PHP - Form Data Displayed!?
I'm teaching myself how to use php and mysql...
I created a form to insert data into a mysql database, all went well and when I returned to the form it was blank. I then asked a friend to test it out aswell and when he loaded the form page, the data that entered before him was displayed? (it was still filled out with my info). Even after he refreshed it was still there... Hows this possible? How would I clear the form after its been submitted if it doesnt do it automatically? Thanks Drew Similar TutorialsHello to all, I have problem figuring out how to properly display data fetched from MySQL database in a HTML table. In the below example I am using two while loops, where the second one is nested inside first one, that check two different expressions fetching data from tables found in a MySQL database. The second expression compares the two tables IDs and after their match it displays the email of the account holder in each column in the HTML table. The main problem is that the 'email' row is displayed properly while its while expression is not nested and alone(meaning the other data is omitted or commented out), but either nested or neighbored to the first while loop, it is displayed horizontally and the other data ('validity', 'valid_from', 'valid_to') is not displayed.'
Can someone help me on this, I guess the problem lies in the while loop? <thead> <tr> <th data-column-id="id" data-type="numeric">ID</th> <th data-column-id="email">Subscriber's Email</th> <th data-column-id="validity">Validity</th> <th data-column-id="valid_from">Valid From</th> <th data-column-id="valid_to">Valid To</th> </tr> </thead> Here is part of the PHP code:
<?php
while($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC))
{
echo '
<tr>
<td>'.$row["id"].'</td>
';
while ($row1 = $stmt1->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)) {
echo '
<td>'.$row1["email"].'</td>
';
}
if($row["validity"] == 1) {
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' month</td>';
}else{
echo '<td>'.$row["validity"].' months</td>';
}
echo ' <td>'.$row["valid_from"].'</td>
<td>'.$row["valid_to"].'</td>
</tr>';
}
?>
Thank you. I am trying to write some code to display the visits to my site each week in batches of 13 weeks (1 quarter).
I am getting the Week No and the number of hits, but the actual date, which is in a separate table is not being displayed.
I have tried LEFT JOIN and INNER Join and even RIGHT JOIN (this only displays the Date).
I can't see where I am going wrong!
Here is the code:
<?
include('connect_visits.php');
doDB7();
$limitStart = $_POST['QUARTER'] - 13;
$Visit_data="SELECT Visits.ID, Visits.WVisits, Visits.WCom, WeekNo.WNo, WeekNo.WCom
FROM Visits
LEFT JOIN WeekNo
ON Visits.ID = WeekNo.WCom
ORDER BY Visits.ID
LIMIT {$limitStart}, 13";
$Visit_data_res = mysqli_query($mysqli, $Visit_data) or die(mysqli_error($mysqli));
$display_block = "
<table width=\"20%\" cellpadding=\"3\" cellspacing=\"1\" border=\"1\" BGCOLOR=\"white\" >
<tr>
<th>Week No</th>
<th>Week Commencing</th>
<th>Visits</th>
</tr>";
while ($C_info = mysqli_fetch_array($Visit_data_res)) {
$Cid = $C_info['ID'];
$Visits = ($C_info['WVisits']);
$WeekNo = ($C_info['WCom']);
//add to display
$display_block .= "
<tr>
<td width=\"1%\" valign=\"top\">".$Cid."<br/></td>
<td width=\"8%\" valign=\"top\">".$WeekNo."<br/></td>
<td width=\"5%\" valign=\"top\">".$Visits."<br/></td>
</td></tr>";
}
mysqli_free_result($Visit_data_res);
?>
Where am I going wrong?
Edited by rocky48, 29 December 2014 - 12:53 PM. Hello, I have a stock page on my site and want to use the code to display a small stock area on my home page. I am not sure on how I would limit the number of records or randomize the records shown. The code is Code: [Select] <?php $coachselect=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM coaches WHERE DISPLAY = '1' ORDER BY STOCK")or die(mysql_error()); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($coachselect)){ ?> <ul class="stock-home"> <li><h4><a href="details-id-<?php echo $row['ID']; ?>.html" target="_blank"></a></h4></li> <li><img src="./<?php echo $row['IMAGES'] .

Does anyone have any advice or could point me to a tutorial? Here is the rest of the code, from the top of the page. Code: [Select] $CON=mysql_connect($DB_SERVER, $DB_USER, $DB_PASS) or die(mysql_error()); $DB_SELECT=mysql_select_db($DATABASE) or die(mysql_error()); if (isset($_POST)) { foreach ($_POST as &$value) { $value = trim(htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES)); } } if (isset($_GET)) { foreach ($_GET as &$value) { $value = trim(htmlspecialchars($value, ENT_QUOTES)); } } $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = filter_var($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); ?> Many Thanks Dan This topic has been moved to MySQL Help. http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=359434.0 when I test this script on browser.

