HTML - Isplay Users Information Into Form Fields
Hello,
I want to display users information into form fields if they are logged in. Is it possible to retrieve the data from mysql and display it in the form widgets ? Or should I create a complete new page ? (I would like user to be able to modify the text and automatically submit it to mysql). thanks Similar TutorialsI've scoured the web for tutorials for this, but either there aren't many out there or I'm not entering the right keywords. I have (what I consider to be) a fairly secure knowledge of XHTML and CSS, but forms continue to baffle me. I've created a basic form: <form name="contact us"> <p>Name: <input type="text" name="name" /></p> <p>Email: <input type="text" name="email" /></p> <p>Subject: <input type="text" name="subject" /></p> <p>Content: <textarea name="comments" cols="40" rows="6"></textarea></p> <p><input type="submit" value="Submit" /></p> </form> How do I now receive the information the person has entered? I'd rather it didn't open their email client: I just want them to click the submit button and get a 'thank you, received your info' page. I don't mind how I receive the information, just as long as it gets to me! Thank you for your time. Amandine. I've got a form setup where it takes the user to a new page when they submit their information. If they didn't enter a valid email address it tells them to go back and fix it. When returning to the page though all of the input fields are reset to blank. I found this script that fixes it. But I could have sworn that it was possible to remedy this without javascript. Am I wrong? Hi all, I have an exam form wherein a student fills up all the details of the exam ad clicks on submit. The data is stored in an access database. I need to send all the fields in the form to an address specified in the form field as well as a confirmation email to a specific address. Please let me know how do i resolve this Regards, Nimish. Forgive me if this seems like a stupid question but I need help... I'm trying to do a simple online form that emails me the results from a few fields. Here is the code: Code: <form action="http://cm1web1/WebSurveyComponents/script/processform.asp" method="post"> <!-- Mandatory "hidden" objects --> <p> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" readonly value="Suggestion"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Name"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Email"> <input type="hidden" name="strInputElements" value="Business Unit"> <input type="hidden" name="intSendMode" readonly value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="strSendParms" readonly value="mark@website.com,CSPS Intranet Suggestion Box"> Name: <input type=text name="Name"> <br>(optional, but required if you would like a response to your comments or suggestions)</p> <p>Email: <input type=text name="Email"> <br>(optional) </p> <p>Business unit: <input type=text name="Business Unit"> <br>(optional) </p> <p> <textarea name="Suggestion" rows="12" cols="40">Write your feedback or suggestion here</textarea> <br> <br> <input name="Send" type="submit" value="Send"> <input name="Clear" type="reset" value="Clear"> </p> <p>(Unless you fill in your name and/or email, this form is completely anonymous)</p> </form> And the email I receive looks like this... Field = Suggestion Response = Write your feedback or suggestion here Field = Name Response = Field = Email Response = Field = Business Unit Response = The "Suggestion" field works fine, but the Name, Email and Business Unit fields all come through with blank responses. Any ideas? Thanks! Mark I have a problem with my mandatory fields in the fact that i know not on how to make them mandatory. normally on a web page mandatory fields are yellow or sometimes other colours, and the non-mandatory fields are normally white. well i do have 3 yellow boxes on my page and then the rest are white, but the yellow boxes are not mandatory! I would like them to be but they are not. any help on how to make fields mandatory? http://prokix.com/OnlineRegistration.htm is the webpage Hi All, I have 2 buttons that need to be placed side by side and link to Paypal. I have used the "display:inline" on both forms and with the fields I need to hide, the "type=hidden" When I view the page in Firefox all looks, but in IE, although the hidden fields are hidden, they are still taking up space. So the two buttons are not sitting next to each other, there is a big gap where the 'hidden' layers would be. Anyone have any ideas how I can get around this? Many thanks I'm stuck. I've got a form up, just about ready to go public, but I need to set it so that certain fields are required. In the past I've done this without any problem... Usually using just a hidden field, value="required" and listing the fields that are required. But, for some reason, it's not working on this form. Here's the form: http://www.weddingsbybelles.com/contact/survey.htm Quick fix? Is there another easy alternative? Any idea why my old standby stopped working? Hello Does anyone knows since when (or which html version) it is allowed to define form input names as arrays such as: ex: <form ...