PHP - Form Data Into Mysql
I've got a form on my site, with a textbox...and the info is sent to a db.
How would I get the textbox info to be displayed the same as it was entered? For instance if I put in an address: 11 Street Town City PostCode It gets displayed like: 11StreetTownCityPostCode How could I have it so when I press enter it actually adds a <br> or something to the db? Thanks. Similar TutorialsI have a form on our website that a user can fill out for custom product. I want the form data to be 1) stored into a mysql database AND after storing said data, 2) email the same data to our sales department. 1) The form data DOES get stored into mysql database (except for the first two fields, for some weird reason) 2) I added a "mail" section to the php file that stores the data into the database, but it is not working correctly. I have stripped the email portion down to sending just one of the fields in the "message" to make it easier for troubleshooting I have included here, both the form section of the html file, and the formdata.php file that processes the data for your analysis. I am relatively new to php so there are going to be some issues with security, but I can work on those after I get the store & email process to work correctly. Please review my code and see if anyone can be of assistance. I looked through the forums and couldn't find another issue that was the same as mine. If I just overlooked, please tell me the thread post #.

Hi. I'm making a private webpage for my self where i can post news, games, music titles and movies. I'm made it so that i can post and delete them from my page. Also i wanted to have the option to edit them. So i made a action that shows me a list og the posts in each category. And then i want the option to hit UPDATE, and then it should open the form with the info's from MySQL. I've made those two options as the following: Code: [Select] elseif ( $action == "EditNews" ) { // EDIT NEWS START if ( !$_GET['id'] ) { ?> <div id="content"> <?php $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news") or die(mysql_error()); while ( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql) ) { echo "<a href=\"?page=Admin&action=UpdateNews&id=" . $row['news_id'] . "\">Update</a> | " . $row['subject'] . "<br>"; } echo "</div>"; } else { $type = $_GET['type']; $id = $_GET['id']; } // EDIT NEWS END } elseif ( $action == "UpdateNews" ) { // UPDATE NEWS START if ( !$_POST['submit'] ) { $id = $_GET['id']; $sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM news WHERE news_id='$id'") or die(mysql_error()); $user_id = $_SESSION['uid']; $subject = $_row['subject']; $body = nl2br($_row['body']); ?> <div id="content"> <form action="?page=Admin&action=EditNews" method="post"> <div id="">Subject</div> <div id=""><input id="input" type="text" name="subject"></div> <div id="">Message</div> <div id=""><textarea id="input" name='body' cols='15' rows='4'></textarea></div> <div id=""><input id="submit" class="input" type="submit" name="submit" value="Post News"></div> </form> </div> <?php } else { ?> <div id="content">Not Working!</div> <?php } // UPDATE NEWS END } - I know i miss something, but i've tried to get to the point, where i only have the form as blank, and need some help from there. I hope someone can help me with my problem. MOD EDIT: [code] . . . [/code] tags added. I'm trying to add some data into my database through a form interface, but this form submits even when the page loads. This means the form submits regardless of the validation I have set in place, so every time the page is loaded, the database receives empty fields. Could you guys please help me with my problem?

I am creating my first database and while I have been able to connect to the database within my php script (or so I believe), the form data does not appear to be actually getting sent. I have development experience in other languages but this is completely new to me so if I've missed something that appears painfully obvious like a parse error of some sort, I do apologize. I am creating a website using Godaddy as the hosting account, and attempting to connect to the mysql database at the following URL (maybe this is where I'm going wrong): "pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com" Below is my very simple code: <?php //Verify successful connection to database. $connect = mysql_connect("pnmailinglist.db.4662743.hostedresource.com", "*********", "*********"); if(!$connect) {die("Could not connect!"); } //Initialize variables with form data. $firstname = $_POST['FirstName']; $lastname = $_POST['LastName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $howfound = $_POST['HowFound']; //Post data to database, or return error. mysql_select_db("pnmailinglist", $connect); mysql_query("INSERT INTO mailinglist (First, Last, Email, How_Found) VALUES ($firstname,$lastname,$email,$howfound)"); mysql_close($connect); echo "Thank you for joining our mailing list! We will contact you soon with the dates and times of our upcoming events."; ?> Thank you again very much for any pointers or hints as to where I'm screwing up. I get no runtime errors, no syntax errors, and the echo message does display fine at the end -- just no data when I go to check my database! Best Regards, CL I am having difficulty inserting the following codes values into my database. I know that the variables contain a value as I am displaying them on the output screen. Code: [Select] $link = mysql_connect($db_host,$db_user,$db_pass) or die('Unable to establish a DB connection'); mysql_select_db($db_database,$link); mysql_query("SET names UTF8"); $usr = $userid; $golfer = $_REQUEST['golfer']; $tourney = $_REQUEST['tournament']; $backup = $_REQUEST['backup']; date_default_timezone_set('US/Eastern'); $time = date("Y-m-d H:i:s"); $t_id=1; mysql_query("INSERT INTO weekly_picks (t_id, tournament, user, player, backup, timestamp) VALUES ('$t_id', '$tournament', '$usr', '$golfer', '$backup', '$time') or die('Error, insert query failed')"); echo $t_id; echo "<br />"; echo $tourney; echo "<br />"; echo $usr; echo "<br />"; echo $golfer; echo "<br />"; echo $backup; echo "<br />"; echo $time; echo "<br />"; echo $userdetail['email']; echo "<br />"; $to = $userdetail['email']; $subject = "Weekly Tournament Pick for: $tourney"; $message = "This email is to confirm your pick for $tourney has been received.

