PHP - Combining Url Parameters From Multiple Forms
Hi all
I need to combine URL parameters using the following forms: <form id="type_filter" name="type_filter" method="get" action=""> <label for="type_filter"></label> <select name="type" id="type_filter" style="width: 160px" onchange="this.form.submit();" > <option value="" selected class="meter-calc-text">Product Type</option> <?php $fetchtypes=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `product_types` ORDER BY id ASC"); while($returnedtypes=mysql_fetch_array($fetchtypes)) { echo "<option value=\"".$returnedtypes['id']."\"".(($returnedtypes['id']==$_GET['type']) ? ' selected="selected"':'')." >".$returnedtypes['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> </form> <form id="colour_filter" name="colour_filter" method="get" action=""> <label for="colour_filter"></label> <select name="colour" id="colour_filter" style="width: 160px" onchange="this.form.submit();" > <option value="" selected class="meter-calc-text">Colour / Finish</option> <?php $fetchcolours=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `product_colours` ORDER BY id ASC"); while($returnedcolours=mysql_fetch_array($fetchcolours)) { echo "<option value=\"".$returnedcolours['id']."\"".(($returnedcolours['id']==$_GET['colour']) ? ' selected="selected"':'')." >".$returnedcolours['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> </form> At the moment they only send one parameter each. How do I drop down on one and add it to the parameter already on there to give this URL: ../stone.php?type=1&colour=1 Many thanks Pete Similar TutorialsI have to make a mail form (which is already coded) that will pull peoples names and email address from a database based on certain form parameters. I have the form done and am so close on finishing it up but am stuck on some mail() issues. I have the form set up to use: mail($sendTo, $theSubject, $theMessage, $headers); Using this format, I know that I can send this email to multiple recipients at once doing the following: mail('Name1 <email1@na.com>, Name2 <email2@na.com>', $theSubject, $theMessage, $headers); So I have my mySQL query all set up and it looks like so: $query="SELECT * FROM operations_forms WHERE department='$initiatedBy'"; $result=mysql_query($query); while( $row = mysql_fetch_assoc( $result ) ) { $name = $row["name"]; $email = $row["email"]; $recip = $name . " <" . $email .">, "; $sendTo = $recip; } The problem I am having is that my $sendTo variable only is passing on one record, not a combination of all of them. I am at a loss here on how to spit out all the variables and then combine them into one. I can use the above and produce an echo call that looks correct... but it doesn't function correctly on the back end. Any help? Thanks! I am calling CURL and trying to do a POST request with parameters: Code: [Select] $curl = curl_init(); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, Array("Accept: application/json", "Content-Type: application/json")); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 15); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "curl 7.23.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu)"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "username:password"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.mydomain.com/route"); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "key1=blah1&key2=blah2"); return curl_exec(curl); The problem, inside the request at http://www.mydomain.com/route I am not seeing any POST parameters passed. I.E. Code: [Select] print_r($_POST); Code: [Select] Array ( ) Should have key1=blah1 and key2=blah2. Any ideas? Hello! I've got several forms on one page that use the same variable names for input values. (Say, form1, form2, and form3). I'm using javascript to show only one of the forms based on a selection (say British, American, Canadian). How can I write code which will tell the page to ONLY look at the variables from a particular form when I hit the submit button for one of the forms? Thanks so much.... I continue to have problems with this issue - primarily relates to the the placement of the code for processing the 2nd form on a page. This is what i wish to do: a. Form 1 - Select a User b. For selected user, list all the records c. Form 2 - Choose 1 record from the list. d. Update the record. Here's what i have so far. I've just put the structure out here as the error comes up when form 2 tries to get processed . I dont know if the issue is with the way i 've named the forms or the submit buttons. All pointers appreciated. Many thanks. Swati <?

The reason I'm doing it is that I'd like to create a mock-job application form for my students at school. This would be too long to have on one page. Anyway, I've created the most simple form I could think of and was hoping someone could help me out and show me how to get the info from page 1 to 2, then the info from pages 1 and 2 to 3, and then submit the info from pages 1, 2 and 3 to the database. Page 1 asks for firstname, page 2 asks for lastname, and page 3 asks for email address. The fourth page is the one that processes the form. Page 1: (app_form_1.php) Code: [Select] <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="app_form_2"> Firstname: <label> <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" /> </label> </form> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="Continue" id="Continue" value="Continue" /> </label> Page 2 (app_form_2.php) Code: [Select] <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="app_form_3"> Lastname: <label> <input type="text" name="firstname" id="firstname" /> </label> </form> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="Continue" id="Continue" value="Continue" /> </label> Page3 ( app_form_3.php ) Code: [Select] <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="app_form_process"> Email address: <label> <input type="text" name="emailaddress" id="emailaddress" /> </label> </form> <p> <label> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="Submit" value="Submit" /> </label> Page 4 (app_form_process.php ) Code: [Select] <?php global $_POST; $firstname = $_POST["firstname"] ; $lastname = $_POST["lastname"]; $emailaddress = $_POST["emailaddress"]; //**********************SEND TO DATABASE**************************** //MySQL Database Connect include 'mysql_connect.php'; $query = "INSERT INTO application_form (firstname, lastname, emailaddress)" .

