PHP :: POST To Mysql Database And Email Results?

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>

mysql_connect("localhost","root") or die("Failure on db connection");

mysql_select_db("mydb");

Cache Post Method With Php (search Results)
when you're searching and you click away from the resulting hits page and want to come back, you might get this messae:
data has expired from post method .. blah-blah ..

could be annoying, because if the pages use sessions the soulution that U'd think of doesn't seem to work, but instead U got2 use this line:

session_cache_limiter('private, must-revalidate');

(cuortesy (borrowed it from) of php.net, users contributed section at headers) that person sais the "must revalidate" part is crucial .

Email Form Results
I have a form and I need the results emailed to me how would I be able to do this.

Form Results To Email
Im very new to PHP and so this might seem like childsplay to some people.

Ive got a form on a web page, with different fields.

When the user clicks on submit, I want the fields that they have filled in, to be emailed to me with the structure of the form.

The purpose of the form is so that the users of my site can submit written articles to my email.

Email Form Results?
how i to email php form results so i looked it up and i have got pretty far but i am stuck my code doesn't seem to work properly. Code:

Secure Form Results Sent Via Email
I have a client who does not want a cart but instead wants a form to send him an order with credit card information included. The form is PHP and at present just drops an email on the owners mail server that's insecure. In my limited experience https wouldn't give security here, and if not what whould?

Form Results To Email Especially Checkboxes ?
Does anyone know of a simple script that will send the results of a form to email that works with checkboxes. I've seen a lot of scripts that'll send basic form inputs direct to email but none seemto work with checkboxes/radio buttons.

I have got a script I'm using that works but I have to edit all the script for each checkbox and unfortunately my forms have lots of checkboxes. At the moment I use this routine for checkboxes #lineup=one of the checkbox names

$MailBody .= "lineup: ";
$items = 2; //initiate possible # of items
for ($i = 1; $i <= $items; $i++)
$MailBody .= "$lineup[$i] ;
"; //put results in variable MailBody

but don't know if it could be included in some script to do all without a separate entry for each form field.

How To Make A 'select' Tag Post By Email
I'm very new to PHP, it's not something I intend to specialise in either. But I use php for my contact forms.

In the past i've always used 'input' and 'textarea' form objects and my contact forms have worked fine.

Now though, I want to use a select, like this:

Sending Form Results To An AOL Email Account.
I have the following:

$msgtxt = "$message";
$header = "To: ".$friend."";
$header .= "From: ".$you."";
$mailresult = @mail("",$subject,$msgtxt,$header);

And AOL users do not receive the message. Does anyone know why?

Email Form Does Not Submit Data In Post Method
I have an email which contains a whole form to be submitted to the php code.
When I use get method, it works properly, but when I make it to POST method, it does not work. Also, same HTML code as an pure HTML page works properly for POST method.
What can be the problem? How can I make the email to submit the data through POST method?
My HTML code for email :

====
<form name="form1" method="post" action="getSurvey.php" target="_blank">
====
My php code :
====
reset ($HTTP_POST_VARS);
while (list ($key, $val) = each ($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {

If I have a customers database and wanted to automastically create and post
an email from a local computer to each customer of the same content - can I
do it in PHP? If affirmative which functions should I consider?

PHP Won't Post To Database
I really am a novice and found a script on webmonkey. Basically all I want
to do is to add records to my database. In my database I have a table called
research_main with the fields already created.

I have tried to bodge a script to work for me. it doesn't. It looks as
though it works but I get no data posted. What have I done wrong?

If you want me to put a statement in anywhere to check something please let
me know where you want me to put it as I really am useless with this.

can you tell me what is wrong with this script.

:-( I am trying honest

Grab Email Addresses From MySQL And Send An Email....
I am making a simple mail form that will SELECT email address from a MySQL table based on the userid of the person sending the email.

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
require('../database.php');
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM emailList WHERE merchantId = '".$_SESSION['id']."'") or die(mysql_error());

What would be the most efficient way of storing the email addresses from MySQL (may be 1 or may be 100) and then sending them in BCC to all the people gathered from the MySQL table?

Having Trouble Alphabetizing Results From A My SQL Database
I'm a beginner and I'm having trouble figuring out the sort command (assuming that's what I'll need to alphabetize my results from a database.) Any helpful input is welcome.

Grouping Database Results In Pagination
I'm dealing with a situation where I can potentially have over 3000
results to display from a database. I'm successfully paginating the
results, 10 at a time, but don't want to display 300+ page links at the
bottom.

How can I group the pages to show, for example, the first 10 pages,
followed by a "next 10" link?

i.e., Page: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 > >> Next 10

My current code:

Sorting Database Query Results
I want to know if it is possible to sort query results so that the records with a value in a certain field is displayed first and the records with the field empty thereafter.

