Launching PHP From HTML Form
i build an app using PHP/MySQL/web. the APP and PHP programm are both located on the CD.
step 1:
i want it to a first interface (installation phase) to be an HTML page.
step 2:
I want it to get some informations for the installation
step 3:
i want the form to launch a PHP page (on the CD) and using the PHP.exe (on the CD)
step 4:
the PHP page send my modules using FTP
step 5:
once the FTP transfert is finished, the PHP page open a new page (that has been just uploaded) on the web server.
my problem is in step 3, how is it possible to launch a PHP script from an HTML page which is not on a web server??
I can do it easily with a SHELL script but i prefer the graphic interface of an HTML form. I know it is either possible using GTK but i don't want to use it because i'm not surre the client has a JVM.

Launching Application
I developed an internal website (hosted in a company server), which contains a few php scripts (forms users fill out and e-mail to others upon send). I have an e-mail instruction in the scripts, with a list of e-mail addresses. I would like to change this so users can launch Lotus Notes from the script upon sending, and choose to who send the form (instead of having fixed e-mails in the script). The company has given me the path where the .exe program resides on the server.

Launching Second Script When First One Finishes
I have numerous PHP scripts that connect to our Oracle database and export csv files. The amount of time it takes for each script to finish varies. Sometimes it takes 10 minutes, sometimes 30 seconds. I would like to figure out a way to have the first script run and when it finishes, launch the second script and so on and so on.

Launching Files Locally
I have PHP and Apache installed on a windows box that is attached to my home theater. I wrote some code that indexes the contents of a directory that has some video clips etc in it, and the outputted HMTL is nothing more than a series of hyperlinks to these files, with some CSS to liven it up a bit. The problem is this: when I click on one of the links, rather than launch the file, it attempts to "download" it (even though the file resides right there on the machine anyway). In my hyperlinks, I specified to use the "file:" protocol instead of HTTP. I really just want it to launch the file.

Launching Community Site
I'm creating a community website, and I want the following features: - members are able to write reviews - members are able to post classified ads (I'd like to be able to charge money for this) - ability in the future to create groups within the community. Can anyone suggest a content management system (CMS) or other off-the-shelf solution? Drupal springs to mind, but then I don't have a lot of experience with these kinds of builds, so I may be missing something that is out there.

Launching A Background Script From Php In Windows/IIS
I'm trying to build a PHP page which launches another php script to be run in the background. The web page should return immediately, while the background script may run for 10 minutes or something. Unfortunately I'm getting all kinds of weird behaviour.. In my main script I'm using exec() (also tried the other options) to start a ..bat file. This actually works, the batch file is launched and is able to write something to disk.. Now if I put the following line in the batch file: c:phpphp.exe -q backgroundscript.php then instantly I'm seeing about 30 php.exe processes being created, but nothing seems to be happening really. The processes seem to be dying immediately and replaced by new ones. So apparently php is trying something but fails and tries again. Both the script and the batch file work fine from the command line. Group 'Everyone' has read/execute rights for the batch file, the php script and php.exe. I have tried prefixing the command with START /b or cmd.exe /c but neither seem to make any difference. Also I tried redirecting stderr, stdout and stdin to NUL Server is Win2k, IIS5, php4.3.0. Searched the php docs, tried suggestions but it doesn't work, maybe because they use Apache. My guess is that the anonymous user IUSR_* doesn't have the rights to do something, but I can't figure out what.

Launching An Application: Does PHP Limit Network Connections?
I am having a problem using PHP to launch an application on the server. All the basics work, but I cannot launch more than 4 instances of the application. This application functions as a server itself, and I specify the port number when I launch it, so my theory is that I am reaching some limit on network connections. This is my basic launch sequence: <?php $command = 'c:Program Files (x86)myprogmyprogram.exe' $arguments = ' /Port:' . $port; exec('C:PsToolspsexec.exe -accepteula -d -s "' . $command . '" ' . $arguments . ' 2>&1', $output); ?> Note that I am using psexec because I need to keep track of the process ID number and kill the application when a user logs out. I can provide more details if needed, but if there is indeed some upper limit on port connections, that would certainly explain what I'm seeing. Incidentally, if I try this same procedure launching "Internet Explorer", my limit is 9 (instead of 4). If I launch a non-network application, it seems that I can launch as many as I want without limit. Note: I am using Windows XP Professional x64 Edition SP1

