PHP - Accepting Post Data Which I Don't Know?

Hello     I have a nusoap web service running, which is fine, but I need to send a new variable in the parameters which decides what database to use...   This is how I call the function:

 
    $params = array(
 
'region' => '1' 
 
);
 
 
$response1 = $client->call('function1', array ($params)); // response will be in JSON
 

 

So basically I'm using PHP to solve a math problem for me. The user puts in a few parameters and the program runs those numbers through the algorithm and spits out a bunch of xy coordinates. I'm using the PHP SELF method to retrieve the user input. This all works fine, but it's afterwords that I run into problems. I create a drop down menu of all the x values and I want the user to be able to choose any x value they wish and to have the corresponding y value be displayed. The problem is that I have to use another POST command for this and when I do, it wipes out all the computed data.  Of course the y-value is never displayed, and there lies the problem.

I'm sure there are many ways to get around this, but I could not find one out myself. Anyone have any ideas?

i am trying to fit this php code to so when ever i upload a video link to the database it prints in the divs from left to right. ( i have made blank boxes for where the videos should be, so you guys can see what i mean. i will give you the code here.

Code: [Select]
<?php
$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `G4V_Videos` ORDER BY `id` DESC") or die(mysql_error());

while ($data = mysql_fetch_array($query)) { 
?>
ID-nummer: <?php print $data['id']; ?> - Name: <?php print $data['navn']; ?> -
<a href="/Video.php?id=<?php print $data['id']; ?>"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/<?php print $data['link'];?>/hqdefault.jpg" width="200" height="160" /></a><br />
<a href="/Video.php?=<?php print $data['id']; ?>">
<?php
}
?>

and the website is here, http://www.game4vids.com/index.php

and i also want it so once i have used up all the boxes it posts the new video in box one and overwrites the old one if you get what i mean.

This website is a great example of what i mean.

Hello,
I need to post plenty of data to a file with a java file with a .do extension using a php program.
How do I get to auto-post mass data in php from a database straight to this java file?
Put in mind that each mysql record is posted as its own form as in: <form ...>mysql record</form>

Thanks in advance

I'm doing an ajax call from javascript using jquery library:

Code: [Select]

    ajaxCall: function(process, obj, type){     
        $.post("registration-post.php", type + "=" + process,
            function(data){
                if(data==""){
                    $(obj).css(registration.errorNotificationType, registration.validatedColour);
                }else{
                    $('.error').append($.trim(data) + "<br />");
                    $(obj).css(registration.errorNotificationType, registration.errorColour);
                    registration.progress = false;   
                }
            }
        );
    }


When the ajax calls the php page, I want the php page to know what post information the javascript has sent, rather than pre-defining what the PHP should be trying to retrive from the POST data.

Something like


          // pseudo

          $_POST["whateverwassentfromajax"]



I want to do this because I want to have one function doing everything. So in my javascript I am saying, check if the username and email have already been used...
But i dont want to call two different php functions.



//pseudo

function 1(){
      $_POST["username"];
}
function 2(){
      $_POST["email"];
}



Is there a special way to know which post data has been sent.
Or do i need to do a few if statements in php.

Hi All,

Not sure if this is a silly question so here we go.

I have some divs that have data attributes (data-value).  When i submit and post the form, can i use these values as part of the submission and put their data-value into the db?

Thanks as always in advance.

I've looked at various cURL tutorials and the PHP manual, but I don't see what I'm doing wrong here. My goal is to be able to send data to test.php and then have that page run a MySQL query to insert the TITLE and MESSAGE into the database. Any comments? :/

II am new to jscript and AJAX and have a problem that I need to solve.   I have a form on which I need to input the RGB values of a color that will be used in the next PHP file.   I have choosen a color chooser written in jscript called JS-Color.   There are a number of pre-written scripts for choosing the color, of which I have used the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jscolor/jscolor.js"></script>

R<input id="red" size="5">  G<input id="grn" size="5">  B<input id="blu" size="5">  - - -
H<input id="hue" size="5">  S<input id="sat" size="5">  V<input id="val" size="5">

<p> Choose any color: <input class="color" id="myColor" onchange="
	document.getElementById('red').value = this.color.rgb[0]*100 + '%';
	document.getElementById('grn').value = this.color.rgb[1]*100 + '%';
	document.getElementById('blu').value = this.color.rgb[2]*100 + '%';
	document.getElementById('hue').value = this.color.hsv[0]* 60 + '&deg;';
	document.getElementById('sat').value = this.color.hsv[1]*100 + '%';
	document.getElementById('val').value = this.color.hsv[2]*100 + '%';">