Thanks, Dave Hi I have a script that pulls all records out of the database, each record is within a form with no name which results with a lot of forms with essentially the same name. I have an hidden field with the accID which I use to delete the record. This does what I want it to do but have read that you should avoid having mutliple forms, I guess for validation. I know I could do this with a link and use GET, but would rather not having this action showing the details of the deletion in the URL. Is multiple forms so bad? Thanks Hi all I have a form that i need to submit a get to the URL and then a second form that sends a different URL parameter but keeps the first in place? Here's my code: Code: [Select] <select name="category" onChange="this.form.submit();"> <option value= >--Choose category--</option> <?php $getcats = mysql_query (" SELECT * FROM `categories` ORDER by name ASC"); while ($showcats = mysql_fetch_array($getcats)) { echo "<option value=\"".$showcats['id']."\"".(($_GET['category']==$showcats['id']) ? ' selected="selected"':'').">".$showcats['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> </form> <form id="make" name="make" method="GET" action="create-advert.php?category='<?php echo $_GET['category']; ?>"> <select name="make" onchange="this.form.submit();"> <option>--Choose make--</option> <?php $getmakes = mysql_query (" SELECT * FROM `makes` ORDER by name ASC"); while ($showmakes = mysql_fetch_array($getmakes)) { echo "<option value=\"".$showmakes['id']."\"".(($_SESSION['make']==$showmakes['id']) ? ' selected="selected"':'').">".$showmakes['name']."</option>"; } ?> </select> </form> Each time I select the make in the second form the url parameter 'category' disappears from the first? Many thanks Pete [/code] Hi all I am trying to take the data from a form and add into a mySQL table. I have multiple forms on one page that uses a loop: Code: [Select] <?php $textqty = $showbasket['qty']; for ($i = 1; $i <= $textqty ; $i++) { ?> <form id="texts" name="texts" method="post" action=""> <input name="mainqty" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $textqty; ?>" /> <input name="productid" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $showbasket['productid']; ?>" /> <input name="productqtyid" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $i; ?>" /> <input name="productsize" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $showbasket['size']; ?>" /> Text: <input name="text_<?php echo $i; ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo $showtext['text']; ?>" size="35" maxlength="250" /> Colour: <select name="colour"> <?php $getcolours = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM text_colours ORDER BY id ASC"); while($showcolours = mysql_fetch_array($getcolours)) { ?> <option value="<?php echo $showcolours['colour']; ?>"><?php echo $showcolours['colour']; ?></option> <?php } ?> </select> No. Characters: <br /> <?php } ?> <input name="update" type="submit" id="update" value="Update" /> </form> This data is then inserted into the mySQL: Code: [Select] <?php if(isset($_POST['update'])) { $mqty = $_POST['mainqty']; for ($i = 1; $i <= $mqty ; $i++) { $productid = $_POST['productid']; $productqtyid = $_POST['productqtyid']; $productsize = $_POST['productsize']; $colour = $_POST['colour']; $producttext = $_POST['text_$i']; mysql_query (" INSERT INTO emb_texts SET sessionid = '".$sessionid."', productid = '".$productid."', qtyid = '".$productqtyid."', size = '".$productsize."', colour = '".$colour."', text = '".$producttext."'") or die(mysql_error()); } } ?> This almost works but it adds the $productqtyid the same very time. I'm not sure if I am going about the the right way? Each form needs to add its own values into the mySQL. Many thanks for your help Hello everyone, I'm a newbie with PHP and mySQL and need some assistance with writing a php script that searches a mySQL database using a form. The form has five fields that I want to search from and one is a required field (State). I need to filter or narrow down the search by either two or more fields. The problem I am having is if I used multiple WHERE clauses using the AND condition I have to enter valid information in all five fields and if I use the OR condition then my search does not produce the desired outcome (too many results). I "think" I need to use the AND condition but I need to be able to leave some of the fields blank (except for the State field) and narrow my search with using anywhere from 2-5 search fields. Also, another requirement is to be able to enter partial information in the search field "without" having to enter a wildcard in the search field. Any assistance is very much appreciated and thanks in advance for your help.