Launching Several CURL Posts Without Waiting To Download Pages..
Hy there, ok, i`ll get to the problem: My php script has a function named curl(some curl options and instructions), it doesn`t matter that, what it matters: $var1 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage1.php"); $var2 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage2.php"); $var3 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage3.php"); $var4 = curl("http://www.somedomain.com/somepage4.php"); Ok, so it downloades the content of somepage_.php to the $vars, however somepage_s_.php contains several scripts which takes a verry long time for the page to download, so my script waits for each page to download, one by one, as line by line, what i would like do rezolve is to start the curl without waiting to download the first page, then the second and so on, it should start the download of all the pages at almoust the same time. That would be all, please help, i`ve lost 4 nights trying to get this fixed but no luck.

Using Includes: Html Form Parse Data Inside 2nd Form.
i'm coming down the stretch, so to speak. i've got a lot of the separate things settled that i need for my main "date entry" form. due to the several data items which need to be collected by this form, i've decided to try using includes, which i've found isn't that tricky at all really. however, one of my includes needs itself to parse it's own little form data to result in the final entry to be submitted in the "date entry" form. perhaps doing this particular bit as an "include" is NOT the best option?

OT? Php Form And Html
Sorry to ask an old question, but I cant seem to get this simple php to work. Ive looked at old postings and for whatever reason cant seem to get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Im new to PHP. My PHP works just fine (apparently), but doesnt work the way I want it to. All I want to do is accept a login and password and then send it off to a perl script on 'submit'. It never appears to get into my 'if' section, any suggestions? I cant seem to get the following to work: <html> <body> <?php if (isset($_POST['Submit']) && ($_POST['login'] == 'login')) { print "Login: $login "; print "Pass: $pass "; $file = popen("/home/http/website/cgi-bin/gs_do_search.pl $login $pass","r"); while ($line = fgets($file,1024)) { // display it now } } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"> Login: <input type="text" name="login"><br> Password: <input type="password" name="pass"><br> <br> <input type="Submit" name="Submit" value="login"> </form> </body> </html>

PHP XML XSL HTML Form
I am working on a generic (php) script to produce (X)HTML Forms through XML and XSL based on field-definitions stored in a database. The basic way i did HTML-forms in PHP was like this: http://212.204.203.71/test/simpleform/simpleform.php source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/simpleform.php This basic form is validated when it is submitted to itself... if validation fails then an error message is created and displayed on the page...otherwise validation is ok and we can do some inserting in the database and/or redirect to another page. Remark: the fields that are filled will be automaically filled in if the page is submitted to itself (that will be my problem in the XML/XSL version of this script). Now we go over to the XML/XSL version of the script above: I therefore created an XML file (holding the field definitions) see: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xml And further i created an XSL file to transform the XML file into a HTML form. see: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.xsl Then i used a file form.php to put the XML and XSL together using some PHP xslt functions: http://212.204.203.71/test/xmlform/form.php source: http://212.204.203.71/test/syntax/form.php This all works fine but now the problem. I am looking for a concept of how to get the formfields filled in again after submitting the form because in XSL this is not as easy as with my basic form. I tried to send firstname and lastname as parameters in the function call and to put them as parameters in the xsl file but that does not work and it is not ok at all because my intention was to build a generic script.... Hope you see my problem as it is hard to explain.

HTML/PHP Form
I've been dealing with this problem a lot lately because I design a lot of forms. I've been merely copying and pasting chunks of code and changing the title of the form input and then inserting the text field or checkbox or whatever next to it and then changing the internal options for each input (maxlength, size, value, etc.). Then, I have to go to the top of the form page and do the whole "if the form submit button isset," then declare all the variables, do error checking on them all, and then throw them into a default HTML format to send via e-mail.

How Can I Put XSL Tag Inside HTML Form Tag?

