PHP - Quick Fix - Form Entering Blank Records - Same Old Problem

My script is finally working as intended, but I want to add some additional data results.

I am trying to resolve how I can display a count of ONLY the records updated by my query:

// START :: Query to replace matches
mysql_query("UPDATE orig_codes_1a AS a
      JOIN old_and_new_codes_1a AS b ON concat(a.orig_code_1, a.orig_code_2) = concat(b.old_code_1, b.old_code_2)
   SET a.orig_code_1 = b.new_code_1,
                           a.orig_code_2 = b.new_code_2") or die(mysql_error());
// END :: Query to replace matches


In this query I count ALL records selection:


// START :: Create query to be displayed as final results of original codes table.
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM orig_codes_1a") 
or die(mysql_error());  

I want to display a count on this part of the query:

....concat(a.orig_code_1, a.orig_code_2) = concat(b.old_code_1, b.old_code_2)....

Ok I dont understand why my php form keeps sending me blank emails. Because I have a checker with java script. Did I do something wrong in my coding with the php forms or is it just the javascript on the sites problem?

Here is the php form code:
Code: [Select]

<script language="JavaScript">
function checkForm()
{

var cname, caddress, cphone, cemail, ccontact;
with(window.document.msgform)
{
cname    = name;
caddress = address;
cphone = phone;
cemail    = email;
ccontact   = contact;

}


   if(trim(cname.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your name');
      cname.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(caddress.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your address');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(cphone.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your phone number');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(!isEmail(trim(cemail.value)))
   {
      alert('Email address is not valid');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   else if(trim(ccontact.value) == '')
   {
      alert('Please enter your contact person');
      cemail.focus();
      return false;
   }
   
   
else
{
cname.value    = trim(cname.value);
caddress.value = trim(caddress.value);
cphone.value = trim(cphone.value);
cemail.value   = trim(cemail.value);
ccontact.value   = trim(ccontact.value);
return true;
}

Hi People.

Does anyone have any idea why this form is showing as a blank page on my site?  Can you see what I've missed?

Google Chrome Developer Tool causes an error when I run the following and there are not any records.  I keep getting errors when I try to change it.

 

<?php
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$pass = '';
$database = 'ecommerce';

$options = array(
    PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE => PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION,
    PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => false
);

$keyword = $_GET['keyword'];

$dbo = new PDO("mysql:host=$host;dbname=$database", $user, $pass, $options);


$q1 = "SELECT * FROM products INNER JOIN keywords on keywords.keywordID = products.KeywordID  and keywords.KeyWord1  = \"$keyword\"  ";

$counter = 10;
$counter1 = 0;

foreach ($dbo->query($q1) as $row) {
  
  

 

First of all excuse me if this topic is inappropriate in this forum. But I think it's rather a PHP problem.

I can't figure out multiple duplicate database records on submitting a form.

The database table have two columns:  the first one 'Id' with AUTO_INCREMENT and the second one 'Name'.

Here's the php code for database insertion and the form:
------------------------------------------------------------------

<?php

if($_GET['add_name']){
    $host = *******;
    $user = *******';
    $pass = *******;
    $db = *******;
    $con = mysql_connect($host,$user,$pass) or die;
    mysql_select_db($db,$con);
   
    $name = $_GET['add_name'];
    $sql = "INSERT INTO names (Name) VALUES ('$name')";
    mysql_query($sql);
}

?>

<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] ?>" method="GET">
Your Name:
<input name="add_name" type="text"  />
<input type="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>

------------------------------------------------------------------

After submitting the form to itself once I have multiple Name entries with different Ids. The curious thing is that with Chrome browser
I get two duplicate records, with Mozilla - three of them.
Seems like mysql_query runs multiple times.

It works fine when submitting the form to a separate script and not to itself.

Do I miss something? It must be very basic.

I have a hopefully small issue on a form submitting data to the mysql database table and email. The email side works fine as does the adding the data to the database table but if I upload two files, it stores the support ticket twice in the database table where as I want to store just once and the files be stored as a array in the database table. I got the code from the link https://www.codexworld.com/upload-multiple-images-store-in-database-php-mysql/

The code I have is below

 

<?php

require_once "registerconfig.php";

if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
		
		// File upload configuration 
    $targetDir = "support-ticket-images/"; 
    $allowTypes = array('pdf','doc','docx','jpg','png','jpeg','gif');
	
	$statusMsg = $errorMsg = $insertValuesSQL = $errorUpload = $errorUploadType = '';
	
	// Escape user inputs for security
$ticket_subject = htmlentities($_POST['ticket_subject'], ENT_QUOTES);
$ticket_message = strip_tags($_POST['ticket_message'], ENT_QUOTES);
$ticket_status ='PENDING SUPPORT'; 
$username = htmlentities($_SESSION["user_name"], ENT_QUOTES);
$user_id = htmlentities($_SESSION["user_id"], ENT_QUOTES);
	
	$fileNames = array_filter($_FILES['files']['name']);
	if(!empty($fileNames)){ 
        foreach($_FILES['files']['name'] as $key=>$val){ 
            // File upload path

The structure of the db table column is file_name, VARCHAR(255), latin1_swedish_ci, NOT NULL

I want to pull some records  plus unique key from one mysql table and then use them as questions in a form/questionnaire.

The post form will have six radio buttons  to the right of the fields pulled with the key posted but hidden and will wirte to another table.

