PHP - Forms And Database Help
I am quite new to this and am working on a site of my own. I am wanting to input data into a database based on the values of two textboxes. I have the general engine set up but there are some problems.
For example when I do the INSERT with values such as: mysql_query("INSERT INTO PageTable (uniqueid, ImageLink, ImageLink2, IP) VALUES ('3434343', 'http://www.example.com/1.jpg', 'http://www.example.com/1.jpg', '94.123.123.9')"); This will go into the database perfectly. However if I do this: mysql_query("INSERT INTO PageTable (uniqueid, ImageLink, ImageLink2, IP) VALUES ($random2, $img1, $img2, $ip)"); Where random2 is rand() and img1 and img2 are the values of the text boes and ip is the ip of the user. When I do this there is no insert into the database. Another thing I noticed was that if I put in '111111111111111111' into the textbox the value in the database is something like 111111111111111.0904039 or something like that, however if I put '111111111111111111' into the INSERT statement it goes into the database perfectly. Also if I put '1' into the textbox it goes in fine but putting 'a' into the textbox and it doesn't! I am sure I am missing something very very basic but I just can't get my head round this! Any help would be much appreciated. Similar TutorialsHello, I'm having a little trouble getting my head around my code here. Basically, I have a table based PHP form in my html page that loops and adds a new row to the table depending on my variables The table itself displays the amount of 'squads' you have, the name of the individual squads, how many people are in your squad, and an 'add button': Your Squads: | People | Form Button Squad 'name' | 2/5 | Add More? Squad 'name' | 3/5 | Add More? Squad 'name' | 1/5 | Add More? Etc ..... Code for this table: Code: [Select] <p><strong> Add Soliders To Squads:</strong> <br />Soliders avalible: <? echo $solidersToAdd ?> <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?>" method="post"> <table width="500" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <?PHP $max = $squadNumbers - 1; $i = 0; while($i <= $max){ $print = $i + 1; echo"<tr>"; echo"<td width=\"200\" height=\"30\"><strong>Squad: ".$names_split[$i]."</strong></td>"; echo"<td width=\"200\" height=\"30\">".$content_split[$i]."/5</td>"; if($content_split[$i] != 5){ echo"<td height=\"30\">"; echo"<input name=\"submitAdd\" type=\"submit\" class=\"SquadWeaponSelector\" id=\"submitAdd_".$i."\" value=\"Add (".$solidersToAdd.")\" /></td>"; } else{ echo"<td height=\"30\">Squad is full</td>"; } $i++; } ?> </table> </form> This all works fine, but its the action form I'm struggling with, what I want is to be able to add a person to the specific squad the user pushed the button for and add to the database. NOTE: my database stores the content (players in squad) like so: 2,3,1 as a varchar and I use explode to split it into an array (this is the same with my squad names too). So here is a snippet of what I got at the top of my document, the form action: Code: [Select] $squadNumbers = $info['squadNumbers']; // = 3 $squadNames = $info['squadNames']; // = Alpha,Beta,Oscar $squadContent = $info['squadContent']; // = 2,3,1 // split the squad content \\ $content_split = explode(",", $squadContent); // split the squad names \\ $names_split = explode(",", $squadNames); $solidersToAdd = 3; // will soon be retrieving off DB if (isset($_POST['submitAdd']) && $solidersToAdd != 0) { $i = 0; $max = $squadNumbers - 1; $newContentArray = array(); while($i <= $max){ $print = $i + 1; $newContentArray[whatever button was pressed] = 1 + $squadContent[whatever button was pressed]; $i++; } //$solidersToAdd--; $glueContent = $_POST['submitAdd_1']; //implode(",",$newContentArray); $result = mysql_query("UPDATE users SET squadContent='$glueContent' WHERE username = '$username'") or die(mysql_error()); } First of, I dont know how to have a button actually pass on a value such as '+1', and I need it to talk specifically to that squad. I would appreciate any help, many thanks in advance. Iv tried asking a lot of people and have had no luck resolving this issue, so I will try here. I have created a Form which gathers its information from a Database. The first form is a Dropdown Option, which when submitted takes you to another page. The new page is Supposed to use the value from the Dropdown to search the database and return the proper rows to populate a few text areas to edit the values. This is where I am stuck. Compared to what most of you create this is probably sloppy and not too well structured, but I am new to this. Anyways, I will provide more information below now. The following is the initial page with the first form. This is where you would select what page you wish to edit. (I believe this may be where the issue resides) - (I included the 'num' value before the 'name' value so that I could see it is getting the value from the database, which it is) <form method="post" action="pageedit.php"><br /> <?php include "config.php"; echo "<select name=\"page\">\n"; $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password"); if (!