I'm having a few issues with a serach function in Internet Explorer, it works fine in firefox which is very annoying.

What basically is happening, is the a form is sumbitting and posting info across, but on itself and then this is transfered into a php variable which is used on the query. Default values have been assigned if the isset of the form is not true.

So I believe the issue is occuring on the " if(isset($_POST['submit'])) " but as stated it works perfectly fine in firefox. Any suggestions?

Hi,

I have a form on my page.

<form id="advanced_search" name="advanced_search" method="POST" action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF;?>">

</form>

Form submits with a regular button
<input type="submit" name="advSearch" id="advSearch" value="Search" />

And i have a detector to see where submit button has been clicked on my next page:
if(isset($_POST['advSearch'])) {
    echo "Button was clicked";
}

However, I wanted a custom button for better styling and control.
So i replaced my regular button with this now which uses javascript to submit the form.

<a class="button" href="javascript:document.advanced_search.submit()" name="advSearch" id="advSearch"><span>Search</span></a>

Now the isset($_POST) is not working anymore.
Can anyone help please??

Thanks!

If I wanted to make multiple fields required before letting a User move past the field is this the proper way to do it?


Code: [Select]
if(isSet($_POST['playerFirst']['playerLast']['feet']['inches']['year']['status']))
{
## Something
}
else
{
## Something else
}

  I read ages ago (and checked to see if it's true, it was and given how it works, it must still be) the end user can alter the value of any form field, using Firebug or similar, before submitting it.



  Two things I've figured out today:

 1) a form input doesn't need a value - doesn't even need the attribute - if you're only checking whether the POST var isset and the actual value isn't important

 2) Although it appears not to matter in the example I'm working on now, if the script doesn't check what the value is, and potentially sanitise it, the user could submit the form with any value, true, false, malicious, idk...


  So my question is: is this one of the ways malicious bad things can happen and do I *have to* specify a value, not because the script won't work without it, it does, but because in the real world it opens a security door if I don't check for malicious script by saying "if value not as expected, script has to die".



  Having formulated the question properly and thought about it I can't imagine simply making a form, without obvious connections to anything important, could be a problem in the way I'm asking about but I asked it now so

why doesn't this work?

Code: [Select]
<form action="<? echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post">
<input type="text" id="name" name="name" size="20" /></p>
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" alt="Submit" />
</form>


<?
if($name != "") {
$xml = simplexml_load_file("invoice.xml");
$sxe = new SimpleXMLElement($xml->asXML());
$itemsNode = $sxe->data[0];
$main = $itemsNode->addChild(inv);
$sub = $main->addChild("name", $name);
$sxe->asXML("invoice.xml");
}
?>

The existing xml file looks like this:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
 <data>
  <inv>               
    <name>Sally Prince</name>
  </inv>
 </data>
</root>

And, my intention is is I fill out the form with "Bill Gates" the xml will become:

Code: [Select]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
 <data>
  <inv>               
    <name>Sally Prince</name>
  </inv>
  <inv>               
    <name>Bill Gates</name>
  </inv>
 </data>
</root>

Also if I just set

Code: [Select]
$name = "Bill Gates"
it works.. but the form will not pass the data to the xml.. what am I missing?

Thanks!

Hi all, not sure if this belongs in the Javascript section or PHP...

I have a 3 pages, Index.php, a Javascript file and my display.php page.

My Index page has a list of inputs which populate the variables in my javascript file when exectued, the javascript file then uses these variables to perform simple mathematical calculations and then displays the data using the innerHTML function back on my index page.

From the index page I need to then post all my values, including these in the innerHTML div's as a POST array to my display.php only im unsure where to start.

Hopefully thaat makes sense, would anybody have any idea on how to do this?

Thanks

Ok so I've got trouble with a form I'm creating, I've got this:
<form id="login" name="login" action="URL"

          method="post">
and then Input fields like:
<input tabindex="3" type="text" class="login-field" name="acc.username" id="login-username"

                           value="" maxlength="48"/>

Now, if I go and submit that, and on the "URL" page I've had it echo $_POST['acc.username'] but it doesn't echo anything. I think it may be a problem with the form itself.. although I can't see one.

The code I got for URL:
<?PHP 
include('global.php');

if(isset($_POST['acc.username'])) 
{
echo "lol";
}
else
{
echo mysql_error();
}
?>

How can i make a send POST FORM from this api:

Hi, I am having a problem with my form.  It posts fine on Firefox 3.6 on my MAC, but not on Safari 5 on my MAC.  It also does not work Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4 or Google Chrome on a windows box.   Basically it posts back to itself, no email is sent and it does not hit my sql database.

Here is the pertinent code to my index.html file...
Code: [Select]
<script type="text/javascript">
function showMonth(str)
{
if (str=="")
  {
  document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML="";
  return;
  }
if (window.XMLHttpRequest)
  {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari
  xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest();
  }
else
  {// code for IE6, IE5
  xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange=function()
  {
  if (xmlhttp.readyState==4 && xmlhttp.status==200)
    {
    document.getElementById("txtHint").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText;
    }
  }
xmlhttp.open("GET","reserv.php?q="+str,true);
xmlhttp.send();
}
</script>
 <form method="post" action="resersend.php">
<p><font face="arial" size="2" color="#336600">Reservation month:</font>
<select name="months" onchange="showMonth(this.value)">
<option value="" selected="selected">Choose One</option>
<option value="May 2011">May 2011</option>
<option value="June 2011">June 2011</option>
<option value="July 2011">July 2011</option>
<option value="August 2011">August 2011</option>
<option value="September 2011">September 2011</option>
<option value="October 2011">October 2011</option>
<option value="November 2011">November 2011</option>

Anyone have any ideas?  I suspect it may have to do with the javascript in the index.html file, but I can't nail it down.  Thanks.

please help !!!! i would appreciate

Hi I am really getting  with validating a drop down box in my form for posting

I have set all the <options> in html form as followed:

<form method="post" action="thankyou.php">
                       
<?php
$ipi = getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");
$httprefi = getenv ("HTTP_REFERER");
$httpagenti = getenv ("HTTP_USER_AGENT");
?>
                        <input type="hidden" name="ip" value="<?php echo $ipi ?>" />
                        <input type="hidden" name="httpref" value="<?php echo $httprefi ?>" />
                        <input type="hidden" name="httpagent" value="<?php echo $httpagenti ?>" />

<select name="visitortitle">
                              <option>Please Select</option>
                              <option value="Mr">Mr</option>
                              <option value="Mrs">Mrs</option>
                              <option value="Miss">Miss</option>
                              <option value="Ms">Ms</option>
                              <option value="Dr">Dr</option>
                            </select>

</form>

now I'm trying to find a way to validate it in the .php sending side and using this:

<?php

$visitortitle = $_POST['visitortitle'];

if (!isset($visitortitle)) {
echo $visitortitle;
}

mail("email@domain.com", $subject, $message, $from);

?>

I have tried so many different ways with - if (!isset  - but cant get the send mail to recognise the drop down menu selection!!!!

Any help would really be appreciated as I'm not that up on php coding.

Thanks in advance.
