Saving The Output Of A Form To XML
I have some clients who want to do a bit of the maintenance of their homepages themselves and I would appreciate this because that will save me a lot of work.
Is it possible to generate the output of a form into XML instead of generating it into a database or into an e-mail? I have already got a PHP script which converts the XML into HTML.

GD - Saving Output To A File
I have a script which creates a very simple image on the fly, using an array from a seperate file. It displays the 5 previous songs I have listened to in iTunes. However, I'm trying to code it for use as a forum and myspace image, so it needs to be an acceptable file for both cases. Preferably a jpeg or gif. Is it possible to output the final result from the GD code to a seperate image file that is updated on time-schedules, or processing a jpeg file as php coding in a way which would allow the image to be displayed?

Output File Without Saving
I've seen a few sites that offer this, but I'm not sure how they do it. It's a form button, that when pressed, prompts the use to download a file. Like if I want my banking records, I select a date range and press the button, and it compiles and sends me an excel doc right then. What I'd like is to comile and deliver a file in that manner, without saving the file to some directory and providing a link. Does anyone know how this is done?

Saving Form Results When Form Split Into Four
Im a trying to develop a form which is split into four parts because of its size. Up to now ive always designed my form with all the HTML fields n stuff and had a seperate formhandler which did the PHP stuff. I would like to be able to click a next/submit button after completing the first part, insert the 1st part of the form into the database then go onto the 2nd part of the form- but I would like to be able to click a previous button and have the 1st part of the form I submitted still there with my responses saved (obviously If I went on a previous page and hit next I would like to UPDATE, not insert the 1st part of the form and so on) Code:

Saving Form
i want to break it up into 4 pages of 40 feilds. so here is the thing i need it so people click on "save and quit" and it saves everything then when you come back it brings you back to page 1 with all the feilds filled in. this is how i thought about doing it, have a database with all the feilds in it, then have a cookie that stores the id to that specific record. now i dont know how to accually call a cookie to tell the query how to pull the id, also i dont know how to check if the person already has a cookie or not, and if do do i tell it to update the database feild or insert into it. i was thinking if they have a cookie id it will bring it up and i will use an update to do it, (when you click save and quit it inserts what you have filled out into the database) but then i will need a different form to do the one if you dont have a cookie id already so then you need to insert into a new one, im trying to do this with out repeating to much...

Saving A Filled PDF Form
I am trying to build some functionality where a user can fill out an editable PDF form and send it to my site. I realize I can just have them save and upload/email it, but if I could pull the fields out of the pdf and insert them into a database, I would really prefer that. I saw some ways to do this, but all were expensive commercial solutions which I can't afford. Important points are storage space, ease of use and security. I really want the forms to be as secure as possible when submitted. I also think having to save and upload the pdf might be too difficult/too much work for some users and I want it to go as easily as possible. Another idea I had was to have a link inside the pdf, which would save the form and send the user to the upload page, with the path already entered into the upload box? not sure how to even begin going about that though. I did some searching on the forum and it seems like it's not as common a problem as I thought. Most php/pdf stuff seems to be just creating pdfs dynamically.

Saving A Form To The Server
I want to submit it to the server and have it saved: 1. In a directory by the guides name which would be the variable 'describe11'. Create this directory if it does not already exist. 2. Create a special file name from the date and time submitted. This form will be filled out by a bunch that are not very computer literate, so I must automate everything for them. I've been searching/googling for 3 weeks now with little to no success.

Saving Form Values
I have set up a login script based on the one found in http://evolt.org/article/comment/17/60265/index.html but I have modified and extended it significantly. A problem I am having is if a field is incorrect or not filled out and the user is "<a href..."ed back to the original page all the inserted data is lost and needs to be filled out again. I have tried the following code to get the input data saved but it does not work in the script I am using; <?php ... $user = isset( $_POST['user'] ) ? $_POST['user'] : '' ... ?> <tr> <td>Username:</td> <td> <input type="text" name="user" value=<?php echo "$user" ?> maxlength="30"> </td> </tr>

Saving Form Data Without Submit?
I could need some advise on a form / form processor I am working on. Normaly I store all form data through php into a class variable for later use. I do this by submitting the form. However I would like to ease the usage of my form and would want each form field to store its' information "onChange". I did this before with "onChange=thisformSubmit()", but that's not acceptable in this case. Is there any other sensible method to save fields individually? maybe using Ajax? Maybe there's a good tutorial somewhere?