$conn) { echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error(); exit; } if (!mysql_select_db("$database")) { echo "Unable to select $database: " . mysql_error(); exit; } $sql = "SELECT * FROM sitePages"; $result = mysql_query($sql); if (!$result) { echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error(); exit; } if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting"; exit; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo "<option value='"; echo $row['num']; echo "'>"; echo $row['num']; echo " - "; echo $row['name']; echo "</option>"; } echo "</select>"; ?> <br /> <input type="submit" /> </form> And then the following is the page that the form is sent to when submitted: (I have attempted to Echo the 'num' value sent so that I could verify that it is indeed sent, but it is not. I will post the message I receive after the PHP snippet <form method="post" action="pageeditinsert.php"><br /> <?php include "config.php"; echo $_POST['num']; $num=$_POST['num']; $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password"); if (!$conn) { echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error(); exit; } if (!mysql_select_db("$database")) { echo "Unable to select $database: " . mysql_error(); exit; } $sql = "SELECT * FROM sitepages WHERE num = '$num'"; $result = mysql_query($sql); if (!$result) { echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error(); exit; } if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) { echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting"; exit; } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { echo "<input name'num' type='hidden' class='form1' value='"; echo $num; echo "' maxlength='10' id='cat' /><br /><br /><br />"; echo "<input name='name' type='text' class='form1' value='"; echo $row['name']; echo "' maxlength='20' id='name' /><br /><br />"; echo "<input name='desc' type='text' class='form1' value='"; echo $row['desc']; echo "' maxlength='100' id='desc' /><br /><br /><br />"; echo "<input name='title' type='text' class='form1' value='"; echo $row['title']; echo "' maxlength='100' id='title' /><br /><br /><br />"; echo "<input name'cat' type='hidden' class='form1' value='cat' maxlength='3' id='cat' /><br /><br /><br />"; } ?> <br /><br /><br /> <center><input type="submit" /><input type="reset" /></center> </form> Below is the message I receive when attempting to echo the POSTed 'num' value: Quote Notice: Undefined index: num in C:\wamp\www\gondieCOM\editor\edit\pageedit.php on line 16 Call Stack # Time Memory Function Location 1 0.0025 687600 {main}( ) ..\pageedit.php:0 (I am running the latest WAMP release on my personal PC for testing purposes until I have finished this and upload it to my hosting server) Anyways thanks for your time. Hopefully someone has an idea for me. I have the following code, (I'm sorry it's so long an it does more that the question asks.) It's ment to edit, delete and make new links in a mysql database, by also using a link header to home all the links (Like a dropdown menu) And thig manages the links. However then the update, or when the new form is submitted it leaves then titlereg field blank. (The titlereg is the id of the main link, it's called reg in the title_reg database) I know this is complicated and i'm not too good at explaining the problem but any help would be great. I have commented on anything that could help. <?php include "../includes/mysql_connect.php"; include "../includes/info_files.php"; echo "<strong>Links</strong><br />"; echo "Currect links:<br /><br />"; if($_POST['submit']){ $name = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['name']); $titlereg = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['titlereg']); $url = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['url']); $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']); mysql_query("UPDATE nav_sub SET name='$name', SET titlereg='$titlereg', SET url='$url' WHERE reg='$id'"); ////////////////////////////////// Here will help, the update MY SQL thingie echo "Link Changed.<br /><br />"; } elseif($_POST['remove']){ $id = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['id']); mysql_query("DELETE FROM nav_sub WHERE reg='$id'"); echo "Link deleted.<br /><br />"; } else{ $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM nav_sub"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo '<strong>' . $row['name'] .

