PHP - Html Form With Formatting
Hi There,
In some of my forms, I am using <textarea> boxes in order for lot's of information to be entered. When submitted, these forms pump data into a database. Is there any way of carrying through the carriage returns with the form? So that when it is displayed back on the page, it looks exactly how it was entered. For example, if someone puts the following in the text box: Hello, This is line 1 This is line 2 This is how I would like it to be displayed Thanks Matt Similar TutorialsI have a function that removes html, javascript and php from a text box that users of my site can write in. The problem is when a user types say; hello. My name is Danny And I love php freaks into my text box. Its also removing the new line entry's. I would very much stop to stop it doing that so it looks like I have paragraphs. Can someone please help me. Here is how I call the function. $description = strip_word_html($_POST['description'], $allowed_tags = '<b><i><sup><sub><em><strong><u><br><br/><br />'); And the function itself with notes. //remove html java and php function strip_word_html($text, $allowed_tags = '<b><i><sup><sub><em><strong><u><br><br/><br />') { mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8'); //replace MS special characters first $search = array('/‘/u', '/’/u', '/“/u', '/”/u', '/—/u'); $replace = array('\'', '\'', '"', '"', '-'); $text = preg_replace($search, $replace, $text); //make sure _all_ html entities are converted to the plain ascii equivalents - it appears //in some MS headers, some html entities are encoded and some aren't $text = html_entity_decode($text, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8'); //try to strip out any C style comments first, since these, embedded in html comments, seem to //prevent strip_tags from removing html comments (MS Word introduced combination) if(mb_stripos($text, '/*') !== FALSE){ $text = mb_eregi_replace('#/\*.*?\*/#s', '', $text, 'm'); } //introduce a space into any arithmetic expressions that could be caught by strip_tags so that they won't be //'<1' becomes '< 1'(note: somewhat application specific) $text = preg_replace(array('/<([0-9]+)/'), array('< $1'), $text); $text = strip_tags($text, $allowed_tags); //eliminate extraneous whitespace from start and end of line, or anywhere there are two or more spaces, convert it to one $text = preg_replace(array('/^\s\s+/', '/\s\s+$/', '/\s\s+/u'), array('', '', ' '), $text); //strip out inline css and simplify style tags $search = array('#<(strong|b)[^>]*>(.*?)</(strong|b)>#isu', '#<(em|i)[^>]*>(.*?)</(em|i)>#isu', '#<u[^>]*>(.*?)</u>#isu'); $replace = array('<b>$2</b>', '<i>$2</i>', '<u>$1</u>'); $text = preg_replace($search, $replace, $text); //some MS Style Definitions - this last bit gets rid of any leftover comments */ $num_matches = preg_match_all("/\<!--/u", $text, $matches); if($num_matches){ $text = preg_replace('/\<!--(.)*--\>/isu', '', $text); } return $text; } Hey guys, I've got a little problem that I can't seem to find the answer to... I have a string like this: $oldstring = "<test1>here is some text</test1>"; and what I want to do is get "test1" and "here is some text" into 2 separate strings kind of like this: $newstring[0] = "test1"; $newstring[1] = "here is some text"; I figured I'd use preg_replace to do this but no luck. I know the answer has to be something simple but I just can't figure it out. Thanks for any help you can give! Hello. I am interested in taking a result returned from a database and having it displayed in a certain way/style on the user's screen; For example, the user enters text into a field and hits "submit" - the data is saved in the database then displayed to the user (This part I have working just fine so far due to help I received here.) My question is if I would like to, for example, have said text not simply dumped to the top of the screen, inline, but nicely formatted in a boxed, text area, I assume I will use HTML/CSS, and I was wondering if anyone had any good links/tutorials regarding this topic so I may look further into it (my search thus far has not turned up the correct topic or results). Thank-you in advance for any assistance. ~Matty Hi all, I have an html form that sends formdata to a php script called example.php with the POST method. example.php then has the following structu Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['var1'])) {$var1 = $_POST['var1'];} else {$var1 = 'English';} if(isset($_POST['var2'])) {$var2 = $_POST['var2'];} else {$var2 = 'French';} print" <html> <body> <form> <select id='select1'> <option>var1</option> <option>var2</option> <option>etc...</option> </select> <input type='text' id='input1'> ETC. ETC. </form> </body> </html> "; ?> So example.php has an embedded html form. How do I specify that some elements of the form should take their values from the variables retrieved at the start of the script via the POST command? For example, I want select1 to have 'var1' pre-selected and I want input1 to display var2. var1 & var2 get sent through to example.php fine, I just don't know how to get the embedded html form to use them. Please help! Thanks a lot. 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?

(hidden of course). The code I was thinking of was.. Code: [Select] <?php $str = trans_id:amount:remotepassword; string md5 ( string $str [, bool $raw_output = false ] ) ?> Now that code should generate the md5 hash, how do I then assign this to a value called "digest" to be added to the post form? Ok, so I want to load results out of a form in the same page. This shouldn't be a problem. Trying to get it into same page as where the form is, I think the code will make clear what I want to have done. Have a little experience with PHP, and trying to learn by doing stuff like this.