> <input name="MyArray[email]" /> <input name="MyArray[phone]" /> </form> Hi all, I need your help. I have created an HTML web form that's processed by a PHP script. It works absolutely fine but I now need to do add a couple of conditional fields on this in this HTML Form which I don't know how to. The first field in the form is Presenter's Name. Underneath this field, I want to have a checkbox stating "Click here if additional Presenters". As soon as this option is checked off, a new input text field should appear underneath it and at the bottom of the form, a text box should appear for additional presenter's bio. How do I do that? Thanks a trillion in advance for your help. I am trying to amend an existing form so that some fields are mandatory. So far this is what I've have on the script right before </head> tag: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> function checkForm(frm){ msg = ""; if(!frm.name.value){ msg += "- Name is required\n"; } if(!frm.phone.value){ msg += "- Phone is required\n"; } if(!frm.email.value){ msg += "- Email is required\n"; } if(msg != ""){ alert(msg); return false; } } </script> and on at the begining of the form itself I have: Code: <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="contact1.php" onsubmit="return checkForm(this)"> <input type="text" name="name" id="name"><br> <input type="text" name="email" id="email" style="margin-top:3px "><br> <input type="text" name="phone" id="phone" style="margin-top:3px "><br> But when I get the form back on my test email all the fields are empty! Here here my contact.php: PHP Code: <? $subject="Booking Table from ".$_GET['name'] ; $headers= "From: ".$_GET['email']."\n"; $headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'; mail("contactatalexotero.co.uk", $subject, " <html> <head> <title>Book Table</title> </head> <body> <br>Phone Number ".$_GET['phone']." <br>Number of people ".$_GET['people']." <br>Where? ".$_GET['where']." <br>Time ".$_GET['time']." <br>Date ".$_GET['day']."/ ".$_GET['month']."/ ".$_GET['year']." <br>Message ".$_GET['message']." </body> </html>" , $headers); echo ("Your message was successfully sent! We will contact you shortly to confirm your table!"); ?> <script> window.close </script> What do I do wrong? Please help me Is there a way to insure that all form fields are reset to empty or default values upon entry to the page that contains the form? I'm asking this because if someone has already submitted a form and arrives at the next screen, that form has already been logged. If they go back, it gets logged again and I don't want that. I would prefer that the solution would involve HTML &/or PHP because many people have Java script disabled. But, if it can't be done with HTML or PHP, then so be it. I'll have to use Javascript. My first thought was to somehow disable the "Back" button but that is probably offensive to many, and I wouldn't want to alienate anyone. Maybe someone on this forum might have the answer to my question or may be able to suggest another approch I could use. Thanking you in advance, Roy I've honest to god looked for 2 days for tutorials and pre set up scripts for this but cannot understand any of it. could someone please make all of my friends required, except for the radio buttons. i just need at least one of them selected. id really appreciate it. thank you.

What code do i use to make the fields mandatory Thanks In advance Richard Hello, On a form I'm working on, I've set up the address fields as required. However, if the user selects the "International Residence" option, I'd like the address fields to be not required. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thanks a bunch, Mike I have created a nice Newsletter Registration form, but I would really like to modify the form so that instead of displaying the browsers default images for text fields, checkboxes, etc, I want it to display my images that I have created.

NOT html, it is only to show you guys).... {www/cgi-bin/formmail.pl } ...... thank you in advance.. Hi, I'm brand-new to the forum, and brand-new to html. I'm attempting to modify a form on my website. I had hoped I could avoid learning html by having someone else design my website, but it's becoming increasingly frustrating to go through him for every minor change (not to mention expensive). So, I'm basically learning html while changing this form, and I know it's not a real pretty script, but I just need it to do its job. After 5 hours of work on it, I thought it was just perfect. Every time I made one or two change, I uploaded it, and tested the form before saving it and moving on. It was going fine, until the last changes (removing the required validation on several fields)--now the form submits even when not a single field is filled in. Even undoing the changes and going back to the previous version doesn't help... Here's the original: http://www.cbellisfunding.com/capital_request_form.html And here's my edited version: http://www.cbellisfunding.com/capita...0modified.html Feel free to try the form out; I don't mind the docs in my inbox if it helps troubleshoot. I would greatly appreciate any constructive input! Thank you! ~Michelle~ oh, by the way, I ran the html validation software and it came up with 193 errors (!). All of them were my programmer's, not mine. (I change only a few very specific things) Many were closing code, and I hand-fixed those. The rest I haven't a clue how important they are to repair, since the web form has worked with them so far... |