I guess this is a templating question- as I've successfully retrieved the table 1 records via a query - I just can't seem to use them in the form. Below is the code I'm using to view table "PCM1"

<?php // query.php
require_once 'login.php';
$db_server = mysql_connect($db_hostname, $db_username, $db_password);

if (!$db_server) die("Unable to connect to MySQL: " . mysql_error());

mysql_select_db($db_database)
or die("Unable to select database: " . mysql_error());

$query = "SELECT * FROM pcm1";
$result = mysql_query($query);

if (!$result) die ("Database access failed: " . mysql_error());

$rows = mysql_num_rows($result);

for ($j = 0 ; $j < $rows ; ++$j)
{
echo 'RID: '   . mysql_result($result,$j,'mcde')  ;
echo 'Statement: '    . mysql_result($result,$j,'oppclub')    . '<br />';

;
}

Hello, I've looked around at some previous posts and can't seem to get them to work for me.
I'm occasionally receiving blank emails from my contact form,
i.e.
Name:
Email:
Subject:
Message:
with no fields filled out.
No doubt the cause is my form.
It has validation, and I'm aware that with JS turned off, the validation won't work, but I find it hard to believe that people are just submitting blank forms, I'm confused, and am worried that I'm getting emails and not realizing it!

My code is below, if you can point me in the right direction or point out the problem area that would be great!

Good morning,
  I am a beginner at PHP, but trying to write a simple script to use at work and currently stuck on one part, looking for some advice!

I have a simple form here > http://jmdostal.com/route2.php (Feel free to use it to test), that returns data on the next page, in a format such as :

Jose F - Jose A - 285
Brenda L [Delivery] [Dallas] - Items
Job 2 [Pickup] [Arlington] - Items
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -

Gustavo - +1 - 284/pickup
Jody W [Delivery] [Keller] - Items
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -
[] [] -

My question is how can I get it not to show the fields that are empty, so I dont have a bunch of lines with  [] [] - formatting

Here is my coding you can view here > http://jmdostal.com/code.txt

A friend had suggested to me trying to use isset , so I tried it on a few lines, such as :

if(isset($_POST['items14'])){
$items14 = "- ". Trim(stripslashes($_POST['items14'])); 
}

But it didnt seem to change anything.

Im sure this is something simply,
Any suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks !

Hi all,

I am currently returning candidates from a database initially just by the highest candidate id to the lowest... i.e. newest candidates to oldest.

I have introduced a sort feature which works just fine, the problem is I am displaying my results over a few pages using pagination.

The problem arises once I sort my results and then try to click onto the next page of results. Basically it is just resetting the sort as the sort relies on a button being pressed, which obviously isn't happening when the user is trying to get the next page of results.

I'm not sure exactly which section of code would be relevant to this so I have posted the whole script... additionally if you need to take a look at it in action you can do so he

http://www.beta.teachingagencies.co.uk/search_jobseekers.php

As I say I know the problem is that when the page is changed the value is lost, but I don't have a clue how to solve the problem!

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Many thanks,

Greens85

MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Can I replace the set message text for $body and $subject with $_POST['message']; $_POST['subject']; so I can get a users input from a html form via php as the action.  Instead of the set text in the script.
As seen http://email.about.com/od/emailprogrammingtips/qt/PHP_Email_SMTP_Authentication.htm

I have a basicc form that takes users info and when they submit it it show on a new web page in the proper order. I need to know how do I skip a blank field. This form takes a users First, Middle, and Last name but many times they leave the middle name blank so I would want to skip this field from showing up when the form is posted. Here is what I have for the basic php script ..Would like to know how to skip a field if it is left blank on the form.
 
echo $_POST["First"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Middle"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Last"], print "."; ?><?php echo $_POST["Persona1"], print ".";<br />

Hey all. I'm a noob so bare with me. Just started studying php and have an assignment due. At this phase of the project I have to create a form where a user can register data and I should retrieve that data and store it in my database. Now I have already created the form (student_reg.php) and a separate file with php code (demo.php)

My database is name "registration" and I am trying to put this info in the "student" table. It has about 15 fields but for now I am only trying trying to insert the 1 field of data to test if it works. Dont know if that may cause problems?

So far my demo.php connects to the database successfully. The problem I am having is the information I submit does not showing in the database field. However, I have an id field in my case a student number field which is set to auto increment so it automatically updates (1,2,3,4) with each new sumbitted info. When I submit the info the id field gets updated each time with a new row ( so i assume some information is somehow going through ) however the info I entered will remain blank in its field. :banghead:

Heres my form (student_reg.php)

Code: [Select]
<div id="apdiv3">

<FORM action = "demo.php" method ="post ">

<p>Course name:</p>
<INPUT TYPE = "text"  name="input"/>
<INPUT TYPE = "Submit" VALUE = "Submit"/>
</div>
</FORM>

and heres my php code to retrieve the form info

Code: [Select]
<?PHP


include 'includes/config.php';

//connect to database
$link=mysql_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD);



//error check
if (!$link)
{
die('could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

$db_selected=mysql_select_db(DB_NAME, $link);



// error check
if (!$db_selected)
{
die('can\t use ' . DB_NAME . ': ' . mysql_error());
}
// Connected to database



// retrieve form data
$value=(isset($_POST['input']));

$sql = "INSERT INTO student (sname) VALUES ('$value')";


if (!mysql_query($sql))
{
die ('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_close();


?>

I also recieved a notice "undefined index" or something like that from this part of the code "$value=(isset($_POST['input']));" before I inserted "isset" to the code. I'm not sure if what I did fixed the problem or only hid it, or whether that notice was related to the problem I'm having of not retrieving the info.

Haha sorry guys know this is probably childs play for you but I just started out and really need to fix this so I can catch up with this project. Feel free to add tips and comments on other areas. Thanks :mrgreen:

As expected when a die statement is triggered, my script is exited and ALL of the fields that have been filled in on my form are wiped clean. 
This however is proving to be annoying for users making mistakes. 
Is there a way to keep the data in the correctly filled in fields, and to just wipe or highlight the incorrectly filled in fields?