In JSP (Java Server Page) you can do something like this <% String v = myBean.getValue(); %> <form .... > <input name="myTag" value="<%= v %>"> </form> You can do the similar thing in PHP. But when I try in XSL I got error. I have an XML file <myTag attribute1="value1" /> Now I want to transform it into HTML form tag used XSL template But XSL doesn't like this <input name="myTag" value=' <xsl:value-of select="@attribute1" /> '></input> How can I solve this problem?

HTML Form Issue.
I think that this problem might have a simple solution. I have a html page which has a few text boxes. On the top of the form I have the following line of code: <form action="ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" method="POST"> Hence when the user clicks submit, my php script "ProcessComplimentaryForm.php" should be called. In my script I just have a simple echo statement which tries to display one of the values in one of the text boxes. <?php echo "First Name : "; echo $_POST['firstName']; ?> firstName being the name of one of the text boxes on my html page. When I click submit on the html page I get the following error message: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Method Not Allowed The requested method POST is not allowed for the URL /complimentary.html. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What am I missing here? Is this an issue with the server I am trying to work on or is it something in the code I have written?

I Have A Problem With An HTML Form.
I have a problem with an HTML form. I have a form which I want to be able to type basic HTML code into it. When the submit button is selected the data is then previewed and added back into the text box again. Unfortunately all of the " charachters are escaped (I think that is the correct term) ie they have a leading added. This is causing me huge problems. I don't understand why that is happening. Any ideas? ------------------CODE-------------- <?PHP if(!isset($contents)) { include "config.php"; mysql_connect($cfg['dbhost'], $cfg['dbuser'], $cfg['dbpasswd']); $query = "SELECT `text` FROM `golf_contents` WHERE 1 AND `section` LIKE '$section'"; $result = mysql_db_query($cfg['dbname'], $query); if ($result) { while ($r = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $contents=$r["text"]; } } } $output = " <html> <head> <title> Edit Text </title> </head> <body> <form method="POST" action="edittext.php?section=$section"> <textarea rows="10" name="contents" cols="35"> $contents </textarea> <input type="submit" value="Preview" name="B1"> <input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"> </form> <BR>Preview...<BR> $contents </body> </html> "; echo $output; ?>

Editing HTML In A Form?
I want to build a very basic online text editor, to allow customers to modify their own sites' html content using a simple form with textarea element. I read the HTML file like so: <?PHP function EditText ($filepath) { if (!$file = file($filepath)) return false; foreach ($file as $line) { $value .= $line; // contains all text in file when done } $html = "<html><head><title>Editor</title></head> <body> <form method='post' action='processtext.php'> <textarea rows=ཤ' cols=ྌ' name='txt' value='$value'> <input type='submit'> </form> </body> </html>"; echo $html; return true; } EditText ('/sample/index.html'); ?> The problem comes when the parsed file containing html elements itself is echoed to the browser. In itself, PHP does what it's asked, but all browsers I tried choke on the contents of the TEXTAREA field. Best example may be: try parsing the file containing the script itself, it becomes a real mess. I tried htmlspecialchars, this did not fix it. I tried addslashes to only escape the quotes in the parsed file, also no success. I saw one example online where 'they' preg_replaced about every possible (x)html and php syntax element, resulting in an immensely large and slow script. Can't imagine that's the proper way forward. If at all possible I'd like to stay away from Javascript. Any idea if this is a realistic approach? Are there any useable scripts available? I searched google a lot, but I keep ending up at sites that offer html or php editors for local use, not in a browser.

Using Html Form Data
I'm trying to send and receive data interactively to an html form and am having trouble processing the returned data. The idea is as follows: - Retrieve records from a SQL DB and populate an array to send four of the fields from each record to an html table. - As each row of the html table is built (using a loop) it includes a checkbox field (used temporarily, and not for return to the SQL DB) so the user can select one or more of the displayed records. My problem is getting the record ids of the selected rows (checked boxes) back to my php processor so I can use the selections to populate a new array. I can't seem to grab and use any of the data from the checked rows. In the end, I need the record ID and road name fields for later use. Code:
