PHP - How To Keep $_post Value

I think this belongs here, but my $_POST['gender'] won't grab the gender that was submitted through a form.

I am using AJAX so the page doesn't have to reload so it can go in a smooth transition, but the AJAX is grabbing the value perfectly fine.
I have a feeling the $_POST isn't grabbing the value because the page isn't reloading.. but I don't want to reload it.
These codes are all on the same page.

Here is my Javascript:
Code: [Select]
<script>
function chooseGender()
{
var gender = $('input[name=gender]:checked', '#submitgender').val();
if(gender)
{
$.ajax(
{
type: "POST",
url: window.location.pathname,
data: gender,
success: function()
{
alert("You have chosen to be a " + gender); //It's grabbing it perfectly fine!
$("#submitgender").hide(); //It hides the gender table so they can't choose a gender since they already have chosen one.
$("#rest").fadeIn(); //Shows the other table that's labeled "rest" as it's ID so they can choose what base, eyes, etc for that specific gender they've chosen.
}
});
}
else
{
alert('Select a gender.');
}
}

$(function tabs()
{
$( "#tabs" ).tabs();
});
</script>
But here is the PHP inside the #rest table:
Code: [Select]
<?php
$gender = $_POST['gender'];

$sql = "SELECT * FROM habases WHERE gender='".$gender."'";
$result = mysqli_query($cxn, $sql) or die(mysqli_error($cxn));
print_r($sql);
while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$baseimage = $row['image'];
$baseskin = $row['skin'];

echo "<img src=\"http://www.elvonica.com/".$baseimage."\" value=\"".$baseskin."\">";
}
?>
And this is what I'm getting for the print_r:
Quote

SELECT * FROM habases WHERE gender=''

Hi All,

I am having a bit of difficulty with a form I've built that has some PHP elements in it. The issue is it is just not sending the values (which are in hidden fields).

Code is:

Code: [Select]
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){

echo '<tr style="padding: 15px;">';
echo '<td>' . $row['product_id'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['name'] . '</td>';
echo '<td>' . $row['catalogue_id'] . '</td>';
                         ?>           
<td>
            <form method="post"  enctype="multipart/form-data" action="<?php echo str_replace( '%7E', '~', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); ?>">
            <!--Hidden Field Checks to see if form has already been sent-->
<input type="hidden" name="editform" value="Y">
            <!--Hidden Fields for Edit Job-->
<input type="hidden" name="prodid" value="<?php echo $row['product_id'] ?>">           
            <input type="hidden" name="prodname" value="<?php echo $row['name'] ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="catalogue_id" value="<?php echo $row['catalogue_id'] ?>">
            <input type="hidden" name="full_description" value="<?php echo $row['full_description'] ?>">   
            <input type="submit" name="Edit" value="<?php _e('Edit', 'pmimp_trdom' ) ?>" />
            </form>
            </td>

Would it have something to do with splitting up the php tags?
Any help would be apprecited!

Thanks!

It generates a image and gets data from the name thats in the url. I am wanting to make a form where they fill out their name and what color they use.

What is wrong?

This is really weird.below is the code

<input type="radio" name="rd" onchange="getpost('test1')">
<input type="radio" name="rd" onchange="getpost('test2')">

here is the javascript function

function getpost(x)
{
 document.getElementById("fillthis").value=x;
 document.frm1.submit();
}

here is frm1

<form name="frm1" method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>">
<input type="hidden" name="fillthis" id="fillthis">
</form>


here is my php code:

<?php

if(!empty($_POST['fillthis']))
{
  echo $_POST['fillthis'];
}

?>

The problem i had is that i can only get the $_POST['fillthis'] result in FF and GOOGLE CHROME but not in IE

can anyone help me with this? thanks

How do I post data when a user clicks a link?

I know that for a submit button you just use the name attribute, but I'm not sure how to do it with a link.

Running into some problems with my code.  I am having the user search the Database with either a UAID or the user's full name.  It works fine when you input both the UAID and name; however, I want it to work if only one is give (i.e. just the name or just the UAID).

I decided to use the isset($_POST) function of php but I am not getting it to work correctly.  PHP believe it is set even though it is empty.

Here is my html form.