Hello firstly i would like to say im very new to this forum (Signed up 5 minutes ago). I have decided to join as im in my final year at university and have been asked to create a website, so im guessing ill be coming back here a lot for help! . Anyway my most current problem is i have an if statement that hides the "Register" button if the user is logged in and Shows a welcome message and the users name if the user is logged in. However i would like to make the log in form disappear if the user is logged in. I know that by putting the form code in the else part of my if statement it will disappear if the user is logged in however when i do this it stops my whole website working. Any help would be very grateful. Thanks Glen. Not sure why the PHP variables in the code below aren't interpreting the values that they should be receiving from the HTML form. HTML form Code: [Select] <form action="handle_form.php" method="post"> <fieldset><legend>Enter your information in the form below</legend> <p><b>Name:</b> <input type="text" name="name" size="20" maxlength="40" /></p> <p><b>Email Address:</b> <input type="text" name="email" size="40" maxlength="60" /></p> <p><b>Gender:</b> <input type="radio" name="gender" value="M" /> Male <input type="radio" name="gender" value="F" /> Female</p> <p><b>Age:</b> <select name="age"> <option value="0-29">Under 30</option> <option value="30-60">Between 30 and 60</option> <option value="60+">Over 60</option> </select> </p> <p><b>Comments:</b> <textarea name="comments" rows="3" cols="40"></textarea></p> </fieldset> <div align="center"><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Sumbit My Information" /></div> </form> PHP handle_form <?php #Script 2.2 handle_form.php $name = $_REQUEST['name']; $email = $_REQUEST['email']; $comments = $_REQUEST['comments']; echo "<p>Thank you, <b>$name</b>, for the following comments:<br /> <tt>$comments</tt></p> <p> We will reply to you at <i>$email</i>.</p>"; ?> This is my attempt to make an upload script to upload images to my own website. Code: [Select] <?php $ch = curl_init("http://*******.com/imgupload.html"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, array('file'=>"@/home/user/mypic.jpg", 'submit'=>'Submit')); $postResult = curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); print "$postResult"; ?>The working upload form I'm trying to post to: Code: [Select] <html> <body> <form action="upload_file.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data"> <label for="file">Filename:</label> <input type="file" name="file" id="file" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html> Why doesn't this work? Basically atm I am trying to accomplish a way to $_POST a selection from my dropdown box in to a PHP variable for use elsewhere. The eventual goal being a form that will allow you to select a user from the dropdown box; then via a HTML form with some additional text fields, add/update database table records for that person. I have been searching and searching, and I cant find anything that addresses using a dropdown box that pulls names from my SQL in a html web form. All I can find are tons of guides on simple html only forms. At the moment, the dropdown box is working, It is pulling names from my database/table. But when I select a name from the list and then click on my submit button the $_POST does not seem to be pulling the value for "username". I have the following for the index page: <?php include('/nav.php'); include('/config.php'); include('/dbopen.php'); echo "Select a name: <select name='$name'>"; $query="select * from players"; $result=mysql_query($query); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $name=$row['PLAYER_NAME']; echo "<option name=username value='$name'>$name</option>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> <html> <body> <form action="moduser.php" method="post" /> <input type="submit" value="CLICK!" /> </form> </body> </html> and the following for a test page to see if my form is being submitted correctly: <?php include('/nav.php'); include('/config.php'); include('/dbopen.php'); $username="$_POST[username]"; echo "Hello $username"; ?> NOTE: My includes are tested and working default scripts to connect to database, define some global vars etc. Should not be relevant to my particular problem Thanks Much, Dega. I am trying to create a form that will be store in-house. This form needs to have a drop-down of keywords. These keywords will cause a snippet of code (pulled from the selection of the keyword) to be placed into a text document one after another. Ex.: I click on "Header" in the list and click Insert Code. This causes Code: [Select] "<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">" to be placed into the text document. I then hit click on "Body" and it creates the Code: [Select] "<body></body" code to appear on the text document below the "Header" code above it. This is basically a text writer that just uses snippets of code as I click on buttons. Almost like this editor above is doing. Is this possible and is it easy/hard? -john When I put my contact form into my html and save it as php, nothing happens and I get no error messages. I am not too sure if I placed my php in the wrong place. Code: [Select] <?php if (isset($_POST['Submit'])) { if ($_POST['name'] != "") { $_POST['name'] = filter_var($_POST['name'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); if ($_POST['name'] == "") { $errors .= 'Please enter a valid name.<br/><br/>'; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter your name.<br/>'; } if ($_POST['email'] != "") { $email = filter_var($_POST['email'], FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL); if (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) { $errors .= "$email is <strong>NOT</strong> a valid email address.<br/><br/>"; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter your email address.<br/>'; } if ($_POST['message'] != "") { $_POST['message'] = filter_var($_POST['message'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING); if ($_POST['message'] == "") { $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>'; } } else { $errors .= 'Please enter a message to send.<br/>'; } if (!$errors) { $first_name=$_POST['name']; $email_address=$_POST['email']; $subject = 'Test'; $message=$_POST['message']; mail("myemailaddress@gmail.com","$subject", $message,"From: $first_name <$email_address>"); echo "Thank you for your email!<br/><br/>"; } else { echo '<div style="color: red">' . $errors .

I have everything working, except for a HTML editor, as I need the user to be able to create the pages in the same sort of way you make the description for an ebay listing. I have looked on google, but couldnt find anything. Could anyone help me with this? Thanks! |