'</option>'; ////////////////////////////////// Here isn't submitting the value in the option } echo '</select>'; echo '<input type="submit" name="new_submit" value="Insert" /><br />'; echo '</form>'; ?> By the way, explain simply as I'm only 13 At the moment I am creating a search function for my website. The approach I have in mind is a pseudo-PHP database. To give an example: A HTML form will submit the results to a PHP file. HTML FORM - Colour: Black PHP RESULT PAGE - if ($_POST['color'] == 'Black') {readfile("./products/black/*.html");} HTML FORM - Price: <$50 PHP RESULT PAGE - if ($_POST['Price'] == '<$50') {readfile("./products/less50/*.html");} The problem here is if there is an item that is black and costs less than $50, then its going to be listed twice. There is probably some code I can write to ommit the listing of duplicate entries, but it is probably going to be messy, so I am wondering if its better to use a centralized MySQL database, rather than a pseudo-PHP database? I've never used MySQL and don't know much about it and this is my first real attempt at using PHP. after cloasing connection of database i still got the values form database. Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); /* * To change this template, choose Tools | Templates * and open the template in the editor. */ require_once '../database/db_connecting.php'; $dbname="sahansevena";//set database name $con= setConnections();//make connections use implemented methode in db_connectiong.php mysql_select_db($dbname, $con); //update the time and date of the admin table $update_time="update admin set last_logged_date =CURDATE(), last_log_time=CURTIME() where username='$uname'limit 3,4"; //my admin table contain 5 colums they are id, username,password, last_logged_date, last_log_time $link= mysql_query($update_time); // mysql_select_db($dbname, $link); //$con=mysql_connect('localhost', 'root','ijts'); $result="select * from admin where username='a'"; $result=mysql_query($result); mysql_close($con); //here i just check after closing data baseconnection whether i do get reselts but i do, why? echo "after the cnnection was closed"; if(!$result){ echo "cont fetch data"; }else{ $row= mysql_fetch_array($result); echo "id".$row[0]."usrname".$row[1]."passwped".$row[2]."date".$row[3]."time".$row[4]; } // echo "<html>"; //echo "<table border='1' cellspacing='1' cellpadding='2' align='center'>"; // echo "<thead>"; // echo"<tr>"; // echo "<th>"; // echo ID; // echo"</th>"; // echo" <th>";echo Username; echo"</th>"; // echo"<th>";echo Password; echo"</th>"; // echo"<th>";echo Last_logged_date; echo "</th>"; // echo "<th>";echo Last_logged_time; echo "</th>"; // echo" </tr>"; // echo" </thead>"; // echo" <tbody>"; //while($row= mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_BOTH)){ // echo "<tr>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[0]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[1]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[2]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[3]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "<td>"; // echo $row[4]; // echo "</td>"; // echo "</tr>"; // } // echo" </tbody>"; // echo "</table>"; // echo "</html>"; session_destroy(); session_commit(); echo "session and database are closed but i still get values from doatabase session is destroyed".$_SESSION['admin']; ?> session is destroyed but database connection is not closed. thanks hello everyone, I am about to start coding my pages to display results from a database but before i do i want to know information about the following : Is it best to upload images to a database?and display them accordingly? or is it best to use images from a directory? What is most commonly used and or more reliable? Another topic i have trouble finding information on is actually positioning the output from you mysql database, is this practice done with tables?fields and rows? What is this method called? And is there more then one way to go about controlling result layout on your page? Sorry about the 1001 questions , but i am unable to find a clear answer on the topic ..especially question two . Thanks in advance. I have a very tricky php problem here. At least for me. On a page that is editing a job entry. I have a database generated group of checkboxes some of which have been checked when the job was entered. So the script has to do two things generate the complete list of checkboxes and check the ones that have already been selected in the job request. The below script is what I've done trying to figure it out. Description of what I'm trying to do: I'm generating the the boxes with a call to my database for the list of checkboxes. Then I'm building an array with all the possible items that could be checked to compare against. Ok here is where I think my first problem is. I need to make a second query to another table "worklog" in the same database. This is where the list of checked items are stored. What is the best way to do this? A second query seems wrong "or at least not efficient" Code: [Select] <div class="text">Job Type (<a class="editlist" href="javascript:editlist('listedit.php?edit=typelist',700,400);">edit list</a>):</div> <div class="field"> <?PHP $connection=mysql_connect ("localhost", "user", "password") or die ("I cannot connect to the database."); $db=mysql_select_db ("database", $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $query = "SELECT type FROM typelist ORDER BY type ASC"; $sql_result = mysql_query($query, $connection) or die (mysql_error()); $i=1; echo '<table valign="top"><tr><td>'; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql_result)) { $type = $row["type"]; if ($i > 1 && $i % 26 == 0) echo '</td><td>'; else if ($i) echo ''; ++$i; $aTypes = array ("Spec Ad