Showing Image With Database Results
I am trying to retrieve data from a MySQL database and have got it working. Only thing is I would also like to display an image for each row. Each record has a file number and the images are all saved in an image folder and are named with the actual file number.

EG there is a record with file number 1111 and there is an image called 1111.gif in the images folder. I have included my code below. If someone can tell me how to include some html code to show the image in my php code. Code:

Problem Retrieving Results From Database
I'm trying to retrieve fields from my database with following mysql
statement:

$query = SELECT g_games.Title FROM g_collections, g_personal_reviews,
g_games WHERE (g_games.ID=g_personal_reviews.G_ID AND
g_collections.U_ID = '" . $data1['ID'] . "' AND g_personal_reviews.C_ID
= '" . $data2['ID'] . "' ) ";
$resultset = mysql_query($query);
$data = mysql_fetch_array($resultset);

3 Rows in my database comply with the above statement... though I only
get 1 to show up on my php page? How can I show all of them?

This is the php code I'm using to write the results:

while ($data= mysql_fetch_array($resultset))
{
echo $data[Title]." ";
}

My tables are as followed:
g_games
g_collections
g_personal_reviews > this table connects all others with G_ID ("game
ID"), C_ID ("Collection_ID"), U_ID ("User ID)...
users

Putting Database Results In A 5x1 Table
I have a db of tens of thousands of entries. It's not too hard to pull
all the entries and build a table that displays them one at a time, but
in my case, that will be a huge waste of space. What I want to do is
put one record in each of the columns. I thinks it's possible to do
because I have seen very elaborate thumbnail gallery scripts to do this.
I just want to be able to put two or three strings of text from each
record into each row, and a checkbox. Here's sample of what I mean:

<table width="76%" border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
<tr>
<td>$record1Line1<br>$record1$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record1checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record2Line1<br>$record2$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record2checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record3Line1<br>$record3$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record4Line1<br>$record4$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record3checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
<td>$record5Line1<br>$record5$Line2<br>
<input type="checkbox" name="$record5checkbox" value="checkbox"></td>
</tr>
</table>

I want to pull about 200 records at a time from the db and display as
described above. How can I tell php to take five records from my result
set and display above, then loop through the result set until I'm done?

Filtering Results By DATE Value In Database
I have this code in my page for displaying some data from a database, sorted by date. i had posted a messed up version of this a while ago but I couldnt get it working even after a few suggestions. PHP Code:

Populating A Drop Box With Results From Database
I have a MySQL database with a table (category) with two fields, catId (int) and category (char(50)). What I want to do is to get all category names in this database and place all of them into a dropdown box on a web page so that the user can choose from the list of available categories.

Displaying Database And Getting Unwanted Results...
I want to display everyone in the database, but only if the 'level' field is larger than 0. Well, this works fine for most of the database... but if the last entry in the database is 0, then it prints it anyways.

Is there anyway around this? I tried adding an if statement before the last bit where I echo out the table rows, but it was killing the entire table, or still showing the same results. Code:

Function To Fetch Database Results
I have a function that is supposed to fetch all the results from my table "games". There are two database records in that table. My function is supposed to display all of the records, but it only displays one. I also use a function to display a certain template. Here is the coding for both functions and my index. Code:

Displaying Results From Database In A Particular Format
How do I display results from a database in a particular format. For example the following text in this format including the lines in stored in the database:

Quote“Hello,

Welcome to the news for 11/06/07.

Thanks”
When I echo the results using the usual, <? echo $row_news[‘news’]; ?> it doesn’t echo the information in the database in the format it is stored for example it will display like this. Quote“Hello, Welcome to the news for 11/06/07. Thanks” How do I get it to display in the format it in displayed in the database?

Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
For example, when I do a database search for a term I get 2 results but the $num_rows says there are 3 results.

I suspect it's because there are similar keywords within different search fields of the SQL statement. But I am stumped as to how I can change this. Any Suggestions? the code:

Putting POST Variable Into Database
The problem is getting a certain post variable from a form into a database. I'm submitting all the variables into a mysql database, but one of the variables does not show up in the database ($vote). Why oh why do the contents of the $vote variable not get into the database? Code:

Display Results From A Database On Multiple Pages
I am new to PHP and Mysql but am really determined to learn these techniques. I have some script that reads and displays results from the databse onto a page. However, I really wish to limit the number of results that are displayed to 10 per page and then have the next/privious links under the results. With these results, the results under the email field should be hyperlinked so that the person viewing the results should double click on the email link and send the person an email. How can i do that? I have to learn this technique.