Hey guys, im new to php and have become stuck with having more than one html form/submit that will relays to another piece of code to view something At the moment my first form works but once i submit my second form it relays back to the first form how can i prevent this so i can have many submit forms on one php page? Thanks Code: [Select] <?php $dbname = $_POST['dbname']; $tblname = $_POST['tblname']; checksubmit( $dbname); function checksubmit( $dbname){ if(isset($_POST['enter'])) { checkform( $dbname); } else { page1( $dbname); } } function checkform ($dbname){ if(empty($_POST['dbname'])){ echo 'fill out database name'; } else page2( $dbname ); } function page1( $dbname){ echo " <form method='post' action=''> <table> <tr> <td>Database name:</td><td><input type='text' name='dbname' /></td> </tr><tr> <td colspan='2' align='right'><input type='submit' name='enter' value='enter' /></td> </tr> </table> </form> "; } function page2( $dbname ){ echo " <form method='post' action=''> <table> <tr> <td>Table Name:</td><td><input type='text' name='tblname' /></td> </tr><tr> <td colspan='2' align='right'><input type='submit' name='return' value='return' /></td> </tr> </table> </form> "; if(isset($_POST['return'])) { page3( $dbname ); } } function page3( $dbname ) { echo 'I want to make it here'; } ?> Hi I have put together a options page for the script that I have been working on. I have 1 options page where there options are divided into 4 jQuery tabs with there own save button. The options in each tab are posted using Ajax to their own separate file like process.php, process1.php etc. My question is there a way to place all the processing code in one file and if so would this affect the load on the server? Would each form be better off having their own page for processing? For example: Code: [Select] <form id="options_1" action="process1.php" method="post" > <!-- this is form 1 that is processed with process1.php --> </form> <form id="options_2" action="process2.php" method="post" > <!-- this is form 2 Can this form be processed using process1.php instead of process2.php --> </form> <form id="options_3" action="process3.php" method="post" > <!-- this is form 3 Can this form be processed using process1.php instead of process3.php --> </form> Hey all, This question is coming forth of another topic, but since that topic is not really about this issue, I posted this new topic. Okay, so I made a table, and each row is generated with a WHILE loop. In this while loop, there's also a form generated for each row/record, for updating them seperately. I'm having trouble with naming those forms to process them seperately. I could name them like name="form20110001", with the number being the record's id. But since there can be gaps between id's, how can I retreive them efficiently? And I want them to process all on a single process page, obviously. How can I do this easily? Can someone give me a concise example? Would appreciate it a lot. Thanks Hi Guys, I am attempting to create a program for a local auction house. I arrived at a stand still on a certain issue which is creating a sticky form. On the "enter auction details page" the user will be entering data as the auction is in session. 1. item Description 2. Item Price 3. Bidders Id 4. Qty Of course it would be repetitive to require the user to keep entering the same data for every bidder, so I want to stick the obvious fields which are "item description" & "Item Price" as these don't change until a new item comes up for sale. As of know I am processing the input on a separate page which records all input to the database with a redirect back to the "enter auction details page". I have tried many times to get the item description and item price fields to stick. These would need to change as the user moves onto the next item in which the description and price would change as well. Here is my current code for this part: Code: [Select] <?php session_start(); $field_itemDescription = ""; //iyem description, default as blank if (isset($_SESSION['itemDescription'])) $itemDescription = $_SESSION['itemDescription']; ?> <form action="record_trans.php" method="post"> <font face= "calibri" size= "4"> <table> <tr> <td><b>Item Description:</b></td> <td><input type= "text" name= "itemDescription" size= "30" value="<?php echo $itemDescription;?>"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>Item Price:</b></td> <td><input type= "text" name= "itemPrice" size= "5" value="<?php echo $itemPrice;?>"> </td> </tr> </tr> <td><b>Winning Bidders:</b></td> <td><input type="text" name= "bidderId" size= "5" /> </td> </tr> <tr> <td><b>How many deals?:</b></td> <td><input type="text" name= "itemQty" size= "3" value= "1" /></td> </tr> </table> <center><input type="submit" name="submit" value= "Save & Cont." " /></center> </form></font> I am creating a user inbox system. I am retrieving all the unread messages. Each message row contains a "reply" form. So say I have 10 messages showing on a single page. That's 10 forms. What I would like to know is how can I submit any one of the 10 forms and not have it affect the remaining 9 forms? Here is the basic code. if(isset($_POST['submit'])) { $post_message = trim($_POST['message']); $errors = array(); $db->beginTransaction(); if(empty($post_message)) { $errors[] = 'The message field can not be empty!'; } if(empty($errors)) { $db->commit(); echo 'success'; } else { $db->rollBack(); } } <form action="" method="post"> <fieldset> <textarea name="message" maxlength="10000" placeholder="What would you like to say?"></textarea> </fieldset> <fieldset> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" /> </fieldset> </form>
I have some function or method. Is there a better design patter to implement this?
function myFunction($a=null,$b=null,$c=null,$d=null,$e=null,$f=null,$g=null,$h=null) { //Do a bunch of stuff }Maybe the second function? function myNewFunction($data=array()) { $data=array_merge(array('a'=>null,'b'=>null,'c'=>null,'d'=>null,'e'=>null,'f'=>null,'g'=>null,'h'=>null),$array); //Do a bunch of stuff }Please provide decision making factors why you would use one approach over the other. Hi , im completely new to php and mysql. I have 2 websites running on the same server and im just wondering if there is a way that when someone logs into one of the websites that it will automatically log them in the other website as well so that they don't have to log in again. Maybe if you can point to some good beginner reading material or something that would be great.
