PHP - Using Fdf (or Something Else) To Write To Pdf Form

There are two pieces to this- The HTML Form and the resulting php. I can't seem to make the leap, from the code to having the form produce the php page so others can view it until the form is again submitted overwriting the php, thus generating new content.

The environment I am working in is limited to IIs 5.1 and php 5.2.17 without mySQL or other DB

I'm new to php, this isn't homework,or commercialization,  it's for children.  I am thinking perhaps fwrite / fread but can't get my head around it.

Code snipets below. Any help, please use portions of this code in hopes I can understand it

Thanks

This replicates several times down the page around 15-20 times ( t1### - t20###)

Need help ASAP. i need the following form to right to mysql table "table1" and columns "name" "email" and "comment". <form action="sign.php" method="post" class="pure-form pure-form-stacked">
<fieldset>

<label for="name">Your Name</label>
<input id="name" type="text" placeholder="Your Name" name="name">

<input id="comment" type="text" placeholder="Your Comments" name="comment">

<a href="thanks.html" button type="submit" class="pure-button">SUBMIT</button>
</a>

</fieldset>
</form> My PHP File looks like this: <html>
<body>

<?php
$myUser = "dbuser";
$myPassd = "********";
$myDB = "dbname";
$myserver = "192.168.1.80:3306";
$name = $_POST['name'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$comment = $_POST['comment'];

// Create connection
$dbhandle = mysql_connect($myserver,$myUser,$myPassd)
or die("Unable to connect to MySQL");
echo "Connected to MySQL<br>";

//select a database to work with
$selected = mysql_select_db($myDB, $dbhandle)
or die("Couldn't open database $myDB");
//if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
//echo "Failed to connect to MySQL: " . mysqli_connect_error();
//}
//echo "connected";

$sql = "INSERT INTO signatures (name, comment) VALUES ( $name, $comment)";

if (!mysql_query($sql))
{
die('Error: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo "record added";

mysql_close($dbhandle);
?>
</body>
</html> I also need this to redirect to another html page after it run. Like i said any help would be great because i cant get it to work!

Hi all,

I'm using a gateway for CC, when they payment is made and then users are redirected back to my site, I grab the order number and echo it as $info so I can display on the user's receipt.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$info=$_POST['OrderNo']; 
echo "$info";
?>

Is it possible to use PHP to either to automatically (onload) submit a form or somehow write $info to a text file so I can reconcile the books later?  I can do the former successfully with JavaScript... but I'd rather make it server-side.

Thanks.

 

I am pretty new to php and trying to teach myself.  I can't get the values from this form to write to my flat file called orders.txt:

browse_index.php

<?php 
include("includes/menu_members.php")
?>
<div id="content">

<h1>SHOPPING CART</h1>
<a href="browse_index.php">CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE SHOPPING</a>
  

<?php 

echo '
  <table border="0">
  <tr>
  <td><form id="f2" method="post"name="f2"><input type="submit" action="order_summary.php" name="submit2" value="submit order"></td>
  ';

  if(isset($_POST['submit']))
  {

  $itemname = $_POST['h1'];

  //echo $_SESSION['itemname'][$itemname];
  unset($_SESSION['itemqty'][$itemname]);
  unset($_SESSION['itemprice'][$itemname]);
  unset($_SESSION['itemname'][$itemname]);
  }

  echo "<br/><br/>";
  echo "<table border='8' bgcolor='#efefef'>";
  echo "<tr><th>Name</th><th>Quantity</th><th>Price</th><th>Subtotal</th></tr>";
  foreach($_SESSION['itemname'] as $key=>$value)
{

echo
'<tr><td><b>'.$_SESSION['itemname'][$key].'</b></td>
<td>'.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key].'</td>
<td>$'.$_SESSION['itemprice'][$key].'</td>
<td name="subtotal">$'.($_SESSION['itemqty'][$key] * $_SESSION['itemprice'][$key]).'</td>
<td><form id="f1" method="post" name="f1"><input type="submit" name="submit" value =
"delete"><input type="hidden" name="h1" value='.$key.'></td></tr>'
;

}
  
?>


order_summary.php:

<?php
session_start ();

$date = date ("H:i jS F");

$outputstring = $date."/t"

.$_POST['h1']. ":"

.$_SESSION['itemqty'][$key]. ":"

.$_SESSION['subtotal'][$key]. ":"

."\n";

$fp = fopen("orders.txt","a");

fwrite($fp, $outputstring);

fclose($fp);
?>

Can someone direct me where I am going wrong???