The code is:-

Navigating Database Results And Problem With Link
I am loading results from mysql database and displaying on my page and then dynamically displaying only 5 results per page. On each page I have a POST button so that if user wants to POST something on form he should be able to do it whether he is on page 5 or page 1. When I first time loads the results on page 1 this POST button works fine but when I go to page 2 and click on POST it gives following error

"
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
"
and then even if I go back on page1 it starts giving me same error.

Navigating Database Results And Posting New Values
I am trying to dynamically display results that I retrieve from my database i.e. only 5 results per page and code should automatically compute how many pages it needs and create links for each page. I have also added a link at the top of my page so that if user wants to POST new data he can post it. Problem is that when I click on page 2 or 3 or any numbered page and click on POST link it gives me following error
"CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

And it did not tell about any header etc. Code:

Dynamic Insert Of POST Data Into Database
I have two tables one with game data ie visitor team home team so on and so forth and one with team name and team id, this info is pulled into a dynamic form. I can get the data from the form ok

foreach($_POST as $key => $value){
echo "$key:$value";
}

when I echo the info it gives me the correct output

game1:7 game1id:513
game2:14 game2id:514

I have columns in the database that correspond to the form var fields What my question is is how do I get the info into the database through each iteration in one row?

This is an example I have tried and I know doesn't work

$sql = "INSERT INTO teampicks ($key) VALUES('". $value ."')";
$res = mysql_query($sql);

PHP Devloping A Post Variable Name With A Database Entry
I am developing a regisration page that will present a set of check
boxes to the viewer. This list of checkboxes is developed from a list
in a database so the amount and names of the boxes will change. This
portion works just fine.

The page content has a user name and password along with several sets
of these checkboxes. All the form content of this page is presented in
one form.

The problem:

I want to store the values presented in these checkboxes back into the
database based on what the user selects. The data will be stored in a
table that has the id for the user and the id for the checkbox item.
As anyone knows, checkbox's only send a boolean value through POST so
once the data is sent it is nearly impossible to test for its value
and work on it since these are dynamically presented.

What I mean by dynamically presented is that the list is pulled from a
database. The checkboxes are build as such: <p><input
type="checkbox" name="{$row['name']}">{$row['name']}</p>. $row is
the reference to the database result set that has been affected by the
row_assoc function.

Since I have no idea what the contents of $row['name'] will be. I
cannot use isset($_POST['checkboxname']) to test its value as you
would normally do. As I see it 'checkboxname' is just a string and so
it seems logical to me that this would work:
isset($_POST['$row['name']']), but it doesn't.

My request:

I need to be able to check to see if the checkbox is check like such:
isset($_POST['$row['name']']) so I can check the value of
$_POST['$row['name']']. What is the correct way to run this check if
it is at all possible? Or is there another way to do this or a more
effective way to do this?

Download Database Search Results As Text File?
Can someone please tell me how to query a database and then download results as a text file.

Populating Form From Database, Then Passing Results To Next Page
I have a multiple select input in a form that's being populated by a row
from my database as such:
<input type="checkbox" name="subm[]" value="$row[ID]">

That part is working fine as I can check the displayed page using View
Source and see that the value is the correct row number from the
database. It is then being submitted on a form by $_POST method to
another page where I want to evaluate the checkboxes and display the
contents of the entire row that corresponds to each value="$row[ID]"
that have been checked. But I can't seem to get it to work. I'm having a
problem passing the selected value. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

$query = ("SELECT * FROM `table`");
$result = mysql_query($query);

print "<p>Data for Selections:";
print "<table border=2><tr><th>You chose:";

foreach ($_POST['subm'] as $value) {
print "<tr><td>";
print "$row[ID];
";
print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>";
print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>";
print mysql_field_name($result, 3) . ": " . $row[city]."<br>";
print "</td></tr>";
print "</table>
";
}

if (!isset($_POST['subm'])){
print "<p>No matching entry ";
}

mysql_close();

What Is Indexing In Mysql And How It Will Be Useful And How We Can Retrieve Database Content Easily From A Database Table Containing About 5lakhs Datas
I need to select data from a database table containing huge amount of
data. Now I am storing data using one primary key and I am just using
simple select statement, and this process gives me the output but it is
taking long to execute the query. As much I had heared I want to use
some indexing or cluster indexing which might help me but I am not so
familiar with these things.

Form To Email AND Database
The server I am on requires using cgiemail to send form data. I want to also send this data to a mysql database using php. Is this possible? How?

Database/Email Script
I am no PHP programmer. At my current job I made it known that I was no
PHP programmer during the interview. Still they have given me a script
to write with the understanding that it will take me a while (This
information is just for general knowledge as I don't want anyone
thinking I am trying to be dishonest with my intentions. Also, I do not
portray myself as something I am not. I am a beginner.)

