Want To Autopopulate Form Fields From Database
I have a working form that submits info into a database.
I want to take a few fields about the poster (name, email) and hide them and have them filled out from my user table, which is the same database but different table then where the form data is being sumbitted.
I must be searching for thr wrong thing cause i am not finding any information on it.

Autopopulate Dropdown List From Database
An events-registration page with a form containing a dropdown list for upcoming events, the events will be pulled from a table which is updated by...? what i've gathered so far is that this can be done with PHP. I am a little unclear on the concept of how this is done. How does the updated information get input into the table? 1) can this be done (updating database) through a web interface by the client, or is it something i would have to do locally and then upload. If done by the client, can he delete/edit existing information--assuming he is not familiar with code. 2) what other things aside from html(good), sql(so-so), and php(newb) will i have to know? i've seen a lot of good tutorials here and will have access to the necessary software. I just want to know if there is anything else i should know before i dive in head first without testing the PHP water, which i assume is frigid.

How Could I Get The Form Fields Filled From A Database?
One idea I have is to do a redirect, but it doesn't quite work because it ends to an infinite loop cause the page is redirecting to itself: header("Location: " . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . "?field1=something&field2=something else"); That would bee neet. I just would create a string from the contents I receive from the db and just redirect, but as I said, it doesn't work easily. You have to use the apache rewrite, but I didn't quite get it. Another solution is to check if the request is not empty for the particular field.

Dynamic Form Fields/multiple Page Form?
It is for a friends out of print booksite, where visitors can request multiple books to be searched by adding one at a time to a cart (javascript), then once all added they submit to another form where they enter their personal details and all is sent through. The problem is at the moment they cannot change whats in the cart without refreshing the browser window and losing everything. 1) present for asking how many books they want to search for 2) display multiple rows of the same input fields depending on how many books they say they want to have searched for?i.e title|author|publisher|etc title|author|publisher|etc title|author|publisher|etc 3) when these are submitted they could see these above the next part of the form where they enter their details with the option to go back and delete/amend. 4) send all the info to my colleague. if so has anyone seen a similar script that I could take a look @ to see if I can hack it to suit my needs?

Update Form Throws "Undefined Index" Error For Unchecked Radio Button Fields On Form
I have display error ON and error reporting to E_ALL. I have a form that opens fine. When you submit it, all the fields that have nothing in them, for example an un-selected radio button, throw the error similar to that below. Notice: Undefined index: fld_ONECHOICE in /usr/..../updateFORMFACT.php on line 29 These fields are not required for the form to be completed. Do I HAVE to default all fields to yes/no or some entry? Surely not. Is this just something that shows with error reporting set to E_ALL and I shouldn't worry about it?

Searching Database In All Fields
I got this... Code: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM qst_logbook WHERE $search_where LIKE '%$search_keyword%' ORDER BY `log_id` ASC",$db) or die("Error Executing Query"); works nicely for searching a field which i know. But i want $search_where to also have the option of 'Anywhere' so the db looks in all fields of the row to try and find what is specified. how would i do that? i thort maybe: Code: $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM qst_logbook WHERE %% LIKE '%$search_keyword%' ORDER BY `log_id` ASC",$db) or die("Error Executing Query");

Slideshow Pulling Database Fields
I used a javascript slideshow tutorial and changed it to insert my php database fields homephoto1 - homephoto6. Works perfectly. However, if all 6 database fields were not filled by the user, the screen shows a blank missing image for that particular field. Doesn't exactly look good when a user only has 2 pics and 4 blanks. Is there a way to change this so the empty fields will not show up in the array? <!-- var interval = 4000; var random_display = 0; var imageDir = "homes/photo/"; var imageNum = 0; imageArray = new Array(); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto1'];?>"); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto2'];?>"); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto3'];?>"); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto4'];?>"); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto5'];?>"); imageArray[imageNum++] = new imageItem(imageDir + "<?php echo $home['homephoto6'];?>"); var totalImages = imageArray.length;

