Hi all,

However I keep getting malformed multipart post. My set up is Debian Etch/Mozilla 5.0x.

This scrip is picked up by checking the global $_POST variable for 'upload'. This works fine and my PHP script does the upload when I only select one file (using either one), but when both are filled in for some reason the global $_POST variable is empty, so my script will not run. Before looking down the PHP route I'm wondering if everything is ok with my form, or if there is some error that I am missing that is causing this problem? Any help is greatly appciated. Thanks. Code: <form action="" method="post" name="client-balances-selection" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <div id="current-balances"> <h3>Current client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="current_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <div id="past-balances"> <h3>Past client balances</h3> <input type="file" name="past_balances" class="file_upload" /> </div> <input type="submit" name="upload" class="button-primary" value=<?php _e('Compare'); ?> /> <input type="submit" name="delete" class="button-delete" value=<?php _e('Delete old files'); ?> /> </form> I was looking at w3schools.com and was reading about <Form> but i found a line that i dont know what means so i wanted to hear if U guys could tell me the meaning in some other ways so i might understandt it The line is this: This method sends the form-data as an HTTP post transaction... I dont understandt what they mean with the HTTP post transaction. THX U for the help Hello all, I am having trouble pasting this html into my content management system and am looking for a solution.

Each just gets information, but the second step doesn't ultimately post to the url it's supposed to go to. What's up with this? I have the same type of web form working elsewhere (orange.977mb.com) but this one doesn't seem to want to work. It's posting to a https site, but you can see the code just by going to the web form and checking it out. If you fill in the information, make it clear that it's testing stuff Thanks! Is it possible in to "post" to 2 different Url's on 2 different servers from just 1 form on a html page? I have used form mail scripts elswhere with success. What would the html look like? I have tried a few different ways and have only been able to call whichever script location I list fisrt. Any help appreciated! HI, I just started here... like two minutes ago. I NEED help on getting a form to automatically post to a page on my website. So, i'm making a class website, right, and I need my teacher to be able to post stuff on a page and have it erase what was already on there (every week). My teacher does not know html, so I would like to have a text box automatically edit the page, I am a medium web designer... but I do not know ANYTHING about this, I have searched EVERYWHERE and couldn't find ANYTHING. It got so annoying that I gave up for about 6 months... until today, which is why I'm asking this. By the way, I would also like "Contact us" forms to go directly to my email, WITHOUT any CRAPPY websites (like the one I'm using now) any help would be very appreciated!! I hope I've posted this in the right place, apologies in advance if I haven't. I'm trying to post multiple XML files using a HTML form. The code I'm using is below and although I am able to select multiple files in Mozilla Firefox it is only ever successfully uploading one file. I need to be able to post 100s of XMLs in a single post, as well as receiving the responses for all uploaded files. I have no experience in this type of thing before, is someone able to assist me and am I even on the right track? Heeelp! <h2>Upload</h2> <form ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" action="https://asp.test.com.au/ttms/sandbox/ws/external/public/client-profile-xml/multi/receiver" method="POST"> <input type="file" name="linkfile" multiple="multiple"> <br/> <input type="submit"> </form> I'm looking to write a form with input fields which, upon submitting, would post to a specific forum. Now, I'm not sure if this is some kind of javascript trickery or something (I am far from familiar with JS). Here's an example of this page: http://www.violentrevolution.net/e10...y/survey.php?2 Now, what happens upon submitting that forum, the information is posted to a forum where clan members can discuss the application. I'm looking to replicate that function, but I've gone over the code and I can't seem to see the modularity of it (i.e. changing the forum to which it posts). Thanks for any help in advance. So i want to Post and Get in the same form for reasons of keeping the URL looking clean. I need to pass a PHP array through to the next page, and I don't want random gibberish in the URL. So, I can just Post this, but this is for a search page, and it would be nice to Get their search query for the reasons of the advantage of Get over Post, and because it looks better in my opinion. Anyways. The thing I am posting takes no user input, and it is defined in the beginning of the page. The thing I want to Get is user defined in a textbox. So, I need the method of the Form to be Get, but is it possible to also Post something? Thanks, If i wasn't clear i'm sorry and i'll try to explain it better. Hello all mates! I am working with my forum trying to properly edit the html for the posts so that they will display any custom script/html of my choice. I want this to appear in ONLY the first post in every thread. I am also trying to find out how to make a bot that automatically posts another second post in every thread, with my own custom scripts/html. At the moment I am trying to add some adsense ads this way. What I am looking