Campaign", "100 x 100 Logo", "100 x 35 (Featured Developer/Broker)", "100 x 40 (Featured Lender)", "120 x 180 (Home Page Auto)", "120 x 45 (Half Tile - Jobs)", "120x60 (Section Sponsor)", "125 x 40 (Profile Page logo)", "135 x 31 (Autos)", "135 x 60 (Autos)", "135 x 60 (Logotile - Jobs)", "150 x 40 (Auto Logo)", "160 x 240 (monster tile)", "160 x 400 (Skyscraper)", "160 x 600 (Tower)", "170x30 (Section Sponsor)", "240 x 180 JPG/GIF Auto Video", "240 x 180 size FLV video ", "300 x 250 (Story Ad)", "300 x 600 (Halfpage)", "468 x 60 (Banner Jpg/Gif)", "728 x 90 (Leaderboard)", "95 x 75 (Sweeps Logo) ", "Agent Profile Page", "Contest", "Creative Change", "Employer Profile", "Holiday Shop", "Home of the Week", "HP Half Banner (234 x 60 Static)", "Mobile Ads (320x53 *300x50*216x36*168x28)", "Newsletter", "Peelback", "Pencil Ad", "Print", "Real Deals", "Resize ad campaign", "Roll-Over Skyscraper", "Site Sponsor logo (170x30)", "Splash Page Production", "Travel Deals Update", "Video Ad", "Web Development", "Web Maintenance", "Web Quote (or Design)"); $dbTypes = explode(',',$row['type']); foreach ($aTypes as $type){ if(in_array($aType,$dbTypes)){ echo "<input style='font-size:10px;' name='type[]' type='checkbox' value='$type' CHECKED><span style='color:#000;'>$type</span></input><br/>"; }else { echo "<input style='font-size:10px;' name='type[]' type='checkbox' value='$type'><span style='color:#000;'>$type</span></input><br/>"; } } } echo '</td></tr></table>'; ?> </div> I have a standard form that displays users current data from a mysql database once logged in(code obtained from the internet). Users can then edit their data then submit it to page called editform.php that does the update. All works well except that the page does not display the updated info. Users have to first logout and login again to see the updated info. even refreshing the page does not show the new info. Please tell me where the problem is as i am new to php.

I need someone that is really good with php forms, looking for major help. Hello, I just assembly a form and for styling it I am using CSS in an external file. Problem is that IE8 and I don't know about 7 (in IE9 is ok) it doesn't show the styling inside the form... My structure is something like this: (in any other situation my css styling is displayed normally) Code: [Select] <form> <span class="myclass"> </span> </form>Is there any fix for it? Thank you I am attempting to create a login page, but my script is giving errors in relation to the forms.

Also, how do you stored the form data into the datebase and how do you display a list of submitted forms by the user to the user. ok i have a questions i making a form so when users sign up to my website they we have an account page and in the account page the will have some more fields they need to filll in which i would use INSERT to put the things inside my db but what if they want to update there account should i use UPDATE We have this form that customers can make their own contact forms, and then it gets inserted to the database. We can show the forms with no problems, the problem lies when someone hits submit, how do I echo out the values of the form when I'm not sure what the input name or id is going to be? This sample form generated this code Code: [Select] <div class="element"> <label id="label-element-3" class="label" style="color:#4DBCE9;font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:normal;"> <span class="labelelementvalue">Email</span> <span class="required">*</span></label> <div class="errormessage" id="errormessage-element-3"></div> <div class="option-container"> <input class="af-inputtext af-email af-formvalue " type="text" name="element-3" id="element-3" value="" style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;font-weight:normal;width:260px;border-style:solid; border-color:#dcdcdc;-moz-border-radius:5px;-khtml-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;border-radius:5px;border-width:1px;padding:5px;"></div> </div> <div class="element"> <label id="label-element-4" class="label" style="color:#4DBCE9;font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:1.2em;font-weight:normal;"> <span class="labelelementvalue">Textarea</span></label> <div class="errormessage" id="errormessage-element-4"></div> <div class="option-container"> <textarea class="af-textarea af-formvalue " name="element-4" id="element-4" style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana;font-size:0.8em;font-weight:normal;width:300px;border-style:solid; border-color:#dcdcdc;-moz-border-radius:5px;-khtml-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;border-radius:5px;border-width:1px;padding:5px;" rows="6"></textarea></div> </div> <div class="element"> </div> If you notice, each input type is named "element-" with a number afterwards. So each input could be like "element-4", "element-21", and so forth. How would I post those values of the input fields when they are automatically named? Thanks in advance I am starting to build out a class to handle forms. I want to be able to add and edit data in some cases and just add data in other cases. Also want to do some ajax stuff to prevent from having to reload the pages in certain cases. I would like to view how some other form classes work so I can model mine to what I like about others but suit my needs. I was wondering if anyone has worked with any preexisting form classes that they could recommend. I know libraries like zend and so on have these built in and wasnt sure if anyone liked any one specifically and why. hi, I have a form in which some information is required but the username is optional however if it is left blank it says that username is taken please choose another one. how can I make it accept it if a username isn't entered?
