HTML - Passing In Variables To A Php Form ?

I have a simple signup form on my site that I want to pass the input to the larger signup form. Here is the code for the simple form:

<form action="http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp" method="post" accept-charset="UTF-8">

The larger signup form is located he http://bigdogcattle.com/?a=Cattle_Mailing-List_SignUp

I want the email address from the simple form to move to the larger form when the submit button is pressed. Ideas?

Ok, this sounds extremely easy but I'm more of a designer and less of a coder. I'll try and explain what I want to accomplish. I spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday searching for a solution. Alas, I need some assistance!

We have a page where users can view a report in a PDF format from a drop down.

Also on that page we need to have a place where they can select an option from a drop down and email the PDF to them. Now, we have the link set up. I can take a sample link, add my email address to the end of it, hit enter and it shoots me an email.

The question is how can I take what the user inputs into a form and pass it into a URL. All that needs to happen is to send the user to that URL and have the URL be correct. At that point the email gets sent automatically.

My best attempt so far gets me to the URL but things like &, =, etc are replaced by %3D and %26. The URL won't work that way.

I'll post that code:

Code:

<FORM METHOD="LINK" ACTION="https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?">
  <select name="unitfuel">
    <option selected>Select Month</option>
    <option value="year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax">January 2009  </option>
    <option value="year=09&month=02&reportName=UnitTax">February 2009</option>
  </select>
  Type in your email address:
  <INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="&email=">
  <INPUT TYPE="submit" VALUE="Send email">
</FORM>

Here is what I get in the URL: (sorry had to place it in html tags because the link was only half showing up.)

HTML Code:

https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?unitfuel=year%3D09%26month%3D01%26reportName%3DUnitTax&%26email%3D=test@testmail.com

Also, notice that "unitfuel" gets appended to the URL as well. It gets passed into the URL and that will likely cause the report to fail.

The URL needs to look like this:

HTML Code:

https://fusion.bennettware.com:4443/drivers/getfueltaxreport?year=09&month=01&reportName=UnitTax&email=myemail@mydomain.com

If a user were logged in and ran that link, a page would appear stating that an email had been sent.

So, all I need it for the input to get placed into the URL without all of the additional characters. The report cannot run when the URL looks like the above and thus cannot get emailed.

Also, that link probably won't work since the site is password protected, so you'll likely get a 'page cannot be displayed' error if you try to access it. Solution is likely simple, then again, my luck would have it not being so simple! I thank you all in advance for your help. At least a point in the right direction would be nice.

Hi folks - right then, think im being thick here lol

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="myvariable2">

I have a variable say called myvariable1, how do I pass that into the above so that value becomes equal to it?

ie myvariable2 = myvariable1

myariable2 also needs to be/become numeric.

Any help appreciated, ta karl

I wish to get the value of a textbox in a form however, I'm unable to reference the textbox using the name property (I wish to get both the name and value property values). Is there another way to get these properties values? Or pass them as parameters through an onClick event as I'm trying to retrieve these within another javascript function.

Hi
This is my first post so trust I don't breach any protocols.

I'm creating a form that will send data from the form to an email. I have done this many times before with no problem but suddenly it is failing to do so.
The main form has approx24 data fields so in case this was a problem, created a simple form with 2 text fields and a submit button but this wouldn't work either.

My default Editor is dreamweaver MX and outlook as my email. Not being sure if it is my code, editor or email system causing the problem I have tried all variations using Dreamweaver MX, Dreamweaver CS3, Frontpage and in desperation Pagebreeze with Outlook, Outlook Express and Mozilla Thunderbird.

I'm pulling my hair out.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>

    <input type="text" name="textfield">

  <p>
    <input type="text" name="textfield2">
</p>
  <p>
    <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
  </p>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Has anyone had the same problem and solved it ?

This htm file contains no errors, but the "amount" value is not passed to the form (does not appear on the shopping cart). If I type in the value for the amount in the input field, everything works fine, but I need the amount to be dependent on the item_name selected.

The shopping cart just shows this error message "Some required information is missing or incomplete."

