PHP - Help With Submit Buttons

So I have created an online test .

I have the results from the form submitted to my email. It is working great but the only problem is that when a question is left unanswered, the radio button doesn't have a result.

What i want it to do is when a question is left unanswered, the email should look like this

(Question) 1_01: True
                  1_02: Unanswered
                  1_03: False
                  1_04: Unanswered
                  1_05: True

Right now it looks like this:

(Question) 1_01: True
                  1_03: False
                  1_05: True

I can't make the radio button required because it is a timed test where you have to work fast, so unanswered questions are going to happen.
How do I make it so that unanswered radio buttons submit the value "unanswered" in the E-mail?

Say I have an "Entries" table. I want to submit same multiple entries using a form submission. And If I have other queries submitted in the same form, I want those quarries to be submitted only once.  Is that possible to do? 

Here's my code.

if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

  $entries = 10;

  $id   = 55;
  $name = 'Smith';

  $insert = $db->prepare("INSERT INTO entries(id, name) VALUES(:id, :name)");
  $insert->bindParam(':id', $id);
  $insert->bindParam(':name', $name);
  $result_insert = $insert->execute();
  if($result_insert == false) {
    echo 'Fail';
  } else {
    echo 'Success';
  }

}
?>
<form action="" method="post">
  <input type="submit" name="submit" value="SUBMIT" />
</form>

Hi.  Pretty straight forward I guess but as the name suggests am a newbie.  I have a form that requires the user to enter certain parameters.  If the values are blank it submits to itself and loads the error messages.  What I want to do is create PHP code that submits the form to a different url.  What I thought was create two forms (the second with hidden fields replicating the first form), each form having a different url in the action"" code.  What I cant work out is the PHP IF ELSE code to submit form 2 if Form1 is is validated correctly.  This is the PHP code relevant to the form validation.  Help?

<?php
      //If form was submitted
      if ($_POST['submitted']==1) {
          $errormsg = ""; //Initialize errors
          if ($_POST[width]){
             $title = $_POST[width]; //If title was entered
          }
          else{
             $errormsg = "Please enter width";
          }
          if ($_POST[drop]){
             $textentry = $_POST[drop]; //If comment was entered
          }
          else{
             if ($errormsg){ //If there is already an error, add next error
                $errormsg = $errormsg . " & content";
             }else{
                $errormsg = "Please enter drop";
             }
          }
      }

      if ($errormsg){ //If any errors display them
          echo "<div class=\"box red\">$errormsg</div>";
      }

      //If all fields present
      if ($title && $textentry){
         //Do something
          
echo 'THIS IS WHERE I WANT THE CODE TO SUBMIT FORM 2 or SUBMIT FORM 1 TO A DIFFERENT URL';
      }   
      ?>

the info posts beautifully i just canst seem to get the button to auto click or submit, tried numerous ways!  help

Hi all, I was just wondering if it possible to execute a php-script when someone presses a button without the page to reload or is this done with javascript.

So for instance a calculator. I would be more than pleased to hear and if possible even a short example.
All i know is to work with a form method but as far as I know that requires the page to reload.
thanks!

I'm totally naive to php coding and i'm trying to modify my website which was written for me by someone else in php. So i'm kind of shooting in the dark - but my modification really isn't that difficult... here goes.

I already have a form set up allowing the user to select values from drop down menus.
To this I want to add a further selection from a choice of 4 radio buttons.
This is the coding I've used (i've stripped it down to basics for simplicity)
it's inserted between the 'form' tags

<input type=radio name="choice" value="FP">  Front Print<br>
<input type=radio name="choice" value="BP">  Back Print<br>
<input type=radio name="choice" value="PP">  Pocket Print<br>
<input type=radio name="choice" value="CP">  Custom Print<br>

Ok - this part displays ok and seems to function as expected.

The form 'Action' sends the user to another php page so i need to access these values on a different page. This is where I'm running blind.

