Retrieving Contents Of Select List On Form Submit

Retrieving Full Entry From Multiple Select List
I have a list box with multiple selects. I define the name as numList[]. I
get the values from

$picked = $_POST['numList'];

It retrieves values for all those selected.

If the entries are, say,
First
Second
Third

and the first and third are select then $picked[0] has "First" and
$picked[1] has "Third".
If, however, the entries are:

First one
Second one
Third one

Then the values are for $picked[0] and $picked[1] are "First" and "Third"
respecticely.
How do I retrieve the entire value and not just the first word?

List Contents Of A Folder, Make List Of Links
Does anyone know how I can write a script that:

- reads in all the files in a particular directory
- displays the file names in a html list and makes a link of them:
<ul>
<li><a href="filelocation1">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation2">filename 1</li>
<li><a href="filelocation3">filename 1</li>
</ul>

etc.?

So basically it creates a list of links with the contents in that directory,
so you can download them from there.

Multi Select Combo Box - Retrieving Data
I have a combo/listbox with "multiple" enabled in an HTML form and pass this to a PHP script, I should be able to access each item as $array_name[0] etc?

Thats what my book says and what I've been able to track down on Google seems to agree, but the only element I seem to be able to retrieve is $entry_select[0] (from the form below) which contains the last value selected in the combo list. Attempts to select $entry_select[1] just result in nothing printed. Code:

Accessing The Contents Of A SELECT (multiple) Array?
Simple I would guess but since I've never used one of these I'm not sure how to get at it:

PHP Code:

<select name="chooseConcert" size=2 multiple>
<option value="Conversations">Conversations (September 12, 2002)</option>
<option value="Karla">Karla (various dates in October /Nov)</option>
</select>

I need to somehow determine (and print out) the contents if BOTH options are checked. I'm getting the contents using"

$HTTP_POST_VARS['chooseConcert']

I tried it once with both options checked and it only returned the second value. So what's the syntax?

Getting Right Order Of <option>s In <select> After Submit
I'm trying to emulate part of our client-server application as a web
site so customers can use it, and I'm stuck when it comes to
re-ordering items in a list.

Basically we have a list of available articles ("availableItems") and
a list of articles already in an issue ("selectedItems"). What I want
is to be able to move articles freely between the two lists and then
on submission add them to the issue (which I can), but also move items
in the "selectedItems" list around so that they can be re-ordered
(i.e. I want the customers to be able to change the order in which the
articles appear in the issue).

I can do both these things on screen (i.e. I have written Javascript
to move them from one box to the other (add/delete them from
"selectedItems") and to move individual articles up or down the list
of articles in the issue. Befor submitting I run a Javascript loop on
the list to select them all, from top to bottom. On screen it always
selects them in the right order (i.e. top to bottom, no matter whether
I have changed the order of these items) but when I grab the array
containing the item id numbers it's as if the change in order had
never happened!!!

Newly added or deleted papers get added/deleted fine, but when I fetch
the array from "selectedItems" I always end up with the items in the
same order, with the latest items added at the end. However, being
able to change the order of these items is crucial for this project,
but so far I have been unable to do this and I haven't found any
information on how to grab the new ORDER of items.

Here's some of the code:

I retrieve the array like this:

/*
$ia_items_new = $_POST['selectedItems'];
*/

However, this still lists the items in the OLD order:

/* if ($ia_items_old) {
foreach($ia_items_old as $key => $value) {
//echo("<BR>Old: No.".$key." - ".$value);
}
}
/*

Populating the "selectedItems" box:

/*
print( " <td><select multiple size=&#3920;'
" );
print( " id='selectedItems'
" );
print( " name='selectedItems[]'>
" );
//Grab values if the information was found
$in_total_count = $objRSIssueBatord->RecordCount();
$counter = 0;
if ($in_total_count > 0) {
//Now put in an entry for every value in the batting order list:
//Get the recordset ready and extract data:
$objRSIssueBatord->MoveFirst();
while (!($objRSIssueBatord->EOF)) {
$counter ++;
//Get the variables and make string to describe items
$in_paper_id = $objRSIssueBatord->fields("bip_paper_tracker_id");
$is_jsp = $objRSIssueBatord->fields("jsp_code");
$is_customer_no = $objRSIssueBatord->fields("pap_customer_no");
if (!$is_customer_no) $is_customer_no = "N/A";
$is_author = $objRSIssueBatord->fields("pap_author");

Retrieving Form Data.
I have two scripts - common.php and edit.php.

Select List
I'm creating a form that has three select lists. The first one has two values EMAIL and SMS. What I want to do is have the two other select lists (named EMAIL and SMS) work so that if EMAIL is selected only e-mail select list can be altered and vice versa with the SMS.

How can I do this? I know to use disabled in <select> -tag, but how can I check the what the value is (and the value changes) and then act acording to it?

Retrieving The Multiple Values Set By A Form
I am passing a form to a php script for further processing.

I am able to retrieve the last value set for that given form variable
using
$variable=$_REQUEST['form_variable'];

My question is, what is the Php way of retrieving all the values passed
for the same form variable?

For example, if the php script is called with a syntax like

http://xxxx/get_variables.php?form_...riable=variable

, how do I iterate through all the values that form_variable has been
set to?