I am trying to work out how to use this to get the 3 values that I can post in a form. Looking at the internet, I have found that AJAX is the easiest way to POST from jscript. I have attempted to write some script, but I'm sure I'm way off the mark. Here is my attempt:

Which is the variable that I can use? Is it this.color.rgb[0]*255; for example? I have created a variable $red etc, but it does not even open the test_input.php file.   None of the examples I have seen on the internet relate to the task I am trying to figure out.   Can anyone advise me?  

How can I encrypt POST data from a form? Basically, I want to ensure that the data on the form is not in plain text ever. Is this possible?

<form method="post">
<input type="text" name="email" size="40">
<input type="password" name="password"/>
...


Basically, when this posts, I want to do a foreach on $_POST and see something like:
password = 1f3870be274f6c49b3e31a0c6728957f
  and not
password = stringTheUserTyped

I hope what I'm asking for is clear.
(PHP 5.2.14)

Thanks!

I needed a server side PHP validation script for my form to use on top of client side Javascript as a backup. I found a nice package where I just include the validator and set a few options then it does the rest. However it doesn't seem to work with the action="whateveraction.php" for the form. It will skip all the validation and immediately go to the action script. So I left that blank as you can see in the form below and figured I would send the post data somehow to the script using PHP when the validation is successful. However I am stumped on how to do that can I get some coding help?

This is the small validation script. I will attach the formvalidator.php in this post.
Code: [Select]
<?php
require_once "formvalidator.php";
if(isset($_POST['submit']))
{
    $validator = new FormValidator();
    $validator->addValidation("age","req","Please fill in your Age");
    $validator->addValidation("mcid","req","Please fill in your Minecraft Username");
    $validator->addValidation("description","req","Please fill in a Description");
    if($validator->ValidateForm())
    {

      //need something here to have it send the post data to /mcbuildapp/form_submit.php

    }
    else
    {
        echo "<div class=blockrow><b><font size=5>Form Errors:</font><b></div>";

        $error_hash = $validator->GetErrors();
        foreach($error_hash as $inpname => $inp_err)
        {
          echo "<div class=blockrow><p><font color=red>$inp_err</font></p>\n</div>";
        }
    }
}

Then the form if it matters....
Code: [Select]
<div class="blockrow">
<font size=4><b>Minecraft Building Rights Application</b></font>
<br />
<br />
<b>Failing to fill in any of these fields sufficiently will result in an automatic denial of your application!</b><br />
<b>Think of it this way, being lazy and applying wrong is only wasting your time. Take the time to do it correctly the first time.</b>
 
<br />
<br />

<b><font color=red>To ensure proper user authentication and security you must first join the server at least once before applying for your building rights to work!</font></b>
<br />
<br />
<form action="" id="mcbuilderapp" name="mcbuilderapp" method="post">

<label><b>Your Minecraft Username (required)</b><br />
Use exact capitalization and punctuation that matches your Minecraft.net account!</label>
 
<br />
<br />
 
<input type="text" name="mcid" id="mcid" maxlength="25"/>
 
<br />
<br />
 
<label><b>Your Age (required)</b></label>
 
<br />
<br />
                 
<input type="text" name="age" id="age" maxlength="3"/>
   
<br />
<br />
 
<label><b>Describe Yourself (required)</b><br />
Describe yourself in <b>no less</b> than 3 sentences using <b>correct grammar</b>.</label>
 
<br />
<br />
 
<textarea name="description" id="description" minlength="10" maxlength="1000" cols=60 rows=5 wrap="physical">
</textarea>
 
<br />
<br />
 
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit" />
</form>
</div>

Hi there,

I am wanting to insert post data into my DB, this is guest information

if i do a 

 $safePost = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST);
        print_r($safePost);

i get the following output.

Array

(

[action] => addGuestInfo

[guestno] => 2

[bookingid] => 151

[customerid] => 22

[Guestname-0] => Jamie

[Guestname-1] => Joe

[GuestAge-0] => 4-3

[GuestInfo-0] => celiac

[GuestAge-1] => 18

[GuestInfo-1] => wheat

)

normally the guestname-0, guestage-0, guestinfo-0 would be in correct order but we have to ensure the just incase it isns't (see output above) we cater for that aswell, we can have upto 6 guest details coming in at once.

so I need to loop through the data and insert into my DB. I have tried various for / foreach loops but cant seem to get it to group the data together

I have tried things like below, but it inserts each record multiple times.