Saving A File Received By A Form
I am just another newbie programmer in PHP and web developping and in the three days I have been messing up with it I have been able to do all the things I wished except one. When I receive variables from a form, like a string with the name I can read them with $_POST["name"] without problem. But when the form sends to me a file, I haven't found how to save it into my system. I guess I can access to it with $_POST["file"], fopen it, and then do fread and fwrite in another file. But this seems to me like a too much unconfortable way of doing it, so I ask here what is the normal way of saving a file sent by a form.

Saving Form Information Into Mysql
I am looking at a way to store a list of ids from a form. What I have is a form in php that lists a group of devices that I need store in a table in a mysql database. This form is dynamic in length. ---- Sample Form ---- Device #1 Device #2 - SELECTED Device #4 Device #5 - SELECTED Device #6 Device #7 - SELECTED Device #8 - SELECTED --------------------- So I want to take 2, 5, 7, 8 and store it into a database so I can recall it later and make a report on the items selected in the form. Would an array work in this situation? What type of solution would work for this?

Saving A File With A Form Insert
I have a form that I use to insert info about items into a database. One of the fields is the item's image. I have a field of type 'File" where I can browse to the location of the image and select it. When I submit the form, it only gets the file-name part, not the path. I realize that the path on the local machine means nothing to the script running on the server. How can I modify the form or the script so that once the user selects a file name, I can copy it to a location on the server so the script can access it later?

Saving Form Variables Using A Java Function
I would like to know if it is possible to save a value from a php form in a session using a java function. What I am doing: I have a php form. The form contains a textbox and 2 list menus (drop down box) The second drop down box relies on the selection made in the first. within the reload() java function I save the value entered in the first list menu (using the onChange="reload(this.form)" ) I pass the variables in the url. The users selection loads values into the second list menu. Where the user can make a second selection. This value is passed using the same method. What I would like to do is save the textbox (or all the entered values) values in a session using a java function. When the user changes the a value or enters one.

Using PHP To Output A Form
I have a login system that gives registered users unique userIDs and stores their registration info in a MySQL DB. Now the tricky part: I need a PHP that outputs a simple HTML form with a list of all the members (and their name and email) in the DB, with a checkbox next to each. This form must be specific to whomever is logged on, such that the data (s)he enters only goes into the relevant row, column or table of the individual whose checkbox was checked. Summing up: I need a way for (1) a form to display all the listed members in a MySQL DB and (2) to have the info selected in the form entered into the relevant row, table, or column of the individual selected.

Modifying Form Output
I'm using FormMail for the first time. It seems to be working OK, but the email form notification ends with the line "Submit: submit" - obviously taking this from the Submit button at the bottom of the form. How can I prevent this showing on the email? It’s so unnecessary and unprofessional-looking. I can't believe it's intentional, so assume I’ve set something up incorrectly.

Formatted Form Output
I have generated a job application form for a user to fill out when seeking employment with our company. The returned data is OK but the format is not user-friendly. Given that, I developed a php file that receives the user input and formats the data into a more readable document. My question is how can I take this system one step further and have the more readable php-generated format either turned into e-mail (HTML formatted) or saved as a file inside my website directory?

How To Format The Output Of A Form.
i am using a simple contact.php form to gather info from online users (from the contact.html) on my website. I am trying to format the output of each field as it looks in the contact form (the contact.html, which delivers to contact.php), but the results (which are then delivered to my email address) in fact will come to my inbox cluttered, and each field result stands next to each other which makes it hard to distinguish and read the results. I've tried different ways, but it seems i am unable to format the output results, i only get the results.

Form Field Text Output
How can I get html code in an editable form field to display properly? Specifically: I have text that is echoed to a form field via <? echo $text ?> The user can then edit that text and submit. However <BR> is showing up as a literal <BR> and should be a linefeed. Is there a way to have this display properly? Example: LINE ONE<BR>LINE TWO should display as LINE ONE LINE TWO Note that this is only a problem in the form field. It displays properly when echoed outside of the form.

