PHP - Html Links In Submitted Forms

Hi,

I am very new to PHP and am having trouble understanding how HTML, PHP and JavaScript work together.

What I have to do is, I have a 'Choose File' option, where I select the file. Then I transfer this file to server and read the contents in an array. This is done in one form.

In the other form I send the contents read from the to a different *.php for some database querying.

Following is what I have. I don't know how to transfer data between different files.

Code: [Select]
<form  name ="INPUT" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="readInput.php">
                            <p id="upload_text"><br/>
                                <textarea name="queryList" id="queryList" cols="35" rows="10" wrap="physical" value='' onclick ="document.INPUT.queryList.value='';">
                                    Enter input here...
                                </textarea><br/>
                            </p>
                            <p>
                                <!-- <input name=INPUTS type=hidden value=$entries[]/>-->
                            </p>
                            <p id="upload_button"><br/>
                                File:
                                <input  name="uploadedfile" type="file" size="30" onchange='fillTextArea(<?php echo $entries; ?>)'/><br/>
                            </p>
                            <iframe id="upload_target" name="upload_target" src="#" style="width:0;height:0;border:0px solid #fff;"></iframe>
                            <a href="javascript: submitReadForm()"></a>
                        </form>

                        <script type="text/javascript">
                            function submitReadForm() {
                                document.INPUT.submit();
                            }
                        </script>

                        <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
                            //var inData = new Array();
                            function fillTextArea(inData){
                                if (inData == "") {
                                    document.getElementById('queryList').textContent = "No Input"
                                    alert("No Input Data Returned");
                                } else {
                                    document.getElementById('queryList').textContent = inData;
                                }
                            }

                        </script>


                        <form  name ="GETPDB" action ="viewPDBs.php" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data"  >
                            <p id="submit_upload">

                                    <input type="hidden" name="entries[<#?php echo $k ?>]" value="<#?php echo addslashes($e) ?>">
                                    #<#?php endforeach; ?> -->

                                <input name=IDS type=hidden value="<?php echo $input; ?>"/>
                            </p>
                            <a href="javascript: submitPDBForm()"></a>
                        </form>
Please help me with this. Thanks.

Hi,

I have found myself in a bit of a cul-de-sac. Hope you can help as it is driving me crazy.

The scenario:

I have an html form (_post) which I would like to write the contents of to a one XML file using php.

The problem is:

The html page has three/four forms in it.

Form a = (submit a writes/updates only to section a)
Form b = (submit b writes/updates only to section b)
Form c = (submit c writes/updates only to section c)

Form d= (submit a, b, c writes/updates all sections)

The XML page has three sections a, b & c

To conclude, I want to be able to update the XML file in sections or update them all as a whole.

How can I go about achieving this?

Thanks

Hello friends,

if i've textarea form or even input
how to prevent visitors to write html codes inside it ?

thanks

I've been poking around online for about a day now trying to find a good way to do the following:

I have an "order" I'm reading in from a MySQL database (not completely relevant, but just fyi). And, for this order there are a number of "parts" (automotive parts) that have been ordered. For each part there is data pertaining to the quantity of parts that have been ordered and the number of parts that have been allocated (based on our inventory) and then a third column that has the number of parts still in that order that are still to be allocated at a future date.

Basically, I'm displaying this data in a form with each row having a checkbox to the far left. What I want to do is allow the user to check any number of check boxes. If a check box is checked the form should submit all of the input text boxes for that row (the user can update the quantities) that I talked about in the second paragraph for that "part" (each part is displayed in a row and has a checkbox).

Unfortunately, most of the examples I found for checkboxes in a form submit a specific value (like a number of a letter). I need the form to submit the values that are in the textboxes. So basically, I'm thinking I need the page to update a PHP object whenever the value of a textbox is changed and then when the user clicks a button it will send the php object for each checked row through GET or POST. But, how would I get it to onchange update a PHP object (the PHP object would need to be a 2-D array where the first index allows you to select the part and the second index allows you to select which quantity you will change). I'm thinking I would need to call a script from the onchange like: onchange="somePHPfunction(partNumberIndex, whichQuantityI'mChanging, currentValueOfThatQuantity)" but of course that would require me to embed some php inside the onchange call since the partNumberIndex and whichQuantity are PHP variables..