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 #.

} ?> Am new here - looks like a great foru! I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have been trying to solve my problem for hours and I am not having any luck, so I thought I would post and see if anyone can help. I am very stuck and am not making much progress on this project, and I am certain the answer is very simple. I am constructing a form to collect data for a specialized purpose. The form and program actually work for its intended function, but I am trying to enhance the user experience by preventing customers from having to reenter all of their data should there be a problem with any of the data submitted. I have been able to do that with the contact form portion, but what I am having trouble with is the portion which has as many as 400 possible entries. So, in a nutshell, if the customers contact data is incomplete or in error, the form will ask them to return to the page and correct things. The previous data entered has been saved in the session and the input value will equal the previous entry. i.e. <tr> <td align="right" class="infoBox"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></td> <td align=left><?php echo "<input type=text name='cemail' value=\"$cemail\" size=35 maxlength=35>" ?></td> </tr> Works perfectly, all well and good there. On the other 400 more or less entries, I am having a difficult time tweaking the string concatenation to work to achieve similar results. There are 4 columns each with $points entries asking for a dimension in either feet or inches. The <input name=> is one of ptaf,ptai,ptbf,ptbi, appended programatically with the corresponding row number or data point. i.e. "ptaf1", "ptai1", etc... This is produced by the example below and works perfectly also. <?php { $points=100; $i=1; while ($i <= $points) {echo ' <tr><td align="center" width="6"><b> ' .$i . '</b></td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptaf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptai'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptbf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td> <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptbi'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td> '; $i++; } } ?> I am trying to add <input value=$ptai.$i> for each field but as I mentioned I am not having any luck. It seems as if I have tried every combination imagineable, but still no luck. My head is spinning! The closest I seem to have gotten was with this: <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" size=6 maxlength=3 name="ptaf'.$i.'" value="' . "$ptaf" . $i . '" ></td> But line 17 for example returns this: <input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6"> To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may have entered previously. Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need clarification on anything please let me know. Thanks AJ Say there is a complex opt in process where people start to enter their data but certain questions stop them where they close out of the page. They already entered their data and I feel there is a way to grab it and post it to mysql even though they do not click submit.
How would this be done?
A super simple example (proof of concept) or a link to a tutorial would be very useful.
Edited by brentman, 23 September 2014 - 10:42 AM. Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you. Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one. FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you: The HTML with the PHP codes: Code: [Select] <?php if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') { //Assigning variables to elements $first = htmlentities($_POST['first']); $last = htmlentities($_POST['last']); $sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']); $email = htmlentities($_POST['email']); $web = htmlentities($_POST['website']); $heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']); $comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']); $cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']); //Declaring the email address with body content $to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com'; $body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'"; //Validate the forms if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) { echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>'; header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php'); return false; } elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) { echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>'; return false; } elseif (!($cap === '12')){ echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>'; return false; } else { mail ($to, $sub, $body); echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>'; } } ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post"> <p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p> <p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p> <p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p> <p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p> <p>Website:</p> <p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p> <p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><select name="heard"> <option>Internet</option> <option>Newspapers</option> <option>Friends or relatives</option> <option>Others</option> </select></p> <p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p> <p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p> <p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p> <p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p> <p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/> <input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p> </form> SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form. THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing! There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content. The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization, it's for children. I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it. Code snipets below. Any help, please use portions of this code in hopes I can understand it Thanks Code snipet from Output.php Code: [Select] <?php $t1image = $_POST["t1image"]; $t1title = $_POST["t1title"]; $t1info = $_POST["t1info"]; $t2image = $_POST["t2image"]; $t2title = $_POST["t2title"]; $t2info = $_POST["t2info"]; ?> ... <tbody> <tr><!--Headers--> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Animal</td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Image thumb<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Date<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center; background-color: rgb(204, 255, 255);">Information<br> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Monkey </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t1image.'.gif'; ?>"><!--single image presented selected from radio buttons--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?><!--time stamp generated when submitted form populates all fields at once--> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#monkey" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t1title ?></a><!--Link name provided by "Title 1", that links to hidden Div generated page with content from "Info1" field--> <div id="Monkey" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t1info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;">Cat<br> </td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><img src="<?php echo $t2image.'.gif'?>"></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><?php echo date("m/d/Yh:i A"); ?></td> <td style="vertical-align: top; text-align: center;"><a href="#Cat" rel="facebox"><?php echo $t2title ?></a> <div id="Cat" style="display:none"> <?php echo $t2info; ?> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> This replicates several times down the page around 15-20 times ( t1### - t20###) Code Snipet from HTML Form Code: [Select] <form action="animals.php" method="post"> <div style="text-align: left;"><big style="font-family: Garamond; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"><big><big><span>Monkey</span></big></big></big><br> <table style="text-align: left; width: 110px;" border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr> <td style="vertical-align: top;">Image thumb<br> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="No opinion" checked><img src="eh.gif" alt="Eh"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Ok"><img src="ok.gif" alt="ok"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Like"><img src="like.gif" alt="Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Dont"><img src="dont.gif" alt="Don't Like"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Hate"><img src="hate.gif" alt="Hate"> <input type="radio" name="t1image" value="Other"><img src="other.gif" alt="Other"> <br> Why Title:<input type="text" name="t1title" size="45" value="..."/></td> <td style="vertical-align: top;"> Explain:<br> <textarea name="t1info" cols=45 rows=3 value="..."></textarea> </td></tr></table> <br> <!--Next--> How do I get the Form data to save to the php page for others to view?

