PHP - How To Send Post Data And Process Returned Xml?
I'm sure this is a simple question, and I'm not a total newbie, but I keep drawing a blank.
In accordance with existing specifications, a client has created a PHP page on their web server which responds to a query by returning a small block of XML. I need to use that XML, and I have no problem doing that using XMLReader->open(clientURL). I can call the client's PHP page and get XML back that I can parse and everything is wonderful. Except for one thing: I need to send a product ID when I call the client's PHP page, and I need to send it using the POST method. I guess that means my clean and neat one-step process is going to have to become a two-step process, and I'm going to have to use some other means besides XMLReader->open() to retrieve the XML. Can sombody recommend the best way to do this? I need to send POST data first to get the correct XML response, and then I need to capture the XML in a way that allows me to parse it. Similar TutorialsI needed a server side PHP validation script for my form to use on top of client side Javascript as a backup. I found a nice package where I just include the validator and set a few options then it does the rest. However it doesn't seem to work with the action="whateveraction.php" for the form. It will skip all the validation and immediately go to the action script. So I left that blank as you can see in the form below and figured I would send the post data somehow to the script using PHP when the validation is successful. However I am stumped on how to do that can I get some coding help? This is the small validation script. I will attach the formvalidator.php in this post. Code: [Select] <?php require_once "formvalidator.php"; if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $validator = new FormValidator(); $validator->addValidation("age","req","Please fill in your Age"); $validator->addValidation("mcid","req","Please fill in your Minecraft Username"); $validator->addValidation("description","req","Please fill in a Description"); if($validator->ValidateForm()) { //need something here to have it send the post data to /mcbuildapp/form_submit.php } else { echo "<div class=blockrow><b><font size=5>Form Errors:</font><b></div>"; $error_hash = $validator->GetErrors(); foreach($error_hash as $inpname => $inp_err) { echo "<div class=blockrow><p><font color=red>$inp_err</font></p>\n</div>"; } } } Then the form if it matters.... Code: [Select] <div class="blockrow"> <font size=4><b>Minecraft Building Rights Application</b></font> <br /> <br /> <b>Failing to fill in any of these fields sufficiently will result in an automatic denial of your application!</b><br /> <b>Think of it this way, being lazy and applying wrong is only wasting your time. Take the time to do it correctly the first time.</b> <br /> <br /> <b><font color=red>To ensure proper user authentication and security you must first join the server at least once before applying for your building rights to work!</font></b> <br /> <br /> <form action="" id="mcbuilderapp" name="mcbuilderapp" method="post"> <label><b>Your Minecraft Username (required)</b><br /> Use exact capitalization and punctuation that matches your Minecraft.net account!</label> <br /> <br /> <input type="text" name="mcid" id="mcid" maxlength="25"/> <br /> <br /> <label><b>Your Age (required)</b></label> <br /> <br /> <input type="text" name="age" id="age" maxlength="3"/> <br /> <br /> <label><b>Describe Yourself (required)</b><br /> Describe yourself in <b>no less</b> than 3 sentences using <b>correct grammar</b>.</label> <br /> <br /> <textarea name="description" id="description" minlength="10" maxlength="1000" cols=60 rows=5 wrap="physical"> </textarea> <br /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> </div> MOD EDIT: PHP manual tags changed to code tags . . . [attachment deleted by admin] hello, I was wondering if it is possible to get all the data sent by a html form via post/get method and use it somehow. it is difficult to explain what i mean, i don't mean to say how to get data normally i.e.. by using variables for example $data = $_POST['data']; that can only get only one field that is "data". The reason i am looking for this is because i have many forms that will have to use the mail() function, the problem is creating variables for each from then use the mail() function to send it will be time consuming. and the fields are different in different forms. I have noticed the similar technology used by mailmyform . com, they capture the data in any html form posted to their php page and mail it to the given email. Hi, I'm trying to setup a quick PHP script that will grab the email from the url (see below) and after inserting into MySQL db - which is working fine - the script will complete two additional tasks: 1. send that same captured email out to a external db as in shown via http://domain1.com/insert.php?email=$lead (example), but then send to a DIFFERENT source - the originator of the lead - a portback acknowledgement using Header (sending the status and email to http://domain2.com/check.php?e=$lead&s=$status for their records). See the code below: ------------------------- Code: [Select] $lead = $_REQUEST['e_mail']; // will grab email from posted url string and assign to local variable $result = mysql_query($command); // this is just to execute the MySQL insert which works just fine but included here to explain validation below // Create API Call string to insert lead into iContact folder $requestURL = "http://domain1.com/insert.php?email=$lead"; // Execute API Call to CAKE $xml = simplexml_load_file($requestURL) or