Any ideas on how to do this sort of thing?
Or any ideas on how to do this differently?
I'm trying to avoid javascript because it would place a javascript constraint on the users.
But, maybe there's no other way to do this sort of thing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I make a php application , it has a lot of forms. I want to avoid someones post like ?> or </html> .
How can i make it.

Here's a question for all you great php programmers.
What I want to do is use a variable username as the name of a select input of a form.
I.E
echo"<select name='$user'>";

Of course this code doesn't work though I feel sure that there must be a way to do this.
Anyone know it?

Hi Guys,

I'm having some trouble running PHP scripts. I have two forms, each of which redirects to a PHP script (each PHP script is different, but essentially both have the same problem) as an action. The code is below. I'm hosted at Bluehost, which runs PHP on their servers so I know the tech is compatible.  Thanks! Cheers!


<html>
   
   <script type="text/php">include('newform.php');</script>
   <head>
      
      <title>TradeSquared></title>
       <p align="center">Trade Squared</p>
   </head>


<body>
   <br>
   <br>
   
   
   <div align="center">
   
   
      
      Create a new Listing:
      
      <form action="newform.php" method="get" name="newform">
   
      Type:<select name="type">
            <option value="book">Book</option>
            <option value="apt">Apartment</option>
            <option value="item">Class Items</option>
          </select>
      
          <input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
      
      </form>
   
   
   
   
      <br>
   
   
   

   
   
      Search current Listings:

      <form action="searchform.php" method="get" name="searchform">
   
      Type:<select name="type">
            <option value="book">Book</option>
            <option value="apt">Apartment</option>
            <option value="item">Class Items</option>

   </div>
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
</body>



</html>



This is the PHP code on which action redirects to


<?php

$type = $_GET=["type"];

if($type=="book") header("location:addbooklisting.html");
   else if($type == "apt") header("location:aptform");
   else header("location:itemform");

My employer asked if I could change an existing contact form on their website to allow clients to enter their Social Security Number along with the normal contact information if the client decide to do so, instead of going through the motion of physically send in the form via snail mail, fax, or in person (like it is currently handled).
But since this piece of information is of such delicate nature, I wonder how I should approach this from both a legal standpoint and from a programming standpoint.
The form currently sends the information entered by the user to an inbox with mail(), so my initial thought was to somehow encrypt the information, limiting the risk of someone getting a hold of this information once the use user clicks "Send". But is full blown SSL really necessary for this? Are there easier options? And what should I think about before enabling this?

Hi,
I have made a basic html site and it has two forms on it. I have the forms linking to a file called process.php.
Basically i need to know what code to put in the php file in order for the forms to save whatever is entered in them to a txt file on my server or computer.
Or any other easier way to do the same thing, save the content of two forms on my site.
Hope i posted this in the right forum subject.
Thanks very much for anyone that helps.

I'm sending notifications from my website via php mail() function and I am trying to send links but they don't seem to have a link attached to them when they get to my email.

my code is:

Code: [Select]
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id='$db_uid'");
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query);

$from = "notify <notifications@site.com>";
$headers = "From:" . $from ."\r\n";
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";

$to = $row['email'];
$subject = name($session, 'fl')." posted on your profile.";

$message = '<html><body>';
$message .= nl2br(htmlentities($db_post)).'<br /><a target="_blank" href="www.site.com/#/profile&id='.$db_uid.'">Go to your profile</a>';
$message .= '</body></html>';

mail($to,$subject,$message,$headers);

I am trying to use the php mail function and want to include links to a dynamic page, so I need to know how to do this...

Something like:

Code: [Select]
$id=$_POST['id'];
$mailto="email@address.com";
$mailsub="Subject";
$mailhead="From: other@address.com";
$mailbody="Your comment has been posted. You may view it by <a href='domain.com/page.php?id=".$id."'>clicking here</a>.";
mail($mailto, $mailsub, $mailbody, $mailhead);

I know this is not correct but I'm trying to figure out the actual way to do this...

I've got a BIG problem...

When a user submits my form it works fine, displays a "Transaction Success/Failed", and e-mails me a confirmation.

However, if the user then navigates to another page (e.g. "Home"), and then clicks their browser's "Back" button, my form gets re-submitted?!    

This is on a VPS, but I just chatted with server support and they are saying,

Quote

register_globals = Off


So what is going wrong?!
