PHP - Moved: Is There Anyway To Tell If The Browser Has Entered Default Form Values?

Greetings,

I am trying to create a basic booking system, for example there may be 3 events that a user can book. If the user clicks 'Book Now' on Event #1

I need it to take them to the HTML/PHP booking form with the information already entered that is relevant to Event #1 (Or whatever event they choose), such as the event name, time, date etc

I know how to create a contact form etc, its just the carrying of the information over to the form I dont know how to do.

Does anyone know if this is possible/ how it could be achieved?

Any help will be much appreciated,
Thanks!

So I built a form and if anyone puts // in the text area field named Code: [Select]
name="background" it won't work... it fails.

This prevents users from entering website URLs, which is an issue since the form is related to website design.  I think I have everything else working just fine.

Any ideas how I can change this so it will work and allow // ?  There may be other things that cannot be entered or maybe a security risk I am missing... here is the code...

Code: [Select]
<?php

    // version 2.2

    // All placeholders that are used such as {yourEmail@yourDomain.com}, {yourSolve360Token}, {ownership},

I'm building a php program that registers users onto a website. With the help of people from this thread http://www.phpfreaks.com/forums/index.php?topic=332260.15
I was able to accomplish the goal and now the signup works with conditions that check for a valid email, and if the password is strong enough.

T he program correctly displays the the problem when a user does NOT enter a valid email, or a strong enough password, but the user has to re-enter the email and password everytime.

I want to make it so that the fields remained populated with what the user entered previously, so he or she does not have to re-enter his or her email/password.

Here is the code (its really ghetto)

Code: [Select]
<?php

function check_email_address($email) {
    // First, we check that there's one @ symbol, and that the lengths are right
    if (!ereg("^[^@]{1,64}@[^@]{1,255}$", $email)) {
        // Email invalid because wrong number of characters in one section, or wrong number of @ symbols.
        return false;
    }
    // Split it into sections to make life easier
    $email_array = explode("@", $email);
    $local_array = explode(".", $email_array[0]);
    for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($local_array); $i++) {
         if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-][A-Za-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~\.-]{0,63})|(\"[^(\\|\")]{0,62}\"))$", $local_array[$i])) {
            return false;
        }
    }    
    if (!ereg("^\[?[0-9\.]+\]?$", $email_array[1])) { // Check if domain is IP. If not, it should be valid domain name
        $domain_array = explode(".", $email_array[1]);
        if (sizeof($domain_array) < 2) {
                return false; // Not enough parts to domain
        }
        for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($domain_array); $i++) {
            if (!ereg("^(([A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9-]{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])|([A-Za-z0-9]+))$", $domain_array[$i])) {
                return false;
            }

I trying to display data from a database for editing

I have 2 table:

1. tbl_proizvodi_karakteristike (Translate: tbl_product_caracteristics)
- In this table i have list of product caracteristic relatet to product 'id' in table 'tbl_product_list' (this 'tbl_product_list' is not important now)
- field: id, opis, vrednsot, proizvod_id

2. tbl_karakteristike (Translate: tbl_caracteristic)
- In this table i have list of all caracteristic
- field: id, opis

in field 'opis' in table 'tbl_proizvodi_karakteristike' i insert 'id' from 'tbl_karkateristike' and that works ok with combo box.
But, when  i try to edit value in 'tbl_proizvodi_karakteristike', i do not know how to show current value in combo box (i have list of value from 'tbl_karakteristike' in combox, starting from first)
For examle, if i know that value in selected caracteristics is 'opis = 25', it means that i in combo box on load edit form mast have first value 25 and rest of posible value. For now i have value '1 and rest of value'

Hiar is current code in edit form

Code: [Select]

Am new here - looks like a great foru!

I would sincerely appreciate any help anyone can give me. I have been
trying to solve my problem for hours and I am not having any luck, so I
thought I would post and see if anyone can help. I am very stuck and am
not making much progress on this project, and I am certain the answer is
very simple.

I am constructing a form to collect data for a specialized purpose. 

The form and program actually work for its intended function, but I am
trying to enhance the user experience by preventing customers from
having to reenter all of their data should there be a problem with any
of the data submitted.

I have been able to do that with the contact form portion, but what I am
having trouble with is the portion which has as many as 400 possible
entries.

So, in a nutshell, if the customers contact data is incomplete or in
error, the form will ask them to return to the page and correct things.
The previous data entered has been saved in the session and the input
value will equal the previous entry.

i.e.

<tr>
  <td align="right" class="infoBox"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL_ADDRESS; ?></td>
  <td align=left><?php echo "<input type=text name='cemail' value=\"$cemail\" size=35 maxlength=35>" ?></td>
</tr>

Works perfectly, all well and good there.

On the other 400 more or less entries, I am having a difficult time
tweaking the string concatenation to work to achieve similar results.

There are 4 columns each with $points entries asking for a dimension in
either feet or inches. 

The <input name=>  is one of ptaf,ptai,ptbf,ptbi, appended programatically with the corresponding
row number or data point.  i.e. "ptaf1", "ptai1", etc...  This is produced by the example
below and works perfectly also.

<?php {
$points=100;
$i=1;
while ($i <= $points)
{echo '
  <tr><td align="center" width="6"><b>  ' .$i . '</b></td>
     <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptaf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td>
      <td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptai'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td>
     <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" name="ptbf'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=3> </td>
      <td align="right" NOWRAP>B' .$i . ' (in) <input type="text" name="ptbi'.$i.'" size=4 maxlength=4> </td>

';

     $i++;
}   
}
?>


I am trying to add <input value=$ptai.$i> for each field but as I mentioned I
am not having any luck.  It seems as if I have tried every combination
imagineable, but still no luck. My head is spinning!

The closest I seem to have gotten was with this:

<td align="right" NOWRAP>A' .$i . ' (ft) <input type="text" size=6 maxlength=3 name="ptaf'.$i.'"  value="' . "$ptaf" . $i . '" ></td>

But line 17 for example returns this:

<input type="text" value="17" name="ptaf17" maxlength="3" size="6">

To recap, I am trying to have the value set to whatever the customer may
have entered previously.

Again, I would most appreciate any help anyone can give me. If you need
 clarification on anything please let me know.

Thanks

I have a simple form that edits student information.  I have several fields that I have a drop down list pulled as an array from a separate table.  I would like the information that is already entered on the student to be the default but still have the drop down list available if the item was entered in error. For example:  Drop down list of all the states of America, OH was entered for the student, when the edit form comes up for State in Address I would like OH to be the default but still have the list to choose if OH was entered in error. I have tried selected = $selected but then the entire drop down changed to OH.  I am very, very much a beginner in this

<?php
   // list of possible modules comes from database
         
          $state_array=get_states();
       
       
          //display as a drop down list for end user to choose
        if (!is_array($state_array))
      {
         echo "<p>No States are currently available<p>";
         return;
      }
    
             
       
          foreach ($state_array as $row)
        {
               echo "<option value=\"".($row['stateid'])."\"";