Anyway, what the script needs to do is to take variables passed from an
HTML form and do two things. One is read it into a database. The other
is to send me an email with all of the customer's information.

//Name of the script is test.php
<?php
//I am using this echo command to make sure that the variables where
passed correctly.
echo $_Post['FName']; //Never displays
//Here is where the script for the database connections starts
$username='username'
$password='password'
$hostname='localhost'
$databasename='database'
//Here is where the database connection is actually made
$conection = mysql_connect($hostname, $username, $password);
mysql_select_db($databasename) or die ("Cannot connect to
database");
//With the database connection open, I start to insert the data from
the HTML form.
$result = mysql_query("INSERT INTO table() VALUES($FName,
$LName, $Company, $Title, $Address, $Apt, $City, $State, $Zip, $Phone,
$Fax, $Email, $Var1, $Var2, $Var3, $Var4, $Var5)");
//After reading the information into the table, we close the database
connection
mysql_close();
//This is where the email script starts (Both the database and email
scripts are inside the same php tags)
$mail_to="email address";
$mail_subject = "Review Registration";
$mail_body = "First Name: $_Post[FName]";
$mail_body .= "Last Name: $_Post[LName]" ;
$mail_body .= "Company: $_Post[Company]" ;
$mail_body .= "Title: $_Post[Title]" ;
$mail_body .= "Street: $_Post[Address]" ;
$mail_body .= "Apt: $_Post[Apt]" ;
$mail_body .= "City: $_Post[City]" ;
$mail_body .= "Zip: $_Post[Zip]" ;
$mail_body .= "Phone: $_Post[Phone]" ;
$mail_body .= "Fax: $_Post[Fax]" ;
$mail_body .= "Email: $_Post[Email]" ;
$mail_body .= "Var1: $_Post[Var1]" ;
$mail_body .= "Var2: $_Post[Var2]" ;
$mail_body .= "Var3: $_Post[Var3]" ;
$mail_body .= "Var4: $_Post[Var4]" ;
$mail_body .= "Var5: $_Post[Var5]" ;..........

Email Addresses In Database
I've just created a login system, and everything works fine. There's only one problem that I'm faced with at the moment, and that's the update profile page.

Now when you appear on this page, the data form fields show up, containing your current username, email address, name etc. But when you click submit, it comes back with "Your email is already in use!". Yes it's in use, because the user is signed up with that address.

What piece of code would I need to add in order to update the profile without getting an email in use error?

Email Users From Database
I know how to code it all, but how should I go about emailing all users from a database?

The db has their emails and stuff.

Sort Results By Date/time, Limit 5 Database Entries Of Today &/or Upcoming Days
I'm designing a website for my fraternity and in the database I have entries which contain past events, todays events, and upcoming events. My problem is that I can not figure out how to sort the query results to display:

1) only past events based on the CURRENT DATE
2) only the events which fall on the CURRENT DATE or after, limiting the results to 5 entries
3) all events that fall on CURRENT DATE or afterwards

Example:
Today is September 15, 2007

Problem 1) Displaying all events that happened before September 15, 2007
Problem 2) Displaying only 5 results that fall on September 15, 2007 or after
Problem 3) Displaying all events that are happening on or after September 15, 2007

And obviously I would like the CURRENT DATE to change depending on what date it is, currently.

Ok so now I've been very redundant in my explanation of my problem here is the code and a link to what that particular page looks like. Code:

Update Database With Data Received By Email
I d like to create a little script that check a mail box, get message and then update my progres database with data from the email. I need light on how to receive and process mail automatically.

Pulling Email Address From Database For Mail()
Maybe it's because it's late or maybe I'm just a newbie (couldn't be) but I'm having trouble with getting all the names from my database into my $to variable.

$sql_mail = "SELECT email
FROM players
WHERE email!= 'none'";
$result_mail = mysql_query($sql_mail);

//bunch of error message validation stuff...

//fetch email addresses from query
while($row_mail = mysql_fetch_assoc($result_mail)){
$to = $row_mail['email'].", ";
}
$subject = $_POST['subject'];
$headers .= "From: Me <email@site.com>";
$headers .= "Reply-To: email@site.com;
$message = $_POST['message'] . "";

//now before sticking $to in mail() now with my $headers, $subject and $message I figured that if I try that php will only include the first record.

echo $to; //returns first record as I figured.

How do I keep the list of emails from my while without having all the other stuff ($headers etc) repeat with every record?

POST To Mysql Database And Email Results?

I have a simple html form that POSTs to a mysql database. Can I, and if so, how can I, have it post to the mysql database, and email the form results too.I also have some other html forms that just mail() the results. So I can do both things separately, but I'm not sure how to combine them.