die("feed not loading"); if ($result) { $status = 1; // mark lead as sucess // send postback on lead status header("Location: http://domain2.com/check.php?e=$lead&s=$status"); } -------- Problem: I'm getting all sorts of errors with the simplexml_load_file() function and can't figure out why it won't work. Any input appreciated as this the only way I know how to pass the lead onward and then inform/update the other party of receipt of information. thanks! I'm pulling data from an xml file and I'm getting a lot of duplicates. How can I remove the duplicates from the query? Code: [Select] foreach($xml->category->subcategory as $category){ echo $category[id]; }//end foreach Hi, I need to rack some peoples brains! I have here a script that allows a GSM/ Remote receipt printer to poll for data in a specific format. The issue is that I will be deploying a few 100 of these damn things and need to know what ones are on or off! I can get the time I polls the file and have it writing to a DB table. The only issue is that even with only two printers running its filling up the table fast! Over 600 rows in 30 mins for only two printers! I need to find out a better way to do this but have the same flexibility in knowing what exact times it was on and off and then to take this data and put into a nice viewable format! This should be safe with a few hundred printers at once. Hope someone can help me with this as I am totally stumped! =/ Hello,
This is confusing me! - this code is finding 2 rows of data ($nrows is 2), but I'm only getting 1 row of data returned. On the second while loop I'm getting the following error message:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /home/website.com/test.php on line 26
$query ="SELECT * FROM Accounts WHERE (jaaLatitude = '' OR jaaLongitude = '')";
$result=mysql_query($query)
or die ("Connection to database table failed." . mysql_error());
$nrows=mysql_num_rows($result);
$i = 0;
if ($nrows > 0)
{
while($record = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_BOTH))
{
$jaaIndex = $record[jaaIndex];
$jaaEmail = $record[jaaEmail];
$jaaLocation = $record[jaaLocation];
$jaaLongitude = $record[jaaLongitude];
$jaaLatitude = $record[jaaLatitude];
echo "<br>test jaaEmail is $jaaEmail<br>";
$i = $i + 1;
}
}
As I say the first while loop is working, so I don't see what can be wrong with the qurery (it's not failing).
Thanks for your help,

Hello all, I'm writing a page with a simple database with a table called recipes in it with a series of recipes (go figure). I want to display a list of the recipe titles in ascending alphabetical order with each title linked to another page that displays all of the information about the recipe. I can't seem to get anything to display though (not even the titles) but I'm not getting any errors returned either. It seems as if there is nothing in the table to display (even though there are 40 records there). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the code I have so far: Code: [Select] <?php $dbhost = 'localhost'; $dbuser = '*****'; $dbpass = '*****'; $dbname = '*******'; $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to database'); mysql_select_db($dbname) or die('Error selecting the database'); // select data from db to use $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM recipes ORDER BY title ASC LIMIT 0,50") or die('mysql_error()'.'Error: ' .mysql_errno() ); //display the data while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)); { echo"<b><center>Healthy Lifestyle Gourmet Recipes</center></b><br /><br />"; echo "<span class=\"recipelink\"><a href=\"reciperesults.php?id=".$row['id']."\" target=\"_blank\">".$row['title']."</a></span><br/>\n"; } mysql_close(); ?> I starred out the connection variables but, they are all correct in my code (I'm not getting the "or die" errors) Here's the code that deals with the client side:
<?php
session_start();
if(!isset($_SESSION['Logged_in'])){
header("Location: /page.php?page=login");
}

Edited by ShivaGupta, 30 November 2014 - 01:11 AM. How do I send multiple headers with this code? Code: [Select] <?php $postdata = http_build_query( array( 'var1' => 'some content', 'var2' => 'doh' ) ); $opts = array('http' => array( 'method' => 'POST', 'header' => 'Content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded', 'content' => $postdata ) ); $context = stream_context_create($opts); $result = file_get_contents('http://example.com/submit.php', false, $context); ?> *this header: Code: [Select] User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16 Hey, I'm trying to send a form input to a page, and then get the response (as in, the body) from that page without leaving my PHP script. So instead of when you normally submit a form and it will take you to the 'action="/somepage"'. I want it to get that information and bring it back to the original page. No navigation should happen. I'm almost certain this is possible, but the only thing I've found at the moment requires a custom addon - which, isn't on most hosting sites. Sorry if I haven't described this very well, but any help would be appreciated Thanks tree ..and its not working (i replaced <textarea> with <div> to apply some html tags inside it ) and this is my form : Code: [Select] <form action="proc.php" method="post"> <div id="text" name="question_text" class="text" contenteditable="true"></div> </form> but when i submit some text the $_POST['question_text'] is not set ! I am retrieving Google Books info in JSON format and displaying it inside a div. I would like to send the contents of this div (name, title, description) to my database using Ajax.