I am trying to get the names of countries that are in a database table. It's not working! All I get is a Submit button, but no data. This is what I understand from the code that Psycho suggested: I am unfamiliar with the function and the use of the FOREACH constuct. looking at the PHP manual there are two syntaxes. It appears that Psyhco has used the second form where the current element's key is assigned to $key variable for each itteration. foreach (array_expression as $key => $value The 2 variables he used are $id and $label I assume that the line: $optionsHTML = ''; is the array built from the expression: $optionsHTML .= "{$label}\n"; Because I was not familiar with the PDO method, but have used mysqli, I had to rewrite the data retrival part which I believe is OK. I guess that the line : $countryOptions = buildSelectOptions($countries); is used in conjunction with the function to build the array. The HTML part that Psycho wrote puts the variable into the Form format for a selection list. Why is the $optionsHTML also inclosed in the option tags? Have I got the HTML part correct or is it the data extraction part that is incorrect? Here is the code:
<?
include("AddStats_admin_connect.php");
//connect to database
doDB();
//Function to build select options based on passed array
function buildSelectOptions($options)
{
$optionsHTML = '';
foreach($options as $id => $label)
{
$optionsHTML .= "<option value='{$id}'>{$label}</option>\n";
}
return $optionsHTML;
}
//Run query to get the ID and Name from the table
//Then populate into an array
$clist_sql = "SELECT CID, Country FROM Countries";
$clist_res= mysqli_query($mysqli, $clist_sql) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
if (mysqli_num_rows($clist_res) < 1) {
//this Country not exist
$display_block = "<p><em>You have selected an invalid Country.<br/>
Please try again.</em></p>";
}
$countries = array();
while($Ctry_info = mysqli_fetch_array($clist_res)) {
$countries[$Ctry_info['CID'] = $Ctry_info['Country']];
}
$countryOptions = buildSelectOptions($countries);

I set a one <form> on every form field I have including the submit button. Now whenever I press the submit button it redirects to insertvalues.php which it should be doing. In insertvalues i told it to query the form data and post it into my database's table. Its not doing that and tells me that it has a database error which i set it to tell me if something goes wrong. Anyone can help me? BTW I can manually query in the information using sql with phpmyadmin. so can someone please review my code for me? thanks big help! You can see what is happening. Visit www.chronoserve.com The username and password are "admin" Basically what I am needing is when a visitor comes to my site and request info on a product, the form sends the product id or name.
I have the site set up like product.php?Item=26 and the item number changes based on the product. The page items are being populated with info stored in the mysql databse.
