form To Excel File On PocketPC?
The PocketPC version of Excel does not create forms, but HTML pages work pretty well. I'm trying to build an HTML form that can be opened on the Pocket PC that will post (or get, as needs be) any data entered (using fancy controls like checkboxes, radio buttons, etc) to a pocket excel file on the same PocketPC. I'd like it to insert new rows into the existing spreadsheet...not just overwrite the file or produce other files. (I already have done php forms that save to a MySQL database when there is wireless available...but the current project is for a more common situation where wireless would not be available and the user would have to sync/email the file to me from an internet-connected computer.)

Form Post To Database Best Practice?
Ok so what I've got going on is a form that is populated by pulling info from database then using php do{} to create elements in form. I have a text box in each table row for the user to enter input. I need to take this user input and put it back into the database. What would be the best method to do this. I can't use a normal post because the name of the text box is the same for each table row. I've heard that posting the variables into the URL is not a good idea if they are going to be inserted into the database. So what is the best method here?

Sending Variables To An HTML Form
I have a form in an html file that sends to a PHP file for processing. The information is properly sent to the PHP file and it is processed and validated. What I want to be able to do is this: If there are errors in the form (found in the PHP validation), send the user back to the HTML form with the form still filled out with the information that the user had entered. I do not want the fields with errors sent back, just the good information. There are two seperate files, the html file and the PHP file.

Form POST To MySQL WHERE

Pre-selecting Options In Html-form According To Database Entry
I've got a html-form consisting - among other fields - of several drop-down-boxes and radio button groups. With this form you should be able to either create a new dataset or to edit an existing one. If the latter is the case, my application should propose values (the ones which are already in the database) and write them into the input-fields. My problem is, it should have the according options pre-selected and the checkboxes checked, and I've no idea how to do this. (Example: I've a dropdown box for languages, and my dataset says the language is English, then in my dropdown box the option "English" should be preselected when this dataset is to be edited).

Importing Html To Mysql Database
I'm preparing to convert my "old" non-dynamic html website to php and mysql. I finally found a mediumly fast way to turn the html pages into raw data, but it has html codes within the content that I want to stay within the database. For example, I have DIV and CLASS codes with quote marks (div id="fred" - p class="red") that I want to stay. I've read through the mysql documentation and understand that I can set the fields-terminated-by, fields-enclosed-by and lines-terminated by with characters, but I can't find which characters are allowed. I also am not sure about doubling the quotes in order to keep them ("") or adding slashes ("), or what. I did a test run with phpmyadmin to add a simple four field test text file to a table I set up with phpmyadmin. I tried changing from the default field separators of ";" to "^" and record ends of "#". Nothing. Code:

Unable To Add To Database Through PHP
I have written a short file called config.php that contains all of the connectivity scripting and also a db_close.php that contains the closing script. These 2 files are used thoughout the pages that I have written, so I know that the connectivity is working fine. Here is the issue. I run a simple mysql query that inserts some values into a table. After submiting the values, the script continues as if the values have been added properly, but in fact they haven't been added at all. My problem is that I do not know why it isn't being added because it return NO error in this process. Am I supposed to add some code that returns the mysql errors? Below is the line that adds the field. If this is supposed to be posted in the MySQL forum, please move it.

How To Populate HTML Form From PHP/MySQL
I have found many examples of how to access an HTML text field from PHP, but cannot find the reverse - how to load an HTML form from a MySQL database. Specifically, I have an HTML form which contains several text boxes that correspond to the fields in a MySQL file. What I want to do is call a PHP form that reads one record from MySQL and then populates all of the HTML fields on the calling form. The call to MySQL is not a problem - that works and I can use "Echo" to verify that I have successfully read a record. Now, how do I get that data back into the original HTML form?

Assigning Form Variables In MySQL Query
I have made a website for a local college with a MySQL database of available courses. I want users to be able to search for courses by region. So far, I have created a drop-down box of options in a html form - and a handle_form page to handle the form. My problem is that I can't link the variable created from the form with the MySQL query. The relevant php code from the handle_form page is as follows: $var = ($_POST['region']); //retrieve the variable using superglobals require_once ('mysql_connect.php'); // Connect to the db. // Make the query. $query = 'SELECT * FROM Test WHERE Region ='west''; $rt = @mysql_query ($query); // Run the query. while($nt=mysql_fetch_array($rt)){ echo "Branch: $nt[Branch]"; } I want to replace the 'west' condition with $var so users can see the branches in the selected region - but I don't know how! Not sure if it is simple sytnax I require or to rewrite the query. Have just spent two days trying syntax variations and trawling internet for example scripts but no luck.