I just want a simple 'if' statement to set a variable based on the value of the radio buttons.
So something that looks like this....

if (choice[1].checked=true) {$printchoice = "Front Print";}
if (choice[2].checked=true) {$printchoice = "Back Print";}
if (choice[3].checked=true) {$printchoice = "Pocket Print";}
if (choice[4].checked=true) {$printchoice = "Custom Print";}

This part doesn't work - i've tried various combinations but i'm just taking wild guesses.
Any help would be much appreciated - thanks

I have made a form which includes text fields and radio buttons.
The user completes the fields and makes their selections. Once the form is submit, they are then directed to a php file which displays their entries and selections.

Atm I can't quite work out how to post their radio button selections.

Here is the form:
<legend>Car type</legend>
<input name="cartype" type="radio" value="1" id="carone" />
<label for="carone">Compact</label><br />
<input name="cartype" type="radio" value="2" id="cartwo" />
<label for="cartwo">Saloon</label><br />
<input name="cartype" type="radio" value="3" id="carthree" />
<label for="carthree">SUV</label>

and here is my current code for the text fields:
<?php
$firstname = $_POST['firstname'];
$lastname = $_POST['lastname'];
$emailaddress = $_POST['emailaddress'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];


echo "Dear ". $firstname . " " . $lastname . ",<br />";
echo "Thank you for your order. <br />";
echo "Your contact details a - <br />";
echo "phone: " . $phone . "<br />";
echo "email: " . $emailaddress . "<br />";

?>
</body></html>

If anyone could give a hand I'd be very grateful!

Hi i'm making a new website based on PHP. I bumped on a problem now...

The problem is that I have a loop where i get all records out of my sql database and get them into a form. Every record has a differend form with a button to. Every button then has a unique ID.

Now i tried everyting i could think of to get the value out of a button when a button is clicked. But nothing worked... here is the part of the code where everything is for the form and the POST.

Code: [Select]
while($record = mysql_fetch_object($result)){
$id = $record->id;
echo"<form action='home.php' method='post'>";
echo"<b>name:</b>".$record->name." <b>Price: </b>".$record->price."";
echo'<input type="hidden" name="id" value='.$id.'>';
echo"<input type='submit' value='Buy' /><br />";
echo"</form>";
}

if($_POST) {
$ID = intval($_POST['id']);
$query1 = "SELECT price FROM items WHERE id = ".$ID."";
$result1 = mysql_query($query1);
list($cost) = mysql_fetch_row($result1);
$gold = getStat('gc',$userID);
if($gold > $cost) {
setStat('gc',$userID,($gold - $cost));
$queryw = "INSERT INTO users_inventory(item_id,user_id, quantity) VALUES ('".$ID."','".$userID."','1')";
$resultw = mysql_query($queryw);
} else {
echo"You can't afford this weapons.";
}
}

The only thing that doesn't seem to work is this part

Code: [Select]
$ID = intval($_POST['id']);
is always gives me this error:

Notice: Undefined index: id in shop.php on line 26


Please help me out here i have no idea what to do from here on...

Code: [Select]
if ($cartype = 1 )
{
echo "Compact <br/>";
}
elseif ($cartype == 2 )
{
echo "Saloon <br/>";
}
else if ($cartype == 3 )
{
echo "SUV <br/>";
}
This code will only display the first radio button atm. How do I fix this?

 

Hello guys. I am learning PHP little by little and am writing a VERY basic quiz. For functionality in the future I want to be able to change questions and answers in one "included" php doc. The problem i am having with my current code is that I would like to place a variable in the "value" definition on the radio input. I am unable to do this I guess. Any suggestions to accomplish the same thing? Sorry for my horrible code, this is the first thing I have written from scratch.