$safePost = filter_input_array(INPUT_POST);
foreach($safePost as $key => $value){                 
            $exp_key = explode('-', $key);
          // for ($i =0; $i <= $guestcount; $i++) {
      switch ($exp_key[0]) {
        case 'Guestname':
            $booking->guestno = $exp_key[1];
            $booking->guestname = $val;
        break;
        case 'GuestAge':
            $booking->guestno = $exp_key[1];
            $booking->guestage = $val;

        break;
        case 'GuestInfo':
            $booking->guestno = $exp_key[1];
            $booking->guestinfo = $val;

        break;
        default:
        break;
  }
 //CALLS FUNCTION TO INSERT TO DB result = lastInsertId();
  $result= $booking->insertGuestDetails();
//}
}

 

I have a form with lots of fields.

How would I run a loop to get each field name and data into an array, so i can then send it off to a function to process each field name / data differently. Instead of typing all the variables in the main function name for each post.

Would a foreach statement work?

Hello guys.

I have a form with 20 images. My user have to write a description for each image and when submitting the form the user will get an HTML code which will display an album.

My problem is that my users want to choose a sequence of the images in the album. How do I solve that?

I tried with making a select with 20 options (number 1-20) for each image and a desription for the user to place them in a correct sequence but I don't know how to do it. And another problem is when a user chooses the same number for more than one image.

Thanks

Iv tried asking a lot of people and have had no luck resolving this issue, so I will try here.

I have created a Form which gathers its information from a Database. The first form is a Dropdown Option, which when submitted takes you to another page. The new page is Supposed to use the value from the Dropdown to search the database and return the proper rows to populate a few text areas to edit the values. This is where I am stuck.

Compared to what most of you create this is probably sloppy and not too well structured, but I am new to this. Anyways, I will provide more information below now.

The following is the initial page with the first form. This is where you would select what page you wish to edit. (I believe this may be where the issue resides) - (I included the 'num' value before the 'name' value so that I could see it is getting the value from the database, which it is)

<form method="post" action="pageedit.php"><br />    
<?php
include "config.php"; 
    echo "<select name=\"page\">\n";

        $conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password");
        
        if (!$conn) {
            echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();
            exit;
        }
          
        if (!mysql_select_db("$database")) {
            echo "Unable to select $database: " . mysql_error();
            exit;

<input type="submit" />

And then the following is the page that the form is sent to when submitted: (I have attempted to Echo the 'num' value sent so that I could verify that it is indeed sent, but it is not. I will post the message I receive after the PHP snippet

<form method="post" action="pageeditinsert.php"><br />
<?php
include "config.php";
echo $_POST['num']; 
$num=$_POST['num'];

$conn = mysql_connect("localhost", "$username", "$password");

if (!$conn) {

echo "Unable to connect to DB: " . mysql_error();

exit;

}

  

if (!mysql_select_db("$database")) {

echo "Unable to select $database: " . mysql_error();

exit;

}

$sql = "SELECT * FROM sitepages WHERE num = '$num'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

if (!$result) {

echo "Could not successfully run query ($sql) from DB: " . mysql_error();

exit;

}

if (mysql_num_rows($result) == 0) {

echo "No rows found, nothing to print so am exiting";

exit;

}

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

echo "<input name'num' type='hidden' class='form1' value='";

echo $num;

echo "' maxlength='10' id='cat' /><br /><br /><br />";

echo "<input name='name' type='text' class='form1' value='";

echo $row['name'];

echo "' maxlength='20' id='name' /><br /><br />";

echo "<input name='desc' type='text' class='form1' value='";

echo $row['desc'];

echo "' maxlength='100' id='desc' /><br /><br /><br />";

echo "<input name='title' type='text' class='form1' value='";

echo $row['title'];

echo "' maxlength='100' id='title' /><br /><br /><br />";

echo "<input name'cat' type='hidden' class='form1' value='cat' maxlength='3' id='cat' /><br /><br /><br />";

}
?>
  <br /><br /><br />
  <center><input type="submit" /><input type="reset" /></center>
</form>

Below is the message I receive when attempting to echo the POSTed 'num' value:

Anyways thanks for your time. Hopefully someone has an idea for me.