Any suggestions?

Hi

My first post here, so I hope it's a good one!

I have a form which I want a javascript function to be able to manipulate the action= line. the reason I want this is so I can manipulate the subject line.

the javascript looks like this:
Code:

<script language="JavaScript">
function getMAILTO(){

var mailto = "andy.plumb@conwy.gov.uk?subject=EN$(FORMNO)";
alert(mailto)
document.Enrolment.action = mailto; 
}
</script>

I have put the alert in so i can see what the variable produces.

The form line looks like this:
HTML Code:

<form action="mailto:javascript:getMAILTO()" method="post" >

Hey guys,

i'm just starting up with html, and am having a few problems. I have a php file titled "stats.php" that return results when you direct your url to: /stats.php/default/dricho

Its a dynamic sig generator through a php file. I have created a form that allows you to simply add in the details so that it generates the link for you. But i am having an issue.

here is the form:

HTML Code:

<form action="http://www.domain.com/sig/stats.php" method="post"> 
<select name="background"> 
<option>maple</option>
<option>default</option>
</select>
Name: <input name="rsn" type="text" /> 
<input type="submit" />
</form>

How can i make it so teh results open a link based on teh items chosen? i.e. if i chose maple and input dricho it would direct the url to: "/stats.php/maple/dricho"?

All help is greatly appreciated,
Daniel

Hi,

I have a page that uses AJAX to set a variable, the variable is either true or false.

On the page there is a form with a text input, i would like the variable to dictate whether the element is read only or not.

So instead of:

<input name="cd" value="title" readonly="readonly" />

I would rather something like:

<input name="cd" value="title" readonly="$lock" />

Note: I am aware that $lock is PHP but I am not familiar with the syntax in this instance.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

I am using a form to submit a name and password for log on. The form is using password type fields. However, once the form is submitted the results are showing in the url query string of the return page. How do I prevent this?

I'm new to all this stuff, but I am working on creating a simple drop-down menu that must pass a variable to an xml script (VXML to be exact). All files will be on a linux web host.

Any suggestions on what to use for the drop-down menu web page (php, java script, etc)? Depending on what selection is chosen in the drop down, a different value need to be assigned to the variable.

Thanks!

I have a site (no standards, written with MS Frontpage) that I am converting to 4.01 strict with Dreamweaver. There is one big problem ... virtually all of the text in 4.01 strict is spread out vertically, especially when they are in separate paragraphs:

Code:

      <p class="nomargin" align="center>New to stewardship?</p>
      <p class="nomargin" align="center>Start here!</p>

where the "nomargin" class is:

Code:

.nomargin 
{  
  margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
  padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
}

These two sentences are close together vertically in either the MS quirky, or 4.01 transitional standard, but there is significant vertical margin (they are spread out vertically) under 4.01 strict. I need to use 4.01 strict, but I also need these paragraphs to have no margin so they are close together vertically. Why does 4.10 strict do this and how do I eliminate the margins?

Thanks

Hi all,

i'm new to xml but i was wondering if the following is possible:
I have a html document with some tabs. And when i click on a tab it opens a xml document. In the xml document is a link to xsl sheet with a variable and i want to change that variable with the value of the link in html document. Does some one nows how?

html link:

<a href="#t1" target= "t1" title="[link title]">11</a>

<div class="sliderkit-news" id=t1><iframe name="t1" width="100%" height="800" src=wo.xml></iframe>

xml variable
<xsl:variable name= "line" select="'11'"/>

The number 11 should come form the a href in the html doc.

Also the following is possible fill the variable with a drop down menu:
<xsl:variable name= "line">
<select>
<option value="'11'">11</option>
<option value="'12'">12</option>
<option value="'13'">13</option>
</select>
</xsl:variable>

I want to fill the variable with a drop down selection. and then use the variable in the document.


What i do is opening the xml en then it generates a display based on the xsl sheet.

i hope some one can help me.

whoa that is indeed funky. Does removing the double back slash do anything? can the program get a variable? You might be able to get away with it if you store the url as a variable. but i'm not so sure about.