Wrapping HTML Form Output.
I'm trying to use PHP to wrap the output of an HTML form before it goes into a precompiled C cgi script. Essentially, the company that I work for uses a purchased precompiled c program for their shopping cart. This C program stores order information, and when an order is processed and approved, records the transaction and sends a template email to the customer with an invoice describing their purchase. Since we're going to be selling a new software product soon, they've asked me to write a script into the website that will include License Keys to the product the customer has purchased along with all other data about the order. The C program DOES have functionality for custom variables, but it they've all got to be neatly packaged and set up for the C code BEFORE the customer completes the order, and I don't want these values to be evident at that point, because a simple right click and View Source would expose the keys to a non-purchasing client. (I'm also going to mention in code a php file I'll call keyGen.php, which will have one method called gen that will read a string, (which I'll give from a cookie) and generate a key. I realize that reading a cookie ain't a good way to do this, but I want to solve this problem first then I'll find a way around the cookie problem). So, what I'm thinking of doing is redirecting the Checkout button's form, which previously pointed to the C CGI script, to point to a PHP file, which I'll call Intercept.php, This php file will examine all the form's inputs, repackage them, then use putenv and passthru to call the C CGI with all the original form's variables as well as any new ones I want to create. So essentially the code WAS <html> <form name=checkout method="post" action="/cgi-bin/shopper"> <input name="blah1"> <input name="blah2"> </form></html> and now I need <html> <form name=checkout method="post" action="intercept.php"> <input name="blah1"> <input name="blah2"> </form></html> and intercept.php as something like <?php include "keyGen.php"; $keyVal = gen($_COOKIE['basket']); $keyName = "PASSLicKey"; $toInclude = "http://www.notawebsite.com/cgi-bin/shopper"; $toArgue = $keyName."+".$keyVal;

They want people to be able to select options for a car, like a "Build a Car" kind of deal like you see on car sites. They want it to output to an Excel file that looks like a specific format that they like with all the data that the people selected. I am sure you can output the form variables to a MySql Database, and then the database to an excel sheet. But I just don't get the details, like how to make the excel sheet adhere to a certain visual formatting, as well how to make each individual car go to one excel sheet.

#2: Creating 'output' With Form-collected Variables
Some dumb questions may follow... I am learning PHP for a simple specialized calculator/curve-fitter that collects input from a user then fits the data to their range of conditions in the form of a table (actually just two columns of output). I bought a copy of Dmitri Koterov's book with a title something like "Create your Web Page with PHP'. What I like about it is it explains the how and why significantly instead of just examples. I may eventually find an answer in there, but I'd like to supplement reading with questions... It APPEARS to me that my task will be even easier with PHP than previous efforts with JavaScript. It looks like I can simply ECHO the processed data embedded in tags, like a <LIlist or even a <TABLE. With JS I got lost trying to figure out other examples people referred me to with get inner html & item ID etc...got too abstract for me. It doesn't need to be fancy...thus far, I think the echo method may be adequate. So, at last, the question...I previously had trouble with JS figuring out how to make variables accessible to more than one script (make them 'global'?). I think PHP is more flexible with variables...whether or not it is a good practice, they apparently do not need to be explicitly defined by type (they are interpreted by content?), but are they automatically assumed to be global? What do I need to do to them to make them be 'global' or "remembered" for use by more than one script? What then would be their 'lifetime'...cleared when the script is exit-ed, or until refreshed by a new form Submit? (Maybe what I'm hinting at is whether or not there is the concept of a 'session' that gets reset somehow. Lastly, can Submits of form data for the purpose of recalculation be 'processed' by other means than pressing a Submit button, like a MouseOver or MouseOff kind of thing?

Creating A Form That Once Submitted Displays A Tabled Output
I have a form that I am trying to create that ideally will present a desired output based on the selections of the form. The following is an example of the dataset I am pulling from: I am trying to: 1. Have a drop-down selectable to select a start date. 2. Have another drop-down selectable to select a stop date. 3. Have radio buttons to select which datas I wish to view for the range set by steps 1 and 2. Example is nodes_available, nodes busy, one, both, or all. 4. Have the ability to select the interval of minute, hour, or day. Once the form variables are selected, then it is submitted with the desired results displayed in a table on another page. Ideally this output will eventually find its output displayed in some type of graph form, but at the moment I am trying to atleast achieve the desired outcome.

Making Gmdate Output Equal Date Output
gmdate('F j, Y, g:i a',0) returns January 1, 1970, 12:00 am. How do I add to the second parameter of the date function to make it always return that same date, regardless of the time zone? Intuitively, it seems like date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z')) should do it, but on my system, that's an hour off. Here's some sample code: <? echo gmdate('F j, Y, g:i a',0).'<br />' echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z')).'<br />' echo date('F j, Y, g:i a',0 - date('Z') + 60*60); ?> And here's the output on my system: January 1, 1970, 12:00 am December 31, 1969, 11:00 pm January 1, 1970, 12:00 am Will the last echo always return the same thing as the first echo, regardless of the time zone? If so, why? It seems that the second one is the one that should do it - not the first one.