The form page:

Code: [Select]
<?php
include ("test.php");

?>

I have been at this for far too long and really need some help. I am just trying to check if a radio button has been set or not when someone hits submit. My validation looks something like this:

function protect($string){
   $string = trim(strip_tags(addslashes($string)));
   return $string;
}


if(isset($_POST['submit'])){
         
         //protect and then add the posted data to variables
         $username = protect($_POST['username']);
         $password = protect($_POST['password']);
         $passconf = protect($_POST['passconf']);
         $email = protect($_POST['email']);
         $fname = protect($_POST['fname']);
         $lname = protect($_POST['lname']);
         $address = protect($_POST['address']);
         $phone = protect($_POST['phone']);
         $gender = $_POST['gender'];
         
         if(!$username || !$password || !$passconf || !$email || !$fname || !$lname || !$address || !$phone || !isset($gender)){

            echo "<p>Please enter all required fields</p>";
   
      
            }else{





and my form for the radio button is like this...


   <form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">
           
            <h1>General</h1>
                  <p>
                  <label for="username">Username: </label>
                  <input type="text" name="username" value="<?=$_POST['username'] ?>" />

                        <label for="password">Password: </label>

Please enter all required fields"


can anyone help me please?

I'm not sure how to use foreach to send multiple form information to the database.

<form>
<input id="<?php print $row['id'];?>" name="attendance" type="radio" value="1" checked="checked" />
<input id="<?php print $row['id'];?>" name="attendance" type="radio" value="2" />
<input id="<?php print $row['id'];?>" name="attendance" type="radio" value="3" />
</form>

I have a group of 3 buttons for three different options and this is in a php while loop,and there could be anywhere from 1 to 30 of these forms that ineed to send the data to the database at the same time.
each one of these groups are next to a user to mark if they were present, tardy, or absent.
I need it to get the id of the user for each one of these and send the value to the database as well.

Hi Guys,

I am writing a web site for a Company. I have two issues the First one is how can or is it possable to check weather a user is logged in and then call on of two functions depending on the outcome.

The second one and the more important ones is it possable to call a PHP Function by a user Clicking a Link or a button? If it is possable how would I go about doing this.

Each functions build a different section of the site so for Example;

The Function 'Data' will bring back a table displaying the Data from a set table, and then the Function 'Data_Input' would display a different page that allows the users to input data to the tables. I don't want these two functions to be dispalying at the sametime but to one Display and then the other and so on for other functions.

Hi guys...I need some help in matching data from results of checkboxs and radio buttons.

My Intentions:

There are 3 radio buttons and 8 check boxes. Users can select any one but cannot don't select at all. I separate the calss and categories because for classes, users can only select 1 option whereas for categories users can select many.
For example, User select class 1 but do not select anything else and click submit...the system will then retrieve that he selected and check the data base if he have the pre requisites to allow him to go through.

Coding for my form:

Code: [Select]
<form id="applicationoptions" method="post" action="s_apply_now.php">
<div id="optionshead">Class :</div>
<div id="classoptions">
<input type="radio" name="class" value="1" /> Class 1 Permit       
<input type="radio" name="class" value="2" /> Class 2 Permit       
<input type="radio" name="class" value="3" /> Class 3 Permit
</div>
<div id="optionshead2">Categories :</div>
<div id="catoptions">
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="1" /> CAT 2PG         
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="2" /> CAT 1OR         
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="3" /> CAT 2TT <br/><br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="4" /> CAT 3PG         
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="5" /> CAT 2OR         
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="6" /> CAT 3TT <br/><br/>
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="7" /> CAT 4PG         
<input type="checkbox" name="cat" value="8" /> CAT 3OR
</div>
<div class="applynext">
<input class="applynextbutton" type="submit" name="applynextbutton" value="PROCEED" />
</div>
</form>
Lets say if user do not select any class, but select CAT 3PG, system will check if user have the pre-requisites before proceeding to next step.

Any one can help me or give me hints?? most importantly is i do not know how to retreieve the values selected from the form.

Is it possible to do it using php or must i hunt for javascript's script??