Any Ideas? 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. Would someone please help me understand how data is sent from an HTML form to the server? If I have a simple HTML form that appears on someone's computer, how is the data sent to the server that PHP is on? TomTees There is a web page that is programmed in ASP and has a simple one field form (drop down list) and a submit button. After you submit the form by selecting an option (over 150 options), it will take you to the result page using the "Post" method. The variable does not show in the result page URL. The result page has table with multiple columns. What I want is to have ALL the results in one CSV file. Here what I really need in details: 1- Import all tables (one table for each option in the drop-down list) into a CSV file. 2- The content of two columns has codes. Replace all the codes in the table to a separate column. 3- Create an additional column that contains the name of the option on the first page form. I need to have it in a php file so that I can run it via cron job few times a year. How can I obtain this functionality with PHP? Hi People. I am having a problem with this form and for the life of me can't see where I have made the mistake. On line 33 I have commented where I get the problem. If I remove this line (or comment it out) and remove the insert statements for that line then it all works and I can see the php form on my live site. However, with this in, as it is, I can't see anything, I get a blank page altogether. Please, can anyone see my mistake? I have been going over the code now for ages and it's getting late, and I probably am missing something stupid.

So, I have recently become interested in the world of webpage design and HTML coding. Thus far, I have created a few simple HTML webpages, the first of which includes some basic facts and information on the state of NC. Everything has gone rather smoothly for me until this point, but I would now like to incorporate a bit of PHP into my knowledge of web development. First, I would like to include a form on my NC page that once submitted, goes to a new PHP page displaying the inputted data to the screen. On the new page, I am attempting to include files: a header and footer. On my other couple of pages for which I would like to add server side includes. And lastly, if possible, it would be great if I could learn how to add some additional features like sending e-mails or displaying the date. Any advice or tips on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated! Sorry if I asked this before in some variant, but I had to put my OOP studies aside for a few weeks, so here I go again?! I am trying to learn OOP and would like to take the data submitted in a form and put it into an object so I can pass that to other objects and do stuff with said data in OOP terms. My *limited* understanding of things so far is this... If I have form "registration.php", when the user clicks 'Submit' then data from the form gets populated immediately in the $_POST array and control would go to the action page... I would like to take - password - name into a generic object called FormHandler. (Maybe this isn't how the OOP gurus would do it, but hmor me as I am trying to learn elementary OOP, and use something that works for me.) So how would I go about doing that? All I can think is to have an action page called "form_handler.php" and when the user submits the form in "registration.php" then "form_handler.php" would instantiate FormHandler which would assign the $_POST array into either its own array or into individual variables. Maybe something like... class FormHandler{ private $someArray(); // OR private $email; private $password; private $name; function __construct() { $this->someArray = $_POST(); // OR $this->email = $_POST['email']; $this->password = $_POST['password']; $this->name = $_POST['name']; } } Feel free to tell me what you think of my code and idea, and please be nice because I have never written any OOP before and it is hard to break my old procedural ways! TomTees Hello PHP experts. Please help me on this. I have created a form at http://lakshwebdesign.com/clients/onev8llc/qualitynew-site/instantfreequote.html How do I add these 3 PHP functionalities to it:- 1) On submit, all the data be sent to an email address. 2) Also, record it in database. 3) Record date on which the form is submitted. I have knowledge of PHP and I can understand the codes somewhat so I am not a complete beginner of PHP. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. |