I need the email being sent to say something like

Any ideas? Thanks. MOD EDIT: code tags added. Hey guys, New to the forum and a newer user of PHP / MySQL. I am having trouble with some code I've written up. I don't seem to get any errors when running it, but it's not updating my database the way that it should. hopefully a simple fix. I am thinking that it must be on the MySQL side of things. Couple of things to start. My html form is comprised completely of drop down list inputs. I'm the only user so I thought this would be the easiest approach. Because of that I've made my PHP as follows: Code: [Select] <?php $season = $_POST['season']; $month = $_POST['month']; $day = $_POST['day']; $year = $_POST['year']; $time = $_POST['time']; $event = $_POST['event']; $game = $_POST['game']; $buyin = $_POST['buyin']; $connect = mysql_connect('localhost','root','') or die('can not connect'); if ($connect) { echo "connected to database"; } $db = mysql_select_db('dpl') or die('can not find database'); if ($db) { echo "DPL Selected"; } $query = sprintf("INSERT INTO events (season , month , day , year , time , event , game , buyin) VALUES ('%s' , '%s' , '%s' , '%s' , '%s' , '%s' , '%s' , '%s')", $season , $month , $day , $year , $time , $event , $game , $buyin ); if ($query) { echo "Your event has been added"; } ?> My connection is working, my database is selected and I'm even now getting confirmation that my query is working, but when i go to check my database there are no entries in it? any thoughts? I've tried the drop down variables as both VARCHAR and TEXT inputs in MySQL, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any help is greatly appreciated. Hi, Is there a way to send extracted information from one (local) MySQL db, via PHP, to an external web form - having that web form submit that info to it's connected MySQL db without human interaction? Basically, I need to automate a process using the $_GET function to that form but not sure if there is a way to accomplish this from just connecting to the web form (itself); bypassing direct MySQL access which is the later option. Any input appreciated - thanks! Not sure exactly what my problem is here, but i have looked at this at least a hundred times and I just can't figure out what is going on. Everything works great except for the sending the email part. It displays the error "There was a problem sending the mail". The form field checking works fine, the insert into mysql works fine - - but it won't send the email. I have tried using double quotes and single quotes for the email information ($to, $subject, etc...) I have even eliminated the form data from the email information and it still doesn't send. I am hopelessly stuck at this point Any ideas?? Code below: <html> <body bgcolor = 'blue'> <div align = 'center'> <h1>test FORM</h1> </div> <p> <?php If ($_POST['submit']) //if the Submit button pressed { //collect form data $fname = $_POST['FName']; $lname = $_POST['LName']; $email = $_POST['Email']; $tel = $_POST['Tel']; $mess = $_POST['Mess']; $errorstring = ""; if (!$fname) $errorstring = $errorstring."First Name<br>"; if (!$lname) $errorstring = $errorstring."Last Name<br>"; if (!$email) $errorstring = $errorstring."Email<br>"; if ($errorstring !="") echo "<div align = 'center'><b>Please fill out the following fields:</b><br><font color = 'red'><b>$errorstring</b></font></div>"; else { $fname = mysql_real_escape_string($fname); $lname = mysql_real_escape_string($lname); $email = mysql_real_escape_string($email); $tel = mysql_real_escape_string($tel); $mess = mysql_real_escape_string($mess); $con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password"); if (!$con) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } mysql_select_db("mec", $con); $sql="INSERT INTO formtest (FName, LName, Title, Tel, Email, Mess) VALUES ('$fname','$lname','$title','$tel','$email','$mess')"; if (!mysql_query($sql,$con)) { die('Error: ' . mysql_error()); } $to = 'myemailaddress'; $subject = 'test form'; $message = 'Hello'; $headers = 'From Me'; $sent = mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers); if($sent) {print "Email successfully sent";} else {print "There was an error sending the mail";} mysql_close($con); } } ?> <p> <form action= 'testmecform.php' method= 'POST'> <table width = '640' border = '0' align = 'center'> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>First Name</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'FName' value = '<?php echo $fname; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td><div align = 'right'><b>Telephone</b></div></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'Tel' value = '<?php echo $tel; ?>' size = '25'></td> </tr> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>Last Name</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'LName' value = '<?php echo $lname; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align = 'right'><b>Email</b></td> <td><input type = 'text' name = 'Email' value = '<?php echo $email; ?>' size = '25'></td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><b>Please enter any additional information he </b></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><textarea name = 'Mess' cols = '50' rows = '10'><?php echo $mess; ?></textarea></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><b>Please make sure all information is correct before submitting</b></th> </tr> <tr> <th colspan = '4'><input type = 'submit' name = 'submit' value = 'Submit Form'></th> </tr> </table> </form> </body> </html> Hi there I have a MySQL database table that has multiple records which look like (1, Which of these are your favorite color(s)?, Red||Blue||Orange||Green, question-type1 ) I have written some PHP code in extracting that data into a HTML form. (The above data looks like a question with multiple options (radio buttons/checkboxes) below it). Below is what I'm trying to achieve: When the action is Submit: store the question number, user responses of the options , time stamp and user name into a new database table. I came to know that passing arrays will do the job, but I got stuck in the middle. Please see the attached documents that has the code. TIA [attachment deleted by admin] Hello Im quite confused at what filtering I should use on my data when pulling it from a MySQL database. I don't sanitize my data on input because I am using prepared statements with PHP's PDO Driver which means I don't need to use mysql_real_escape_string() at all. When I pull the data to be displayed i.e. in a HTML Table I use the below function to make it safe for HTML output. public static function htmlSafe($data) { return nl2br(htmlentities($data, ENT_QUOTES)); } However the rules change when Im using a HTML Form to edit the data, and I am unsure what I need to strip out. I.e. What would I need to do to make all data safe to insert into the following form input. <input id = "someInput" type = "text" value = "<?php echo $someVarThatNeedsFiltering ?>" /> Also, one more question, in my html attributes (Valid ones like class, name, id, style, _target) I use a mixture of double quotes(") and single quotes ('), for quoting my values. Which one should I use or which one is more valid, doubles, or singles? I had this working, but when I try and get fancy and use AJAX the data doesn't display. I think this is a PHP problem though. My code for the select form including AJAX code Code: [Select] <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en-GB"> <head> <title>AJAX Example</title> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Form.css" media="screen" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ $("tr:odd").addClass("odd"); }); </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function showPlayers(str) { var xmlhttp; if (str=="") { document.getElementById("DataDisplay").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("DataDisplay").innerHTML=xmlhttp.responseText; } } xmlhttp.open("GET","Query.php?category_id="+str,true); xmlhttp.send(); } </script> </head> <body> <h1">AJAX Example</h1> <?php #connect to MySQL $conn = @mysql_connect( "localhost","username","pw") or die( "You did not successfully connect to the DB!" ); #select the specified database $rs = @mysql_SELECT_DB ("MyDB", $conn ) or die ( "Error connecting to the database test!"); ?> <form name="sports" id="sports"> <legend>Select a Sport</legend> <select name="category_id" onChange="showPlayers(this.value)"> <option value="">Select a Sport:</option> <?php $sql = "SELECT category_id, sport FROM sports ".