for is two things: 1 - How to get the adsense ad aligned to either right or left of the text within the first post. 2 - How to get an adsense bot autopost an ad as post number 2 in any thread (including being applied to all threads already existing) I am using IPB3. I previously used Adsense Bot for IPB2, and that worked fine, but it is not supported for IPB3. It uses the Universal Mod Installer, and in IPB3 there is a new "hook" feature to ass custom mods etc, but I do not know how to alter the code for the Adsense Bot to work with IPB3 so I am trying to get it done from scratch by adding codes directly into the templates. If anyone know how to configure / modify the old Adsense Bot to work with IPB3 that would be great of course, so I am attaching it here just in case someone wants to take a look at it and its documentation and scripts. But primarily I am looking for the two mentioned features, one is how to get the script running in ONLY the first post of every thread - at the moment I got it running, but it is global and implements into all posts not only the first. I also have figured out how to make a script appear, such as an ad, between posts, but not after ONLY the first post, nor how to make a bot that posts a post just like any member, which is what I am really looking for when it comes to that part. This is the code I have entered into the topicViewTemplate in Topic View: Code: {parse template="aip" group="topic" params="$post"} <div style="display:block;float:right;margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;"> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3737464431076938"; /* forum posts large recnt */ google_ad_slot = "6548059149"; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </div> This works perfectly for adding my desired custom script embedded within the posts. The problem is that it gets embedded in ALL posts and not only the first as I would want. Here is a link to my forum for an example on how it looks: http://www.conspiraciesforums.com/fo...ic/3-atlantis/ I know I have to edit/add some code regarding post counts etc to configure it to only affect the first post - my question is how to do that? And as seen, the second post shows the ad as well, here I would want a bot to post a post containing another ad - between the first and third post of every thread (which will be standard members posts). I have messed my brain with this for more than a week now trying different things, looking around at forums, googling, trying scripts and so on, mods etc, but as of yet have not found the solution to these things for IPB3. Any help here would be extremely greatly appreciated and I'll buy you a beer if you're ever around my part of the world! :p Thanks and bless you! -M Hi All - I'm new to the forums and also somewhat new to web development. I'm trying to scrape together a website for my wedding and have managed my way through most of it, however the RSVP form is killing me. I believe the page is working fine with FF3 - at least it does what I want it to do. In IE7 however, when the submit button is pressed IE appears to hang, and status bar reads "waiting for rsvp2.php". The page never appears, however the file creation on the back end does complete successfully, so it IS doing something. I have changed the form method to "get" and IE seems to proceed normally, but I don't want to use this as a permanent solution. The URL is below and any help would be greatly appreciated. If there isn't enough information please let me know! www.nikiandzack.com/rsvp.php Thanks, Zack Hi I was wondering if someone could help me out with a project I working on at my work. I have created a simple form web page that the sales people use to send a request to the help desk Everything works fine except my boss doesnt like the output of the email that gets generated to the helpdesk when someone clicks the send button. How can I change the format of the posted email?? I am interested in having a web format or some sort of word document attachment. this is what I have coded right now method="POST" enctype="text/plain"> I need just a small text box and a submit button, when the text is written in the box, and submit pressed, it would change a code value. For example, if my code is: <input type="hidden" name="return_url_target" value="1"> I type in the text box 3, and press submit, then code is: <input type="hidden" name="return_url_target" value="3"> Lastly, it would need to be pre defined values (but not visibly), so for example, it would change target code value to 3, but not 4 even if you tried. If it is not too much trouble, i would love to have a version without a pre defined value, and one with a visible pre determined values (for example, shows all possible values when clicked, if you can just tell me the code, i can change it myself). Is this doable? This is the only thing that I need for my website, and I dont want to spend hours to learn a language, that I'm only going to use once. I would be truly grateful if someone would help me just a bit Dear group: My html skills are, according to the programmers on USENET, "circa 1987." And I'm sure this is true; I'm self-taught and have not learned CSS yet. Yet my pages seem to work, and I'm making an okay income. However, on some of my pages there is a line in the right margin of the central box and I'm not able to remove it, no matter what I try. I tried changing the size of the main, central box, and also tried adding centers. Nothing seems to work. This doesn't occur on my other 300 or so pages, so it's some small thing I'm not seeing. Could someone help me with this? I'm stuck. Page is at: http://beststudentviolins.com/resources.html <gnashing of teeth> Thanks!!! |