Retrieving A Filename From A Filefield Form Element
I'm trying to retrieve a filename from a file i select using a fieldfield. I'm unable to upload the file to my ftp server due to stupid limitations from my server provider.  So I am uploading the file using a standard ftp client software and then selecting the file of my harddrive to associate with an entry in a database.

The problem is everytime I select a file and click on Submit, PHP seems to temporarily upload the file before retrieving the filename. So if this is a big file it can take a while when it should be a near instant process to take the path of the filename and remove everything but the filename+extension.

Is there anyway of retrieving the filename in a quicker way than the way it is doing it at the moment?

Select List/Menu Using PHP And MYSQL
Here is my code:

<select name="country" class="sidelinks">
<?php
do
{
?>
<option value="<?php echo $row_AllCountries['country_ID']." ";?>"<?php if ($row_AllCountries['country_ID'] = $acountry) { echo "selected"; }?> >
<?php echo $row_AllCountries['countryname'];?></option>
<?php
}
while ($row_AllCountries = mysql_fetch_assoc($AllCountries));
?>
</select>

A few words to describe:
-$row_AllCountries['country_ID'](get from MySQL) is a unique country ID number
-$row_AllCountries['countryname'](get from MySQL) is the name of the country
-$acountry is the country ID number that i want to be selected when the form loads

I have all the values and country names named OK...the only problem is that when the form loads it selects the last country.

Select From Drop List To Fill Table Column With Text -- HOW ?
I want viewers to compare state laws on a single subject.

Imagine a three-column table with a drop-down box on the top. A viewer
selects a state from the list, and that state's text fills the column below.
The viewer can select states from the drop down lists above the other two
columns as well. If the viewer selects only one, only one column fills. If
the viewer selects two states, two columns fill. Etc.

I could, if appropriate, have a separate htm page with the text for each
state -- california.htm for example. When the viewer selects California from
the drop down list, the column below would "fill" with California.htm.

Or, I could conceivably use a text or mysql database with two fields for
each record: state_name and law_text -- but it would probably be easier to
use separate htm files, since there will only be about 20 states involved,
and the "database" would never have a large number of records.

The table width would be 100% and each cell would be @33%

My site is designed with FP 2002 and runs on Apache/FreeBSD. I have just had
Apache-ASP installed but I have not yet configured or used the module.

Checking Form Contents
I would like to verify the contents of a form before inserting the data into a mySQL database. How can I check the contents of the form and return the user to the form if they have not completed all the required fields(with the data they have entered intact). Only after the form is verified to contain all the mandatory data do I want to insert it into the database.

In addition, it would be great if I could highlight the fields that are missing data. Currently, I have a php script handling the submission and insertion. Is it possible to make that submission conditional?

Security Issues With Posting Form Contents To Server?
I'm currently reading a php book that attempts to declare the security hazzards of not screening a form's content before allowing it to be posted, whether to a database, text file, or otherwise. Honestly, I still don't get what the problem is.

Lets say magic quotes is turned on. Could someone list the major things I should still be doing to prevent security problems? For example, the book says to use htmlspecialchars(), though how does allowing the user to enter HTML tags compromise anything? The data simply gets posted as is to a database, then output as is Maybe an annoying JavaScript is output, but hardly a security breach to the server itself as far as I can tell.

Form Submit
The program I'm working on is a web-based CMS (content management system). There is a large editing form where users can add/update/alter content. Several parts of the editing process however require the user to navigate away from the page. The problem is that any changes made to the main form are discarded when navigating away (something I sort of forsaw but just never got around fixing early on - bad idea). To give you a better idea:

There is the main editing form called edit_buildings.php On it there are several text fields. The form is submited to a page called edit_submit.php which does all the processing and also outputs a log of changes made, to make sure everything went through ok.

However, on the edit_buildings.php page, there are links to other pages like edit_rooms.php and edit_features.php (I'm sure you can get an idea of how this works).

Is there ANY (easy) way of having the links to edit_rooms.php and edit_features.php get the form submimted and processed by edit_submit.php and then redirected to the originally intended destination (edit_rooms.php, edit_features.php) ?

PHP Form Self Submit ?
I'm try to figure out how to submit the Form Variable to Multiple Address. The basic form action is only post to single address like this, <form method= post action="abc.php">

1) abc.php
2) discuss.php
3) log.php
4) data.php
5) 123.php

Did your have any idea how does it work in php? Did anyone can tell me where can I find the tutorial teaching on this method or did your have any code sample that can share with me for reference.

when the user presses a button named Go. This value needs

-------------
<?php
$error[] = "Enter Name";
$error[] = "Enter Password";
header("Location: a.php?error=$error");

Form Submit Button
Should be a quickie but I just can't get it to work.

I have a form where my users can submit their football picks, when they
click submit I would like another sized window to appear (mnf_scores.htm)
where they can submit a total score for the Monday night football game each
week. From the research I've done I think I need the following:

// If this is change picks, output the submit button and close the form
if ($userfunc==1) {
echo "<p><input type="submit" value="Submit Your Picks!"
onclick="window.open('mnf_scores.htm','MNF Scores')"/></p>
</form>
";
}

But that just doesn't seem to work. The submit part works but the subsequent
window is not opened.

Auto Submit A Form In PHP
Does anybody know how to auto-submit a form in PHP without Javascript?

For instance, submit form variables to self, validate the data in PHP on

field that I think needs to be posted instead.

Auto-post the form variables possible?