<?php
@include 'accesscontrol.php';

Hi guys! I need your help..
I'm having a problem in getting the post values from my form,
I have 2 arrays and some values:
Code: [Select]
$total = 3;
$array1 = (branch1, branch2, branch3);
$array2 = (100, 200, 300);
$count = count($array1) - $total;
then i combine them
Code: [Select]
$array3 = combine_array($array1, $array2);
if $count is 0, using a foreach loop i echo each value and key
Code: [Select]
foreach($combined_array as $value => $key)
{
echo "<tr>";

echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='branch' value='{$value}'></td>";
        echo "<td id='edit'>" . "<input type='submit' name='edit' value='' />" . "</td>";
echo "<td id='sep'> / </td>";
echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='id' value='{$key}'></td>";
echo "<td id='del'>" . "<input type='submit' name='delete' value='' />" . "</td>";
very simple and it works perfectly fine,
but  if the variable $count is not equal to 0, i append both arrays(1 & 2) so that it will be equal to 0. (data appended is not important i just need them for the table output.)
Code: [Select]
for($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++)
{
     $array1[] = "null" . $i;
     $array2[] = $i;
}
// then combine
    $array3 = combine_array($array1, $array2);

// echo each value and key
foreach($combined_array as $value => $key)
{
echo "<tr>";

echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='branch' value='{$value}'></td>";
        echo "<td id='edit'>" . "<input type='submit' name='edit' value='' />" . "</td>";
echo "<td id='sep'> / </td>";
echo "<td><input type='hidden' name='id' value='{$key}'></td>";
echo "<td id='del'>" . "<input type='submit' name='delete' value='' />" . "</td>";
       echo "</tr>";
i tried to view the code souce and both hidden fields contain correct data but if i tried to delete/edit it doesn't work.
i tried echoing/print_r the $_POST['branch'] & $_POST['id'] after i click on delete/edit and it always gives me the last $value and $key of the combined array for all the submit buttons..

Any thoughts?
As i said the appended data is not important but the problem is once i click delete  the original values in array1 and 2 are not what post is giving me..therefore i cannot delete or edit them..
Sorry if my post is too long..
Thanks in advance!

hi good day, im a little bit confuse. what i want to do is instead of $username = $_POST['username']; is to transform it into OOP?

please help me. thanks.

I have a form with radio buttons, depending on if a person selects yes, they will be given an answer after they hit submit.

I don't want to do a bunch if un-necessary coding, so I'm trying something else, but it's not working.

My form is this
Code: [Select]
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
        <tr>
          <td align="center" valign="top">Yes</td>
          <td align="center" valign="top"><input type="radio" name="phone1" id="phone1" value="1" /></td>
          <td align="center" valign="top">No</td>
          <td align="center" valign="top"><input type="radio" name="phone1" id="phone1" value="2" /></td>
        </tr>
       
      </table>


My code is this
Code: [Select]
  <?php
  if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

$key;  
$key['phone1'] = "testing phone 1";
$key['phone2'] = "testing phone 2.";
  
foreach( $_POST as $key => $value) {
if($value == "1"){
echo $key."<br />";
}
}
  }
?>

Now, it does not show the wording associated with $key if the value is 1.

Can anybody help me out here? This form is going to have over 100 questions.

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys i am using a global filter on my $_POST

function filter($str){return htmlentities($str, ENT_QUOTES);}
$_POST = array_map('filter', $_POST);

It helps me encode the stuff into the database.
It works great on all my fields exept my arrays ...

Ex: fields like this <input type="text" name="name[]" size="20"> breaks

Any sugestions on gething this global filter working?

I have a button that uses $_POST to send information to another page.  The data is in a hidden input so it's not possible for users to change information.  I have nothing to check if the data is correct on the other page.  Is it still possible for people to change the $_POST data though?  Or somehow send false $_POST data to the other page?

Hey,

I have a database with user info in it. I was wondering would it be possible to have a link post info to a page and then have that page display info relevant to the received info?...

Link page:
<a href="profile.php?name=<? print $_GET['Username'] ?>" method="post"><? $row['Username'] ?></a>

Profile page:

<?php
$username = $_POST['Username'];
$query = $query = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM users WHERE Username')
?>
You are viewing: <? echo $username ?>'s profile.

Email: <? echo $row['Email'] ?>


I have predefined $row.

Is it possible to do this way or would I have to use a different method?...

Cheers

Hi guys i am a PHP newbie trying to learn from the beginning. I am reading a php book and i can't get past a particular example because $_GET and $_POST just won't work. Below is the code i am working with:

HTML File
<form action="welcome1.php" method="get">
    <div>
     <label for="firstname">First name: <input type="text" name"firstname"
      id="firstname"/></label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <label for="lastname">
            Last name: <input type="text" name="lastname" id="lastname"/>
        </label>
    </div>
    <div>
        <input type="submit" value="GO" />
    </div>

PHP file

<?php
 $firstname = $_GET['firstname'];
 $lastname = $_GET['lastname'];
 print 'Welcome to our website, ' .
    htmlspecialchars($firstname, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . ' ' .
    htmlspecialchars($lastname, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') . '!';
?>

I am working on a windows pc with Vista home edition installed. I run a localhost server installed via XAMMP. Please this has been a recurring problem for me. Each time i get to this stage in the past i always get stuck. $_GET and $_POST just does not work for me. Please heeeelp!

Is it possible to redefine a $_POST after PHP has received the value of it via a HTML form?
Something like this:


if ($_POST['category'] == "Belts") {
        $_POST['category'] = "belts";
}