I am trying to combine two tables into one query. This is what I tried but it wont work: Code: [Select] <?php include ('includes/db.php'); include ('includes/functions.php'); include ('includes/global.php'); session_start(); echo '<table width="100%">'; $statsql="SELECT * from `wall`,`feed` WHERE ORDER BY `id` DESC LIMIT 0,10"; $statres=mysql_query($statsql) or die(mysql_error()); while($statrow=mysql_fetch_array($statres)){ $vmessage=clean_up($statrow[message]); $date=clean_up($statrow[date]); $time=clean_up($statrow[time]); $by=clean_up($statrow[by]); $type=clean_up($statrow[type]); if($vmessage){ $usersql="SELECT * from `users` WHERE `id`='$by'"; $useres=mysql_query($usersql) or die(mysql_error()); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($useres)){ $avatar=clean_up($row[avatar]); $first=clean_up($row[first]); echo "<tr class='content'><td valign='top'> <img src='pic.php?w=50&h=50&constrain=1&img=photos/$avatar' /><br>$first"; } echo "</td><td valign='top'> $vmessage</td></tr>"; }else{ echo "$type<br>"; } } echo "</table>"; ?> Could someone help me out? Thanks! Hi there everyone! I've got a problem combining two queries. The situation is this. I've got a list of links and I want to allow the user to get a result list of all, only unread, all in a particular category and then only unread in a particular category. My query for all: /* No filtering and no unread */ $q_urls = "SELECT * FROM shortenified_urls WHERE is_social = '1' AND active = '1' ORDER BY date_added DESC"; My query for in a particular category: /* All links in a particular category */ $q_urls = " SELECT * FROM shortenified_urls WHERE shortenified_urls.primary_cat = $vu_cat_view OR EXISTS ( SELECT link_id FROM linkcats WHERE link_id = shortenified_urls.id AND cat_id = $vu_cat_view ) AND shortenified_urls.is_social = '1' AND shortenified_urls.active = '1' ORDER BY date_added DESC" ;My query for Unread in all cats: /* Unread only for all categories */ $q_urls = "SELECT * FROM shortenified_urls WHERE shortenified_urls.date_added > $vu_mark_as_read AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT lid FROM linkviews WHERE lid = shortenified_urls.id AND uid = $viewing_user_id ) AND shortenified_urls.is_social = '1' AND shortenified_urls.active = '1' ORDER BY date_added DESC" ; These seem to be working well. It's the next one that isn't working for me. I tried to combine the "All in a particular category" and "Unread in all categories" using the two above as starting points. The result, however, seems to be that I'm getting all in a particular category. It seems to be ignoring the unread status. /* Unread links in a particular category */ $q_urls = " SELECT * FROM shortenified_urls WHERE shortenified_urls.primary_cat = $vu_cat_view AND shortenified_urls.date_added > $vu_mark_as_read OR EXISTS ( SELECT link_id FROM linkcats WHERE link_id = shortenified_urls.id AND cat_id = $vu_cat_view ) AND NOT EXISTS ( SELECT lid FROM linkviews WHERE lid = shortenified_urls.id AND uid = $viewing_user_id ) AND shortenified_urls.is_social = '1' AND shortenified_urls.active = '1' ORDER BY date_added DESC" ;I'm not smart enough to know why it's not working, but it seems to me like I need to somehow bracket the first two parts containing the category retrieval to make this work right. The only problem is I don't know how to do that. Any help on how to get this to work would be greatly appreciated! Hi, I'm so close to having this work how I want but one last thing! I have a form with a drop down box with the numbers 1 - 60 in. I have created a view that returns any numbers people have submitted with their login names, e.g. 1 - Laurie 4 - Craig What I need to happen is it to list all the empty numbers too, so like this: 1 - Laurie 2 - 3 - 4 - Craig 5 - etc This code removes numbers that have already been selected from the drop down box (so after Laurie and Craig had chosen 1 & 4 the drop down box would now show 2, 3, 5, 6 etc) https://pastebin.com/dAps0kqJ and this code subtotals the rider numbers (I was just trying to get a custom view to work so am pleased this returns something) https://pastebin.com/A7MwSQ2S Using the first code how do I edit the second code so that it displays every number whether a user has chosen it or not? Thank you!!