When I echo out the SQL the result is Code: [Select] SELECT * FROM sports INNER JOIN players ON sports.category_id = players.category_id WHERE players.category_id = '' so the category_id is not being selected properly and that is the primary key/foreign key in the MySQL table which connects the JOIN. so what i have going on is that i need help writing a basic script to upload original and copy with resize for thumbnail. then also need to rename both image files with content in the form. My server supports GD Library and that imagemagik or whatever it is lol. upload dirs orig: ../media/photos/ thumb: ../media/photos/thumb/ mySQL DB: name: m_photos fields: id(INT) m_cat(varchar) m_sub_cat(varchar) pic(varchar) description(varchar) p_group(varchar) I have the form written up for how it should look like: Code: [Select] <form action="upload.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> Upload an image for processing<br /> <input type="file" name="Image"><br /> <select name="sub_group"> <option value="Photo Shoot">Photo Shoot</option> <option value="Live Performances">Live Performances</option> <option value="Randoms">Randoms</option> <option value="Fan Photos">Fan Photos</option> </select><br /> Location: <input type="text" name="p_group" /><br /> Date of Pic: <input type="text" name="date" /><br /> Description: <input type="text" name="description" /><br /> <input type="submit" value="Upload"> </form> so what needs to happen is for the file upload name. it needs to grab a count from "p_group" database to give it a starting number in a "00" pattern and then the date of pic needs to go in there next then the p_group name. so when the files gets uploaded it would look something like this after upload. "03 - Oct 21, 2011 - The Mex.jpg" NOTE: all pics must be converted to ".jpg" extension. both the orig and thumb will use that same file name cuz they just go into different dirs re-sizing for the thumbnail should be done by aspect ratio and needs to either be 300px width or 400px height. so if anyone would like to help me out please do. im not the greatest at writing in php yet Hello, I am trying to populate the value="" of my form with the data from the mysql database so users can see what is already completed, trial and error have failed me. what am i doing wrong? <?php session_start(); include 'english.php'; if (!isset($_SESSION['user'])) die("<br /><br />You need to login to view this page"); $user = $_SESSION['user']; echo "<h3>Edit your Profile Search</h3>"; //opend database $connect = mysql_connect("$dbhost","$dbuser","$dbpass"); mysql_select_db("$dbname"); //select database // Get all the data from the "housing" table $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE user='$user'") or die(mysql_error()); // keeps getting the next row until there are no more to get while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $result )) // Print out the contents of each row into a table ?> <form action="/includes/insert_profile.php" method="post"> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3"> </td></tr> <tr><td>First Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="first" value="$first"> <tr><td>Middle Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="middle" value="$middle"> <tr><td>Last Name:</td><td><input type="text" name="last" value="$last"> <tr><td>Email:</td><td><input type="text" name="email" value="$email"> </td></tr> <tr><td>Date of Birth:</td><td> <select id="day" name="day" class="short"> <option value="1" selected="selected">1</option> <option value="2">2</option> <option value="3">3</option> </select> <select id="month" name="month" class="medium"> <option value="January" selected="selected">January</option> <option value="February">February</option> </select> <select id="year" name="year" class="medium"> <option value="2010" selected="selected">2010</option> <option value="2009">2009</option> <option value="2008">2008</option> </td></tr> <tr><td> <input type="Submit" value="Save"/> </td></tr> </table> </form> |