Currently only the ISBN field sends because I have it declared as a variable. However my question is, how do I send the other fields (name, title, author). How do I declare these also, I'm not sure what format they need to be in etc.
My JS
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#submit').click(function(ev) {
ev.preventDefault();
var isbn = $('#isbn_search').val(); //get isbn direct from input
var url='https://www.googleapis.com/books/v1/volumes?q='+isbn;
$.getJSON(url,function(data){
$.each(data.items, function(entryIndex, entry){
var html = '<div class="results well">';
html += '<h3>' + entry.volumeInfo.title + '</h3>';
html += '<div class="author">' + entry.volumeInfo.authors + '</div>';
html += '<div class="description">' + entry.volumeInfo.description + '</div>';
});
});
});
});
My Ajax;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'addIsbnScript.php',
data: {
'isbn' : isbn,
'title' : title
'subtitle' : subtitle,
'authors' : authors,
'description' : description
},
success: function () {
$.growl({
message: " Record added"
});
}
});
Note, if i manually set the vars like below they all do successfully send to my database, so I know my query is working ok
var title = "some text", var author = "some text", Var description = "some text"Thanks in advance for any help, newbie here (incase it wasn't obvious!).

Quick question for you guys. I am collecting payment data for a product. Is it possible to send data from my form via http directly into another payment form via the post http headers? So say if i had all the details payment info and address info and i matched my form exactly to theirs. Is it possible to write a php script to send the data from my form directly to another websites form to make an order, say amazon or a big site like this? ?first_name=samuel&last_name=east&action=Submit Any Help? Thanks Hello, i want to send and receive data from https url. how it can be done in php? Thanks How to send multipart/form-data ? via curl or so ... here i am going to send it - http://dezend.me/dezend/ I am successfully doing this, however, I believe I am doing it wrong. I am currently doing the following. How should I be doing this? My thought is getObject.php should return JSON, not JavaScript, but I don't know how to assign the received JSON to the myObj variable. Thanks All good with sending single dimensional form data to the server using application/x-www-form-urlencoded, and having PHP convert it into an array. Also, good with sending simple arrays using []. But then I find myself needing to send a deeper object to the server . For example, I have a form with three text inputs simpleFormName 1, 2, and 3 plus some deeper object.
Array
(
[simpleFormName1] => bla
[simpleFormName2] => bla
[simpleFormName3] => bla
[deeperObject] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[prop1] => bla
[prop2] => true
[data] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[p1] => 321
[p2] => 123
)
[1] => Array
(
[p1] => 121
[p2] => 423
)
[2] => Array
(
[p1] => 221
[p2] => 133
)
)
)
[1] => Array
(
[prop1] => blabla
[prop2] => false
[data] => Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[p1] => 222
[p2] => 443
)
[1] => Array
(
[p1] => 321
[p2] => 213
)
[2] => Array
(
[p1] => 111
[p2] => 421
)
)
)
)

I see at least four options: Come up with naming structure which "flattens" the data. I have used this approach in the past, but it quickly becomes difficult to manage and I don't want to do so. Not use PHP's POST and and instead use Content-Type: application/json and file_get_contents(php://input) and json_decode the entire request server side. Use PHP's POST and urlencoding but make deeperObject a string using JSON.stringify and json_decode this one field server side. Urlencode the entire object.simpleFormName1=bla&simpleFormName2=bla&simpleFormName3=bla&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bprop1%5D=bla&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bprop2%5D=true&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp1%5D=321&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp2%5D=123&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B1%5D%5Bp1%5D=121&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B1%5D%5Bp2%5D=423&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B2%5D%5Bp1%5D=221&deeperObject%5B0%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B2%5D%5Bp2%5D=133&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bprop1%5D=blabla&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bprop2%5D=false&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp1%5D=222&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B0%5D%5Bp2%5D=443&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B1%5D%5Bp1%5D=321&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B1%5D%5Bp2%5D=213&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B2%5D%5Bp1%5D=111&deeperObject%5B1%5D%5Bdata%5D%5B2%5D%5Bp2%5D=421 Any recommendations how to best implement? If you recommend using urlencoding for simple forms, but some other approach for more complex data, what criteria do you use to transition from one approach to another? Thanks |