Searching My Database For Multiple Fields
I have a number of different tables containing a number of different fields and i want to give people on my site an advanced search. The easiest way to explain this is for you to think of it as an estate agent's website. People visit the site and search for houses based on a number of different criteria, for example they would have a number of diffent boxes they could narrow a search down such as 'number of rooms', 'type of property', 'price' etc... Now this is similar to my site, I want people to b able to choose to narrow there search down but not be forced to enter information into all boxes. So i want a search where a user would be able to select the number of rooms they want a property to have but if they choose not to enter that information then the intial value of '0' (or null) would be submitted to the search query. A user should be able to enter number of rooms AND/OR property type AND/OR price. IF they dont enter that information then a value of '0' (or null) would be submitted for each of the options to the query however if they do select a value then this would form the query. This is where im struggling. After racking my small brains and trying to think logically about how i would do this, my logic tells me (and correct me if im wrong) that if i choose too insert each variable 1 at a time into a search query such as $search_result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE rooms='$rooms' AND type='$type' AND price='$price'",$database); ...then if a user hadnt entered how many rooms but had entered 'flat' as the property type they wanted then the sql would be searching the 'rooms' field for 0 (which it obviously WONT find) AND 'type' for 'flat' and will return no result even if a 'flat' did exist in the database What I have considered is building up the query as i go, so for example.

Using Variable Names Stored In Database Fields.
I'm working on a project where I need to store a CGI query in a database field. The query contains variables which will be substitued at runtime (e.g., today's date, key to select upon, etc), and may be pointed to different URLs depending upon the table key. The variable substitution works fine when hardcoding into the script, e.g.: $var1='data1' $var2='data2' $a="http://www.webserver.com/query.cgi?a=$var1&b=$var2"; $fd=fopen($a,"r"); ... However, the substitution fails when the query is pulled from a database record, e.g. //Only one record returned for testing purposes. // //location field (varchar) is: //"http://www.webserver.com/query.cgi?a=$var1&b=$var2" $var1='data1' $var2='data2' $dbconn=yadda yada; $dbquery=pg_query($dbconn,"select key,location from schema.table"); $row=pg_fetch_assoc($dbquery); $fd=fopen($row['location'],"r"); ... In this case, the variable substitution doesn't occur in the query (i.e., $var1 remains the string $var1, instead of changing into the value of say, ༿-23-2004'). I've tried different variations, and treating as a variable variable (with $$row['url'] and ${$row['url']}.

Database Table Updated To Reflect New Fields.
I would like for them to be able to add their own form elements and have their database table updated to reflect their new fields. I'm considering giving each user a child (unique) table for this solution and linking it to the parent table. Let's say I want 2 tables to be extended by the user. So, each user would get it's own child table, if they decide to extend. Potentially, this could create a lot of tables. The way I envision creating it is very easy to code, but that doesn't mean it is the best way. What are some other ways I could accomplish this, and using this methods, what are some security and performance concerns I should consider?

Update Database Based On Modified Fields
I have a php page that retrieves entries from a mysql database and puts the data back in their corresponding fields. I would also like to offer the option of updating the database within this page. What I'm thinking is that whenever the user modifies a field, the value is then updated in the database. What I'm concerned with is the time it will take to update the database if I use many select and update commands. Is there a smart way to detect which fields were modified and then only update the fields that have changed using some php coding and not javascript. Or only doing an UPDATE command will be the best way to do it.

Empty Form Fields
I have a simple HTML form, which when submitted I want to check whether he fields have been completed. If everything is complete, I want to process the form....No problem with this bit. If any of the fields are not complete however, I want to indicate this......for example by placing a * character next to the field which is empty i.e. echo "<TR><TD>Username</TD><TD><INPUT TYPE=text NAME=username></TD><TD>*</TD></TR>"; I am guessing that the best way to do this is submit the page to its self, and check for any empty fields, then display the form again. What would be an efficient way of doing this, given that I have to check about 20 fields?

Validating Form Fields
I would like to create a php script that can validate all of the required elements in the form. I'm not sure the best way to do this, but I know it's a smart idea to have good validation in place before there is a problem. There are a few pages involved here, and the ACTION tag in the form is sending it to an email delivery script, so it needs to be as error free as possible. In this case would it be smarter to create inlined code that will validate the fields based on an if/else statement before the form is posted? If someone could give me a sample code of what a simple form field validation would look like that would be great. PHP Code:
